Scarlette felt the sting on her hand but shrugged it off. She stepped out of the car and moved to the driver's seat. "I'll drive you home. You're the CEO now, you shouldn't be gallivanting around by yourself. The Greenard family has a lot of eyes on them, and you could be in danger."

Nicholas sat in the back, a reckless feeling bubbling up inside him.

Scarlette turned to glare at him, ready to let loose, but the wildness in his eyes held her back. She just said, "Let me take you home."

"I'm not going home."

"Then I'll drop you at the office."

"I don't want to go there either."
