Sarah already felt sick to her stomach, she felt uneasy before she took this job, but the scene just now made things even worse. She confirmed her suspicions about Leah's problems being associated with her workplace it was the only life she got. How on earth was Sarah supposed to work in this kind of environment? And that Stephanie character, what did she mean by saying what she said to her? could it be that__
" Hey, " Tyler called.
Sarah stared at him from outside the car, " What are you doing here? "
Tyler arched a brow as he situated his hand on his chin, pretending to think, " Um let's see, waiting for you? "
Sarah felt funny, " You waited for me? "
Tyler nodded, " I drove you here, it wouldn't be gentlemanly if I left you behind. "
Sarah smiled, " You didn't have to__
" Get in Sarah. "
Sarah obeyed.
Tyler threw several glances at Sarah, he knew the little drama Stephanie caused had gotten to her, why wouldn't it? Her lips slightly open as she stared at nothing, he was drawn to them. He saw how unsteady her eyes were, she appeared to be deep in thoughts.
" What are you thinking about? " He wanted to know.
" Uh? " Sarah was drawn out of her deep thoughts.
Tyler sighed, " Is this about Stephanie? "
" She hates me already. "
" I'll make sure she doesn't give you any problems. "
" No, you already took me to the river, let me drink on my own. " Sarah insisted.
Tyler laughed hard, " Is that like a parable? are you kidding? "
" But you get it, " Sarah blushed.
Tyler nodded, " Yeah, "
" She said if I crossed her I'll end up worse than Leah did, Tyler did she know anything we need? "
Tyler turned over to her, " She said that to you? "
Sarah nodded, " She did, do you think she meant it? "
" I don't know. "
Sarah could tell that Tyler was upset, the way he shook his head occasionally like he couldn't believe Stephanie said that. Sarah wanted to change the topic to ease him down, but the words wouldn't come out. She was focused on him that she didn't notice that he wasn't taking her home until she found herself in a car shop.
Sarah's look suddenly changed as she frantically glanced around.

" What are we doing in a car shop? " She asked.
" Get down and find out. " Tyler replied stepping out of the car.
Sarah was perplexed but she tried to keep a calm face as she followed suit.
A man approached them, he headed straight to Tyler greeted him, and handed a car key to him. Sarah's thoughts were already running wild as she tried to make sense of the situation.
" Relax, " Tyler replied walking over to her.
" I'm relaxed, " Sarah said anxiously nodding her head.
" No, you're not. "
" Why are we here? " Sarah wanted to know.
Tyler smiled as he walked further away, " Look around, what do you think? "
Sarah arched a brow, " Wait__
Tyler made a stop in front of a Lexus NX300 and handed her the keys to it.
Sarah was beyond shocked, her mouth was left open.
" It's your car, Sarah. "
Sarah shook her head, " Tyler, I can't accept this. "
" Why not? " Tyler drew closer to her.
Sarah's heart skipped a beat, she could perceive his cologne, " It's too much. "
Tyler chuckled as he made his usual pretend-thinking face, " Who said so? "
" Stop it, you know what I mean. I know you're trying to make me feel comfortable, but this gift is too much, I can__
" Who said it's a gift? " Tyler licked his lips.
Sarah's eyes followed them as she could hear her stomach rubble, " What? "
" It's not a gift, consider it a loan, you'll pay me when you can. "
Sarah went mute, her eyes fixed on the car.
" Hey, I said it wasn't a gift. " Tyler tried to persuade her, " I don't want you to be catching an early morning bus or a cab... it would be too stres__
" You're trying your very best to make me feel comfortable, I get it. But__
" No buts, " Tyler rested on the car as he tapped it, " I already paid for it. "
" Tyler, it's too much. "
" You're going to pay me back okay? it's just a car. "
Sarah gasped, " Just a car? "
" What if there's traffic? and you run late? what example will you show to your underlings? Remember, you have to set a good example. " Tyler winked.
" Really? you're going to pull a fast one on me? that's sleek though. "
Tyler laughed, " Just take it, will you? "
Sarah couldn't resist his pleading eyes as they beckoned to her, she grabbed the keys from him, " I'll pay you back. "
" Sure. "
