Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

Chapter 29 Queenie enjoyed reading fashion magazines . Not to mention , she was working in customer service and often socialized with many people . Hence , she took out her phone and searched the internet for more information on Sebastian's watch . Without waiting for Valeria's reply , she continued , " It's a niche watch brand with a sleek design . His watch is much more expensive than his car . " He's probably quite well - off to be able to buy from such a niche brand .

I really can't help but be curious about his background . " Queenie loved to gossip , while Valeria was more on the quiet side . Usually , Queenie wouldn't stop blabbering away once the conversation was initiated . As the two of them stood by the curb , waiting for their ride , Valeria felt a gust of wind blowing against her , making her feel slightly cold . At that moment , their ride had arrived , so the two of them got in their ride .

Queenie wasn't bored even though she was the only one talking , as she knew Valeria wasn't much of a talker in the first place . However , to her surprise , Valeria had actually answered her . " Perhaps they both come from a similar background . Sabrina's boyfriend probably comes from wealth . " " You're right . Wealthy people are quite particular about matching with someone of equal status .

" The car continued to move forward and had passed by a few intersections when it was suddenly caught in the middle of a traffic congestion . There was an unmistakable sound of someone singing coming from the stadium nearby . Their driver sighed and exclaimed , " I would've taken another road if I had known there would be traffic . " " There's a concert going on right now . I would have reminded you to change roads , too , if I had remembered , " Queenie admitted .

A popular singer was holding their concert , so the entire arena was packed with fans . The roads were so congested that the cars barely moved . Valeria felt slightly exhausted . The stale air and the smell of leather under the hot summer sun made her feel slightly stuffy . She closed her eyes and leaned back on the car seat . She had ordered a budget ride , so there wasn't any air conditioning . Hence , she could only open the window for some fresh air .

She could feel the contents of her dinner gurgling in her stomach , so she tried her best to swallow Chapter 29 her discomfort . The four lanes were moving slowly , like tortoises . Suddenly , Quennie grabbed Valeria's arm and exclaimed , " Look over there . That's Ms. Lawson's boyfriend's car . They are right ahead of ours . " Valeria opened her eyes and looked out the window on the right side . Sure enough , their car was up ahead with only one car in between them .

The black Mercedes - Benz had the window rolled down as a man's arm stretched out the window . His arm was long and slender , while his skin was pale and fair . He was holding a cigarette between his fingers while his arm was resting against the car window . His hands were beautiful , and the veins around his arms made him look strong . He would stretch his hand out the window occasionally as he flicked the ash from the tip of his cigarette , the tiny ember glowing softly .

The night darkened as the cars slowly moved forward . Queenie took her phone and scooted over to Valeria's side . She couldn't help but take a few photos before she looked at them with a sigh . " Although it's bad for men to smoke , I have to admit that it isn't that bad for good - looking men like him to smoke . " " You're just being a hypocrite , " Valeria commented . The driver in front laughed out loud . He was also smoking after being agitated by the traffic congestion .

Queenie seemed to have remembered something as she smiled and inched closer toward Valeria . Then , she whispered , " My ex used to love giving me his cigarette while we were doing it in bed . I used to get so annoyed because of the smell . " Valeria frowned slightly . She couldn't help but wonder if all men were like that , considering that Sebastian had also done it .

During that particular summer break , Jane worked in a cafe in their school , while Sebastian and his family went on a trip to Eushope for a month . Hence , they hadn't seen each other for that amount of time . On the night he had returned , he told her to come over to his place . He had an apartment near their school , but she didn't head over , saying that she had to work until 10:00 pm . In truth , Jane missed him . Throughout that month , they hadn't chatted over the phone .

He wasn't someone who liked to share about his life . During his holiday trip , he hadn't taken many pictures for Jane to see either . He had only posted a single Instagram post , which Jane had looked at countless times . After she had finished her shift , she came out of the cafe and had taken a few steps when Chapter 29 someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a corner . 3/3 Behind the cafe was a popular forest . The place was cool and lush with trees surrounding the area .

Sebastian proceeded to kiss her passionately . When his lips touched hers , the smell of smoke surrounded her as he held her head still , forcing her to lift her chin . She didn't like that he smoked , so he rarely smoked , especially around her . She ended up coughing hard because of the smoke . Clutching his shirt , he murmured , " We're at school … " Wasn't he afraid that people would see them ?
