Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 46

So why bother?

Christine pressed down her anger, "Fine, let's just pay up and get out of here. Out of sight, out of mind."

After settling the bill, the customer service rep led us to the front of the shop to see the car.

After days of repairs, there were no signs of the accident left. It looked as good as new.

"Wait for me a sec, I gotta hit the restroom," Christine said in a rush, heading for the bathroom.

I chuckled and decided to wait inside the car.

The moment I got in, I heard a clear voice demanding, "I want that one!"

Which car she liked was none of my business.

I closed the car door, just thinking about leaving as soon as Christine returned.

But before Christine came back, a sales consultant knocked on my window.

I cracked the window slightly, impatiently asking, "What's up?"

"Hello, there's a customer who would like to see your car, if that’s cool with you..."

"It’s not just to see, I want to buy it." Margaret spoke softly, yet with an undeniable insistence, "We have money. Just name your price, any price."

The salesman looked at me awkwardly, "What do you think...?"

"No way." I spat out the two words and immediately rolled up the window.

Christine had the car fitted with tinted windows a few days after purchase; you couldn't see inside from the outside.
