NovelEnglishBlair bit her lower lip. What could she say now, except reply in affirmative? She had wanted to throw up a tantrum in front of him, but it hadn’t gone as she expected. She sat up straight in the passenger seat, as if conceding to him. But she still didn’t want to give up and said stubbornly, “You saved my Life. But I won’t behave humbly in front of you just because you’re my savior.”
As he started the car, he replied coldly, “Yes, I know. It was my job to save you. You don’t need to thank me for that.”
“Huh? So in your eyes, it’s your job and duty to save people, right? So does that mean everyone you save means the sto you?” When she was saying the first sentence, she felt her heart aching for Wesley. He had always made saving and helping people his belief and life’s mission.
She recalled that he had told her many times he was born to serve the country and its people.

Wesley was concentrating on driving the car and didn’t answer; she didn’t press him. After a while, he finally seemed to cto a decision and told her, “Good friends.”
“Good friends? Screw you! What kind of good friends will kiss each other so passionately? Pressing me up against a car!’
Blair was nearly angered to death by this idiot and his idiotic response.
Oblivious to their problems, the car sped smoothly along the city road.
Blair closed her eyes and leaned back against the seat. She decided against speaking to him before they arrived at the apartment. The longer they were on the road, the slower would be his responses because his mind would be on the car.
