She slammed it shut and quickly locked it, not wasting a second. Everett, still fuming, retorted, "You calla dog, but you're the real one here!" Selena, uninterested in engaging, simply directed the driver, "Let's go." Holt darted in through the other side, and in no time, the car sped off, leaving a cloud of dust behind. Meanwhile, the woman who had witnessed the whole scene strutted over in her high heels, clearly entertained.
She chuckled at the sight of Everett's flustered face. "I've never seen you make so many faces at once! Quite the show." Everett shot her a sideways glance, his displeasure evident.
She continued teasing, "Aren't you going to chase after her?" Ignoring her, Everett turned and walked toward his car, making it clear he wasn't going to.
