Chapter 490 Mia’s Scheme
Veronica was surprised to run into Mia at a place like this. She knew Mia would do anything to sabotage her. They had bad blood between them after all. Veronica didn’t care though. As long as she could sell the car, she could secure a job as a full-timer in the dealership.
Then, she’d no longer be deadweight for Miguel, and once she settled down on a job, she could spend most of her time helping Matthew too. “Fancy seeing you here, Mia. Are you thinking of getting a new car? Come in.” Veronica served her like any lowly service industry worker would. She wanted Mia to feel like her superiority was acknowledged and respected by others.
Mia smiled smugly when she finally saw the haughty Veronica treating her like she was a queen. She heard what happened between her and Matthew, and she knew how bad Veronica must be having it.
Still, she never thought Veronica would fall so far as to work in a car dealership. She just posted a selfie of herself, Stephen the action-star, and Larry the Oscar-winning actor on her social media not too long ago.
This overwhelming gap delighted Mia. She held her bag higher and came up to Veronica. The woman cocked her eyebrow and smiled. “Sean told me you quit a few days ago. I thought you found a job in another agency. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
This dealership had been here for a long time, and they only sold luxury cars. The fact that Veronica was treating her like a queen was proof that she wasn’t a shareholder. She’s probably really a salesgirl now.
“Modeling bored me out, so…” Veronica put on a sheepish look and heaved a sigh. “Life is hard, but it must go on.” She changed the subject, “You’re getting a car, aren’t you? Come in. Take a look. I’ll tell you everything you need to know.”
“Sure,” Mia answered quickly, but her eyes glinted with cunning. She said, “I don’t know anything about cars. Do explain everything to me like I’m five.”
Veronica nodded. “Sure. No problem. What’s your budget? And what kind of car are you looking for?”
“I…” Mia glanced backward. Everyone was looking at another car some distance away. Her eyes glinted, and she shoved Veronica. “What do you mean I can’t afford this car? You can’t talk to me like that. I want to see your manager!”
Mia’s accusation came really suddenly. Veronica was expecting something like this to happen, but she never thought it would come this quickly. She was just going to turn her phone’s recording function on too, but it was too late.
The other customers looked at them. They stared at Mia for a moment, then they turned their eyes to Veronica. “What’s going on?”
“She’s a salesgirl here? That’s no way to talk to a client.””Rude.”
“Pimplehead, see what happened.” The men who came with Mia and the salesmen approached them. Hanson was worried about Veronica. He huddled closer to her and whispered, “What’s going on?”
Veronica looked at him and shrugged. She shook her head. “She’s kinda an enemy of mine, so…” Darn. I thought she’d get into it a bit more slowly. Never thought she’d go in for the kill right away too. She knew Mia would slander her again, so she was planning on making a recording, but she was one split second slower. Well, this is going to be amusing.
Mia turned around and approached a pudgy man with a big belly. She stood in front of him, sobbing sadly. “I-I can’t believe she said that to me.”
The pudgy, pervy man wrapped his arm around Mia’s lower back. “Yes, yes, it’s unbelievable. It’s fine, sister. I’ll back you up. So, what were you gonna buy anyway?”
Mia wiped her tears and pointed at the red Ferrari 2021 edition. “That’s the one I wanted. I didn’t say I was gonna buy it. I said I like it, a-and she said I can’t afford it.”
The man looked at the car and shot a glare at Veronica. “Nobody talks to my sister like that. That’s no way to make a sale. Apologize, now!” The man ordered Veronica to apologize without even bothering to know the truth.
Oh, so that’s why Mia was in such a hurry to sabotage me? She’s trying to get her sugar daddy to buy her a Ferrari and trip me up at the same time. Two birds with one stone.
“Apologize?” Veronica was stubborn. She would never deign to apologize, especially not to Mia. However, getting a job was hard, and it would be nice if she could make a sale just by saying sorry to Mia. “Okay, okay. I’ll do it.” She sighed and approached Mia. “I’m sorry for saying that, Ms. Stuart.” The workplace was a cruel place. Mia accused her of something she didn’t do, but she had no proof. Arguing with her would just make things worse. Apologizing might make things better for her.
Mia was surprised that Veronica would apologize without putting on a fight. She never thought Veronica would follow her orders so readily. Mia kept crying, since she had no idea what to do.
And then Veronica said, “But I was just telling the truth. You alone can’t afford this car.” Yes, she was riling Mia up on purpose. To be precise, she was riling the man up. She didn’t care how many men Mia had slept with. Veronica just wanted to sell the car.
That was a good cue for Mia to continue her act. She grabbed the chance and cried louder. “See? You heard what she just said to me?”
Veronica had never heard of this ‘brother’ of Mia before. They used to be colleagues, so she knew that Mia was an orphan. She had no relatives of her own.
