Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 271

Rose struggled to enter the ATV as she opened the passenger door and tried to sit in it.

After steadying herself in her seat, Rose glanced over at Frank, who had already gotten into the car effortlessly, before chiding. “Can’t you pick me up with a smaller car? Where’s the Porsche you drove me in this morning?”

“Didn’t Frank know that she was vertically challenged? At five foot four, she disliked the inconvenient car,” she thought.

Frank started the car as if he did not hear anything and only stated his opinion, “This is so cool!”

Rose rebuked. “What a dumbass car. Frank, stop acting cool. If you are not using the Porsche, give it to me. I don’t have a car now Either that or you buy me a new car.”

Frank rebutted annoyingly. “Are you sure you can understand and follow the GPS navigation? Are you sure you will not go in the opposite direction?”

Rose exclaimed in exasperation, “I have a poor sense of direction but I’m not illiterate. How can one not understand the route of Athana on Google Maps? Are you despising me

Frank hissed. “You”

Rose glared at him fiercely, indicating that she was angry that he had offended her.

After a few seconds of silence. Frank carefully said without regard for his sister’s opinions. Tll arrange a chauffeur for you tomorrow who will send you to and from work in the future.”

Hearing this, Rose calmed down. She knew that the person Frank hired was not a mere chauffeur. He must have a certain level of skill

Frank continued. “He’ll only send you to and from work”

Rose understood what he meant and accepted his offer She lay back in the chair and supported herself with one hand on the window She tilted her head and looked at her brother in the driver’s seat “Alright. At least I can guarantee that I’ll remain healthy before I go to Sapphure City”

Frank’s arm which was on the steering wheel trembled. He glanced sideways at Rose before turning his gaze onto the road again. He frowned and questioned. “You want to return to Sapphire City? Didn’t you just resign? Don’t cause any trouble for

Looking at the slightly irritated Frank, Rose continued to stay calm while holding onto the car window with her hand. “What are you thinking” Since I’m back. I won’t return to Sapphire City In half a month. Ava will be competing. A few of us plan to give Ava a surprise. You hurt Ava. Ineed to provide her with moral support and also see her blind date”

Rose was not in a hurry either. She slowly turned to look at her brother’s expression He had turned somber and was pretending not to like Ava Very well Frank Keep on the pretense

Rose continued chading her brother Tthink Hackett and Trevon will make the trip. After all, Hackett just proposed to Sherri today Ill be hard for him to be away from Sherri for a long time.
