"You look like Thor from the Avengers."
"You mean that jacked actor? Well..."
Liam rolled his eyes and ate his bread with peanut butter. He was seated in the buffet area of the hotel he was currently staying at, wearing nothing but a bathrobe, while in front of him sat Alexandra, casually drinking red wine in the morning.
"So? What’s your plan? You will go everywhere in this bathrobe?"
"Of course not. My car is out of town, and I don’t have any extra cars to go out in."
"Why not tell him?"
Alexandra pointed at the suit-wearing buffet manager, who was greeting every guest with a big smile on his face. Liam looked at the person and stood up with the small piece of bread he was eating, then casually dipped it into the red wine Alexandra had just poured for herself.
"You!!"
Liam didn’t look back at the angry Alexandra. She was older than him, so he used to always pull pranks on her in his last life. Although she might look angry now, the next time he returned to the table, she probably wouldn’t even bring it up.
...
"Of course, I will happily arrange a chauffeur for you. We can specially arrange our hotel’s 2014 Lincoln MKZ to accompany you wherever you want to go."
"I just want to go shopping and buy a car."
"Of course. I will prepare it right away."
...
"He agreed."
"Of course he did. I want compensation for my wine, though."
"Compensation? For the wine I bought you?"
"You said it yourself, you bought it for me... It was not yours to dip into." [Speech: 06]
-_-
Liam looked at the ’Past Life Friend Who Never Brought Up Hard Conversations Again’ and felt cheated. He felt like she was not giving him the little-brother advantages she used to give him in his last life.
"So what do you want?"
"A car would be nice."
Alexandra smiled and placed her elbow on the table, then pressed her palm against her cheek in a very playful manner. Liam could tell she was having fun teasing him and probably didn’t actually want anything at all.
"Sure, let’s grab you a car. I know a dealership, so let’s go. You and me both will have a new car."
"What?!"
"Yeah!! Let’s go and get you a fucking car. A nice car. Wait a minute, let me call my car guy."
"You have a car guy? Are you a fucking billionaire or something?"
Liam rolled his eyes and called the guy who had given him the three Mercedes. He still had to redeem the remaining two for his sisters, though. Liam was just not certain how he would give them to a family that was so poor that suddenly receiving expensive cars might make them suspicious about every single thing he did afterward.
"What kind of phone is this?"
"Cheap kind."
"I know it’s cheap. I mean, why are you still using it? Some kind of burner phone?" [High Tier Technician Skill is currently being used.]
"You think too much."
...
"Ecstasy Autos at your service, Mr. Carter. So, have you decided where to send the remaining two cars yet?"
"I have not. I will visit your shop in about half an hour to purchase two cars, in a bathrobe. Just giving you a heads-up."
"I will prepare the bath? Sir, we sell cars..."
"Shut it. I know. The heads-up was for you to clean your best cars. My lady here needs a nice, expensive car."
"Understood, sir."
...
"Come, come. This car is nice as well. How much do you think it is?"
Alexandra, seated in the backseat of the Lincoln, patted the seat beside her for Liam to hurry up. When he finally sat beside her, she looked around the interior, amazed by how good the Lincoln MKZ actually was.
"Around forty thousand?"
"So expensive?! Wow. Get me something like this, so I can drive to you whenever you need me."
"You are kind of behaving exactly like my mistress now. You really don’t have any filter, do you?"
"I am your mistress. You can’t abandon me. I’ll bear you many children and never tell your wife about them, as long as you share your property with them."
The driver in front of them had been quietly watching through the rearview mirror, but after hearing the unreal conversation between the two youngsters, he physically turned his head around and looked at the boy wearing a bathrobe and the girl who seemed capable of saying absolutely anything without hesitation.
"Take us to Ecstasy Autos. It’s on the north side of town."
Seeing that the driver had actually turned around, Liam gave him the address sent by that NPC from Ecstasy Autos. The driver nodded his head and drove forward. The car went toward Princeton University and took a right when it was about to enter the college area.
As they were passing by ’D’Angelo Italian Market,’ Liam saw Clara’s car parked in front of it. Then, through the glass window, he saw that she was seated inside with Megan, the two of them eating pizza together. Both of them looked somewhat tired.
"Girlfriend? Which one? Both of them look pretty."
Following Liam’s eyes, Alexandra also looked toward the duo seated inside the pizza café. A smile formed on her face. She looked like she had finally found some kind of clue about Liam’s private life. Otherwise, he had been far too mysterious for her liking.
"Blonde one."
"For now? You covet both of them, don’t you?"
"I never said that."
...
The car stopped in front of a dealership. It looked nice, with hundreds of cars lined up across its yard. The place looked much larger than most dealerships Liam had seen around town. Liam and Alexandra stepped out of the car, and the moment a middle-aged man wearing a black suit saw Liam’s bathrobe, he rushed outside to greet them.
"Mr. Carter, you are here... I am Charles. You are looking handsome, sir. So, in Europe, is this the new fashion?" [High Tier Flattery Skill is being used on Host] [Reversal? -Yes/No]
*GIGGLE*
Alexandra’s shoulders were trembling as she stared in a completely different direction, desperately trying not to laugh, while Charles had an almost literal ’ass-kissing’ expression plastered across his face.
[Yes.]
