Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 274

**TITLE: Beseeched 274**
**Chapter 274: Hard Drive**

The moment Dawn stepped into the scene, she sensed something was off. Roxanne, usually clad in stylish yet casual attire, had opted for a strikingly different look today—an industrial-style jumpsuit that hugged her figure and combat boots that added an edge to her appearance. The outfit screamed confidence, and perhaps a hint of rebellion.

“Hey,” Roxanne greeted, her smile a blend of warmth and mischief, almost as if she were testing the waters.

Dawn maintained her composure, her face a mask of neutrality. “Did you need something from me, Ms. West?” she replied, her tone steady but guarded.

“Can’t I just drop by to see you if it’s nothing important?” Roxanne shot back, feigning offense while placing a hand dramatically on her forehead, as if struck by a sudden revelation.

Dawn couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, the tension momentarily lifting. “Ms. West, you really should reconsider your career path. With your flair for theatrics, you’d be a sensation in showbiz.”

“Really?” Roxanne’s eyes sparkled with a sincerity that surprised Dawn. “My adoptive father has said the same thing.”

But just as quickly as that sincerity appeared, it was overshadowed by a flicker of impatience in Roxanne’s gaze. She swung open the car door, her body language shifting. “Get in.”

Dawn remained rooted to the spot, her cool demeanor unwavering.

“Spit it out,” she urged, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Roxanne turned to face her, momentarily taken aback, then let out a snort of laughter. “Relax! Do you really think I’m going to bite you or something?”

With one hand resting casually on the car door, she exuded a mix of defiance and charm. “I heard you’ve been quite the diligent worker handling that old lady’s business lately. How about I take you to see something interesting? Want to come?”

The way she presented the invitation felt almost like a challenge.

“Go or don’t; no pressure,” Roxanne added, her voice light and teasing.

Dawn frowned, suspicion creeping into her thoughts. “What did you do?”

“Didn’t do anything,” Roxanne shrugged, her smile disarming. “Just a little something regarding our employee who passed away. It’s only natural, right? So, are you coming or not?”

In the end, curiosity got the better of Dawn, and she slipped into the passenger seat.

Roxanne might have been trying to provoke her, but Dawn couldn’t simply brush it off.

As the Ferrari roared to life, the engine’s growl broke the stillness of the evening. The rush hour traffic had long dissipated, leaving the roads open for their reckless adventure.

Dawn’s grip tightened around the door handle, her heart racing. “Roxanne, you can’t race in the city,” she cautioned, her voice laced with concern.

“Hahaha,” Roxanne laughed, clearly relishing this side of Dawn.

In these moments, it was as if Dawn was allowing herself to concede, if only for a fleeting second.

A wild glimmer ignited in Roxanne’s eyes as she shouted, “Who cares about them? If you’re scared, hold on tight, coward!”

With that, she slammed the gas pedal down, and the red sports car shot forward, racing down the overpass like a comet streaking through the night sky at an exhilarating 125 miles per hour.

When they finally arrived at their destination, Dawn found herself momentarily frozen, taking in the scene before her.

Roxanne unbuckled her seatbelt, a gleeful grin plastered across her face. “So… fun, huh?”

Dawn stepped out, her expression blank, scanning the area. This had to be the project site where Ivan had been laboring tirelessly.
