I agreed without hesitation. The manager was stunned and felt that I had become a completely different person.

After returning for a few days, I unexpectedly saw Stella downstairs of the company.

"I happen to be here to deal with something."

I walked around to the driver's seat and saw David sitting inside.

He opened the car window and smiled at me, saying, "Stephan, long time no see.

"Stella and I just happened to finish our swimming lesson here, so she gave me a ride back. Do you mind?"

I smiled and replied, "I don't mind."

Then I sat in the back seat.

Stella realized something was wrong only after she sat in the passenger seat. It seemed as if they were a couple and I was a colleague who was just hitching a ride.

She turned around, hesitating to explain.

"Our company is going to hold a swimming competition. David is a good driver, so I feel safe with him driving."

I nodded lightly without saying a word.

David was very familiar with this car and it was not his first time driving it.

Stella sat stiffly in the passenger seat, glancing constantly at the rearview mirror, trying to know what I was thinking from my reflection in the mirror, but unfortunately, she could tell nothing.

She must be very surprised by my reaction at this moment. This was my first car and I had a unique possessiveness towards it. Most people would not lend their cars to others, let alone let others drive them.

Although I gave the car to Stella, I always sat in the driving seat, no matter how.

I once said to Stella proudly, "Only by sitting in the driver seat can one be considered the owner of the car, and the one sitting in the passenger seat must be my wife."

Stella despised me and said, "It's just a driver's seat. It doesn't matter where you sit."

But I just wanted to see her when driving.

David was driving and chatting with Stella as if no one was around. They were talking about their company's matters and I couldn't get involved at all.

I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

David called my name and said, "Stephan, I want to treat you and Stella to a meal this weekend. Thank you for your help during this period."

"Help?"

I asked in confusion, I wanted to strangle David to death, how could I help him?

"I asked Stella to accompany me back to my hometown last weekend. My family was urging me to get married, so I brought Stella back home to pretend to be my girlfriend."

I was confused.

What the hell?
