Chapter 92: A Car That Looks Exactly the Same
Joanna is sitting on the car when she's following Edward. She keeps her distance because she's afraid that Edward will find out. Joanna is very surprised to see Edward walking out with a smile.
She doesn't know how long, seems like it's been a century since she last seen Edward's smile.
Edward never smiles at her like that, even if Alice has left, he doesn't show his genial expression to her either.
Thinking of that, Joanna feels a bit resentful.
Alice, why do you have to show up and why do you have to steal what belongs to me.
Edward stands at the door thinking of what Alice's expression will look like when she receives the car, and whether it'll be a nice surprise or shock.
For no reason, he suddenly really wants to see Alice, even if her profession now makes him a bit unhappy, but he still wants to meet her.
"Mr. Smith?" the driver is confused and calls Edward after seeing that his CEO is smiling foolishly, standing at the car door.
Edward feels the driver's gaze, he looks awkward, he knows that his expression must be a bit foolish just now so he pretends to be cold and says, "Go to Alice's clinic."
Right when he hops into the car, he remembers what his mom says on the phone today, Edward frowns and his eyes flashes dim light, he changes his mind so he tells the driver, "Go back to Smith's."
The driver nods, he's afraid to ask more so he just drives the car drives all the way to Smith's.
It's not that Edward doesn't want to meet Alice, but he doesn't know how to face her. If Alice rejects his gift, then isn't it humiliating for him?
No, how could he do such thing.
He'll just go back to Smith's first and wait until Alice herself contacts him.
Edward did not realize that when his car just left, another car arrives at the car dealership entrance. The person inside the car is of course Joanna who's been chasing Edward. Joanna somehow feels something's wrong with the car dealership when she sees Edward leaving, so she had to get off the car and ask on her own.
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
A salesman walks closer and asks Joanna right after she enters the car dealership
"Tell your manager to meet me." Joanna feels a bit unhappy looking at the salesman who's walking closer to her. Does a mere salesman deserve to serve someone like her? "Yes."
The salesman knows Joanna looks down on him, but he still replies with a nice tone. After all people who can enter this car dealership are those with high status, he can't just create a fuss because of an unpleasant tone. The salesman leaves for a bit and comes back with the manager that has just served Edward.
"Miss, may I help you?" the car dealership manager is a clever guy. Just by a glance, he can tell that Joanna has a high status.
"Just now what did that guy do at this place?" Joanna directly asks him.
"Just now?" the manager feels a bit confused, there's no one else than Mr. Smith, could it be......
"Don't act dumb with me, it is Edward, what did he do here?" says Joanna blatantly.
"Oh, Mr. Smith came to see the car he booked." now the manager understands that the woman in front of him is chasing Edward. "Which car?" Joanna asks impatiently.
"It's this car here." the manager points at car in the exhibition.
Joanna looks at that car.
Just by taking a look, Joanna knows that Edward won't drive this car and Janet never drives any car, so this car must be a gift for Alice. "Is this car a gift for a woman named Alice?" Joanna asks.
"That's the privacy of our customer, it's inappropriate for us to disclose." the manager replies in all seriousness.
"Humph. Inappropriate?" Joanna takes a check out of her back and gives it to the manager, and continues, "What about now?"
"Miss, I really can't, I have to respect the privacy of our customer." the manager refuses the check.
"I didn't ask for any private information. I just want to know whether Alice is the owner of this car." Joanna looks at the manager disdainfully and says, "You're just a manager anyway, one name on each check, you got it?" The manager feels troubled looking at the check in front of him, his heart struggles for a bit but he still accepts it in the end.
"Mr. Smith told us to send the car to Alice's place."
Joanna's heart is burning with rage after proving that her own thoughts are correct.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Why does Alice get all the good things, while she doesn't get any benefit and even makes Edward unhappy?
Now Alice has a car and Edward, but Joanna gets nothing. Thinking of that, Joanna looks at the car like she wants to destroy it, her heart is burning with flames. Buzz-
The phone's vibration stops Joanna's movement.
"What is it?" Joanna unhappily receives the call.
"Joanna?" the person calling on the other side is a bit surprised.
Once she recognizes Janet's voice, Joanna immediately changes her tone, "Auntie, what happened?"
Joanna's changes her tone so quickly that Janet has yet to adapt to it, seems like the unhappiness just now was just Janet's hallucination.
"Didn't I tell you to come over and eat? Where are you now?" Janet asks.
"Oh, I'll go back soon. Sorry Aunty, I had to take care of something." Joanna says that to fawn on Janet.
Janet says, "Okay, then come quickly, Edward is already home."
"Okay." Joanna's overly sweet voice makes the manager beside her feels cold.
This woman is really not to mess with, her face still looks angry but her mouth can say something sweet to such extent. This time Edward has really attracted someone who's hard to deal with. Joanna hangs up, she doesn't pay attention to the manager's expression at all and immediately says, "I want a car that looks exactly the same."
"Huh?" the manager still exclaims in admiration.
"I said that, I want a car that looks exactly the same." Joanna pulls out another check and puts it on the car.
"This is custom made..." before the manager finishes the sentence, Joanna already interrupts, "Is there only one custom made car? Your car dealership doesn't want to sell more cars?"
The manager nods helplessly and says, "Miss, if you say that, of course we want to. There's two of this car, if you want it we'll provide you with it."
"I'll get anything I want after all, tell them to send it to this address." after telling her own address, Joanna leaves without even looking back.
The manager stays at that place holding two checks. He silently heaves a long sigh of relief.0000000
