"So is yours." He said. "Can we go now?" He turned away. He doesn't want to look like a fool ogling at her.

           She smiled and nodded. "Yes." And he leads the way to the kitchen that leads to the back of the house and then to his garage which he opens with a remote.

          Lola opened her mouth in surprise. She always come to the back of the house but she had never stepped into his car garage. She just knows that his cars are brought to the front of the house before he leaves for work.

          And they stepped into the brightly lit garage that seem bigger than her father's house.

          She stop in bewilderment when she saw the cars parked in two rows facing each other with space for walking at the centre of them.

          Cars she had never seen before in her life. And cars that were very popular in movies are the ones parked in the garage.

          Does only one man own all these cars? She asked herself. But she couldn't believe it.

"Lola," Demilade called exasperated.

          She moved her eyes to him.

"Do your company deal with cars?" She asked.

"No."

"Do you sell cars?"

"No." He was getting angry.

"So you ... You own all this car?" She asked perplexed. "That is Ferrari. That is the latest Lexus car. Do you seriously own all this?"

"Lola gets into the car," Demilade said almost yelling without answering her question.

          She slowly walked up to the sports car he was about to take out. The car was black and shiny with a kind of tire she had never seen. She wondered what kind of brand of car it is and how much he bought it.

           Why will someone waste money on such cars? The questions keep ringing in her head.

"Do you own all this car?" Lola asked again when she sat beside him in front of the car.

"Will there be in my garage if it was someone else?" He asked with a knitted brow. "Use the seat belt." He ordered and he started the car by pressing a button.

           The inside of the car was super amazing. She bought her phone to take pictures. She needs to show her brother and her friends this. She can't let that kind of moment just pass.

          But she is not impressed with the camera of her phone. And she grimaces. It was one of the times she wished she had a better phone.

           Demilade noticed how Lola glare at her phone whenever she take a selfie. He can tell the phone camera was horrible.

        He picked up his iPhone X and threw it on her thigh.

"Use that." He said and he drove out of the compound.

          Lola was surprised that he gave her his phone. And at the same, she was grateful.

"Thanks." She appreciated but he said nothing. She didn't seem to mind. She knows his character. She turned on the phone. "Here. Your password." She said giving it to him.

         Demilade gave her an exasperated look.

"Sorry. I forgot you are driving." She said. He noticed the disappointment on her face and he suddenly regret what he did. She turned off the phone to put it down and he said.
