Although Hannah’s voice was quiet, Bryson, who was standing across the car, heard every word.


    After the taxi drove off, Bryson approached Hannah and questioned, “Do you think I’m insane?”


    “Isn’t it obvious?” Hannah retorted, raising her head in defiance.


    She extended her hand towards Bryson and said, “You owe me $50 because of your antics.


    Time to pay up.


    ”


    Bryson looked down at her outstretched palm and remarked, “Don’t you think it’s a bit harsh to demand money from a man you just called insane?”


    “Haha, since when have I been known for my empathy?” she scoffed.


    She was about to lower her hand when Bryson grasped it, saying, “Wait a minute…”


    Bryson stepped closer and said once more, “Where are you headed? I’ll give you a lift.


    ”


    “I told you, I don’t need a lift,” she answered.


    But before she could finish, Bryson had already swung open the passenger door and turned to her.


    “If you’re set on taking a taxi, I’ll make sure you do.


    I’ve got all day.


    ”


    Faced with his stubbornness, she finally conceded.


    “Fine, I won’t argue with someone who’s lost their senses.


    ”


    Hannah then climbed into the car, and Bryson shed a grin at her before shutting the door behind her.


    Once inside, he started the engine and asked, “Where to?”


    “Halliday University,” she responded tersely, turning away to avoid further eye contact.


    Thereafter, Bryson drove on in silence, focusing on the road.

    However, the silence in the car only heightened Hannah’s difort.


    Feeling uneasy about Bryson’s intentions, she turned to gaze out the window, deliberately ignoring him.


    Soon, they arrived at Halliday University.


    Once the car stopped, she unfastened her seatbelt, stepped out, and walked away without looking back.


    Bryson unexpectedly got out of the car.


    Surprised, Hannah watched him.


    “Thank you, Mr.


    Mitchell, for the ride.


    You can leave now,” she said firmly.


    Instead of responding to her statement, he looked towards the school gate and replied, “I haven’t been here for a long time.


    I’ll walk in with you.


    ”


    Hannah was taken aback by his response.


    “We are not going in together, Mr.


    Mitchell.


    If you want to visit Halliday University, you should feel free to do it, but remember to register at the gate.

    Just as Hannah was about to walk away, someone stopped her.
