"Edwin?" I blinked in surprise, taking a

ep forward and leaning down to peer into his car. "What are you doing here?"

"I was out for a drive on my day off, Edwin replied c**lly with a shrug of one shoulder. "Are you headed somewhere?"

I nodded, glancing at my watch again. "I sort of missed the bus," I replied.

"Get in. then."

I hesitated for a moment, but realizing I had no other option, I opened the door and slid into the passenger seat of Edwin's car. The leather was cool against my skin, and the faint scent of his cologne filled the air. I hadn't been in here since he had taken me out to buy my new phone and tablet, which I still used religiously.

"So, where to?" Edwin asked, his eyes meeting mine briefly-and momentarily scanning my outfit, which made my tighten a bit before returning to the road.

Edwin shot me a curious look at the mention of the large office complex downtown, which housed a lot of the bigger companies headquarters. "The State Building? What are you doing down there?" "I have an interview with Mr. Black. From Black Textiles."

Edwin's eyebrows shot up. "Black Textiles. Impressive. That's a big opportunity."

I nodded, my fingers nervously fidgeting with the strap of my bag. "Yeah, it is, I admitted with a tiny smile. "I reached out to Mr. Black last week with my thesis proposal, and he offered to meet with me. But I'm pretty nervous, if I'm being honest."

"Well, we've got some time before we get there," Edwin said, glancing over at me as he stopped in front of a red light. "Why, don't you practice on me? I'll ask you some questions, and you can answer as if it's the real interview."

I blinked, surprised by the offer. "Are you sure? You don't have to-"

"I want to," he interrupted firmly. "Come on, it will help you relax. Besides, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about my student's thesis project."

The reminder that I was still, after everything, just a student to him made my chest clench a bit. But he was right; I could use any help I could get. Taking a deep breath, I nodded. "Okay, sure. Thanks" Edwin cleared his throat, his voice instantly taking a more formal tone. "So, Miss Thatcher, tell me about your project proposal."
