Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Your Skills are a bit Intermittently Unstable

So, guess what? Faris actually showed up at the driving school today.

Pretty sure this was the first time Ethan's seen him here.

They were standing side by side, lips moving like they were having a chat.

Way different from that day Faris held me hostage to make Ethan sign that shady deal. They seemed pretty chill now.

I was so distracted, I kept messing up.

The car either jerked forward or stopped dead. I was so freaked out, I couldn't tell the gas pedal from the brake. "Stop."

At Michael's command, I slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped in the middle of the lot. I braced myself for a lecture and looked guiltily at Michael, who was sitting next to me.

His hand was gripping the handle tightly, and his face was twitching.

"Emily, your driving skills are a bit... unpredictable."

Michael didn't lose his cool, but he was close.

I quickly apologized, "Sorry. Didn't get enough sleep last night, so I'm kinda off today."

Michael glanced out the window. By now, Ethan and Faris had stopped talking and were looking our way, probably amused by my terrible driving.

Faris had his hands behind his back and was grinning.

"Since you didn't rest well, let's call it a day. Go home, get some rest, and come back tomorrow. Driving's not something to mess around with," Michael said seriously.

I thanked him a bunch, got out of the car, and walked over to them.

"Emily, you were off your game today!" Faris said lazily with a smirk.

He acted like we were buddies, but I knew he was just messing with me.

I glared at him and ignored him.

Ethan stubbed out his cigarette with his shoe and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Weren't you driving fine before? What's got you so nervous today?"

I said, "Didn't get enough sleep last night. Michael said we should stop for today and come back tomorrow."

Ethan nodded. "Alright."

I didn't want to stick around; Faris made me uneasy whenever he talked. As I got into the car, Faris stood there watching us. He waved when he saw me look back. The car sped off, and Ethan and I didn't talk about his chat with Faris.

He mentioned there was some work at the company, and since I had nothing else to do, I tagged along.

On the way, his phone rang.

Ethan pressed the car's hands-free button.

"Ethan, come to the bar tonight." Oliver's voice came through.

"Why? Is there a show?" Ethan asked calmly.
