Ruby nodded at the sleek black Porsche Panamera Cherise was leaning against. \u201cThat\u2019s the one right there, he said.<\/p>\n
Weldon, grinning from ear to ear, quickly responded, \u201cYou got it. Ms. Lightfoot. I\u2019m on it<\/p>\n
Overhearing this, Lyle got anxious and set the record straight. \u201cWeldon, this car was reserved by Ms. Leach. We can\u2019t just switch things up like this?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich lady reserved it? Did she pay up?\u201d Weldon cut in, his tone sharp.<\/p>\n
Lyle just shook his head, at a loss for words.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo cash, no car,\u201d Weldon proclaimed, his voice filling the room<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2013Lyle started to say, only to be steamrolled by Weldon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the \u2018but\u2018 for? Ms. Lightfoot\u2019s a VIP here. She\u2019s bought more cars than you\u2019ve got suits. Get the paperwork rolling for Ms. Lightfoot, Weldon haiked.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it\u2019s not about who got here first. It\u2019s about who you\u2019re connected to?\u201d Dora\u2019s sarcastic remark drifted in from behind. Weldon, catching the sarcasm, nodded and said, \u201cYou bet, especially for VIPs like Ms. Lightfoot. They get the red carpet<\/p>\n
treatment<\/p>\n
What about me?\u201d Dora asked, stepping into the light.<\/p>\n
Upon seeing Dora, Weldon switched gears, going all out with the brown\u2013nosing. \u201cOh, you, Ms. Xenakis, of course, no\u2026 no problem at all. What brings you here in person?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have known business was done this way if I hadn\u2019t shown up. We were the ones who spotted this car first,\u201d Dora said, her voice unwavering.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, you should own it,\u201d Weldon agreed, nodding furiously with beads of sweat dotting his brow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you? I\u2019m taking this car. End of story,\u201d Ruby insisted, still full of himself.<\/p>\n
Just then, a middle\u2013aged man with a round belly hurried over. It was Blake Sharpe, the founder of Parallel Auto.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, Ms. Xenakis, I\u2019m so sorry for the delay. Which car do you have your eye on? I\u2019ll make sure it\u2019s delivered straight to GlobalVision Group. No need for you to trouble yourself, Blake said, his voice laced with regret.<\/p>\n
As Dora filled Blake in on what had transpired, Blake\u2019s anger ignited. He turned to Weldon and snapped, \u201cYou\u2019re fired. Get lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having ticked off Dora from GlobalVision Group, Weldon knew the game was up and stopped his futile resistance..<\/p>\n
However, Ruby, realizing Dora was the CEO of GlobalVision Group, had a lightbulb moment and hastily tugged Shirley to<\/p>\n
leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoa, whoa, Ruby, what\u2019s the rush?\u201d Shirley asked, looking bewildered.<\/p>\n
Ruby explained, \u201cDon\u2019t you know who that woman next to your sister is?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho?\u201d Shirley replied, her innocence shining through,<\/p>\n
Ruby sighed and said, \u201cYou\u2019re just too naive and too sheltered. That\u2019s Dora, the executive president of ClobalVision Group. Your sister\u2019s not as simple as you think.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chapter 54<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s impossible. Slie\u2019s frogs a small town; there\u2019s no way she knows Dora. You must have heard or seen wrong Shirley said, refusing to accept what was right in front of her.<\/p>\n
Ruby just shook his head, resigning herself to the fact that she\u2019d better steer clear of Cherise in the future.<\/p>\n
After the dust settled, Cherise wrapped up the paper work for her new ride. Before taking off, she had Dora hand Lyle a business card, telling him GlobalVision Group would always have a spot for him. Lyle held the card, staring and grinning like a fool.<\/p>\n
After purchase, Cherise and Dora headed to dine at Mondial Regalia, a renowned seven\u2013star chain in Clusta, which was more than just a place to stay\u2013it was a hub for entertainment, leisure, and top\u2013notch dining. Its culinary offerings consistently topped the global Mich restaurant rankings.<\/p>\n
Nestled on the 90th floor of the Mondial Regalia building, the restaurant offered a corner window seat that Dora had reserved.<\/p>\n
From their vantage point, the summer night skyline of Betrico was a dazzling display of twinkling stars and city lights. Yet, it was Cherise\u2019s radiance that truly stole the show.<\/p>\n
As she entered, Cherise urned heads, drawing the admiring glances of billionaires, nobles, CEOs, and intellectuals, including Morris, who was dining in another corner.<\/p>\n
He had come to Mondial Regalia for an afternoon cross\u2013border shareholder meeting, and with dinnertime rolling around, he decided to grab a bite, only to bump into Cherise unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
As soon as Cherise made her entrance, Morris\u2019s gaze<\/p>\n
was glued to her every move.<\/p>\n
Steven and Leo, following Morris\u2019s line of sight, spotted the exceptionally elegant Cherise right away.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Chivers, it\u2019s Ms. Leach. Should we go say hello!\u201d Steven inquired.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, let Cherise have her meal in peace, Morris replied..<\/p>\n
Mondial Regalia\u2019s Western cuisine was top\u2013notch, especially their steak, which was a limited\u2013edition delight.<\/p>\n
view, savored the tender and juicy steak. The taste was on point, and the view was stunning; she Cherise, gazing at the n was enjoying herself, but it still fell short of the stir\u2013fried beef Morris used to whip up.<\/p>\n
After a bit, a well\u2013dressed, handsome young man approached and said, \u201cExcuse me, would you allow me the honor of buying you a drink?\u201d<\/p>\n
0<\/p>\n
C \u00a0\u2018Cherise can\u2019t drink.
