“Gerald, this car must’ve cost a bomb, right? It’s quite a sight!”
Liam walked toward them and smiled at Gerald.
No matter how much the rest mocked him, Liam knew that being friends with him would be advantageous since he personally knew Elena and drove such a luxurious car.
“About 22,000 dollars!” Gerald replied, smiling politely.
They both shook hands.
Meanwhile, Liam’s phone rang.
“Dad? Okay, I’ll go back now!”
Liam hung up his phone. “Hey, Gerald. I’ll have to leave now; it’s really nice meeting you! I’m so sorry, Douglas and Leila, something came up, and I can’t take you guys home.”
“Huh?” Leila was stunned.
They were supposed to hitch a ride from Liam back home since Douglas did not dare drive his car.
Meanwhile, Gerald had already started his car engine, and Lilian was sitting next to him.
Douglas then turned to Leila and asked. “Leila, why not we take an Uber?”
