The first few minutes of the ride passed in silence, with Lola lost in her thoughts. She had her elbow propped against the window, sighing for what felt like the umpteenth time.
"Just give them something random to do."
Scarlet's voice suddenly broke the quiet inside the vehicle. Lola turned toward her, only to find Scarlet still focused on the road, hands steady on the wheel.
"Give them something stupid to do again," she added. "That will stop them from bothering you."
Lola arched a brow. "Would you do something stupid?"
"Except me."
"So, you're really serious about the punishment, huh?"
"I didn't do anything wrong to you. What I did wrong, I was already punished for," Scarlet replied coolly. "However, I still deserve consequences for other reasons in this mission. One of them is failing to take proper care of my team."
"You are not the captain of the team."
