151 I Donst Know You (1/2)
Masaichi Xiu took the chance of another spotlight blackout to drag the woman he saw out of the hotel and into his car, to the astonishment of the personnel.
He fastened her seatbelt and went to sit on the driver's and started the car. As he clutched the steering wheel with both hands, he froze before he stepped on the accelerator.
The last time he was in the car with his wife was the incident. His eyes and lips shook as he tried to calm himself from the trauma.
He took a deep breath and let go of the clutch pedal as he stepped down the accelerator.
The car sped away in almost 200kph, that the lady sitting shotgun was even clutching her seatbelt. Everything went fast that she did not have time to process and react accordingly to the situation.
”Uh...S-sir...can...can you slow down?” She was careful with her words while checking if his expression will change.
Unfortunately, he did not make even the slightest reaction, as if he did not hear her. He even stepped more onto the accelerator pedal, making the speed even more dangerous.
When they reached the roads to the mountains, he slowed down to maneuver through the sharp curves, but still maintained the speed over a hundred.
At this point, the lady was just waiting for the car to fall off a cliff.
Luckily, it did not. Masaichi was once a mischievous drifter in City T when he was younger, so he actually knew how to steer his car even in high speed.
Finally, they arrived at the seaside road.
With screeching brakes, the car stopped.
The man driving unbuckled his seatbelt and went to open the passenger seat. He unfastened her seatbelt and dragged her out, taking her wrist.
He strode away, with her trying to keep up behind him so that her wrist will not be injured.
Behind him was the sad and painful expression of those hazel eyes behind the dark contact lenses.
