Chapter 20
By this time, Wilson was also done with all the verification and transfer documents.
“Mr. Crawford, this is your car key and my business card. From now on, please do not hesitate to ask me for anything if you have any special requests. Even if it has nothing to do with cars at all, you can always ask for my help!” Wilson said respectfully.
This was because Richard meant more to him than just a regular customer who was buying a car. He knew that Richard came from a very wealthy and powerful family.
Wilson felt that he would not lose out if he got acquainted with Mr. Crawford.
“Okay, thank you, Manager Wilson. To be honest, there is something that I would like to ask of you if it is not too much trouble, Manager Wilson.” Richard said with a smile on his face.
“Yes, please. Just give me your instructions!”
“Please, can you get someone to help me drive this car back? Hahaha. Actually, I have not gotten my driver’s license yet...”
“Oh! If that is the case, I will do it for you right away!”
“Mr. Crawford, why don’t I drive the car back for you?”
“Mr. Crawford, I can drive the car back for you too! I have already obtained my driver’s license for more than two to three years!”
“Mr. Crawford, which driving school are you studying at?”
Immediately after his words fell, a crowd of people quickly gathered around Richard as they grabbed his arms frantically.
They kept asking Richard about which university he was studying at and which driving school he was taking classes at.
Richard was prevaricated with his replies. Fortunately, Wilson was very sharp and alert, and he quickly offered to personally drive Richard back.
At this time, Vanessa was standing by the door as she glanced at Richard and the crowd of people. She was biting her lips, filled with regrets. She truly wished that she could slap herself in the face!
She had actually looked down on and despised someone, but unexpectedly, that person had turned out to be the true king!
Vanessa could not help but slump to the ground as she thought about her actions. Her career was surely over!
However, Richard did not ask Wilson to drive him back to the campus.
After all, this was such a cool and luxurious Lamborghini. Even when they were driving on the road, a crowd of people was already staring at his car.
If he were to drive this car into the campus, he would definitely attract too much attention.
That would be too high-profile.
It would feel as though Richard was trying to show off his wealth.
Richard hated people who were arrogant and enjoyed showing off their wealth the most.
Therefore, Richard asked Wilson to park his car at a carpark that was located not too far from their campus.
Then, he asked Wilson to take a cab back to the Lamborghini shop.
Alas, Richard had bought a car but he was too embarrassed to drive it. This was really so ridiculous!
Still, Richard was very satisfied with this car, and he felt as though he was dreaming.
After putting away his car key, Richard felt a little thirsty and decided to head toward the shop next to the campus to buy a cup of milk tea.
“If you do not have cash on you, you can use electronic payment instead!”
“Sorry, boss. My cell phone is dead, and I forgot to bring my wallet here with me. Otherwise, can you allow me to leave the cups of milk tea here first? I will return to the dormitory to get my wallet before I come back to grab these milk teas...”
As soon as Richard arrived at the shop, he saw a girl holding a bag of milk tea as she spoke to the boss.
It seemed as though the girl had only realized that she did not bring her wallet out with her after she was done purchasing the milk tea. Moreover, her cell phone was out of battery and she could not pay using electronic payment either. This was indeed quite embarrassing.
However, after looking at the girl’s profile, Richard was a little startled.
“Huh? It’s her?” Richard was a little surprised.
She was the girl he had met when Whitney had instructed him to clean up the auditorium the last time. At that time, Richard had accidentally soiled and dirtied her white shoes when he was too engrossed in Victor’s speech about buying a car.
Richard could remember her clearly because she was not only very beautiful, but she was also nonjudgmental at all, unlike Whitney. She was very demure and nice.
Therefore, Richard had a very deep impression of her. He could even remember her name clearly. Mila Smith!
“Young sister, don’t make this kind of joke. You bought six cups of milk tea in one go and even took a few sips of one of the milk teas. If you leave them here and do not come back for it, what am I supposed to do with all these milk teas?! Who am I supposed to collect the money from, then? Miss, I am just running a small business here. So, please do not make things difficult for me!”
The male boss inside said helplessly.
At this time, Mila had a very anxious expression on her face as she frantically wiped the sweat off her forehead.
“How much is it? I will pay for her...”
Just as Mila was feeling very flustered, a voice suddenly rang behind her ears.
Mila heaved a sigh of relief before she turned around to see who had come to her rescue. As soon as she saw Richard, she smiled unexpectedly.
“It’s you?”
“Yes. It seems as though we meet again!” Richard smiled and could not stop his face from turning red...
“Thank you so much for your help. I can’t believe I forgot to bring my wallet out!” Mila said as she smiled.
She did not directly refuse Richard’s offer to pay on her behalf, and she was also very polite.
She was a very kind and generous girl.
Mila was a little surprised to run into Richard today.
Still, Mila had a deep impression of Richard after running into him at the auditorium the last time.
She recalled that this student had been very indifferent and was not affected at all even though everyone had been ridiculing and humiliating him at that time.
“You are welcome,” Richard replied as he smiled.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as I get my wallet. By the way, do you have an electronic wallet? If you have one, I can transfer the money to you through electronic payment directly...”
“Yes!” Richard did not push back and forth either. Even though the girl before him was very beautiful, it was still a very happy meeting.
Furthermore, he did not have the habit of beating around the bush.
Under normal circumstances, any other ordinary guy in this situation would definitely have insisted that the girl did not need to return the money and could just take it as a treat from them.
Perhaps, they would even try to invite her out to dinner and try to befriend her or something like that.
However, Richard had a very straight character and had always been this way. Since Mila wanted to return the money to him, he had no reason to turn down her request.
“I will go back to my dormitory now and transfer the money back to you later in the evening! Thank you for your help today. My name is Mila Smith!”
“My name is Richard Crawford!” Richard replied as he smiled.
After that, Mila waved at Richard before she left in a hurry.
“She truly is very beautiful...” Richard muttered to himself as he stared at her back.
Hey! When did he become such a fool?
With a faint smile on his face, Richard turned around and picked up his milk tea before he decided to walk toward his car and appreciate it a little longer.
This was the first time he had ever bought a car for himself, and he would never have dreamt that he would ever be able to own this car. Therefore, he was very excited.
“Wow! Come and take a look at this! What kind of car is this?”
“Oh my God! It’s a Lamborghini sports car! It’s really too cool. This car should be worth a few million dollars, right?”
“This is the Reventon! It’s one of Lamborghini’s most expensive luxury sports car! It’s priced at more than two and a half million dollars! Wow. He must be an extremely wealthy person!?”
