Maya suddenly let out a heavy sigh as she sat beside Jake on the sofa.

The cheerful conversation about the new house immediately faded from her mind when she remembered what had happened the previous night.

Her expression changed, and the smile that had been on her face disappeared.

"Actually, there is something I do not understand," Maya said as she looked from Jake to her parents. "Why is everyone acting as though nothing happened yesterday?"

Maya's mother glanced at her with confusion.

    The showroom, which had been filled with laughter only moments earlier, suddenly fell silent.The employees who had mocked Lucas could no longer bring themselves to look directly at him. Some lowered their heads, while others stood frozen behind their desks, hoping Max would forget that they had participated in the humiliation.Unfortunately for them, Max had no intention of ignoring what had happened.He turned toward his employees, his expression dark with anger.“Is this how you treat customers in my dealership?” he demanded.Nobody answered.Max looked from one employee to another, his anger growing when he saw how quickly they had all become quiet.“Just a few minutes ago, you were laughing at Mr. Reed. You mocked him, questioned his ability to purchase a vehicle, and treated him as though he had no right to be here. Now that you know who he is, none of you can even look him in the eye?” Max asked.The employees remained silent.“Answer me!” Max shouted.One of the sales represe

    Annabelle was still enjoying the situation, convinced that Lucas was about to face the consequences of his actions.She glanced at him and shook her head mockingly.“You should probably start preparing to leave,” she said. “Mr. Stones isn't the kind of person who tolerates people causing trouble in his dealership. Once he gets here, I doubt you'll have another opportunity to explain yourself.”A few employees laughed but Lucas didn't respond.He simply stood beside the Rolls-Royce, waiting patiently.Meanwhile, upstairs, Max Stones was already hurrying toward the staircase.The moment Lucas had introduced himself over the phone, Max had struggled to believe what he was hearing.Lucas Reed.Max had never imagined that the man himself would appear at his dealership without any prior notice.Even now, as he hurried downstairs, he could hardly believe that Lucas was actually standing inside his showroom.An employee who happened to see him rushing toward the stairs quickly approached.“Si

    Lucas didn't argue with Annabelle.Instead, he calmly reached into his pocket and brought out his phone.The laughter around him continued as several employees and customers watched, expecting him to make an excuse or finally admit that he had no intention of purchasing the Rolls-Royce.Lucas ignored them.His attention shifted to the sign mounted on the showroom wall. It displayed the name of the dealership and the owner's contact number.He glanced at the number, entered it into his phone, and pressed the call button.At first, nobody paid much attention to what he was doing.However, when a few seconds passed and they realized that Lucas was actually making a call, the laughter gradually began to fade.Annabelle noticed the number on his screen and her eyes widened slightly when she recognized it.He was calling Max Stones, the owner of Max Luxury Cars.For a brief moment, she stared at Lucas before a mocking smile spread across her face."Everyone, why don't we let him finish his

    Lucas eventually turned away from the customers and looked toward Annabelle, who was still standing behind the sales desk.“Miss Annabelle, I want you to prepare the ownership documents for the Rolls-Royce. I've decided to purchase it.” Lucas said calmly.Annabelle stared at him.For a moment, she wondered whether she had heard him correctly.Then her expression hardened.“Are you serious?” she asked incredulously. “After everything that just happened, you're still trying to continue this drama?”Lucas remained calm.“I don't see what's so dramatic about asking to purchase a car. Please prepare the documents.” Lucas said.Annabelle let out a short, mocking laugh.“You want me to prepare the ownership documents?” She asked.“Yes.” Lucas said simply.She looked him up and down, her expression filled with disbelief.“Do you think I'm a fool?” she demanded. “I just watched a man who claimed to have eight hundred million dollars in his account fail to purchase this car. That same man ended

    The buyer's car had barely disappeared from sight when Maya finally lost the patience she had been struggling to maintain.Her face burned with embarrassment as she realized that several customers were still watching them. Their whispers filled the showroom, and although she couldn't make out every word, she knew they were talking about Jake and the humiliating incident they had just witnessed.She had had enough.Maya grabbed Jake's hand and pulled him toward the showroom entrance.“Come on. We're leaving.” she said.“What are you doing?” Jake turned toward her in surprise.“Do you want to stand here all night while these people continue talking about us?” she demanded, tightening her grip on his hand. “Let's go.”Jake glanced over his shoulder at the customers.He hated the thought of leaving under these circumstances. He had come to Max Luxury Cars intending to look at the cars, and now he was leaving with his reputation badly damaged.But Maya wasn't giving him much of a choice.

    Mr. Bennett took out his phone and glanced at the screen before looking directly at Jake.“I want you to understand something clearly. Like I said earlier I've kept records of this transaction. I have the payment confirmation, our messages, and the voice recording in which you confirmed that I could collect the car this evening.”“I've already agreed to let you take the car. What else do you want?” Jake's expression changed.“Nothing else. I'm simply making sure you understand that the transaction is documented. If you later decide to deny our agreement or claim that I took your vehicle without permission, I have evidence to support my account.” Mr. Bennett stated.“Do you honestly think I would do something like that?” Jake said through clenched teeth.Mr. Bennett gave him a long look.“After everything that has happened today, I don't know what to expect from you.” Mr. Bennett said.Several customers exchanged glances.Jake felt his face grow hot.“I never expected this situation to
