Chapter 49 Sense Of Superiority
Jonathan didn’t even need to look, for he could recognize the person by her voice.
Sure enough, a young lady strutted out on her high heels before giving Jonathan a disdainful look. “Where is your electric scooter? Did you lose it?” she inquired.
“It’s none of your business!” Jonathan wasn’t in the mood to yak with her.
“How dare you talk to me that way?” the young lady demanded with a scowl. “Josephine, won’t you discipline your dirt poor boyfriend? Look how rude he is!”
“What do you want?” Josephine finally lost it after having to endure the lady’s insults for the entire day.
“What do you mean?” The young lady put on a well-practiced pout. “I’m doing this for your sake, Josephine. You shouldn’t fall for the same trick twice. Haven’t you suffered enough after marrying a penniless loser back then? Now that he’s missing, you got yourself another penniless loser? What else is he good at, except for boasting about himself? I don’t understand why you fell for them!”
It was obvious that the lady had a sense of superiority before Josephine, for she owned a BMW 3 series sedan.
Josephine, on the other hand, had to go home on an old electric scooter.
“No matter what kind of men I choose, it’s none of your business,” Josephine answered in an icy tone. “If you don’t have anything else to say, please get out of my way!”
With that, Josephine swung her head around and stalked away.
“Josephine, why are you in such a hurry?” Her colleague immediately ran after her. “I’m merely commenting on that penniless loser. Why are you upset? My boyfriend is coming to pick me up. Do you need a ride home? He just bought the latest Lamborghini that cost around two million.”
A smug smile played on her lips.
So what if Josephine’s prettier than me? She has to ride a stupid electric scooter!
“No need!” Josephine rejected her offer without hesitation. “I’m going in the other direction!”
“Josephine…”
The colleague was about to say something when she spotted a crowd around a fiery red Lamborghini.
The smooth curves of the car promptly attracted her attention.
“This should be the car my boyfriend bought this afternoon,” the lady blurted out excitedly, assuming that the red Lamborghini belonged to her boyfriend. “Look, Josephine. Isn’t it gorgeous?”
“Yes, it is,” answered Josephine without looking up.
“It cost over two million. No wonder it’s gorgeous,” her colleague announced smugly. Taking Josephine’s arm, she invited, “Come on, Josephine. Let’s go take a look at my boyfriend’s new car. I bet you’ve never taken a ride in such an expensive sports car. Do you want to experience it later?”
Jonathan shook his head and chuckled, for she didn’t bother hiding her sense of superiority
“No need!” Josephine rejected her offer and turned to leave. Suddenly, Jonathan blocked her way and said, “Yes, Darling. She’s right. Let’s try it out. If you like it, I’ll buy one for you!”
He’ll buy one for her?
The young lady nearly puked in disgust at his words.
“That car costs over two million. Can you even afford it?” she sneered, her voice full of disdain.
“Jonathan!” Josephine’s brows furrowed up at once. “What are you doing? Isn’t this embarrassing enough?”
After being teased all day long in her office, all she wanted was to go home.
Why did Jonathan agree with her suggestion?
“It won’t take long. What if you take a liking to it?” Jonathan flashed a smile before striding over to the red Lamborghini. The young lady stared at his retreating figure and snickered. She took Josephine’s arm and strutted after him. “He’s right. Even if you can’t afford it, at least try out the seats in an expensive car.”
She promptly shooed the crowd away. “Get lost. Move away from the car. If you make a scratch, can you afford to cough up the compensation? Hey, you! That’s right, you! Get your hand off the car! Don’t touch it!”
Once the lady reached the car, she acted as though she was the owner and chased all the spectators away.
After the crowd dispersed, she reached out for the door handle. However, it refused to budge when she tried pulling at it.
“Huh? Where is my boyfriend?” she inquired, glancing around the area. “Did he hide somewhere to give me a surprise?”
Alas, her boyfriend was nowhere to be seen.
Right then, the spectators who she had told to scram earlier began sneering, “Are you putting up an act? This car isn’t yours, right?”
“Ha! Look at her. Does she look like she can afford this car?”
“How dare she ask us to scram? She should be the one who leaves!”
“Let her continue with her act. I’m curious to see how she’ll get into the car!”
The crowd’s sarcastic comments caused the lady’s expression to fall. She promptly placed her hands on her hips and declared, “What are you talking about? I can’t afford this car? Don’t you know how much it costs? Over two million! Can you afford it? You’re merely penniless scumbags who know nothing!”
Right after she said that a loud roar belonging to that of a sports car came toward them.
Soon, a green Lamborghini rolled to a stop beside them.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a belly and receding hairline stepped out.
“Darling!”
The young lady leaped into his embrace and flung her arms around his huge belly. “Darling, why did you buy two Lamborghinis?” she asked in a coquettish tone.
“Two cars?” the middle-aged man repeated in confusion. “What do you mean? I have only bought one!”
“Huh?” The lady’s expression turned downcast in an instant. She pointed at the red Lamborghini and asked, “Darling, you didn’t buy this Lamborghini?”
“Of course not,” the man replied as he glanced at the red Lamborghini. At once, his eyes widened in shock. “Is this that worldwide limited edition Lamborghini sports car?”
