“Oho, you must be Kenneth’s girlfriend, Irene! My car is right over there, haha! Look all you want, it’s nothing special. Half a million, barely worth anything! After you’ve finished your inspection, let’s all go grab a bite to eat!” Saying this, Sean led them off jovially.
“Hey,
hey! Mila, don’t you want to see it too? Oh, that’s right… best not to,
perhaps. Even if you saw it, it’s not like your boyfriend could afford one for
himself. Not like Kenneth, who has a Ferrari. Also,
also,
Mila… Do you need some spending
money? I hope you understand. If it were not for Sean
offering to
treat
us to a meal, I’d ask Kenneth to give you guys a lift. However, since we’ll be
leaving with Sean in a bit, if you
need some cash for a taxi,
all you need to do is ask!” Irene hugged herself and giggled.
She absolutely had to
capitalize on every advantage.
everything over all these years, to finally be lording it over her
like this… it irked
her all the way to her
bones.
“Who cares! No one wants to see it, anyway!” Mila was spitting fire and was just about to drag Gerald
away with her.
“Let’s go see!” Gerald suggested suddenly, rubbing
his nose with a grin.
Firstly, it felt as
though Mila was curious
to see this Lamborghini
herself, and she definitely
didn’t want
to walk away still fuming
over Irene.
Secondly, Gerald himself wanted to see it. He
was interested in making a comparison against his own Lambo!
More importantly, there was something very familiar about those two…
“Alright,
alright, let’s all go have a look. But Sean is only friends with Kenneth, don’t
expect him to treat you guys as
well!” Irene grinned.
Gerald then led Mila
over to join everyone.
The moment he clapped
eyes on that Gallardo, a memory
came flooding back to him!
No wonder he felt as though he’d seen them before.
These two had been with that salesperson, back when Gerald
had been shopping
for his car!
The girl had been wearing heavy make-up at that
time. Today, she’d had to take
a test, so she was only
wearing light make-up. That was why he had
failed to make the connection right away. He
could remember this Mina girl sitting in the car, refusing to get out.
Haha, what a small
world!
“I
say, you can really tell this sports car cost over half a million. It’s simply
majestic! It’s something else!” “Sean, will we
all be going in your car
later?” Irene cooed enviously.
“No problem! Oh? Kenneth, are these two here
your friends?” Sean turned when he
noticed Gerald and
Mila.
Of course, the one he
noticed wasn’t Gerald,
but rather, the invigorating, captivating, and otherworldly
beauty named Mila.
Gorgeous. Even more of a looker than Kenneth’s
girlfriend, Irene.
“Hoho,
this is my younger cousin, and that loser beside her is her boyfriend!” Irene
announced sourly. She put particular emphasis on the word
‘boyfriend’ as though she wanted everyone to pay close
attention to that fact.
“I
see!” Sean smiled brightly and walked up to shake hands with Mila. Put off by the unconcealed lust in his
eyes, she backed away from him. Sean’s handshake
was intercepted by Gerald, instead.
“How do you do?”
“Argh!” Sean frowned
darkly, annoyed to be shaking hands with some bum.
Deflating somewhat, he
glanced at Gerald briefly.
“How do you—the hell?! You again?!”
He instantly recognized Gerald and stood there stunned.
In fact, he was shaking with disbelief.
Not
that Gerald was ugly by any measure, but stick him in a crowd and he’d blend
right in, especially with the sort of clothes he typically wore. He
wasn’t the eye-catching sort of guy.
It was only at this moment that Sean had
detected his presence here and was paralyzed by this discovery.
This was the Mr. Crawford who had put down
nearly three million for a car without so much as batting an eyelash!
“Why,
Mr. Crawford! What a pleasure to see you again!” Sean shook his hands
enthusiastically. “What, what?”
Irene gabbled.
“Sean, what did you just call him?!”
