Chapter 31 Mariela couldnât help but be surprised, âHow did you know?â
Mers She recalled that she never told Lennon what color she liked.
On the other side of the line, Lennon chuckled softly, âThat year when I tutored you, I noticed that your notebook and stationery box were all light blue.â
was Mariela did not expect that Lennon would even notice such details.
color blue, and when she just this light blue Bentley, she saw truly amazed. She really liked the âThe first time I saw this car, I thought to myself that you would definitely like it,â Lennon said in a gentle voice.âWant to take it for a spin? This car is small in size, so it should be easy to control.â
âWell, I will give it a try later.â
After hanging up the phone, Mariela got into the car. She didnât immediately start the engine. She held the steering wheel in her hands with mixed feelings.
Mariela had a driverâs license and he had been driving a lot in the past three years.
But all the cars belonged to Jaime, while her car was still sitting in the underground garage in her familyâs villa in New York, gathering dust. She was with Jaime for three years, and many times it felt like she was more of a designated driver than his girlfriend. Jaime liked to party. When he went out for a drink and couldnât drive, he would give Mariela a call, and she would drop everything to pick him up from the parties.
She had also heard from Jaimeâs friend that when Jaime broke up with his exâgirlfriend, he just threw her a BMW worth over 10 thousand dollars as a breakâup gift.
Jaime knew that her job required frequent outings, such as going to court and meeting with clients. However, he never even mentioned buying a car for her.
Itâs not that Mariela wanted him to give her a car, but at the moment, it was hard not to put Jaime and Lennon together for comparison. Being liked by Jaime was really something not worth mentioning.
Mariela was in a trance when suddenly she heard a cry of alarm.
Wow! Such a pretty car! I had wanted to buy this car before, but I couldnât bring myself to buy it,â said Juliette. Mariela saw Juliette and Jaime not far away through the car window.
The two of them were walking towards the car.
Juliette didnât expect to see her longâawaited glacierâblue Bentley Continental Jaimeâs at doorstep.
This was the dream car she loved but couldnât have.
Although her family has a longâstanding relationship with the Herman family, it could be described as middleâclass at most.
Businesses had been tough in recent years. Julietteâs fatherâs company has been incurring losses year after year. Now, they were still counting on her to marry into the Herman family so that the Herman Group could help them out.
