The unfamiliar environment suddenly caught my attention. It suddenly got to me, the cab driver had passed my destination.
I blinked in horror.
"Oh no!! I think you have passed my location, sir, Can you stop?"
Seconds passed, and the car kept moving, I panicked, thinking of what to do.
I drew the cab driver by the neck, he jerked immediately, not expecting such an action, he tried to be steady in the car and murmured a few words under his breath.
The car seemed to lose control, and for a second I thought I was going to die, I didn't bid my parents farewell properly. I was in a panic.
The car made a screeching sound and seemed to burst into something and stopped.
For a moment, I thought I had died or probably fainted, but the cab driver proved me wrong.
"What a nice way to destroy my life miss!
I hope you can pay for damages."
I retrieved my hands from my face and looked at him, his gaze was ready to kill, such a handsome young man for a cab driver.
"Can't you speak?" He retorted even more harshly.
I got slightly irritated, who was he to speak to me in such a manner
"Oh please shut up" I yelled back.
"Did your ears go on vacation when I said you have passed my location?."
"Were you too dumb to speak up when we got there?."
I was about to retort when the driver's door opened, A tall young man in a suit dragged out the cab driver and the next thing were two slaps at once, followed by some beatings.
I didn't know when I left the cab and tried to pull the driver away from the beating.
"Can you stop? What has he done?
The man in the suit looked at the car just in front of the cab, I followed his gaze, and the cab merely hit the back of his car with a less visible scratch.
I couldn't believe it!
"Please, we're sorry, it's all my fault, let go of him please." I realized what my little action had cost the driver.
The front of his car was a little out of place.
Dad was yet to find his feet, I had already added a new work to his list.
What a nice day!
"I think you don't understand the gravity of your situation, you will know soon" A very handsome man wearing black sunglasses and a white suit, his haircut was trimmed perfectly, making him look adorable, came out of the bashed car and smirked wickedly at the driver's direction as he continued.
"By the time I'm done dealing with you, you won't ply the road for weeks."
"Damian Sinclair!!"
I whispered silently in shock, a billionaire of one of the most popular companies in Ontario, he looked quite the man for a billionaire but his attitude had just made a mess of him in my head.
I frowned.
The cab driver was already on his knees begging him despite the beatings, I couldn't bear to watch.
"What do you want to do sir?" I questioned.
He gave me a demeaning look.
" I don't have time for riff-raffs."
I fumed, I took out my phone and pressed some buttons. I tried to calm down and try again
"Please sir, I'm very sorry, it was all my fault, please forgive him, I made him hit your car, your car barely has a scratch, please let him go, stop your guard from beating him." I pleaded, looking at him like a lost puppy.
"Do you think you can manipulate me with slutty attitude? No one messes with me or my properties, even if I sell your whole family, it's not up to my net worth."
I guess I was done playing nice.
"You think so? Because you're rich means that you could do as you please?" I was close to yelling.
"By the time the police arrive, you will be able to explain better" he replied coldly.
I didn't even look scared at all, I fired him back immediately.
"And by the time they arrive, your voice and good pictures must have gone viral too, people will know how sweet you can be," I smirked.
"You…" Damian was already gritting his teeth at me and glared at me.
Everyone was amazed.
While we were talking, I recorded our conversation and pretended like I wasn't seeing my phone screen well and took pictures.
Just in time, the cops arrived, he happened to be a friend of my dad's who was a lover of justice and fair play no matter the status of anyone.
"What's going on here"
I turned to the cops looking aggrieved, the sweet girl in me was gone, and I quickly took up the conversation.
"I made a mistake by distracting the driver, he merely hit his car, just look at it" I pointed to Damian's car.
"Is it worth the trouble? Just now he was threatening to deal with me, he even beat up the driver despite my pleas" I pointed at the driver with tears flowing in my eyes.
"Is this how generous Mr Damian could be? See the way he's looking, he could tear me pieces if you leave here."
Damian, who was exploding in anger couldn't help but try to play cool else he was going viral any moment because everyone believed me due to my acting.
Damian cleared his throat and tried to sound fine.
"No need for anything sir, I just called you to be sure, they're not playing tricks on my car, it's obvious everything is fine" he stuttered.
The cops quickly left after scrutinizing everything, the cab driver thanked me and told me to forget about his money, I wish I could pay for the damages I caused him. Damian tried to talk to me, but I left without giving him a second glance.
Sandy called again, I sighed..oh dear!! Not again.
I've had enough today.
I reached out for my phone.
"Hello" I replied reluctantly
"What!!!" I gasped.
