Her fear swiftly transformed into anger. "This is your doing, isn't it?""Yes, it was deliberate. If I hadn't made you wait, how else could I have savored that look of shock and fear on your face?" Sophie said, pointing at Melissa’s face with a smile."You...," Melissa started to retort, but Sophie suddenly grabbed her finger and twisted it, causing Melissa to lean over.The frightened driver glanced back, only to be met with Sophie's chilling gaze.
