Cecilia even thought that since Sean was in prison for rape, he must have a bad track record in relationships. And now that she was engaged to him, would his ex-girlfriends know it and come knocking on her door?
Damn it!
Cecilia silently cursed Sean, then stood up bravely and said, “I’ll go down and have a look.”
Lilith Carter said with a smile, “I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need.”
Cecilia shook her head and said, “It’s my business. I can handle it myself.”
If that was what she thought, Cecilia didn’t want anyone else to see it.
“But I’m your secretary.”
Lilith Carter said with a smile, “Like I said this morning, big or small, business, or personal, if it has something to do with you, it has something to do with me. Then it’s necessary for me to ask about it.”
“You!”
Cecilia stared at Lilith Carter for a long time, thinking, “A secretary? And you know you’re my secretary?”
Was there a secretary who dared to talk to CEO like that?
You were bossier than I was!
How about I let you be the CEO?
“Miss Moore, don’t you look at me like that.”
Lilith Carter was not stupid. She naturally saw Cecilia’s displeasure, but she kept a charming smile on her face and explained, “I need to take care of any problems you have, anytime, anywhere, and do everything I can to keep you safe. These are also what Mr. Campbell told me before I came.”
“I was just following orders, doing my job. Please understand and forgive me.”
Following orders!
Again!
Cecilia was now somewhat suspicious of the motives of the Campbell family in Crane Town. There was no such thing as a free lunch. It seemed that the Campbell family of The Crane Town inexplicably helped her to the position of president, perhaps not to help her, but to take advantage of her!
Protection?
Lilith Carter’s overprotection made Cecilia feel like she was being watched!
This felt suck!
“Whatever!”
Cecilia snorted and turned away.
Lilith Carter followed.
The two of them walked out of the Moore Group’s building together. In the small square outside the building, they saw the women Lilith Carter was talking about, and the Mulsanne.
Not surprisingly, Cecilia didn’t know any of these women!
Even the Mulsanne, she had never seen it before. It was not at all like she thought. It was not the same car Sean bought yesterday afternoon!
Sean’s was jewel-black, and this one was grey!
“And you are?”
Cecilia walked over, confused
“You are Miss Cecilia Moore, wife of Mr. Sean Mason, right?”
The leading woman looked at Cecilia carefully several times, then smiled and held out her hand, introducing herself, “Hello, Miss Moore, we are sales staff of Bentley 4S Shop. I am Ms. Lee, the sales manager of the shop. These two are our shop assistants.”
“Hello.”
Cecilia politely shook Hands with Ms. Lee. It looked like these women weren’t Sean’s ex-girlfriends, which was a bit of a relief. She then asked, “What is it you came to see me about?”
Whether it was an illusion or not, Cecilia felt that the two salesgirls behind Ms. Lee were looking at her in a strange way.
“Here’s the thing.”
Ms. Lee quickly explained, “Mr. Mason bought you a car from our store. And it is this gray Mulsanne. He told us to bring the car to you and use your ID card to purchase the car.”
“But a car?”
For a moment, Cecilia’s eyes widened. She looked at Ms. Lee and then at Mulsanne next to her.
He bought a Mulsanne yesterday afternoon, and he bought another one this afternoon?
As far as she knew, Mulsanne cost about $6.2 million!
Why?
“Yes.”
Ms. Lee turned and took a folder from the clerk behind her and handed it to Cecilia, saying, “Mr. Mason has already paid for you. All you need to do is sign on the car purchase agreement and let us use your ID card to handle relevant procedures for you on the spot.”
“He paid for that?”
Cecilia was shocked again.
$6.2 million for a Mulsanne. And two, that was 12.4 million!
Sean, a rapist who just got released from the Hilshire Detention Center yesterday morning, was he that rich?
Before, she thought Sean saved his money before he went to prison.
Now, she didn’t think so.
More than ten million! Damn! The average person probably could not save so much money in a lifetime!
Even Cecilia, no matter how slow she was, realized that Sean’s background was more than met the eye!
Even the fact that he was in prison in the first place might well have other reasons!
After all, how could a spendthrift man with so much money rape?
Did he need to rape?
In this materialistic and money-oriented society, when Sean took out his bank card and swiped it, he would instantly be awash with beautiful women trying to get into his bed.
Rape?
Now that she thought about it, it was a big joke!
Even Lilith Carter, who was standing behind Cecilia, was surprised by Ms. Lee’s words, thinking, “That’s interesting. Miss Moore’s husband seems to be very unusual. Perhaps all Mr. Campbell’s arrangements were not for Miss Moore, but for Sean Mason!
“Miss Moore?”
Ms. Lee called out when Cecilia was stunned.
Cecilia came to her senses and asked, “Can I return it now?”
6.2 million! It was too extravagant and wasteful for Cecilia, who had been frugal for five years. Even if she were to buy a car, it would never cost more than $300,000 according to her previous budget!
Plus, she and Sean just met yesterday morning. Although they were unwittingly engaged, they were not officially married and had no emotional foundation. She didn’t want to spend Sean’s money again and again in the name of his wife!
Sean spent nearly a million dollars shopping for her at the Ricky Mall yesterday. It had made her very uneasy.
“Return? But…”
Ms. Lee’s hand shook and the folder nearly fell to the floor. The smile on her face froze and she said awkwardly, “Mr. Mason paid the money. If you want to return it, we need Mr. Mason’s approval first. Besides, the refund process in our shop is quite troublesome, I’m afraid…”
The implication was obvious. No refunding!
Absolutely not!
