Anything For Her

Willow stared at Clayton in puzzlement.

“Why do you want her to get in? We’re already almost at school. There’s no need to give her a ride.” She was rather fearful of Clayton’s demands.

“Did you not hear me? We’re not even a couple yet, and you’re already not listening to me. Why should I keep you by my side, then? Remember, I only like obedient women.” The man appeared nonchalant, but his words were more than enough to instill terror within Willow.

“Clayton…” She gazed at him, not knowing what to do. What does he mean? Is he interested in Sophie?

Clayton said nothing more. He merely tapped on the steering wheel from time to time, looking surprisingly patient.

Under his watch, Willow called out to her sister, “Sophie! Hop in! Let’s go to school together.”

Yet, Sophie walked straight in the direction of their school without even looking up.

Willow balled her hands into fists.

She’s horrible! How could she humiliate me like that?

Being ignored like that in the presence of Clayton, she felt her cheeks burn in embarrassment.

“Clayton, I…”

“School’s about to start. You should get going,” Clayton responded, paying no heed to what had just happened.

Willow grabbed her bag, hopped down, and stared at him from beside the car.

“Go on,” the man added with a wave.

“You go first. I’ll leave after you do,” Willow insisted as she shot him a loving look.

With that, Clayton drove off immediately.

It looks like I won’t be able to get close to Sophie through Willow. I’ll have to think of another way.

His phone rang as soon as he began driving.
