“You f*cker! When did you come back? Why didn’t you give me a call, huh?” asked Xeno as he playfully smacked Gerald’s back a few times.
“Ow, ow! I just came back some time ago! It’s been a long time since I’ve returned, so I’m staying in Serene County for the time being!” replied Gerald as he smiled happily.
“Xeno, that’s a customer! Be professional!” shouted a woman as she came out of the shop.
She was dressed fashionably and she looked to be around the same age as Gerald.
Of course, Gerald knew who she was too. She was from his junior high school and back then, she was in a relationship with Xeno.
Her family owned a supermarket in town and they were pretty well to do.
It seemed that both of them were still maintaining their relationship even after so many years!
“Heh, don’t tell me you forgot about Sienna?” said Xeno as he smiled.
“She’s my fiancée now… Both of us got engaged just three months ago!”
“Oh? Oh, it’s Gerald? And here I was wondering who it was. Hurry up and greet the customers!”
When Sienna saw Gerald, she simply looked at him coldly before turning around to leave.
She didn’t really despise or look down on him, but Gerald could still sense a slight resentment through the way she looked at him.
Gerald simply smiled awkwardly after hearing that.
“Boss, are you done? We’ve been standing here for a while! Are both of you done chatting?” asked Douglas as he tapped his foot.
Douglas was feeling slightly irked. To think that the owner of this second-hand car shop was actually Gerald’s close friend! There was no way he was going to be able to make Gerald suffer a loss now!
“Oh? Who’s the seller? Are you the one?” said Xeno as he smiled while looking at Douglas.
“Oh, I’m not the one you’re looking for. I’m just helping Gerald sell his Mercedes Benz G500! He’s been driving it for a while now so… I’d say one hundred and fifty thousand dollars should do the trick!” Douglas replied.
