With trembling hands, Porsha took the white transparent envelope from Roland's hand.
Seeing the scene, Antony rolled his eyes in obvious disagreement, "Come on, Ma'am Porsha, there is no need to look at those fake papers. I mean just look at him, does he look like someone who could afford a 180,000 Global Dollars car?"
In his opinion, there was truly no need for Porsha to look at the documents at all. First, she already stated that the Budi R8 Coupe was already bought by someone else. Second, although Roland was handsome and neat to the eyes, he was only wearing a common shirt and pants that could be seen getting worn by common folks every day.
And besides, who could afford a 180,000 Global Dollar car? As the son of Fore City's fifth councilor, how could he not know the faces of wealthy people in Fore City? He has already met a lot of influential figures in Fore City, including the younger generations like him, but Roland was not among them.
Heck, even he, who has the backing of his father, would not careless buy a fifty thousand Global Dollar car, how much more a car that was priced over a hundred thousand? After all, even twenty thousand dollars could already start a proper business. Would his father even allow him to squander that much money?
In fact, he was only here because of Budi Q2 which cost 19,000 Global Dollar, and he won't pay it full, but in installments. And even that, he actually begged his father day and night just to get a hold of the down payment which was only 2,000 Global Dollars.
"Ma'am Porsha, about this? I'm here to buy the Budi Q2, if you're willing to lower the down payment a little to 1,500 Global Dollars, I'll immediately sign the installment contract?" As he said that, Antony could not help but look at Janine at the corner of his eyes.
In his opinion, for Janine to be here, she must also like cars, and guys who have cars. He just mentioned that he will buy the Budi Q2, she should be impressed by now, right?
However, not to mention Janine, even Porsha did not stop to listen to his nonsense.
Her hand was trembling as she took the documents from the envelope one by one. She read the documents pages after pages, and the more she read, the more her heart thumped like a wild trumpet.
"I-it's true," she stated as she returned the documents to Roland.
"Well, that's obvious, isn't it? This guy is only boasting- wait what did you just say?" Antony was just gloating earlier when he suddenly realized that Porsha had said something a little… surprising.
"It's true! He's the owner of this Budi R8 Coupe," Porsha said, confirming Roland's identity.
Antony hissed back in surprise after hearing that, "B-but you just said earlier that this Budi car was already sold right?"
As if she could not take it anymore, Porsha rolled her eyes towards Antony, "Isn't that obvious? It just means that Sir Roland was the owner that I was talking about."
This time, her tone as she mentioned Roland's name was already vastly different from earlier. It was now filled with respect, and in fact, instead of calling him kid or young man, she was now referring to him in a respectful manner.
Porsha looked at Antony's face and could not help but feel irritated about him. If not for this guy being a busybody, the matter would have not blown up like this.
Now, not only was she embarrassed about her previous action, but it was also apparent that she had already taken the ire of Sir Roland and his partner. Regret filled her face as she looked at Antony who was still speechless by the sudden revelation.
All of a sudden, Porsha's eyes suddenly lit up with a bright gleam.
"You, get out of my, and Sir Roland's face. I only entertain cash buyers, go look at another employee if you want to take the installment plan!" She rolled her eyes at him as she felt a little better.
Antony was getting on Roland's nerves earlier, his opinion towards her should have increased again by now, right?
She then recalled Janine who got quite worked up earlier. As if seeing a breakthrough point, she turned to look at her and said with a flattering voice, "Ma'am, you truly trust your man a lot. It must have been nice accompanying a capable man like him, right?"
As they said, flattery was the best way to get closer to a customer's heart.
Janine visibly blushed at Porsha's remark, "H-he's not my man. I'm just… I'm just his driver!"
Porsha was taken aback after hearing that. She's just the driver? But why do they seem so close? A thought suddenly crossed her mind as a knowing smile appeared on her lips.
"I see, I see. I get it now. You must be a good driver for him to like you, right?" She said with a giggle, slightly nudging Janine's arm.
"Yes, she is indeed a good driver," Roland, oblivious to what she truly meant, answered without any hesitation.
Janine was truly a good driver… Her skills were even above his a little.
"Alright, let's sign the documents now, we're in a hurry!" He continued.
Thinking that she was already spared, Porsha heaved a sigh of relief as she led Roland and Janine to a table to sign the documents.
As for the others, they had long scattered away from the scene, afraid that Porsha would turn around and beat them up instead.
As for Antony, he has quietly left the Budi Store Branch. His face was red in embarrassment at Porsha's remark.
'How dare that old hag talk to me like that! If not for her marrying this branch's manager, would she even land in that position she was in now?'
'And that guy named Roland, just who is he? It's the first time I saw him, how could be that rich with that kind of get up? Is he colluding with that old hag to embarrass me?'
Thinking of that, Antony's face turned into that of anger.
