Matthew turned to her with a crazy look on his face as if telling her that she has lose her mind. "No!! You know I can't ride public transport, right?"

Claire nodded with a smile on her face. "I know that's why it's called a bet."

Matthew thought for a while as he took a sharp turn which caused Claire to bump into the window once again.

Claire glared at him. "Tell me you didn't do that on purpose?"

"No, I did not. Trust me." Matthew glanced at Claire slightly.

Claire eyes glued to her phone as she tracked the cab using its license plate number. The little icon on the screen indicated the cab's location, moving steadily through the city.

"The cab is not that far from our location." Claire said, her voice tense with urgency.

Matthew nodded, keeping his eyes on the road. "Got it. I'll find a shortcut."

He quickly typed on the GPS, his fingers flying over the screen. Claire tightened her seatbelt, bracing herself for any sudden maneuvers. Matthew was known for his aggressive driving when the situation called for it. "We'll cut through Baker Street," Matthew said, his voice steady but intense. "Hold on tight."

Claire gripped the seatbelt as Matthew made a sharp turn, the car swerving onto Baker Street. The tires screeched, but Matthew expertly controlled the vehicle, weaving through traffic with precision.

Claire's heart pounded in her chest, but she trusted Matthew's driving skills.

"Where did you learn how to drive like this?"

"Well, long story short, while you were away, I kinda get into driving."

"That explain your driving skill." Claire mumbled under her breath. "I can see the cab up ahead," Claire said, pointing. "It's right there!"

Matthew's eyes narrowed as he focused on the cab. "Hold on. I'm going to block it."
