The black Rolls Royce stood in front of the hospital, its polished surface reflecting the dim glow of the streetlights.
The Butler, with his usual practiced elegance, gave a low bow before opening the rear door.
Lucian stepped inside without a word, settling into the back seat as the Butler gently closed the door behind him.
He moved toward the driver's seat, ready to depart when he noticed the purple-haired man still standing outside, frozen in place.
The man's expression screamed hesitation.
Should he run? Should he stay?
His gut told him to leave.
But before he could act
Click.
The car door swung open from the inside.
Lucian's voice followed.
"Come in."
Alex hesitated.
His body tensed.
This was not a good idea.
His survival instincts kicked in, screaming at him to reject the offer.
"Uhh, how about you go ahead, dude? Uhh, sir I have my own car, I'll just drive home"
Before he could finish, a hand shot out.
Lucian grabbed his arm and yanked him in.
