Not a single person was willing to serve Samuel when he walked into the store. He walked around by himself. He wanted the A6 model; other than being able to ferry Yvonne to and from her office, he could use it when he was conducting business negotiations. After all, Yvonne was the project leader of the Westside City project, and it was time for the Toyota at home to be replaced.
Of course, Samuel could buy an even more luxurious car. However, it would be troublesome to explain everything to Yvonne's side of the family if he threw his weight about shamelessly. He was lucky that Yvonne did not question him too much when he bought the entire store yesterday. He would not have known how to explain it otherwise.
He stopped in front of a brand new A6. A salesman quickly approached Samuel.
"We've got the A3 model here, a solid beginner’s car. I can introduce you to it if you're interested," the salesman said.
"When can I get the car if I pay today?" Samuel asked directly.
The salesperson gawked at him. He had assumed that Samuel was here to simply browse through the cars. H e came here on an electric scooter, after all.
"You- Do you want to buy this model? It's the A6," the salesman stammered, uncertainty in his tone.
"It's written right there. I’ll have eyes," Samuel said.
"Sir, have you seen the price?" The salesman did not dare to believe his ears. Every customer who wanted t o buy a car would carefully inquire a string of details about it-the performance of the car, test drive the car, and its price tag. They did not miss discussing such important information. This man though, acted so much without a moment of hesitation that it did not seem real.
"Oh, right. Is there a discount now?" Samuel asked.
"This model is a top-of-the-line hybrid. It doesn't have any special promotions for now since it's a new model," the salesman answered.
"That's fine. Can I have the car by today?”
The salesman did not know whether to laugh or cry. What godly customer was this? Was he trying to pull a prank?
"If you’re really in need of it, sir, I can help you handle the official documents now."
Samuel took out his credit card. "Hurry up then," he said. "It’s best if you can settle it by four. I’ve something important to attend to."
