“Jessica Heard testified during her deposition!, however,] that she was not acting within the course and scope of her employment with the Company at the time of the accident but was driving back home after finishing an exam at school. [Jessica’s father] also testified that Jessica was not performing any work for the Company on the day of the accident and further stated that she had not worked for the Company at all that month because of her school schedule.”
