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."

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