“Huh?”

I muttered but Callahan had turned around and was walking towards the car. I stayed there, rooted to the spot as he went towards the car that the driver had already brought outside.

Callahan only gave me a side eye and I promptly climbed down the small flight of stairs before running towards him.

He gave me a side–eye and I meekly went towards his car, rather one of the cars. His garage was on the right and there were

a lot of cars inside that I could not get a glimpse of but they had all looked shiny and luxurious to me.

But he only opened the door of the car and got in the driver’s seat. Turning the ignition on, he steered the car in the direction of the gate.

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and kept waiting for me to get in.

He did not speak to me but simply increased the firing of the car while staring straight ahead.

After nervously staring at him for some time, I slowly stepped inside the car and got in the seat next to him.

1 closed the door and he did not even let me settle in the seat and simply hit the accelerator and drove outside through the large pathway.

“What the-” I began but decided to stay shut because I did not want him to take out his anger on me.

Callahan drove like a madman through the streets that were wide and not many cars dared to get into his way. Not knowing what else to do I found the seatbelt and wanted to put it on but fumbled with it because he was driving the car as if we were in some stupid race.

I tried to look outside but the roads seemed blurry and all I could see was a trail of green and brown dotted with some buildings here and there.

I placed my hands on the seat and dug my nails into it, hoping that he would not kill me today.

I could see the city lights twinkling from a few feet away and felt relieved that I would not be in this car for more than a few minutes.

I closed my eyes and tried hard not to puke as Callahan finally stopped the car outside a shop.

The car gave a jolt and I was slammed into the seat before he turned off the ignition. In the next minute, he was out of the car and slammed the door shut, making my ears hurt.

He did not look at me nor did he even say a word to me but simply stalked off and went into the shop.

I took a few minutes to gasp for breath and calm down my raging heart. I was afraid of speeding and it terrified me.

And I had a feeling if I told him, Callahan would have driven the car even faster, launching it into the sky.

After my heartbeat had calmed down a little, I got outside the car and with shaky legs stumbled outside.

Everybody in the shop was already standing in front of Callahan with their heads bent low and their hands folded in the front.

The store manager, a middle aged woman, promptly offered him a chair and gave him a low bow.

She was eyeing him as if he was a delicious candy. And not just her, all the salesgirls in the shop were eyeing him hungrily. But Callahan did not seem fazed by the looks he was getting. He sat on the chair, with his right leg’s ankle resting on the left leg’s knee, and gave them a bored look.

“Hello, my King. How can I help you today?”

She did not wait for the King to answer and hurriedly looked at her staff.

Get some refreshments for the King.”
