Stella was stunned as she said, “Full… full payment? It costs 5.46 million dollars…”
Oliver nodded. He replied calmly, “Yes. I know it will cost me 5.46 million dollars. Why should I get a loan for such a small amount of money? Besides, I have a bad memory, so it’s troublesome for me to repay the loan every month.”
The mention of the 5.46 million dollars being a small amount shocked Stella, for it was unknown whether she could even earn that amount in her lifetime.
After Stella left to prepare the documents, a few other saleswomen served Oliver coffee, snacks, and beverages.
Oliver looked at them and found that they were the ones who had been prevaricating at the front desk earlier. He was sure that these women were all regretting their actions now.
Thoughts rushed through their minds, “Six luxurious cars! The more expensive the cars are, the higher the commission! Moreover, this young man didn’t bother to bargain with Stella after she told him the price. He merely told Stella that he would buy these cars in total amount using his card. Even though this customer rejected the option to pay with a loan, thus causing Stella to lose her loan servicing fee, the man didn’t haggle the price. With that high commission, Stella will be the top sales this month! Oh, how I regret not serving this man earlier!”
Sienna noticed these women acting flirtatiously before Oliver. She furrowed her brows and said to Oliver, “Darling, I’m thirsty. Can you pour me some drinks?”
Momentarily stunned, Oliver pointed at the untouched beverages that these saleswomen sent over before. “They are just right over there.”
Sienna replied calmly, “I only want to drink it if you’re the one who poured it. Can you pour some for me, please? Darling!”
Sienna’s sweet words melted Oliver’s heart simultaneously as it terrified him because speaking coyly was not Sienna’s usual behavior.
Oliver hurriedly got up. “Okay! I’ll go get you some drinks.”
Upon hearing Oliver’s response, Sienna held her chin high and made a provocative gesture at those saleswomen.
Meanwhile, the ladies were evidently astonished by Sienna’s beauty as they ran away in embarrassment. They thought, “We’ve made the wrong decision!”
Fabian and the others were excitedly browsing through the crowds of luxurious cars. They joined Oliver and Sienna only after Stella returned.
As soon as Fabian saw Sienna, he smiled at her. He thought it was strange that the two were still here after Sienna had taken away Oliver. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
After noticing everyone was gathered around him, Oliver introduced Sienna after a slight hesitation, “Let me introduce you officially. This is Ms. Kaiserman… my girlfriend.”
Sienna glanced at the five women, including Yvonne, and said to Oliver casually, “Why do you still refer to me as Ms. Kaiserman? All right. I need to head home to discuss something with my parents. I’ll call you later.”
“Wait!” Oliver hurriedly stopped her and handed her the key to another Rolls-Royce Cullinan. “Take this car. One for you, one for me. We drive cars of the same brand, so your parents will feel more comfortable while traveling.”
Sienna wanted to refuse, but when she saw the stunned expressions on Fabian’s and the five women’s faces, she stopped herself. She took the car key and walked away elegantly while saying, “Okay. I have no choice but to accept the car if you insist.”
After Sienna walked away smugly, Fabian and the rest started bombarding Oliver with questions.
“Mr. Eastwood, what’s going on?”
“Mr. Eastwood, what are you up to?”
Yvonne didn’t hide her jealousy as she asked, “Mr. Eastwood, how… how long has it been since you last saw her? How did you fall in love with her? Were you deceived by her?”
Oliver’s face darkened. He snorted coldly. “This is my personal matter. Please don’t interfere with it. Sienna is my girlfriend. We have decided to get married soon. As my employee, do not say anything that shouldn’t be said!”
“Girlfriend? And you guys are getting married soon?” Not just Yvonne but everyone was taken aback by Oliver’s
announcement.
Oliver ignored them. He took the car key and left, thinking, “Even though Sienna is a straightforward woman, she is worthy of my love. Unfortunately, she only has 78 days left to live. What should I do about that?”
Oliver drove the Cullinan, plastered with a temporary license to the hospital while thinking about mentioning his impending marriage with Sienna to his parents.
After parking his car, he took the elevator to the inpatient building and ran into Joanna.
“Oliver? Why are you here?”
Oliver halted in his tracks. “Where are you going?”
Joanna said, “Dad has been recovering well after his surgery. I’ve been ordering food from the hotel’s restaurant because I fear he will be malnourished.”
Oliver grabbed Joanna’s hand and pulled her toward where she came from. “Forget that. I’ll bring you guys out for a meal.”
“We’re eating out?” Joanna found Oliver’s suggestion bizarre. She thought, “Oliver has been busy making money lately. How come he thought of bringing us out for a meal suddenly?”
When they arrived at the ward, Calista was making honey water, and Jason was doing sitting exercises with his eyes glued to the television.
“Dad, Mom,” Oliver greeted his parents while he scanned Jason’s face. The older man’s face was rosy, indicating that he’s returned from Grim Reaper.
When Jason saw that Oliver had arrived, he propped himself up properly with a smile. “Oh, you are here. I wanted to let you know that I’m ready to be discharged. Since all I need to do is rest, I prefer resting at home because staying in the hospital is quite boring,”
“Okay! As long as the doctor doesn’t object to your suggestion and that you’re well,” Oliver agreed. Then, he glanced at his parents while softening his voice, “Dad, Mom, I… I have something to tell you.”
Jason, Calista, and Joanna immediately became nervous when they noticed Oliver’s hesitance. They asked quickly, “What happened?”
When he saw their worried expressions, Oliver knew that they had misunderstood the situation. He waved his hands. “Don’t worry. It’s not a bad thing. I… I have a girlfriend!”
“You have a girlfriend?”
The three of them stared at him in surprise, especially Joanna. She wanted to introduce her classmate Sienna to Oliver before, but Sienna didn’t seem to be attracted to Oliver, so there was that.
Joanna mused, “Wow. It didn’t take long for Oliver to find a girlfriend.”
The first person who spoke was Jason. “A girlfriend? That’s great news!”
Calista asked worriedly, “Oliver, does your girlfriend know about your dad and our family’s situation?”
“She is aware of everything. Don’t worry. She is not the kind of girl who values money and family background over everything else.” Oliver smiled, comforting Calista, “Besides, her parents will meet you guys tonight. You guys go out with me, buy a set of clothes first, and then, we will find a restaurant to meet them.”
“Meet her parents?” Jason and Calista panicked because the matter was too sudden.
Oliver supported Jason while waving Calista and Joanna over. “Let’s go! We don’t have much time left. If we delay any longer,
we will be late.”
Jason and Calista were both shocked by the news from Oliver. Afraid that they would delay the meeting, the couple quickly
went out with Oliver.
Oliver pressed the elevator button to get to the underground parking lot.
