The person is now on a motorcycle tailing the taxi.As the motorcycle driver tailed the taxi ,The woman was obliviously checking her phone's emails and messages.''Where to? '' The Grab driver asked, glancing at the woman through the rearview mirror. The woman quickly looked up from her phone and gave the driver a pissed look."Blimey, did you not get the memo? Destination's booked, innit?"'' She snapped with her British accent. The driver nodded and continued on the route, aware of the motorcycle following closely behind.''Oh, I'm sorry. I must have missed that.'' The driver said with a hint of irritation in her husky but sexy voice, which made the beautiful passenger's heart skip a beat.She's a woman? She thought to herself."Wait up, I could've sworn I booked a James, not...?".''

''''Oops, I am sorry, Brat; I had to shake off a tail.'' Said the driver, chuckling in her husky voices.The passenger raised a brow. '' A tail? What tail? ''The driver didn't answer and continued to drive fast, looking at their rearview. Wacthing the motorcycle that's tailing them .''Aaah, "This isn't funny,! Stop the car! Someone help! I'm being abducted!"' The passenger is now holding tight to not stumble again and screaming in fear.She tried to open the window. to call for help, but it was locked.The driver laughs, '' Hey, brat !! You shut up!!

"Y—yes. Who are you? You're not James."''James is absent for the day.'' The stunning answered with sarcasm.The driver smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Let's just say I'm a friend. "''Who are you? And what do want from me?'' Miss Anderson's gaze narrowed as she tried to decipher the mysterious woman's true intentions.

"I'm not feisty; I'm furious!"The driver leaned in, her voice low. "Well, furious suits you."Miss Anderson's cheeks flushed as their eyes met. She felt an unexpected jolt of attraction.The driver grinned. "Can't handle a little flirting, Miss Anderson?"Miss Anderson snapped out of her shock and regained her composure.Miss Anderson rolled her eyes. "I can handle it just fine. But answer my question."The driver leaned back, her expression serious. "'Let's get you home safe first, Brat. Do you trust me?"Miss Anderson's voice dripped skepticism. "Trust you? You're 'aving a laugh, aren't you?"The driver's emerald eyes locked onto hers. "Because, despite our rocky start, I think we make a good team, Miss Anderson."Miss Anderson's heart skipped a beat. There was something mysterious and alluring about this driver. But she wouldn't let her guard down."You're mental, aren't you? Nearly writing us off, and now you're on about being a good team?" Miss Anderson shouted in irritation.The driver laughed, her voice husky. "Oh, don't be dramatic, darling. It was just a tiny detour."'Well, we did make it out alive, didn't we? Trust me, you're in good hands."Miss Anderson fumed. "I'm calling the police, you numpty! You're for it!"The driver chuckled, waving Miss Anderson's phone. "Good luck with that, darling. This phone's gone AWOL."Miss Anderson couldn't help but feel irrated.''Urgh!! You're driving me crazy''"Almost there, Miss Anderson. Buckle up."Miss Anderson glared, still fuming. "I demand to know where we're going."The driver smiled mischievously. "Patience, darling. You'll see."As they turned onto a quiet street, Miss Anderson recognized her neighborhood. "Stop the car!" she exclaimed, relieved.The driver obliged, and Miss Anderson leapt out, grabbing her bag.The driver chuckled, her eyes glinting. " Stay safe."Miss Anderson watched as the taxi drove away, feeling both relieved and intrigued.She sighed, ''What a day .'' She muttered, and unlocked her door.As she entered her flat, she realized her phone was still missing."Damn!"
