344 He Saved Me 2 (1/2)
-----FLASHBACK (continuation) ----
Vince reversed his car and stopped it directly in front of her. As he got off the car, his frustration from what the girl just did surfaced and asked,
”What do you think you're doing jumping out of the car like that?!”
Then the girl fell on the street on her knees and started crying.
”You're going to sell me to another mafia groups as well. They'll take advantage of me and kill me if I'm deemed useless.” The girl voiced out her thoughts while crying clearly.
Vince wiped her tears to calm her down and said,
”I'm not going to sell you out. I already have a lot of money.”
”Then why do we need to go to another city for clothes and food?”
”One of my mom's dress shops is located there. I also thought you would be more comfortable to have meals in a restaurant than in our base.” Vince explained his plans and intentions clearly.
”How will I know that you��re not lying?”
Vince hands out a pocket knife to her and said,
”I'll give it to you. I know you're quite skilled on this. So stab me at any time you'll fill that I'm about to do something bad against you.”
”Are you sure about that? I might…
”You won't be able to kill me. I'll be able to deflect and dodge it. In that way, I'll have an idea that I'm crossing a line.”
The girl finally wiped her tears and accepted Vince's knife and looked at his eyes as if trying to gauge his intentions.
”Don't blame me if I hurt you in the process.” The girl admitted the possibility.
”I won't. But it would be better if I at least know your name, so instead of touching you, I could call you by name.” Vince shows his smile again.
”Clara. You can call me Clara.”
”Is that you're real name?” Vince asked her and received a nod as an answer.
”Let's get inside the car now and head to the next city.” Vince opened the door for her but the latter stopped him from moving.
”I told you my name. You said, give and take… I told you my name so could you at least answer why that man called you Primo yet you said your name's Vince.”
”Vince is my real name. Primo is the name they call me as the mafia group leader.” Clara felt shock from what she just learned.
”Now can we get inside the car? It'll be late for lunch soon.”
”Hmm…”
The trip to the next city was silent as Clara started to calm down and observed Vince as he drove the car. In just a few minutes, they have arrived in a chic boutique.
