The New Driver (COMPLETE)

Third pov

Carter smirked. "I want you as my personal mechanic."

Phoenix gave him a confused stare. "You asked me here to tell me that you want me as your personal mechanic?"

Carter nodded. "Yes." He lit a cigar. His amusement to her reaction was clear.

"What's the catch?" Phoenix gave him a suspicious look.

"No catch. You do the maintenance on the cars i have and any cars i buy, after that you get paid for your work." He opened a champagne bottle and poured two glasses.

"Champagne?"

She took the glass. "Why in the world do you want me as your mechanic?" She took a sip, quite happy that it tasted of pears.

"I have taken quite the interest in you. You have a record for being the best driver out there and a talent for fixing cars. Why wouldn't i want you as my mechanic?" He watched as she gave him a look of disbelief.

"You're weird, and I'm not even going to try and pretend i understand what your underlying motive is. What would you pay me?"

He handed her a paper with a number on it.

My eyes widen and my jaw drops. "You're willing to pay 25k a month?"

"Too little?"

I look at him. "Too little? It's too much. I wouldn't even know what to do with that much money."

"Well, that's the pay you'll get."

A sudden thought crosses my mind. "If i agree to work for you, i want to see the cars first."

He is very clearly amused. "I don't see why not. Let's take a walk."

We get up.

It's quite amazing how people are quick to get out of his way, mixed looks of admiration, lust and envy sent our way. I can't tell what's directed at who. "You got quite the fans here." Many women are glaring at me.

"I don't usually socialize with people i want to work for me, they think you're my new girlfriend."

I make a face. "I take it not many are as honest with you as i am?" I tend to be brutally honest with most people. Carter isn't any different.

He laughs. "No. Most women fall at my feet."

Time skip

After a short walk (his garage was actually close to the club) we reached our destination. The garage is bigger than i thought and filled with sixteen different cars. My jaw drops.

"I take it you like them."

So many cars, in such a good condition. So beautiful~

Third pov

You could almost see stars in Phoenix eyes as she looked around the cars. Carter felt a rare genuine smile tug on his lips as she admired the cars."I'll take the job."

He chuckled and handed her some keys. "You can come and go as you wish. All the keys you need are on the keychain and tell me if you need anything."

Phoenix nodded. "Yeah, but you said there would be work to do though. These," She motiones to the cars. "Are in pristine condition."

Carter found that he quite liked when she looked confused. "There is another room. I'll show you."

He guided her to another big room with cars in varying stages of unusable. "This is some cars i haven't found anyone i trust to take a look at yet. But that won't be a problem for you, will it?"

He had already lost Phoenix attention as she, with surprisingly light and quick footsteps, was practically zooming around the cars. "Ooh, an Evo, and a Spyder, more Ferraris, a Lamborghini..."

He waited for her to tire herself out.

"You like Ferraris, don't you?" She commented.

"I sell some of them, but yes, i do like Ferraris." He watched as she was quickly seeming to figure out most faults with the cars.

Time skip

After about twenty minutes Phoenix was willing to leave. She was a source of endless amusement for Carter and he found he liked that.

I think this is the longest chapter yet

Vote and comment, it keeps me motivated :)
