In the morning when he went out, he had actually anticipated that he might get into an accident with thestate he was in. As expected, it really happened.
Pale in fright, Isabelle tightly clung onto John’s arm whereas John leaned against his seat and saidcalmly, “It’s nothing serious.”
After a while, Isabelle looked up and stared at John. Then, she asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
When John unbuckled his seatbelt, Isabelle let him go too. At that moment, the driver of the car in fronthad got out of the car. Therefore, John went over as well. Needless to say, he had to bear fullresponsibility for this accident. Initially, the driver looked angry but he saw that John’s car cost far morethan his, and all his curses stuck to his throat. It was only after a while that he said, “It must cost a lotfor the repairs.”
John didn’t mind about the cost. “I’ll call the insurance company.” Fortunately, it was his off day so hehad quite some time on his hands. Accidents that didn’t involve any conflict in the responsibilities wereextremely easy to settle. They didn’t even need the traffic police to come over.
At this moment, John called the insurance company. However, the accident happened at a junction andtraffic began to build up. After ending the call, John pondered for a second before walking to the cardoor. Then, he said to Isabelle, who was inside the car, “I need to settle things here and it’ll take awhile. Why don’t you make a move first?” novelbin
Isabelle had finally calmed down so she opened the door and got out of the car. “I’ll stay here too.Anyway, I’m not in a rush. If I leave now, I’ll feel bad.”
Actually, she didn’t need to feel bad because she had nothing to do with this accident. Despite thinkingthat, John didn’t say it out loud. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Then, hestood at the side while looking at the distorted front of his car, slowly puffing the cigarette. After that, hesent a message to Zack, asking him to drive over to give him a lift.
It wasn’t long before the insurance company arrived. They took pictures of the accident for evidenceand upon negotiation, the driver drove his car away to repair and evaluate the damages.
In fact, John’s car was still functionable but it didn’t look like it was in a good condition. Therefore, hecalled a tow truck to tow his car to be repaired. Everything was settled relatively quickly and Zack andthe tow truck arrived at almost the same time. Spotting John’s car immediately, Zack was shocked andquickly ran toward John. “What happened? How did you get into an accident?”
John pinched his brows while saying, “Just send us back first.” After that, he got into Zack’s car.Isabelle followed him as well after a nod at Zack.
Honestly, Zack was surprised to see Isabelle. According to John’s itinerary in his possession, Johnshould have no plans for a business event today. Therefore, it was confusing that John and Isabellewere together. However, Zack couldn’t ask that since Isabelle was here.
On the way back, he first drove Isabelle home. Then, he sent John back. The house door was shut,meaning that Sophia wasn’t home. John then went inside the house with Zack right behind him. Hewent straight to the fridge and took out a bottle of water, finishing it in a gulp.
Meanwhile, Zack stood in the living room and asked, “Why were you together with Isabelle? Do youhave any business events today?”
John flattened the emptied water bottle and threw it into the trash can. “No.”
Zack raised his eyebrows but John didn’t say anything else and just turned to go upstairs. Whilewalking up the stairs, John said, “When you leave, please shut the door for me.” He obviously didn’twant to talk about it.
It was only after a while did Zack leave. Naturally, he thought that what had happened today was just aminor collision and didn’t even cause any casualties. Therefore, it shouldn’t lead to any seriousconsequences.
