Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Sit Beside Me

The driver stepped out of the car and opened the door to the passenger's seat. Hayden had set a rule that no one could sit beside him in the vehicle, regardless of who they were. They could only sit in the passenger's seat.

As Violeta was about to enter, the man in the back seat unexpectedly opened the back seat door and said in a deep voice, "You can sit at the back."

Violeta had one leg in the car, and she froze. The driver widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Hayden. "Sir?"

Hayden ignored the driver and said to Violeta, "Sit here."

"Oh, okay." Violeta went to the back seat. Surprised, the driver silently entered the car and started driving.

Violeta politely thanked Hayden in the car. "Thank you for picking me up."

Hayden leaned back in his seat, raised his brows casually, and looked at Violeta as if he were eyeing his prey.

Violeta felt a little uncomfortable at his gaze. Is something wrong with Zoren... Are my clothes dirty? Why does he keep staring at me? Violeta looked at her clothes uneasily but found nothing out of place. "You're welcome. You can return the favor by buying me a meal."

Violeta was taken aback. In any case, we're cousins. He's just picking me up to go to school together. It shouldn't be out of his way. Isn't he being too pushy by asking me to buy him a meal? Does he think we're very close?

"Okay, let's have lunch together later."

"Are you in the performing arts department?"

"Yes."

"I'll come find you at noon."

"Okay." Violeta blurted out each word. She didn't particularly want to say much to him.
