Chapter 185

Anthea was unflappable, even in this chaotic situation. Sarah couldn’t help but admire her cool

composure.

Daniel chimed in, “Hey, it’s your first time in Capital City, right? C’mon, let me show you around. My treat! It’ll be a blast, and you’ll get the lay of the land.”

Sherman spoke up with a casual air, “Our driver’s here to pick us up. Ms. Yeager, if you don’t mind, we could give you a lift.”

As he finished speaking, a sleek stretch limousine pulled up in front of them.

“Well, we’d be fools to turn down that offer.”

Capital City traffic was a nightmare, taxis were rare as hen’s teeth, and you had to book rideshares in advance. With a ride already at their feet, Anthea saw no reason to refuse.

“Thank you,” Anthea and Sarah said as they slid into the plush interior.
