Sarah smiled genuinely. “Definitely not wrong, Mr. John.” “Familiar with my name already,” John returned her smile. “May I know yours?” He asked. Sarah nodded. “I'm Sarah.” “Sarah,” John reiterated. “That's a nice name,” he said warmly, causing Sarah's cheeks to flush with shyness. Reluctantly, John turned around to address Anthony, who stood there, silently admiring John's communication skill, which he knew was one of the things that every businessman and woman should possess for a sales drive. However, it was so unfortunate that even some business owners don't have it. “I have selected a perfect and sound Mazda 6 for you,” John started respectfully, “please, come with me, let's go and see it.” As they got to where the car was parked in the showroom. “That’s it,” John said, pointing at the car and stepping aside, allowing Anthony to carry out a proper inspection on the car. Anthony nodded before marching forward, his step calm but graceful. The Mazda 6 has

“That's a lie, Sarah,” Anthony disagreed, clearly displeased even though he knew what she said was true. “You don't have to listen to them. That's a clear sign of them trying to depress your spirit.” Anthony held her hands calmly but with emotion. “Yeah, it may be cumbersome like they have said, but that doesn't mean someone is really helping you. You just have a horseshoe up your ass, that's all.” Anthony said everything in his head just to make sure Sarah was convinced. “Or do you probably have anyone working there?” He asked. “No, I don't,” Sarah answered. “You see?” Anthony gently let go of Sarah's hands. “This simply means you're a door opener for others. Just when you got the deal, a new law was added and not just that, it got started with you.” Anthony paused, his voice more persuasive now. “I'd suggest you grab this opportunity now. Not like they will go bankrupt once you accept their offer. They're a very big and powerful company so it's nothing to them even if t

Anthony watched as Sarah drove away. He frowned slightly, though a small smile played on his lips. “Was she being jealous just now?” He mumbled to himself, his voice hardly above a whisper.“That was…..” he paused, not knowing how to piece his words together. A chuckle escaped his mouth.Just then, he saw a cab approaching him. He flagged it down, entered it, and the cab took off.Meanwhile, on her way home, in her car, Sarah's face wasn't bright. Her mind constantly had a rolling thought, and her grip on the steering wheel tightened.“He’s got a girlfriend and didn't bother telling me about it?” She muttered with annoyance, though disbelief crossed her eyes. She paused, a hush breaking out inside the car. As she drives, she shakes her head, recalling that Anthony was just coming out of a harmful marriage with Charlotte.“No, it can't be. He can't be in any relationship so soon, not while he's still trying to recover from a toxic one,” her voice was shaking with firmness. Thus, she d

Anthony raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. “Not ready now,” he said. “Why?” Georgina asked, curiosity in her voice.Anthony shifted slightly on his seat. “I just need to build myself very well before venturing into any relationship leading to marriage.”Georgina raised an eyebrow in perplexity. “But you're wealthy. I mean, look at the house you recently bought,” she said, pointing her finger around the room. “This is over $400k, like you said, if not mistaken. And you even own a car—an expensive Mercedes-Benz at that. You have everything a man should own. You're just complete.”She looked at him very well. “What else do you want or need again?”Anthony smiled faintly, shaking his head. However, he replied thoughtfully. “Yeah, you're right. I'm complete. But I still haven't found someone whom I truly love. That's where the problem is.”He ran his hand through his hair. “I don't want to end up in any toxic marriage anymore. I don't need a lady who will love me because of my money o

“I'm sorry if I'm disturbing your time with your girlfriend. Just wanted to know if you would be free tonight. Will you?” Sarah asked from the other end.Anthony's eyebrows furrowed in surprise at her first sentence. However, he responded deliberately not wanting to keep the conversation long. “Yes. Is there anything wrong?” He asked calmly.“No, not really,” Sarah said, her voice soft. “I just want both of us to see. Maybe, go to the roadside tea shop and have some fun. The time is 8: 00 pm. Is it convenient for you?” “Sure! 8:00 p.m. is perfect. I'm okay with it,” Anthony said, nodding although she couldn't see him. There was a slight noise from the background. It was from Sarah's end. “Why is there so much noise from your end? Are you still on the way?” Anthony asked curiously.“Yes,” Sarah said, “I stopped by a shop to get something for dinner at home.” “Oh, you really must be busy then. I think I'll have to hang up so you can concentrate. Talk with you some other time.” Ant
