Joyce Lopez drove slowly, "Miss Carolline, let me take you straight to your destination."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Carolline was surprised. She thought Joyce would drop her off at a place where she could catch a taxi.
"No trouble at all. I have something to discuss with you." Joyce smiled, treating Carolline with the attitude of handling a public relations crisis.
"Well, Miss Lopez, feel free to say whatever you want." Carolline faced her with a smile. She had intentionally proposed to ride in Joyce's car to clarify certain things between them, as she didn't want to experience another Matilda Ferguson situation.
It didn't matter when she was alone, but now she had a precious baby inside her and had to prioritize her and the baby's safety over everything else. She wouldn't tolerate anyone hurting her again.
From now on, she would learn self-protection. If Joyce was a threat, she would find her own way to eliminate it for herself and her child.
