CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

549 Words
EDITH FINCH'S POV I walked outside, and my driver was already waiting for me. The moment he saw me, he stepped forward and opened the car door. "Thank you." I entered the car, and he closed the door behind me before getting into the driver's seat. A few seconds later, we drove off. My first stop was the biggest luxury car company in New York. I had already decided that I wanted something elegant and powerful, so I was looking forward to seeing what they had available. When we arrived, my driver pulled up in front of the showroom. I stepped out of the car and walked inside. The place was huge. Luxury cars were displayed everywhere, each one looking more expensive than the last. I was looking around when suddenly, I noticed someone familiar. I stopped walking. "Where have I seen that face before?" I stared at her for a few seconds. Then it hit me. "Oh." I remembered. I had seen her at the Sterling Medical anniversary celebration. She was the woman who had been talking to Maxwell. My eyes narrowed slightly. "Well, well..." What was she doing here? I watched her from a distance, curious about what had brought her to the same car dealership. AMELIA'S POV I finally arrived at the car company. My heart was practically dancing with excitement. I couldn't believe I was actually here. I had saved for so long, and now I was finally going to buy my own car. I approached one of the salespeople. "Good morning," I greeted him. "Good morning, ma'am. How can I help you?" "I'm looking for a car. Something beautiful, comfortable, and reliable." He smiled. "Of course. We have several options that might interest you." He started showing me around the showroom. I followed him while looking at the different cars. "Wow," I whispered. Everything looked so beautiful. I was so distracted by the cars that I completely forgot to watch where I was going. Suddenly— BAM! "Ouch!" I had walked straight into something. Or rather, someone. I looked up. It wasn't a wall. It was a person! "Oh my God!" I stumbled backward, losing my balance. I was about to hit the floor when a strong pair of arms quickly caught me. I froze. For a moment, I couldn't move. I slowly looked up at the person who had caught me. Our eyes met. My heart skipped a beat. "Oh..." I didn't know what to say. The stranger was staring down at me. And judging from the look on his face, he was just as surprised as I was. "I'm so sorry," I quickly said. He didn't let go of me immediately. Instead, he looked at me carefully before finally helping me regain my balance. "Are you okay?" he asked. I nodded quickly. "Yes. I'm fine." I glanced at the spot where I had bumped into him. Then I looked at him again. "Although I'm starting to think I should stop walking altogether." The salesperson covered a laugh. I gave him an embarrassed look. This was supposed to be my exciting car-buying day. How had I already managed to embarrass myself? Little did I know that my clumsiness had just brought me face-to-face with someone who would become very important in my life.
