Since the small commodity market was on the way back to their house, Joe said to Zachary, “Why don’t you come with me? I’ll give you a ride to the commodity market.”
Zachary really did not expect someone like Joe to offer him a ride. Therefore, he was extremely excited and he quickly packed up as he thanked Joe. “Mr. Smith, thank you for being so generous and kind. Thank you, thank you.”
Joe waved his hand before he said, “Okay, stop your nonsense and just get into the car already!”
…
As soon as they left Antique Street, the sky turned gloomy and after a short while, there was a thunderstorm as heavy rain fell from the sky.
It had been raining recently and the urban area would always be flooded because of the heavy downpour.
The rain was very heavy at this time and the traffic radio station also reminded all the car owners to avoid several main roads that had already been closed due to floods from serious water accumulation.
Therefore, Joe could only choose to use a detour from the outskirts of the city.
Zachary was very anxious and excited as he sat in the back seat of the car. He secretly took a picture of Joe’s side profile while he was driving before posting the picture on his social media profile with the caption, “I would never have imagined that I’d ever be fortunate enough to ride in Mr. Smith’s car.”
A lot of people began leaving comments below his post! Most of them were asking Zachary not to forget them now that he was actually in touch with someone like Joe.
Zachary felt very proud of himself at this time.
Joe was not driving fast and when he passed a secluded street, he suddenly saw a car that was parked on the side of the road.
The car was an old black Mercedes-Benz and it was parked crookedly on the side of the road. A woman walked out of the car in a hurry at this time.
When Joe saw that both the front tyres of the Mercedes-Benz were already flat, he assumed that this was the reason the woman had stopped the car.
Joe did not want to be nosy and he planned to continue driving. However, at this time, Claire looked out the window and she saw the woman who had just walked out of the Mercedes-Benz. She was stunned for a moment before she exclaimed, “Joe! Stop the car! I think it’s Loreen’s car!”
Joe stopped the car immediately.
Claire pushed the car open before she hurried out of the car with an umbrella in hand.
Joe rushed after Claire as soon as he saw her getting out of the car.
“What happened, Loreen?”
Claire asked as soon as she rushed over to Loreen.
“Claire? What are you doing here?” Loreen asked as soon as she saw Claire. She was trembling because she was drenched from the heavy rain.
She looked extremely surprised and embarrassed, as though she did not want her best friend to see her in such an awkward manner.
Claire held the umbrella over Loreen’s head and she quickly replied, “I happened to pass by this road with Joe when I saw you by the side of the road. What happened to you?”
Loreen quickly replied with an annoyed expression on her face, “Let’s not talk about it anymore! My company sent me out on an errand today and they gave me a car to do so. That’s the reason why I drove out to meet the customer in this car today. However, even before I could meet up with the customer, I realized that I had punctured my car tyres! Moreover, it wasn’t only one tyre that was punctured, but two! I’m so annoyed right now!”
Joe felt a little puzzled at this time.
It was normal to experience a flat tyre when driving.
However, under any normal circumstances, a flat tyre would only occur when sharp objects such as a nail or iron wires accidentally pierce the tyre. Therefore, generally only one of the tyres would be punctured.
