"You are the type of girl I would wish to be friends with in middle school, but not in high school."
Megan filled her spoon with chocolate sundae and placed it on her tongue, while Clara was gently slicing up her cheesecake. Hearing the weird comment from Megan, she looked up at her curiously.
"Why not in high school?"
"Boobs."
"Boobs?"
"Mine came in late. Unlike your gigantic rack, I had a tiny one."
"Well, you must have been popular as well, right?"
"Yeah! Popular to a degree that it’s kind of scary."
*RING-RING*
As they were chatting away, Megan’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing the name on her screen, her face immediately lost its color, and her smile vanished into thin air. With a slightly trembling hand, she stood up and excused herself from the table.
"What’s wrong with her?"
Clara watched Megan go outside the store in a hurry. Shaking her head, she focused on the cheesecake in front of her again. The pizza here was very tasty, so naturally, her expectations were quite high for the dessert as well.
...
"Rudolf... what do you want?"
"My lovely little bird... how are you?"
A coarse voice with a strangely gentle tone sounded from the other side. Megan just gritted her teeth in anger and stood there without replying, but she also didn’t have the courage to end the call either.
"I see, you are giving me the silent treatment again. No worries. I just called my future wife to give her some good news. There’s a bike repair shop, or more like a bike club, in Princeton. It’s called Danuvan. If any boy disturbs you, you can go there and they will take care of you."
"I don’t need thugs to protect me. I am here to study, not cause trouble."
"I know, little bird... it’s just that my heart aches without you here. But soon, you will have to come back. The Orphanage Granny always asks about you."
"Don’t you dare hurt her..."
BEEP-BEEP
"Damn it..."
Megan cursed under her breath and stomped her foot against the ground. She stood there for a while, then took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed herself down before going back inside.
Clara, seeing the expression on her face, didn’t ask her anything. She simply sliced her cheesecake in half and shared it with Megan since her ice cream had already melted while she was outside.

"So, these are all the cars you have?"
Liam asked while walking toward the manager’s office, pointing at the hundreds of cars parked across the massive open field of the dealership.
Charles shook his head before pointing toward the huge glass showroom ahead of them.
"The cars you’ll be interested in are inside there."
"Oh? You know what kind of cars I will like?"
"Expensive kind."
-_-
"I am just joking with you, sir. I have handpicked two cars for you. Both are among the highest-quality cars we have, and one of them is a limited edition. So, I will take you inside our ’Glass House.’ It’s the name of the garage where we showcase our flagship cars."
Charles took Liam and Alexandra through the huge dealership and into his office, then ordered some coffee while they waited for the person who operated this so-called ’Glass House.’ Alexandra was already yawning with boredom, so she drank three cups of coffee while Liam didn’t even touch one.
"Sir, it’s ready. Both cars can be driven on the road. I’ve already fixed the factory tuning."
A person wearing a cap with ’Ecstasy’ written across it entered the room. After telling them that they could proceed inside the ’Glass House,’ he left after handing Charles a remote controller.
"Sir, please follow me."
Charles stood up with an excited smile, while Alexandra gave Liam a complaining look. She looked visibly annoyed by all the bullshit Charles was pulling and clearly wasn’t enjoying the dramatic presentation nearly as much as he was.
Liam just shrugged his shoulders and followed Charles deeper into the dealership. Soon, he could see the end of the dealership, but Charles didn’t stop at all. He walked out through the dealership’s back door and crossed the road.
Only then did Liam finally see a large silver-colored building glistening underneath the sunlight because most of its exterior was made entirely of glass.
Charles took them toward a huge automatic roll-up gate, then pressed the controller he had been given by the employee. The gate slowly rolled upward, and from where Liam was standing, he could already guess that both cars inside were white in color.
"I present to you the latest 2015 Bentley Flying Spur, fully loaded and directly from Crewe, England, imported by yours truly."
Liam walked ahead and saw the creamy-white-colored sedan Charles was pointing toward. Although it was undoubtedly very beautiful, Liam’s eyes were already focused on the other car instead.
He was a big car guy, after all, and the other vehicle happened to be an SUV.
"Tell me about the other one."
"Glad it caught your attention. The 2017 Bentley Bentayga, Bentley’s first-ever SUV, and this particular one is a First Edition piece. That means only 608 pieces were made in the entire world, and this one has the number 07 on it."
"2017?"
"Yes, 2017. You heard that right. They released it a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to grab one. Both cars are the same color, Ceramic White. A car that normally won’t be available until 2017, you can get one right now instead."
"A few weeks ago, and you can sell it immediately?"
Liam narrowed his eyes at Charles. Although he liked the car, if he couldn’t properly register it, then it would just become a useless and ridiculously expensive showpiece sitting around somewhere.
"Of course. This one was shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show. I have gotten special permission to sell it. Actually, I am lying a little. The permission to sell it was taken from the government by Erto Silverschild. You probably wouldn’t understand, but people like them can do almost anything."
"Silverschild, you say... why didn’t he buy it if he was the one who got permission?"
"He bought a private jet and told me to sell this car off."
