Chuck Cannon was still indulging in his satisfaction after he blocked Lara Jean's number. This was something the old Chuck couldn't bring himself to do. Now that he was financially stable, he felt like he had choices.
He needed to go to the car management office to apply for his car plate permits tomorrow, but considering that his car had been scratched by Queenie Carson not long ago, he still had to contact Charlotte Yates, the salesperson responsible for it. Chuck sent her a text about his inquiry immediately.
Charlotte replied almost instantly, "Mr. Cannon, please send your car to our center and we'll have a look at it."
Since Chuck was the person that made her the target of envy at work on the first day she started this job, she had a strong impression of Chuck from the very start. It could even be said that she was constantly waiting for Chuck to send her a message.
"How much?" Chuck asked.
"Approximately twenty thousand dollars."
"No problem. I'll come either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Chuck replied.
"Okay."
Chuck put down his phone, took a shower, and went to bed. The next morning, he brought the car to the 4S Automobile Store to be serviced by Charlotte. It was just a minor scratch, but it would still take some time. He definitely couldn't use the car today anymore, so he had to wait until tomorrow. Chuck parked the car properly and was about to leave.
"Sir, why don't I give you a ride?" Charlotte said sincerely.
Being professional and attentive to an important client could reap benefits far and wide. Her manager had been preaching hard about this constantly, telling her that she should attend to Chuck's needs no matter what it was. Charlotte kept those words in her heart.
"It's okay, thank you for the offer." Chuck shook his head politely with a smile and walked to the roadside to hail a taxi.
Charlotte felt a little discouraged. She even dolled up herself, hoping that he would notice. Since this did not work, she promptly urged the mechanic to fix his car by today. She was determined to give Chuck a surprise.
However, as soon as she turned around, she received a phone call, her cousin's name seen on the display. Charlotte picked up the phone, "Hello, Lara Jean..."
"Cousin, could you lend me some money?"
Lara still had six thousand dollars of debt weighing her down. Her cousin was her last hope. She knew that her cousin just started her job recently, but she really had no other alternatives.
"Okay, how much do you need?" Charlotte wasted no time in answering her cousin's prayers. After all, she earned some handsome commission from the sales of the car to Chuck.
"Wow, cousin, did you make a lot of money?" Lara detected the ease in her voice and was envious.
"No, I just managed to sell a car a few days ago." Charlotte laughed as she explained.
"Is it a very expensive car?"
"Yes, it's very expensive."
"Is the buyer a bald middle-aged man?" Lara giggled. To her, she always thought that only those guys were able to afford expensive cars.
"No, he's very young. He seems to be a student." Charlotte looked into the distance where Chuck had left and a grin appeared on her face. He really gave her a deep impression!
"Wow, a student? He might be from a wealthy family. How does he look like?" Lara asked curiously.
"As the saying goes, clothes make the man. He did not wear anything fancy but you can feel his charisma seeping through the clothes. He would look handsome if he had shorter hair." Charlotte recalled the day she first met Chuck. Even now, it was still hard for her to believe that he could afford such an expensive car.
"Really? Can you introduce him to me?" Lara's voice lighted up with anticipation instantly. She had just broken up with Conrad Lee and was looking for a rich kid as his replacement. Her cousin Charlotte must have the guy's WeChat contact right? With her alluring figure, she had confidence in herself to lure in this wealthy young man.
"Well, this..." Charlotte hesitated. To be honest, who wouldn't like a rich and young man? Otherwise, she wouldn't have wasted time to dress up today.
"Oh, cousin, just give me his contact." Lara pleaded like a spoiled child.
Charlotte was left with no choice and conceded, "I can give you his contact, but promise me not to harass him okay!"
"Got it. Send it to me as soon as possible."
"Alright, by the way, how much do you want to borrow? I'll transfer it to you now."
"Six thousand dollars!"
"What? Six thousand dollars? What do you need so much money for?"
"It's all because of this one jerk, but I really don't want to bring this up right now. Cousin, please send me the rich guy's contact soon, and also the money too."
"Alright."
Charlotte was speechless with Lara but decided to help her.
