Lina's POV
The weekend arrived quickly. Mandy and I had plans to visit Leo's place that afternoon.
Leo lived outside the Second Ring Road—about an hour's drive away.
Mandy was hitching a ride with me.
The moment she slid into the passenger seat, I watched realization dawn across her face.
"I've seen plenty of high-end autonomous vehicles," she said, running her fingers along the dashboard. "But this? The response time is faster than a human driver. And the protection system—this has to be military-grade. Top tier."
I kept my eyes on the road. "Is it? I don't really know much about cars."
"Who gave you this?" Her tone shifted, becoming pointed.
"Why assume someone gave it to me? Maybe I bought it."
"Because cars like this aren't for sale. They're one-of-a-kind."
