"My car? Hmm...I always believed that it's just a means of transportation, so I bought a normal car, an Audi R8,” Darryl answered, under the pressure of everyone's gaze.
He was not wrong. An Audi R8 was entry-level among all the top sports cars in the world. But it was not just a normal car.
Wow!
An uproar filled the room again. Everyone looked at him in disbelief that they thought they must have misheard.
At the same time, both Samantha and Lily almost choked on their tea.
'How did he dare to say this? His boss lent him this car, and now he claimed it belonged to him? This guy has thick skin,’ both of them thought.
Jimmy was startled. 'An Audi R8? The asking price was almost two million dollars! Was he faking it?'
"Oh Samantha, you're so nice to your son-in-law to have bought him such a nice car," Melanie smiled, recovering from the shock, as she mocked Darryl and Samantha.
Of course, she did not believe Darryl could afford an Audi R8. It must have been a gift from Samantha to make herself look better. After all, Daryl was just a useless nobody. 1
Samantha pulled on a straight face and did not respond.
However, Darryl spoke up and said calmly, "My mother -in-law didn't give me this car. My boss did."
'Hahaha! What a joke!' Everyone was trying their hardest not to laugh. A few ladies, however, could not contain it and burst out laughing.
'Darryl was such a joke! The car did not even belong to him. Haha! Was he a comedian? Funny guy!' everyone thought.
By then, Samantha's face had darkened to the point that she needed a hole to hide into. Yet, Darryl was not finished speaking. "Actually, the car belongs to me now. My boss was so impressed by me that he gifted m e with the car."
'What? Why would a boss give his employee an Audi R 8?'
Everyone was in shock and confused.
"May I know which company you work for that has such good benefits?" Jimmy asked.
Darryl glanced at him with an unbothered look. "Just a small company."
Jimmy was not convinced, but he did not want to continue the conversation either. Darryl was too much of a liar.
