Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

A salesgirl immediately came to greet me . " Good morning , sir ! Wit kind of car are you looking for ? " +25 Bonus " A Range Rover would be nice , " I said . " Hopefully within the price range of a few hundred thousand dollars . Got anything good ? Her eyes lit up . Jackpot . She had just spotted a big spender . " Of course ! Our shop has all kinds of cars ! " she chirped excitedly , leaning a little closer than necessary . I took a cautious step back . " Uh , hem , yeah . Can you show me ? " She froze , embarrassed . Before she could reply , a snort cut through the air .

" Wow , looks like we've got ourselves a super VVIP over here , don't we ? I thought you'd have more money than a Range Rover , Sebastian . Aren't you supposed to be driving a McLaren or a Rolls - Royce ? " I turned . Mila stood there in the shop uniform , her expression full of contempt . She had gotten a job here . The salesgirl eagerly ran up to her . " Did you just say ... he's a super VVIP ?! Do you know him ?! " Mila snorted . " Him ? VVIP? Not even in his dreams ! He recently got divorced from my best friend , took out a loan from God knows where , and started a company .

I'm sure it's already going under . And now he thinks he's good enough for a Land Rover ? He doesn't deserve anything more than a ten - year - old Toyota . " The salesgirl gasped . By the time she turned back to me , any trace of excitement had vanished . " I can't believe it . He steps into the shop and instantly wants a big car like he has deep pockets or something . I didn't know he was just a performative little poser ! " You even backed away when I approached you ! So great - you don't have the money , but you sure know how to put on airs . I guess that makes someone a VIP nowadays !

You know what ? You can take him as your customer , Mila . I'm not interested . Bye . " The salesgirl turned on her heel and left . Mila sized me up with disgust before sneering , " You see that , Sebastian ? Your vibe's so repulsive people avoid you like the plague . You should cut out the whole ' I'm such a hot shit ' pretense already . And why are you here , of all places ? Are you stalking me ? I've only just gotten this job , and somehow you already found me ! " I snickered . " Stalk you ? Please . You don't deserve even the smallest bit of my attention .

But while I'm here , I don't mind buying a car - and maybe getting your boss to fire you . " Mila's face flushed with fury . " You useless piece of shit ! You think I don't know your secret ? Hera told me everything ! Baron Inc. hired you as an actor for PR purposes before clearing it up for everyone ! " Let me guess - you only managed to start your company using the money Baron Inc. paid you for that gig , right ? " Mila was sure this was also why her old boss , Frank Caprio , had slapped and fired her at the time .

Frank must have been fooled by Sebastian's showmanship , thinking he was really a big deal . Mila was also certain Sebastian had spent all the money from that PR gig by now . He was about to reveal his true broke - ass self . " Hera told me you've been doing really badly , haven't you ? You even left in an Uber again ! " she sneered . " If you had any money , you would have bought a car already . Why wait until now ? Only one possibility : you think you can keep up this fraud in front of me , not knowing I already know the truth .

" You're such a pathetic phony that I feel secondhand embarrassment just standing near you ! Now get out before you really piss me off , or I'll call security ! " she threatened . 1/2 Chapter 97 Sara Lili Sara Lili is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
