Chapter 65

Quintessa’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Jerome, who are you on the phone with? I better not be that annoying girlfriend of yours.

With a playful sprint, Quintessa dashed a few steps ahead, swung open the car door, and hopped into the passenger seat before Jerome could catch up.

Manny hit the gas and the car shot forward.
