Jeffrey didn’t respond. He turned around and got back into the car. Seeing Rebecca sitting quietly in the back seat, he sent a quick message to Gregory and then slid into the driver’s seat and pulled away.

He didn’t think it was the right place to talk.

“Aren’t we waiting for them?” Rebecca asked.

“No,” Jeffrey said, his voice still rough as his large, striking hands gripped the steering wheel. “They’re heading back to the office. We’re not going the same way.”

Rebecca just gave a simple “Oh” and didn’t ask anything else.

The car fell silent again. Jeffrey kept his eyes on the road while Rebecca sat with her gaze lowered, lost in her own thoughts.

Riley watched as Jeffrey drove off without so much as a goodbye. She clicked her tongue, didn’t bother to wave him down, and instead turned to Gregory, who’d just come out after changing. “Did your boss set up a ride for us?”

Gregory nodded. “Yeah, he did.”

Riley said, “Have him bring my laptop to the office tomorrow.”

Gregory shot her a suspicious look, half–serious. “Why don’t you just tell him yourself?”

“Stuff that kills the mood is what assistants like you are for,” Riley said with a sly grin, her eyebrow cocked, looking almost roguish.

Gregory just stared at her, speechless.

Inside Jeffrey’s car, silence hung heavy. Outside, the occasional horn broke the air, but even the sound of the tires seemed swallowed up by the quiet.

Jeffrey glanced at the rearview mirror, catching sight of Rebecca sitting with her eyes lowered, lost in her own world. He broke the silence. “Do you want to go to your manor or Maple Garden?”

“Maple Garden,” Rebecca answered.

Jeffrey nodded. “Alright.”

They didn’t say another word for the rest of the ride to Maple Garden.

Jeffrey brought her home, and this time Rebecca let him come inside without a word.

“You…” Rebecca said softly, her gaze lingering on his wet hair, wondering if he was cold.
