Bryan patted Linnet's back after she drank the water and washed everything down then whispered in her ears : "Does that mean that I'm being scammed in this deal?" He asked then showed her a teasing smile before saying out loud : "What colors do you like? Love..." Bryan intentionally stressed the st word while looking her directly in the eyes.

  Linnet on the other hand felt like she's going to melt under the scorching gaze full of unspoken passion and sweltering emotions, "I-I like these colors of bck and blue, how about you?" Instead of waiting until his fires burned her she decided to distract him instead.

  "For me it's the white Ford F-150 Raptor R, and that bck S-Css over there but since you've wetted my appetite then I'm also taking that blue Wraith and that red ZR1 Corvette over there. Keep the st two tucked away in your garage for me until I ask for them Mr Charles." Bryan said before getting up since Linnet finished the apple pie and the sun disappeared, "Let's take care of finalizing the payment quickly since I still have a meeting 45 minutes from now, also make sure our driver is ready with the car in the garage." He stood next to Linnet hand in hand and Riley quickly stood next to her friend and kept nudging her with her elbow mischievously.

  Her pair of intelligent eyes were sparkling after seeing the two cars Bryan just bought for her friend and kept imagining the kind of fun both of them are going to have while riding them, but Riley kept frowning after remembering that Linnet is going to be accompanied by a guard and allocated a driver which confused her a lot once she tried to find an answer to why go through all the trouble to begin with?

  Charles nodded and gestured towards the small flight of stairs leading to his office while saying : "Please wait in my office while I prepare the papers and make a few calls," Then gestured to one of his employees and said : "Call David and have him leave whatever he's doing and come over, tell him he have 15 minutes or he's sent back to the woods." After saying that Charles took his phone and dialed one of his contacts : "Hey old bastard, I need seven drivers and eight guards of your finest and by that I mean the best of all best by tomorrow morning. I'm cutting all ties if you make me lose face and I mean it." After hanging up he looked at his employees which were doing other than simply watch him then snapped at them : "Get the papers ready and send these four cars downstairs and have these two sent to my garage, move your asses!"

  Charles got in the office and said with an awkward smile on his face : "Sorry you had to see that circus act Mr Bryan."

  Bryan shrugged then turned his eyes towards the beautiful secretary which arrived with some files and offered them to Charles who took them then put them on his desk and opened the first one and flipped through the papers twice then nodded.

  "These are the papers for the blue G-Css, market price is 146,800 but let's even the numbers and call it 145 thousand Mr Bryan." Charles said while switching on his merchants senses and studied Bryan's expression to the tiniest of details.

  "Here." Bryan swiped his phone to scan the code on the papers then swiped his phone once again on the small machine on Charles's desk then confirmed the payment on his bank app without checking the numbers before looking towards Linnet and said with a smile : "Be honest dear. How excited are you for your first car?"

  "Uh... V-very excited of course!" Linnet wasn't expecting to be included in the conversation between these two but she tightened her hand around Riley's hand when she said that.

  "Good. Come sign the papers then." Bryan said while pushing the file towards the opposite chair and gestured for her to come take a seat and sign the file and once Linnet did sign them under the eted eyes of her friend Riley she looked up and saw this lovely face giving her an approving nod and a smile while saying : "Congratution. You now own your first car and you can take it everywhere you want and sell it whenever you want."

  "J-just like that?" Linnet asked in disbelief but she received a notification on her phone which confirmed that fact.

  Charles just smiled before pushing the second file after double checking that nothing is missing, "These are the papers for the Phantom, market price is-"

  "Even if you're trying to court my friendship Mr Charles I still hate to take advantage of you so... let's do our business with the normal market to benefit your establishment and please your employees with some incentives to work even harder for you in the future." Bryan cut him off because he doesn't feel like pying this game since he's more than wealthy by normal standards and urgently needs to save time.

  "Alright." Charles nodded while giving his excited secretary a stern look as a warning to compose herself then opened his mouth to say : "964,000 is the price for this modified Phantom which comes with many modifications including the reinforced impact-proof body and bulletproof gss."

