Watching Will clamber up from the ground and dash towards the car, Jessica laughed as she engaged the reverse gear, stepping on the accelerator.
Will lunged and missed as the car roared backward for two meters before neatly turning around to rejoin the path and then slowed down after dashing forward a few meters.
Sensing the car lacked power, Jessica pressed the gas pedal again, but instead of accelerating, the vehicle slowed down even more and finally, as if gasping for air, came to a stop.
Through the rearview mirror, as she watched Will catching up, Jessica stomped on the accelerator once more, only to find the car remained immobile.
After turning off the engine, Jessica tried to restart it and her gaze swept across the dashboard, only to see the fuel tank's red light already on, infuriating her so much that she slammed her hands on the steering wheel.
Could it be, this guy is so broke he can't afford gas?
"Stop right there!"
