All Chapters of Left at the Service Area: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

With New Year's approaching, Derek Caldwell was the blind date my aunt had set me up with. When she heard he had not managed to buy a ticket home, my mother insisted that I give him a ride.The moment Derek got into my car, his eyes darted around the interior. His face wore the smug look of someone who had already decided he was superior."You bought this car on a loan, didn't you? I know how girls like you choose cars. You only care if it looks nice. You never think about value for money."In the future, don't buy such expensive cars."He stunned me right out of the gate.What did the car I bought have to do with him?Still, I did not want him to misunderstand, so I explained."I paid for it in full. I also have no plans to sell it, so I raised the budget a little."I thought that would finally shut him up.Instead, the words "paid in full" set him off like I had stepped on a land mine."See? You women really don't understand anything. Paying in full is even worse!"The mar

I did not expect my stomach to suddenly cramp. My face went pale, and the cold seeped into my whole body."Are you done yet? Why are you taking so long?"Derek kept urging me.After a while, his voice disappeared.Something was wrong.When I came out of the restroom, my car was gone.There was nothing outside but endless white snow.Derek had driven off in my car.I could not help cursing out loud before shrinking back into the restroom from the cold."What kind of person does that?"I hurriedly called Derek. He ignored more than a dozen calls before his voice finally came through."Derek Caldwell! Drive the car back right now. I haven't gotten in!"His voice was full of impatience."Whose fault is it that you were so slow? My time is more valuable than yours. Consider this your punishment."I exploded with rage."Who do you think you are? Punishment? Have some shame. Drive the car back now, or I'm calling the police."Derek sounded like a man who could not understand h

But his words were full of holes, and people were already noticing."What kind of person doesn't even remember how much his own car cost?""He doesn't look like this car belongs to him. He isn't wearing a single designer item. How could he afford a car like that?"At that moment, I walked over to the car."This is not his car at all. He robbed me halfway and drove away in my car."The car's smart system immediately detected my voice."Welcome back, owner.""My God, a robber.""Wow. People steal cars like this now?""I'm dying. He stole the car and still acted so righteous about it?"In an instant, the crowd moved well back from Derek, as if afraid of catching something from him.Derek's face turned bright red.The officer warned him directly."Derek Caldwell, what else do you have to say?"Seeing the police approach, Derek suddenly turned to me."Honey, don't be mad and file a false report. I know this is your car. I shouldn't have left you there alone, but you can't was

Derek had no choice. He could only speak loudly."I drove her car away, so she wants revenge on me."The officer pointed at my car."Whose car is this?"Derek changed his statement completely."It's hers. It must be that she lost the Macallan and gold bars herself. That has nothing to do with me, officer. If you're going to arrest someone, arrest her.""Then why did you say she was your girlfriend?"Derek was nearly crying from panic."No, she is just my blind date.""Then what do you mean by driving away in someone else's car and leaving her at the service area?"At that point, everyone understood what had happened. Derek had lost all face."So it really was robbery? That poor girl. He tried to force the girlfriend label on her too."Derek panicked completely."I didn't rob her. I didn't mean it."He looked at me in terror."Jenna, I didn't mean it. I was just... I was just joking."Yes. It was just a joke. Jenna, I don't want to go to prison."I shook off his hand.

"Why haven't the mother and daughter left yet? Don't tell me they're jealous.""Of course they are. They must be regretting it now."Derek heard it too.He raised his head arrogantly and walked up to me."Well? Did you see that? The StarCreative director is my guy. If you agree to be my girlfriend, your life won't be bad."Tessa Reeves swayed over."Derek, didn't you say I was your girlfriend?"Those two were truly a perfect match.I looked at them in disgust."You two should stay locked together. No one else wants either of you."If I stayed in the same space as them any longer, I would suffocate.I turned to leave just as Martin Blake came out of the restroom.The moment he saw me, he was so startled his glasses fell to the floor.Derek immediately stepped forward to block me."Are you blind? You knocked Director Blake's glasses off. Pick them up for him."Martin waved his hands in fear and quickly picked them up himself."No need..."Derek would not let it go."Jen