  Bryan once again did a round of scans and confirmed the payment which the secretary nodded to confirm receiving the money on her side.

  Linnet felt like she's in some sort of a dream after seeing this fellow pay almost a million on a single car to gift her while having the happiest smile on his face as she signed the papers and checked the notification on her phone in a daze while going back to sit next to Riley who was so agitated like a monkey in heat!

  "870,000 is the price of the Wraith, top of the range coupe with bulletproof gss and many specified modification like the extra-rge engine and increased horse power." Charles was still studying Bryan's expression but this nut was proving to be so hard to crack since his customer scanned the codes made the payment and signed the papers before looking to him as if saying : "Next!"

  "287,000 is the price of the S-Css, reinforced impact-proof body and bulletproof gss." Charles said but his answer was simply a couple more beeps followed by some scratches with the pen and a look from Bryan who said : "I already know that all the cars in your dealership are specially modified by the mother factories Mr Charles."

  "167,000 is the price of the F-150 Raptor R.

  "220,000 is the price of the ZR1 convertible.

  "This is the preliminary contract for the eight drivers and eight guards, minimum wages are 10,000 per month for each driver and 20,000 for each of the guards." Charles finally opened the st file and gave it to Bryan then added : "Once you sign on this agreement and fill your address you'll find them knocking on your door early tomorrow to do the job interview and the ones you can give the hiring contract to the ones you find suitable."

  Bryan signed everything and gave Charles a copy then smiled once he saw the frown on his face after seeing the address : "I believe I've been acting like a Nouveau Riche from the moment I arrived Mr Charles, so... why be so surprised?"

  "Uh! N-not in the least Mr Bryan, I made a fool of myself." Charles Olivera said while trying to hide his shock behind polite words but the mystery of the young man in front of him was only growing the more he interacted with him.

  "Is our car ready?" Bryan just smiled without saying anything before asking while getting up.

  Charles also immediately stood up while smiling he asked : "That depends... which car is it going to be?"

  Linnet and Riley were so excited and seemed like they couldn't wait for the moment to happen and looked towards Bryan as if waiting for him to choose but he gestured towards Linnet while saying : "You're asking the wrong person here Mr Charles."

  "Eh!" Linnet gawked before crossing her arms then decided to take one of her own cars, "Mine, the bck one!"

  "Excellent choice madam!" Charles gred at his secretary once she said that to compliment this young girl in a polite attempt which completely missed the target!

  Riley ughed on her friend's expense and Linnet stomped her feet while feeling embarrassed but Bryan just took her hand and led her towards the elevator with a simple smile on his face.

  Charles accompanied them on the ride all the way down to the underground floor and kept having small talks with Bryan who didn't seem to mind it when their conversation involved personal information reted to himself like his age and degree of education and source of income and things like that.

  It left Charles in awe after knowing that Bryan's fortune was made in the span of a few days by mainly using betting apps then transitioning to stock-exchange and share market once the sorry losers owning the betting apps decided to give him a big fat ban!

  "Hey unc, wassup with the sudden hurry?" Once they reached the underground floor the young muscur man who was leaning zily against the extremely thick foundation pilr straightened up and walked towards the elevator to greet Charles while compining.

  *Whistle*

  "Would you look at that! Hey cut- Mmmm." But once his eyes fell on the two beauties they immediately turned to hearts and he almost started to drool while trying to flirt as he flexed his muscles however, Charles was immediately able to block his nephew's mouth before any damage was done.

  Charles was struggling to contain the young man which is why he said in a hurry : "Listen... huff... and you better listen well you little bastard."

  The young man stopped struggling once he sensed the stern and serious tone coming from his uncle which is why Charles slowly let go of him before groaning while massaging his own shoulder which was injured previously.

  "Mr Bryan is not only a dear friend of mine but also one of my VIP customers and is going to be your boss starting from today, so let's start by apologizing to him and his dies for the misunderstanding you had earlier." Charles said while crossing his arms and gring at his nephew then added : "Now David Olivera!" This time his voice was louder with a lot more urgency in it.

