âUhmâ¦â
Alex was taken aback. He didnât expect Lavender to know this BMW guy.
âCedar? Sounds like theyâre siblings.â
Cedar started panicking. âSis, uhm, well, I⦠my car broke down, so Iâm using your car for now.â He
said as he kept signalling Lavender with his eyes.
He had just got together with Charis after all, he wanted to show off in front of her!
However, Lavender did not pick up any of his signals and said, âYour motorcycle is broken? Then get it
fixed! Donât you know that my car is off-limits for today? Oh, and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller now.â
Charisâ expression darkened. Cedarâs BMW wasnât his own, he only owned a motorcycle all along.
A motorcycle is nothing compared to Nicholasâ secondhand Volkswagen!
Cedar pointed at Alex and asked, âWhy should I apologize to him? He doesnât deserve it! Heâs just a
mere slave. Iâd rather apologize to a dog!â
Suddenly, a loud slap landed on Cedarâs face. Lavender had slapped him hard and yelled, âYou
bastard! How dare you speak of Mr. Rockefeller like that? Mr. Rockefeller is a star customer of our
bank! Heâs a VIP! Apologize now or else!â
âStar customer?â
Cedar froze.
Charis wasnât aware of what it meant to be a bankâs star customer. However, Cedar knew that title all
too well. A star customer had to have personal savings of over fifty million dollars.
And that was just their personal savings, not net worth.
If he were to offend his sisterâs star customer, Lavender would most definitely make his life miserable
for a full year. He wouldnât be able to reap benefits off of her as well.
He immediately apologized to Alex. âIâm sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. It was all my fault, I shouldnât have
insulted you, I shouldnât have yelled at you. Please forgive my actions.â
He then grabbed Charis by her hair and started slapping her across the face. âIt was all because of this
b*tch! She was bad-mouthing youâI was misled by her words!â
Charis yelped in pain and pointed towards Nicholas. âNicholas Hudson! Are you really that useless?
Stop him now!â
Nicholasâs eyes were reddened but he seemed ready to lunge at Cedar. However, Alex pressed him
down with one hand, immobilizing him.
Alex was speechless.
âCharis Burr, are you really that shameless? You had just insulted Nicholas, calling him worthless. Yet
now youâre ordering your ex to beat up your current boyfriend. Are you mental?â
He then waved to Cedar dismissively and said, âYou, get lost!â
If he were to slap himself any more, Alex will soon be in the spotlight again.
Lavender kicked Cedar on his leg. âNow thank Mr. Rockefeller and get lost!â
After Cedar had rushed off, Lavender smiled and said, âIâm truly sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. My brother is
just so reckless and ended up causing you trouble. Iâll treat you to lunch later as an apology, will that be
alright with you?â
âThereâs no need for that. You two are different individuals. You should just go back to work, Ms. Davis,â
Alex replied dismissively.
Suddenly, Alexâs phone started ringing. It was a call from the pretty saleswoman from the BMW
dealership store, Chloe Zea.
Chloeâs soft and sweet voice came from the other side of the phone. âMr. Rockefeller, your BMW M8 is
now fixed. Would you like to pick it up yourself or would you like me to send it over to you?â
Alex stared at Nicholas who seemed distraught. âPlease send it over, Iâll send you my location in a bit.â
Chloe promised that the car will be sent over within 15 minutes.
Alex turned to Charis, whose face was swollen from the slapping. âCharis Burr, you donât deserve
Nicholas. Youâre just a good for nothing gold digger. He deserves to be with a woman who is much
better than you.â
