Eliza clung tightly to Hudson, sneering, "Honey, this guy is my coworker. He likes to borrow cars and show off to pick up girls. It's so annoying!"
Hudson smacked his lips and let out a few cold laughs. "Can't even afford a decent car. What kind of man is that?"
"Sweetheart, you should avoid people like him. It's embarrassing to be associated with such lowlifes!"
Smooch!
Eliza nodded obediently and gave Hudson a kiss on his chubby cheek. "Got it, darling!""You're the best. We just met yesterday, and today you're already taking me to buy a BMW Z4. I love you so much!"
Hudson looked at Berloff Reed and deliberately smacked Eliza's firm backside. "Babe, you worked so hard last night, making me feel so good."
"Haha, a BMW is nothing!"
"As long as you're with the right person, there's nothing you can't get!"
Eliza leaned her head on Hudson's shoulder, looking smug. "You're absolutely right, darling!"
"Unlike some broke losers who ride electricscooters and still dare to show off and deceive people. It's so embarrassing!"
"Compared to you, those jerks are like maggots in a pit, utterly disgusting!"
That day, after a coworker gathering, Eliza had willingly gotten into the Audi A4 that Berloff Reed was driving.
Everyone witnessed the scene unfold.
It turned out that the shiny Audi was just borrowed by Berloff Reed.
When Eliza got in the car, she took a few photos and flaunted them on social media.
A little while later, Berloff's revelation hit her hard, leaving her fuming.Frustrated, she went to a bar to drink and ended up catching the eye of Hudson, a wealthy, sleazy man known for his flings.
Last night, they hooked up, and today Hudson was already planning to buy her a BMW Z4 as a gift.
Hudson's lavish generosity only made Eliza despise Berloff even more.
At this moment, Berloff faced Eliza's sarcastic remarks with complete indifference, feeling nothing but relief.
Tsk tsk, Eliza always acted so innocent and pure at the office.
Who knew she was so easy outside?Meeting someone and hooking up the same night—she was like a public bus.
Thank goodness I didn't get involved with her yesterday, or I'd feel dirty.
Seeing Berloff rendered speechless by her taunts, Eliza felt triumphant.
"Ha! Berloff, got nothing to say in front of Hudson, huh?"
"Fine, go ride your scooter and get lost!"
"Just wait, I'll be driving out in a brand new BMW Z4. Make sure you don't get in my way, got it?" Berloff Reed crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"A BMW Z4? You have the nerve to drivesuch an entry-level sports car that starts at only fifty grand?" Eliza's eyes widened, her anger making her jump three feet high. "Oh, and by the way, that car is known as the mistress's car. It suits you perfectly!"
Eliza was furious. Berloff was right; she was indeed a mistress now. Hudson, with his fat face and big ears, was wealthy, influential, and came from a prestigious family. Of course, he was married. She had noticed his wedding ring the day they met and knew exactly what she was getting into.
The gold-digging Eliza didn't care about that one bit. But being looked down upon by someone like Berloff, who sheconsidered a loser, was something she couldn't tolerate.
"You broke loser, you can't even afford one wheel of that car, and you dare to show off in front of me?" Eliza pointed at Berloff's nose, screaming hysterically. Her crazed demeanor made Berloff want to laugh.
"Haha, a BMW?" Berloff chuckled. "Sorry, but I don't care for such low-end cars!" He deliberately glanced at the fat-faced Hudson.
"Can't even afford a million-dollar supercar? What kind of man are you?" Hudson sneered, his anger turning into a mocking laugh. "Kid, you've got some nerve!""Riding around on an electric scooter every day and still talking big. Are you out of your mind or just delusional?"
Berloff Reed smiled calmly. "Sorry, riding the scooter was just my family's way of keeping me low-key."
"Thanks to someone knocking some sense into me last night!"
"I wanted to experience a normal relationship, but all I got was humiliation."
"Well, I'm done pretending!"
"Look, there are seven top-tier supercars at World Auto Dealership. I just bought them."
"I'm here to pick them up. From now on, I'lldrive a different one each day of the week!"
Eliza was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke ever.
"Hahaha..."
"Berloff Reed, have you lost your mind? How dare you make such outrageous claims?"
Hudson threw his head back and laughed. "Kid, it's a shame you're not a comedian!"
"I've never seen someone so shameless in my life!"
Berloff smiled slightly, about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.The place was quiet, and Berloff could hear the ringtone clearly. He finally answered the call.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Is this Mr. Berloff Reed?"
A crisp, melodious voice came through the phone's speaker, sounding like a confident woman.
"Yes, it's me. You've called me several times. Is there something you need?"
"Mr. Berloff!" Emily, who had finally reached him, tried to contain her excitement and spoke with utmost respect. "I deeply apologize for the previous reception atWorld Auto Dealership. Our staff was unaware of your esteemed status and may have been disrespectful. As the general manager, I sincerely apologize to you."
Berloff chuckled. "It's not that serious. Anyway, I'm already at your dealership's entrance."
"Just make sure to be more welcoming this time!"
Emily was taken aback. "What? Mr. Berloff, you're already at our store entrance?"
"Please wait a moment. I'll come out to greet you personally!"
After hanging up the phone, Berloff turnedto Hudson and Eliza with a mischievous smile.
"So, you both are so sure I can't afford a supercar from here?"
"What will you say if I end up buying one?"
Hudson scoffed. "If you can afford a multi-million-dollar supercar, I'll take your last name!"
"Exactly!" Eliza swore as well. "If you can come up with that kind of money, I'll call you Dad right here and now!"
Berloff Reed scrunched his face in disgust. "Absolutely not!"
"Our Reed family has a spotless reputation.If we had troublemakers like you, our ancestors would jump out of their graves in anger!"
He smiled and suggested, "How about this? If you lose the bet, each of you has to shout three times, 'I'm a pig,' right here on the spot!"
Eliza scoffed, "Us lose? Keep dreaming!"
Click, click, click...
At that moment, a stunning woman in a fitted white business suit and red high heels, accompanied by a young woman in a uniform, came running over, slightly out of breath."Mr. Reed!"
"We're honored by your visit. We're so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"