  *Sigh*

  "Damn it unc!" David muttered before walking towards Bryan and fixing his clothes first then said : "I'm very sorry. I regret what I said. Please forgive me."

  "Heh." Linnet giggled.

  "You sound like a robot." Riley said while mimicking his voice.

  Bryan just smiled because he was amused by this David's childish and rebellious attitude which is why he offered his hand for a handshake while saying : "If you can endure my handshake without screaming like a little girl then you're hired."

  "Huh!" Charles frowned.

  David felt like this fellow thinks he can sp his face without expecting any traffic coming his way which is why he squinted his eyes while shaking his hand, clearly his intention was to show him the results of all his hard work working the farm back in the woods.

  "Ayooo!" What he didn't expect was the nonsensical squeezing power which tched on his hand as if the blessings of Hercules himself were poured on this fellow once the floodgates of that river were opened to the maximum.

  David fell to his knee helplessly and was desperately trying to hold himself back from really screaming like a damsel in distress or begging for mercy.

  "Good. You're hired, now get up and apologize to dy Linnet and dy Riley then get your ass in the car." Bryan said after letting go then looked at Mr Charles with an apologetic expression but the man actually gave him two thumbs up in return.

  "Here's the keys, you're driving the Phantom." Charles said then retracted the keys before gring at his nephew while adding : "I'm not going to stop Mr Bryan from bullying you once he finds your reckless driving worthy of a good beating but you better remember this... you're back in the woods the moment dy Linnet or her friends compin about misbehaving, reckless driving, or anything else over the lines of professionalism." Then handed the key to David and grabbed his shoulder then shook him back and forth twice as if waking him up while saying : "This is your opportunity to connect with the top, don't waste it and try to learn something."

  "Got it unc, chill." David said while ughing awkwardly.

  But Charles sank his fingers deeper in his shoulders while staring him dead in the eyes, "Promise me you wont mess this up! Not for me, but for yourself."

  "Eh... Aight, I promise. For real." David nodded.

  Charles let go of his nephew and gestured towards the location of the Phantom and said : "Go bring the car over."

  "On it." David smiled excitedly and walked towards it with long hurried steps.

  "My nephew wears his heart on his sleeve, I hope you wouldn't mind. All I'm asking from you is to take care of him for me, teach him a thing or two about life while you're at it." Charles lowered his head while saying that as he shook hands with Bryan.

  Bryan smiled while looking at the person driving Linnet's car then nodded and said : "Don't worry Mr Charles, he's in good hands. I'm sure we're going to meet soon once I'm done taking care of some small matters, good business await... Just stay away from the heavy industry market until the end of the month if you trust the advice of young people."

  Charles gawked because for the past few days some of his business partners have been pushing for that move and he was about to capitute under their relentless verbal pressure.

  "Of course there's no need for me to remind you of keeping the details of this conversation to yourself in the future." Bryan said and was about to join Linnet and Riley in the car but his feet paused and he turned to look at Charles Olivera then asked : "You don't happen to know Dr. Jeffrey Hall do you?"

  "The geology researcher?" Charles asked.

  "Yeah. That's the one." Bryan nodded.

  "I know a friend who share a personal retionship with Dr. Jeffrey." Charles said while holding back on asking anything else.

  Bryan patted Charles on the shoulder and said : "If you agree to set a meeting with the professor for me then I wouldn't mind giving you another advice in the future, but it's up to you if you want to throw away a big chunk your liquid funds to please your friends right now. Anyway, I said what I had to say and the rest is up to you my friend. See you ter." Then he got in the car and waved.

  Charles Olivera stood there watching his nephew drive the bulletproof Phantom away while thinking hard and deep about the words Bryan just said, there's no way he'd ever deny the heartfelt genuineness the young man had while giving him that advice.

  'Fuck these bastards! I'm keeping my money in the bank.' Charles thought while taking the elevator.
