Jocelyn stepped out to the balcony and sure enough, spotted his flashy Porsche.

his car without making a scene?

Can you wait at the corner instead?”

“Why?”

“It’s too conspicuous Mom’s bound to walk us out, and if she sees us getting into your car, she’ll get suspicious,” Jocelyn was genuinely looking out for him.
