The night view of Manhattan flashes by the window as I've been spending the last five minutes running through some plan in my head, trying to get myself out of this very much uncomfortable situation James decided to pull me back into, Shit- that's twice now I mutter to no one but myself as I quickly run my head around the plan before he starts to noticing that I've been leading him to anywhere but getting his ring back, which happened to be inside my bedside and I'm definitely not planning to actually return his ring, at the very least is not when he would know where I live, hence why I told him to just drive to Midtown East almosy three minutes ago but time is ticking and he drives the beamer almost above the road's limit.
" Midtown East's up ahead," James starts, taking my focus back into the car before I roll my eyes over him and let out a subtle breath," Take a turn on Madison Ave," I nod slightly, not a single joy in my voice as I look back over the window, holding my clutch more relaxed now I've come up with a plan," Just tell me where we're heading," James groans under his breath, jaw clenched as he look straight ahead before I let out slight grin, amuse with the view in front of me for once," And where's exactly the fun in that?" I say teasingly before I look away.
James chuckles under his breath taking me by surprise, I shot a look over him in the same time he catches my eyes," You look unease," James says before he looks away, like he was making sure I'd be the one seeing him looking away. " Trust me this isn't pleasure," I look over the window as I watch each road we passed," What do you think I'm enjoying this?" James asks just in time I catch his eyes on me," I really don't care what you're thinking right now," I let out a sigh as I shift on my seat and look away, hoping Yelena would get my text by now. " Relax," James chuckles and shakes his head slightly before I shot a look over him," I wonder what your wife would say when she notice you've been missing from the party," I let my words out bitterly for my amusement, for once he pull the corner of his mouth as he form a grin on his face but I notice how his knuckles turning red as he steer the wheel and make a turn really say a different thing, James shakes his head slightly before he look over the rear mirror," What do you care," He mutter in whisper but with the silence around us I can hear him clearly, " Oh I couldn't careless if you didn't dragged me along into this." I hiss quickly, "You stole my ring," James says shortly before I cut him off with the most fake laugh I could let out," Let me get this straight, all I took were just the things we both agreed upon, how should I know about the damn right inside your pocket?" I let my irritation out before I look away from him, " Not to mention how you tricked me into thinking you were alone, I mean let's be clear I would never left that venue with you if I saw you wore your wedding ring," I mutter under my breath without a second thought just before James laugh taking me by surprise, " Please tell me you don't have some kind of code or something," He chuckles when I steal a glance at him by the corner of my eyes, " What is it? never pulled a job on a married target?" James continue but I ignore his questions completely, " Aren't you Prince Charming," I scoff dryly, " How did you do it? I mean seriously you seems so casual taking another woman's arm for a dance while your wife was in the same venue," I turn around and for once facing him completely, his jaw clenched before he looks over the window," So she did knew about it," I ask a rhetorical questions but his silence confirms my curiosity," You must be doing it so often that she seems couldn't careless anymore," I say using his tones as I turn my head to watch his expression before his eyes darken as he looks at me,
