Ethan and Grace followed, getting into the back seat one after the other.
They closed the doors, their gazes fixed forward the entire time.
They had no intention of greeting Marjorie.
As if she had just noticed them, Marjorie hurried over to the driver's side window. "West, what a coincidence," she said, peering through the glass.
West had intended to pretend he hadn't seen her, but she had greeted him first.
He had no choice, so he gave her a curt nod in acknowledgment.
Then he fastened his seatbelt and prepared to start the car.
Marjorie was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered, bending down to flash a sweet smile.
"West, is this your new car?"
West gave a simple "Mmm" and quickly rolled up the window, shutting her out.
Marjorie's smile froze on her face as she stood there, dumbfounded.
She watched the car drive further and further away, only moving out of the way when a car behind her honked.
West bought a car!
She recognized the brand. The base price had to be over sixty thousand dollars.
Sixty thousand dollars!
Her mind automatically processed the number.
How long had The Tasting Room been open?
Three months? Four months?
She suddenly remembered what she had once told her friends.
"West? That chef? How much could he possibly make? His entire monthly salary probably wouldn't even cover one of my skincare sets. A single cash gift from Clark is more than he makes in a year."
And now, where was Clark?
The man who had promised to take her traveling around the world hadn't responded to her messages in ages.
And West…
West was driving a new car worth over forty thousand dollars.
