"Yes sir. Is there anything you would like me to do?" The manager asked James, his voice trembling. He had seen the golden card that James had used to pay for the cars, and he knew that James was a powerful person in Drawsbury town. He was ready to do anything to please him and avoid his wrath.

"Yes, there is. I'm very disappointed with your service." James said, frowning. He had expected to be treated with respect and gratitude. He had noticed that the manager had been smiling and congratulating Emilia a few moments ago, but now he looked shocked and scared.

"I apologize, sir, for whatever we have done wrong. Please tell me what I can do to make it up to you." The manager said, hoping that James wouldn't cancel his purchase or worse.

"Ben had overlooked me when I arrived, thinking I was poor. He ignored me and let Emilia take me instead. I want you to do the right thing with this information." James said, in an authoritative tone.

"How dare Ben? He is a fool and a failure. I will

Where did you meet him? How long have you been dating?”“His name is James,” Sarah said, hoping she wouldn’t ask too many questions. “We met at work. We’ve been seeing each other for a few weeks.”“A few weeks?” Reilly said, snorting. “That’s hardly serious. Come on, Sarah, you’re not getting any younger. You need to settle down and start a family. You don’t want to end up alone, do you?” Reilly questioned rhetorically."No, I wouldn't." Sarah s

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is alot about me that you don't know yet."
