48

Amelia good mood instantly crashed as she thought, Nicole getting more shameless by the day! She’s actually seducing Drake in broad daylight during work hours! She bit down on her lip and decided that it was time she resorted to desperate measures.




Amelia gave up on her shopping, ran back to the car and started the engine. She glanced at the low wall next to the parking lot, and without another thought, she slammed on the accelerator and drove her car into the structure. 




The reaction from the impact caused Amelia to knock her head against the steering wheel.

The pain that followed was so intense that she had to take several sharp breaths to snap out of it.




 Now that she crashed the car and had sufficient reason to cry, Amelia inhaled deeply and took her phone before dialing Drake number.




At that exact moment, Drake phone, which was connected to the car’s system, rang with an incoming call, thereby disrupting the silence in the vehicle.




Amelia name appeared on the screen affixed to the dashboard. Nicole was already feeling unsettled, and when she caught sight of the name, she felt even worse.




She turned away from the screen; it seemed as though looking at the name offended her greatly. Drake hesitated upon seeing this, but he decided to answer the call anyway. “Hey, Amelia. What’s going on?”




“I crashed the car, Drake!” Amelia let out a pained whimper. “I’m so scared. Could you come help me, please?” She started to sob and whine for help.




The car slowed momentarily as Drake pressed out of concern, “Are you hurt?”




“My head hurts, and I feel like I’m spinning. Drake, I need you here. It really hurts…” Amelia sobbed miserably.




Sure enough, that prompted him to want to rush over to her location at once. “Send me the address and I’ll be right over.”




Next to him, Nicole snorted when she heard Amelia's voice. It's been five years since we last saw each other, but even l have to say her damsel in distress act is somewhat impressive..




Presently, Drake hung up the call and glanced at the address Amelia had sent him. 




He turned around and said to Nicole in a low voice, "Mind if we take a detour?".




Nicole shrugged in some sort of a half-hearted agreement. 




She figured she could go and take a look at the damage

Amelia had done..




Drake steered the car toward the largest mall downtown and drove down to the third floor of the basement parking lot. 




Amelia Porsche was still in the same state it had been in when it crashed into the wall, while the reckless driver herself was crouching next to the totaled car, looking as if she was trying to keep her head from cracking down the middle. 




At that moment, she looked up and saw Drake getting down from his car.




 She didn’t seem the least bit surprised that Anastasia had come along, though.




At once, she flew into Drake arms like a stunned baby bird. “You’re finally here, Drake…”




And here I was thinking that her headwould be caved in and bleeding from the impact, but she’s hopping around just fine.




 What a shame that the car is the only thing damaged here, Nicole thought bitterly.




“What are you doing here, Nicole?” Amelia asked, feigning surprise as she tightened her arms around Drake waist.




Nicole narrowed her eyes and pointed out mockingly, “It’s embarrassing to acknowledge you as a female road user, Amelia. 




Did you only get your driver’s license through bribery or something?”

Amelia chewed on her lip and stared at Nicole with red-rimmed eyes as she demanded, “Why do you have to be so mean, Nicole?”




“Oh, I’m being mean, am I? I thought youwould have lost an arm or a leg or something from the crash. In fact, I was going to light up fireworks to celebrate the joyous occasion of your fatal accident!” Nicole scoffed.




Upon hearing this, Drake frowned and turned to shoot her a look, as though agreeing that her words were completely uncalled for.




“Nicole, you…” Amelia eyes turnedred at that moment, and she looked like she could barely stand on her own feet. With a hand clapped over her forehead, she swayed and stumbled into Drake's arms.




Possessed of lightning reflexes, he reached out and steadied her before asking frantically, “What’s wrong, Amelia?”




"She's just putting on an act! She's perfectly fine," Nicole interjected sardonically, immediately seeing through

Amelia act..




Drake bit out darkly, “Could you just stop talking for a bit, perhaps?”

Nicole chewed the inside of her cheek. Since she refused to stay and watch him coddle Amelia, she rolled her eyes and said, “I’ll get going then.”




“No, don’t go,” he called after her, stopping her in her tracks.




She turned and gave him a long look. What,do you actually have time to bring me home to see your grandmother?.




Drake looked down at Amelia and muttered, “Amelia, Rey is on his way right now. I’ll have him send you to the hospital so you can get a full check-up,okay? If the doctor says you’re fine, just go back home and get some rest.”
