stock in it.”

Mark Mason added. “Yeah, I agree.”

With Mark’s support, Rebecca Jensen gave a straightforward answer, “Alright.”

“You really trust us that much?” Tom White said, a bit surprised she didn’t even pause to think it over. “Aren’t you worried we might just be trying to tank your business or joking around with you?”

“Maybe you would, Rebecca Jensen grinned, playfully shooting back now that she was used to having him

around. “But not Mark.”

Mark couldn’t hide his smugness at that.

He straightened up a little.

He swore he’d never let Mr. Hanson lose faith in him.

“Hey, you never know,” Tom White said, steering the car with a lazy grin. “You ever notice how in movies, the mastermind behind it all is always the last person you’d suspect–the one who looks like a total innocent right at the start?”

Rebecca Jensen rolled her eyes. “Please. That only happens in movies.”

Tom White chuckled. “Trust me, real life can be way more unpredictable than any movie.”

Rebecca Jensen smirked, “Guess that makes you the villain then.”

Tom White just gaped at her. ‘Wait, what?‘

Mark grinned, backing Rebecca up. “Boss is right.”

“You know what? You’re absolutely right,” Tom White replied, getting way too into it. “I’m handsome, charming, an ace driver, and I can read people and psychology like no one else. If that’s not main character villain material, I don’t know what is.”

Rebecca just stared at him, speechless.

Mark was totally at a loss for words too.

Tom White wasn’t done. “But relax, Ms. Jensen, because even if I am the villain, I’ll still be your loyal chauffeur and bodyguard–villain or not.”

“Eyes on the road,” Rebecca said sharply, glancing at him as he kept chatting and cutting through traffic. “I’d rather not die just yet.”

Tom White grinned. “You can question my morals, but not my driving skills.”
