Chapter 89
“Oh, it was not too bad,” Daria humbly replied, but her face glowed with pride. “Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Tim Reid. He’s the deputy general manager of the New Wave Group’s business department. He makes a hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year.”
Daria emphasized heavily on the last two sentences, and Tim proudly flashed his big golden tooth.
Daria was waiting to see Sheena’s reaction, hoping to satisfy her own vanity. However, Sheena’s face remained indifferent, which irritated Daria. She had always disliked Sheena for her pretentious attitude, and Daria was determined to unmask Sheena.
“I heard that you got divorced,” Daria continued, giving Sheena a once–over. Noticing her professional attire, Daria sneered, “Are you working as a salesperson in this car dealership? Which brand are you representing? It’s only been a few years, yet you’ve ended up like this?”
Sheena looked at Daria as if she was a clown and replied with a faint smile, “I’m here to buy a car.”
With that, Sheena redirected her attention, turned around, and followed the car salesman’s guidance to explore the cars inside. She had no intention of wasting time on such an insignificant person.
Seeing Sheena’s disinterest and cool demeanor, Daria grew even more annoyed.
A couple of days ago, she visited the orphanage and heard that Sheena got divorced and was left with nothing. Why was she here to buy a car?
“I’d love to see what kind of car you can afford,” Daria muttered, fixating on Sheena. Then, she turned to Tim and said coyly, “Honey, let’s take a look inside. This is a gift from you, after all. I want to select the most outstanding and suitable car for me.”
Tim was still completely captivated by Sheena’s graceful figure and lost in his fantasies, so he quickly agreed to Daria’s suggestion.
In the showroom, Sheena ultimately ended up in the section with budget–friendly Volkswagen cars. She had no particular passion or desire for material possessions. Practicality and simplicity were her main criteria.
After selecting a car, Sheena was ready to finalize the purchase and leave when she heard Daria’s disdainful voice from behind.
“I never thought you’d be eyeing a budget car like the Volkswagen Passat. It looks like life hasn’t been treating you well after the divorce.”
Daria stood there, looking disdainful. However, Sheena paid her no mind and completely ignored her.
Being ignored did not bother Daria much, and she continued, “Considering our past friendship, I can have my boyfriend introduce you to some exceptional male colleagues at his company. He’s the deputy general manager, after all, and he carries quite a bit of influence among the employees.”
Tim had been staring at Sheena the entire time. When Daria mentioned him, he immediately grinned and suggested, “Since you’re Daria’s friend, you’re a friend of mine too. Let’s
exchange mambers so that we can keep in touch
Daria glared at Tim. She had been with him for two and a half years and was well aware of his flirtatious and promiscuous nature.
“Did I ask you to exchange numbers with her? Are you planning to have some intimate
conversation I shouldn’t know about?” Daria said with a smile, but her gaze sent chills down Tim’s spine.
Tim’s expression changed, and he hastily wrapped his arm around her waist. “Oh, come on! You’re my precious one. Anything I do for her is out of love for you, to make you happy.”
Sheena was starting to get annoyed at their public display of affection.
“It’s fine. You should keep such an outstanding man for yourself,” Sheena interjected.
“Hold on!”
Seeing Sheena about to leave, Daria hurried after her, clearly irked by Tim’s evident interest in her.
Daria had always disliked Sheena for always competing with her, and now she wanted to fight for her man too! The more Daria thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
Then, she added sarcastically, “I was trying to help you out of goodwill, yet you’re acting all high and mighty. Are you financing the car with a loan? Wouldn’t it be better to have a boyfriend help you buy it?”
Sheena frowned, glaring at Daria.
Sheena decided not to engage in Daria’s provocation since Tim was there. Moreover, Sheena and Daria had also been through a lot at the orphanage. Instead, she planned to just buy the car and leave.
After all, they were unlikely to cross paths again anytime soon.
