Lola didn't plan to visit the chairman today, but he had called for her. The chairman was already old, and to be fair, she wanted to see him as much as possible, even if it was only once a week. Letting him know she was around, or giving him some proof of life, would surely lessen the burden he carried.
Skipping along the driveway toward the front door of the residence, Lola suddenly halted.

"Huh?" She looked back, only to see a car racing straight toward her.
Her breath hitched as her face paled in an instant, an old memory flashing through her mind. Before she could even think, her body moved on its own. She leapt aside just in time as the car drifted and screeched to a stop.
"What in the…" she trailed off, snapping out of her shock, her wide eyes shifting to the car.
The backseat door opened, and Derek stepped out. Lola's face immediately scrunched up bitterly.
"Are you trying to kill me?" she scoffed, only to be met with his glare.
