In half an hour.
All the car purchase procedures have been completed. Sean paid, using Cornelia’s ID. So the Bentley Flying Spur was owned by Cornelia.
“Well…”
“Giving her a car?”
“That’s nearly $3 million Bentley Flying Spur. How could he give it away so easily? Is this how rich people pick up girls these days?”
“Oh, my God, why don’t I get one of those great guys?”
The saleswomen witnessed the whole process of buying the car. When Ms. Lee handed Cornelia the keys to the Bentley Flying Spur, they looked on from a distance with indescribable admiration in their eyes.
The way they looked at Sean was like a pack of wolves meeting their prey!
How handsome he was!
Sean came here for the first time yesterday afternoon. They treated him like a poor kid who couldn’t afford a car. And now they thought Sean was the most handsome man in the world!
Especially when Sean pulled out the Supreme Black Card and swiped it at the counter. Everything about him seemed to be shining.
Damn! He was shining!
On the contrary...
Cornelia was in a dazed state until Ms. Lee handed her keys to the Bentley Flying Spur. Sean asked to borrow her ID just now. But he didn’t tell her that the purpose of taking her ID card was to purchase the car.
By the time she found out, it was done!
Cornelia blushed and her heart beat as she heard the saleswomen whispering. She was so nervous, clutching the car keys in her right hand, her palms sweating.
“I can’t thank Mr. Mason enough for helping me out of trouble. Why would he give me a car?”
“And it’s worth nearly $3 million!”
“The average company owner can’t afford it, but Mr. Mason gave it to me out of the blue. Is it true, as they say, that Mr. Mason…?”
“He’s trying to hit on me?”
Cornelia lowered her head, afraid to look at Sean beside her. Her mind could not help thinking wildly, and her heart burst and beat wildly. She was even vaguely worried, “What should I do if Mr. Mason professes his love to me?”
“Should I say no?”
“Or yes?”
“If I say yes, will Mr. Mason think I’m too flighty a woman? Would he think I was after his money? Or could he think that I had reluctantly consented out of gratitude?”
After all, the two had only met yesterday afternoon. They’d only met twice so far!
Cornelia had recently graduated from college and had always had low self-esteem due to her family background. Despite her good looks and great body, she had never been in love.
In terms of love, she was a blank sheet of paper waiting to be drawn by a man.
“Let’s go.”
Sean put the Supreme Black Card away, grabbed Cornelia’s hand and strode across the street to the Bentley Flying Spur. His movements were flowing, very natural and not at all uncomfortable.
They were holding hands! Hand in hand!
The saleswomen stared at Sean and Cornelia as they held hands. They looked excited as if they were watching a soap opera. They were about to shout “Together, together”.
Cornelia let Sean hold her hand and lead her to the Bentley Flying Spur. Sean reached for the passenger side door and said, “Get in.”
“Mr. Mason, I…”
Cornelia struggled and hesitated. Sean might have helped her and been her benefactor, but she was not the flighty kind of woman.
Who knew where Sean was taking her?
Or what he was doing to her?
“Don’t worry, I mean you no harm.”
Sean rolled his eyes. He knew what Cornelia was worried about. He pushed her straight into the car and whispered, “Do I look like a bad guy when I’m so handsome?”
“Look how scared you are…”
Sean turned around, got into the driver’s seat, took the keys from Cornelia, and strolled out of the Bentley 4S store.
The saleswomen watched them leave, staring at the Bentley Flying Spur’s rear end.
