"Aurelia, you haven't been home in a long time. Why don't you come by today?" Balthazar Shaw's voice came through the phone. He paused and added, "Don't bring Mason Nightshade, your father wants to talk to you alone."
Talk alone?
Balthazar Shaw was considerate of her feelings and didn't say much, but that didn't mean she didn't understand.
Aurelia's eyes flashed, "Okay, I'll come over later."
Aurelia went upstairs to change clothes, left the house, looked at the rows of cars in the garage, pondered for a moment, and chose a new, expensive yet understated cobalt blue sports car to drive out.
Driving all the way to the Shaw residence, Jovana Shaw ran out, her eyes turning red with jealousy when she saw the car Aurelia was driving.
She had seen this car at last week's auto show. Although she liked it, her allowance couldn't possibly buy it. When she discussed it with her father, he said she was still a student and that such a car wasn't suitable for her, so she had to give up.
