Chapter 39

Emma's POV

Any woman would probably be unable to resist such a handsome face.

The old me would have fallen for it...

But now, I'm clear-headed, and my fist tightened.

I was just about to push him away when an unusual sound in the quiet car caught my attention.

"Don't move!"

Hector opened his eyes, his deep gaze clearly showing his reluctance, "Rejecting me?"

"Stop it!"

"There's something wrong with your car!"

Hector's eyes became alert, and he returned to his serious and solemn demeanor.

"Didn't you hear that? There's a dripping sound..."

Hector frowned, held his breath, and listened carefully.

Indeed, there was a "drip, drip, drip" sound coming from under the driver's seat.

I swallowed hard, not even daring to breathe, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a timed bomb in your car!"

"What did you say?"
