Chapter 423 I Was Worried Sick

After saying those words, Raegan felt her heart racing, silently hoping that Mitchel would sense the seriousness in her tone.

A short pause followed before Mitchel finally asked, "Why aren't you taking the ride anymore?"

Raegan felt a sinking feeling in her heart. He didn't get her silent plea for help!

The man started to think that Raegan was trying to signal for help and was close to breaking the phone in frustration.

Then, Mitchel's voice came through, slightly annoyed. "If you didn't want to take the ride, you should have told me earlier instead of having me wait."

The man froze, and Raegan hastily said, "I'm really sorry. forgot!"

"Don't even think about affecting my rating negatively. Just cancel the booking yourself!" Mitchel said before hanging up the phone, the annoyance in his tone evident.

This convinced the man of Raegan's claim, and he relaxed his guard slightly.

The man clumsily fumbled with Raegan's phone, asking in a rush, "Quick! What's the transfer passcode?"

Suddenly, Raegan's phone rang again, showing Mitchel's number.

The man looked confused. "What's this about now?"

Raegan, thinking on her feet, said, "He's probably telling me to cancel the ride. If I don't, he can't get to his next customer."

The man attempted to cancel the ride as Raegan suggested but struggled with the task.

As Raegan's phone kept buzzing, the man's frustration increased. "What's the deal with this useless phone!"
