Chapter 258 Kenny’s Down Bad for Mia
Finished
Kenny pulled off his helmet with flair, his wind–blown hair falling perfectly out of place. He raised his eyebrows at Mia with a smug grin. “So? How was that? Admit it—I looked amazing out there. Are you thinking about dating me yet?”
Mia didn’t even blink.
She calmly pulled out her phone, opened her payment screen, and held it up. “Pay up.
Kenny’s grin faltered.
“Seriously, Mia? That’s it? Not even one compliment? I just gave you the ride of a lifetime and you’re gonna leave me hanging like this? That’s cold.”
She said nothing, just stared at him–cool, still, and unreadable.
Those sharp eyes locked onto his, and Kenny’s heart immediately kicked into overdrive. His face flushed
red.
He looked down, pretending to scroll through his phone, mostly just trying to hide the chaos going on in his chest.
Why does her death stare make her even hotter? Why am I into this? I’m seriously down bad.
He fumbled for his payment app and, without a second thought, sent over 140,000 dollars.
“Payment received, 140,000 dollars.”
The crisp notification broke the silence. Mia raised an eyebrow. “What’s this for?”
Kenny gave a sheepish laugh and rubbed the back of his neck. “You said one day as my girlfriend costs 14,000 dollars. So I figured I’d lock in ten days. Advance booking–what do you say?”
Mia’s lips curled ever so slightly, the tiniest smirk playing on her face. There was even a flicker of amusement in her eyes.
She had to admit–Kenny looked kind of adorable right now.
She stepped right up to him, grabbed a handful of his collar, and yanked him down so they were face to face.
Kenny’s heart practically stopped. His face lit up like a fire alarm, blush rushing all the way to his ears.
“M–Mia, what are you doing?” he stammered, his brain jumping straight into fantasy mode.
Wait–is this a kiss? Is she really about to kiss me? Oh crap I’m not ready!
But if she is… I mean, I’m down.
He shut his eyes, puckered up just a little, standing there like a human invitation.

Chapter 258 Kenny’s Down Bad for Mia
Then she let go and gave him a light shove backward.
Finished
Kenny blinked, stunned. His daydream popped like a soap bubble, and he was left staring at her like a kicked puppy.
He had paid 140,000 dollars for ten days–and she wouldn’t even give him a kiss?
Brutal.
Right about then, the rest of the riders finally pulled up at the finish line.
Kenny spotted his longtime rival and smirked, pure smug satisfaction in his voice. “Looks like you lost.”
The guy scoffed and shoved Taylor toward him.
“She’s yours.”
Taylor stumbled and practically fell into Kenny’s chest.
He pushed her off like she was covered in slime. “What am I supposed to do with that? I never asked for her back.”
The guy rolled his eyes. “We made a deal. I lose, Taylor’s yours. You lose, I get your girl.”
His gaze slid over to Mia, eyes roaming up and down like he owned the place. Then he whistled, low and sleazy. “Hey baby, what’s your name?”
Mia didn’t flinch. She didn’t spare him a glance.
That wiped the smirk off his face. He scowled, voice turning mean. “I’m talking to you. You deaf or something?”
Mia’s expression shifted immediately. That word hit a nerve.
Ever since learning about Laurie’s hearing loss, she couldn’t stand hearing the word “deaf” used like that.
She turned on him, her stare like a blade. Her voice dropped cold and flat. “What makes you think I’d ever tell you my name?”
The guy blinked in surprise, then broke into a smug grin.
“Mr. Kenny, this one’s got some fire. Tell you what–why don’t we trade? You give me your girl, I give you Taylor. I thought she was your type anyway. Win–win.”
Kenny’s face turned crimson. “You’ve got to be kidding me. You think I’m out here collecting garbage? Quit tossing your used–up leftovers at me.”
He reached out and yanked Mia behind him, shielding her like she was made of glass.
Then he shoved Taylor right back where she came from. “Take her. She’s your problem, not mine. I’ve got a girlfriend now who’s a thousand–no, a million times better.”
Taylor’s eves filled with tears humiliation written all over her face. Her voice cracked “Kenny how could
