Lucas leaned back against the seat and asked, “Where exactly are you talking about?”The driver smiled as he continued. He glanced at Lucas through the mirror before explaining, “There is a dealership called Max Luxury Cars. If you want really good luxury cars, that is the place I would recommend. They have some of the most expensive vehicles in the city.”Lucas raised an eyebrow when he heard that. “Max Luxury Cars?” he repeated, quietly taking note of the name.“Yes,” the driver replied confidently. “But sir, let me warn you about something before we get there.”Lucas looked at him with interest. “What is that?”The driver chuckled softly before explaining, “That place is extremely expensive. I am serious. You should not go there if you are not prepared to spend a lot of money.”Lucas smiled at the warning, but he did not say anything immediately. He looked out through the window as the city passed by, listening as the driver continued.“I have taken many passengers there before,”

She was standing only a few steps away, wearing a company T-shirt with the words MAX LUXURY CARS clearly printed across the front. Her appearance made it obvious that she worked at the dealership, but the expression on her face was far from welcoming.She looked Lucas up and down. Her eyes moved from his wet hair to his soaked suit, then down to his dirty shoes before returning to his face.There was obvious irritation in her expression.Lucas frowned slightly.He could understand why she might be concerned about the vehicle being touched with dirty hands, especially considering the expensive cars displayed throughout the showroom. What he did not understand was the way she was speaking to him, as though he had deliberately walked into a place where he had no right to be.Lucas looked at her for a moment before asking calmly, “Why are you speaking to me like that?”The woman folded her arms across her chest and looked at him again.“Because you should not be touching the cars,” she

Maya stepped closer to Lucas with a satisfied smile on her face. She seemed to enjoy the fact that he was standing silently in front of her while several employees and customers watched the situation unfold. She glanced around the showroom before turning toward the employees.“You should all know who this man is,” Maya said, gesturing toward Lucas with a mocking smile. “He is not some wealthy businessman who came here to buy an expensive car.”Several people looked at Lucas with curiosity.Maya continued speaking as she slowly folded her arms.“I actually used to date him,” she explained. “Yes, I was once his girlfriend.”A few of the employees exchanged surprised looks.Maya laughed softly before continuing.“I dated him because I believed things would eventually become better,” she said. “But after spending enough time with him, I realized how useless he was. He had nothing to offer me, and I could not continue building my future around someone who had nothing.”Lucas remained s

Lucas continued standing calmly beside the expensive Rolls-Royce, his hands resting loosely at his sides as he watched Jake struggle to find another excuse. Now that Lucas had challenged him to buy it, however, that confidence had suddenly disappeared.Jake stared at the Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail for several seconds without saying anything. His eyes moved from the vehicle to Lucas and then back to the vehicle again. The thirty-two-million-dollar price tag seemed to be staring directly at him.Lucas noticed his hesitation and calmly raised an eyebrow.“Why are you suddenly hesitating?” Lucas asked, his voice calm enough to make Jake even more uncomfortable. “A few minutes ago, you told everyone that you came here intending to buy this exact car. If that is true, then why are you standing there without saying anything?”Jake’s face tightened as several employees and customers turned their attention toward him.He could feel their eyes watching him.He had been the one boasti

The pressure inside Max Luxury Cars continued to increase as everyone remained focused on Jake.Jake could feel the attention on him. He knew he had to speak carefully.He therefore straightened his back, adjusted his clothes, and forced a confident smile onto his face.“There is nothing wrong with my finances,” Jake said firmly, looking directly at Lucas. “I do not know why you keep trying to suggest otherwise.”As he spoke, he deliberately kept his voice steady. He wanted everyone around him to believe that Lucas’s accusation had not affected him at all. However, his eyes betrayed a small amount of tension whenever they met Lucas’s gaze.Jake continued after taking a slow breath.“The reason I do not want to buy this car anymore has nothing to do with money,” he explained. “I simply do not want the vehicle anymore because you have already ruined the experience for me.”He gestured toward the Rolls-Royce with one hand.“I came here because I wanted to enjoy the process of choosing
