“My name is Arthur Gardner,” Arthur said slowly, turning to Claudina, who seemed to be silently staring at him.

"Arthur Gardner?" Claudina muttered softly. She was vaguely familiar with the name as if it was tugging at the edges of her memory. Why did it sound so familiar, and why did it seem to be connected to something else?

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Gardner," said Claudina. "But please, just call me Claudina." She smiled gratefully. "I can't thank you enough for all that you've done."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Claudina," replied Arthur, his tone warm and affable.

Arthur smiled at Claudina's words. He was still driving on city streets at the speed limit, keeping in line with the other cars. He kept checking the rearview mirror, trying to make sure no one was following him.

After a few glances, Arthur felt secure enough and hoped that the situation would be resolved quickly. "Let's just hope this matter is over quickly," he said.

    "Claudina," Arthur began, his voice calm as he accelerated the car. He seemed to be able to focus instantly, his eyes rapidly taking in the positions of the other cars. His only experience with driving had been the past few days, yet he managed to keep any panic at bay. "Are you used to cars going this fast?" Claudina shook her head. “Even though I own a sports car, I rarely use it and I'm not very confident driving it. I usually rely on a private driver for transportation, it's the policy of a company like mine.” She answered slowly, turning to Arthur. "However, you need not worry about me," she said reassuringly. "Your safety is more important. Do whatever you want; you can drive this car as fast as you want and I don't mind one bit. I trust you completely," she added, her voice wavering slightly as she tried to hide her face and gripped the edge of the chair back tightly.

Are you kidding me?" the man driving the BMW Z29, a large black car, shouted in response to Arthur's offer. Astonished, he watched as Arthur quickly sped up and overtook him, eventually pulling over ahead of him.Arthur pulled over to the emergency road section, and he and Claudina quickly got out of the car, still tightly holding hands. The man in the BMW also stepped out with ease."What, Claudina? Wait?" the man said, appearing to be confused at the sight of Claudina."I'll pay you five times as much for this car!" Arthu

Mr. Gardner just requested that I deliver some women's sleepwear to his room!""Do you mean to tell me that those clothes are for Ms. Edna?

So, does that mean Mr. Gardner is taking someone else? Have you seen the girl?""Do you think I have the nerve?" she asked. "I only peeked in for a moment before hurrying away. I'm so curious to know who Mr. Gardner will be spending the night with; he's very attractive and I'm sure he attracts a lot of admirers.""Hey, do you think it's possible that Mr. Gardner is having a threesome with Ms. Edna and another girl?" the other asked, an expression of disbelief on their face.

    The bedroom door to the apartment, which wasn't too large nor overly luxurious, creaked open. A figure dressed in a black suit slowly stepped through the doorway, giving the impression of a man upon first sight. He removed the mask that obscured his face, then his black coat followed. He carelessly tossed it into a corner of the room, revealing that he was a girl as her back-length black hair cascaded down. She was Alicia Morel, a 19-year-old girl who, that night, felt an intoxicating mixture of tension, amazement, fear, and joy. "Yes!!!!" she shouted in exaltation. With nothing more than her panties and bra covering her petite frame, which stood only 165 cm (5.4 ft) tall, she ran to the computer and swiftly transferred the video she had managed to record that night. Alicia looked truly remarkable for someone her age. Despite her lack of an impressive bust or a fully-developed body, her physique was in remarkable shape, suggesting that she was a regular at the gym. Alicia, who

Besides, he was accustomed to dealing with people like that."I don't have much time," Arthur said quietly, his expression remaining tranquil and unruffled despite the presence of the five people. "So, I hope you all will be able to leave shortly."The five men in front of Arthur noticed him at the gadget store earlier, where he had purchased a few items totaling tens of thousands of dollars, and now he was walking alone.
