Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 202

I held onto Russel’s hand tight, nuzzling into his arm, as we walked out of the restaurant.

I didn’t give a hoot about the burning stares coming from behind us.

As we were about to hop into Russel’s car, he got a call from the hospital. There was an emergency that needed his attention.

“Go! Work comes first!” I urged him immediately I’ll have Bailey come pick me up.”

Since I came with Barbara, I had to either call a taxi or have someone pick me up.

Russel looked back at the restaurant entrance with worry, I reassured him, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t exchange more than a word with him.”

“Good, because I’ll get jealous.” Russel was pretty straightforward about this, never beating around the bush

I found it refreshing.

“Alright, go to the hospital” I replied.

But Russel suddenly leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. I was taken aback and completely unprepared.

‘I’m off to work now. Text me when you get home” Russel said with a wide grin, seeing that I didn’t reject him or show any signs of disgust.

I touched my face, feeling a little embarrassed. All I did was nod, no words were spoken.

As I watched Russel speed off to the hospital, I finally pulled out my phone to call Bailey to come get me.

Bailey had just dropped my dad off at a meeting, and it would take him more than half an hour to come get me.

“If I weren’t already at work, I’d hire another driver for my dad, and you could keep being my personal chauffeur,” I sighed.

Since I was just an ordinary worker, having a personal driver wouldn’t be appropriate.
