Chapter 492 Veronica’s Masochism
“Please, please, have a seat.” Patrick looked like a servant welcoming his master. Quest pulled a face and pointed at Veronica. He asked, “Is she an employee here? She insulted a client. She has no manners at all. I demand an explanation.”
Patrick knew what had happened. Someone told him earlier. He glanced at Veronica and frowned deeply. Now he thought Veronica was nothing but trouble.
“No wonder she insulted the client. So, she used to be a model.” “And Mrs. Kings’ god-granddaughter too. Probably got kicked out or something.”
“She’s a scheming woman. She’s probably trying to marry Matthew too. Just being a god-granddaughter isn’t enough for her.” “She’s pretty. Has that mature woman feel. And she has that good vibe too. So, she’s a good fit as a model.”
“As if. She looks like a succubus out for someone’s money.”
…
The salespeople were whispering among themselves, though it was loud enough for Veronica to hear.
Patrick was furious due to the turn of events. If looks could kill, he would have murdered Veronica on the spot. However, when he turned to Quest again, he was all smiles. “Sorry, Mr. Lemilo. She’s a newbie. She doesn’t know the rules well.” He roared at Veronica, “Don’t just stand there! Apologize!”
He wanted to get into Veronica’s pants and just got some money from Kelly. It would be embarrassing for him if he had to fire her now, or he wouldn’t have tried to appease Quest.
Veronica knew Quest was trying to bring her down, but she needed this job. She had to apologize, even though she didn’t want to. “Of course, Mr. Lemilo. It’s my fault for insulting her. Sorry, Mia. I was being presumptuous. I thought you were going to pay for it yourself. But if it’s your brother paying for it, then, of course, he’ll buy the million-dollar car. After all…” She drawled, “We can see how much he loves you.”
She was pushing them into a corner. Veronica apologized to them and praised Quest for spoiling his sugar baby. If he ended up buying the cheaper car, that would only mean he didn’t love her enough.
Mia had no idea what Veronica was trying to do, but she played along. “Of course. Quest is nice to me. He doesn’t care about cheap cars either. Only the best gets his interest.”
Mia was young, beautiful, and a popular model. Of course, she was aiming to reach greater heights, or she wouldn’t have dated Quest. She would only get the most expensive things. She might have a grudge against Veronica, but all she wanted now was to get something from Quest. After considering her options, she put her grievance aside and said, “Well, you did apologize. I suppose I can let you—”
“No!” Quest was here to humiliate Veronica. Therefore, he wouldn’t let it go that easily as he rudely pointed at her face. “You insulted my sister, and that means you insulted me! So, you either grovel before me, or you slap yourself. Or I’ll make you pay, you hear?”
“So, you’re saying you’ll buy the car if I just slap myself, are you? And you’ll give all the commission to me?” she asked him, much to everyone’s surprise. They thought she would be mad about it.
Her words stupefied everyone. They never thought Veronica would go so far just to sell a car.
“Just some slaps? No. I’ll record a video while you slap yourself.” Quest kept pushing it.
Everyone kept quiet and watched the show unfurl.
Mia knew Quest was getting back at her, and he promised he would buy the car if Veronica would slap herself. Naturally, she was more than happy to witness this.
