The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 101

Chapter 101 I'm Not Paying for Today's Ride

Piper observed Robin as he casually pedaled a shared bike, a sneer flickering in her eyes.

"Sir, can you slow down and keep pace with the car ahead of us?"

The rideshare driver shook his head in dismay. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss. We don't provide that kind of service. If I follow your request, how would I make any money?"

"Hey, you're just a driver. I've paid for this ride, so you need to deliver the service I expect! I ... I'll file a complaint about you!" Piper fumed, frustration evident in her voice.

"Fine, you can get out right now!" The driver immediately pulled over to the curb. "Complain all you want."

"What kind of attitude is that?" Piper shot back, jabbing her finger at the rideshare driver. "You're just a rideshare driver; what's so special about that? You're just another person struggling to get by—"

"I apologize for the inconvenience, sir," Rosalie interjected quickly, eager to de-escalate the situation before Piper could dig herself into a deeper hole. "Piper, don't act like this. The driver is just trying to do his job."

"Get out!" the rideshare driver barked.

Seeing his fierce expression, Piper fell silent and reluctantly exited the vehicle.

At that point, they were only a short distance from the entrance to the company.

Rosalie settled the fare and stepped out, releasing a deep sigh. "Piper, what's gotten into you? The driver has it rough too. He's trying to complete as many rides as he can this morning. Don't take it out on him."

"I'm definitely going to complain! He's just some low-class guy without any manners!" Piper whipped out her phone, ready to file her grievance.

"Please, Piper, don't do this. Everyone is just trying to make a living. What's made you so touchy today?" Rosalie pleaded.

Piper scoffed dismissively. "Ugh, Rosalie, what am I supposed to say? Fine, I'll let it slide this time! But I'm not paying for today's ride!"

Rosalie shook her head in disbelief as she watched Piper walk away, then hurried to catch up with her.

The morning was still young, yet the Eastvale Development Group building was already bustling with people waiting outside.

That day marked the final step in finalizing the signing of the Eastvale Ecological Project outsourcing contract.

They were set to approve the commitments linked to the investment project; all that remained was the CEO's signature for confirmation.
