Yara tucked Tracy into her bed and smoothened her blanket. "You need to rest."Tracy was still in tears, trying to make her legs move. However, it was all in vain."Why did this happen to me, Miss Mathews?" she wailed. "I was running in the park when suddenly my legs gave way. If Torque hadn't found me, I don't know what would have happened.""Don't worry. I think your legs are paralyzed because of a combination of exhaustion and anemia. It happens to us girls all the time, especially during early adulthood."Tracy looked up expectantly. "Really? Did something like this happen to you at my age?""Yes, of course!" Yara lied. "And my legs recovered after a few days. So, it would be best to stop worrying, finish your meals and rest. That's all the treatment you need."Her words reassured the girl, and she rested on her pillow and closed her eyes.Shortly after, Tyler came upstairs. He had spent the last thirty minutes convincing his parents that his sister's condition was temporary.The
Tyler returned from Prince’s Cove after recharging his mystical energy with Yara’s help. This time, they stayed in the aquifer’s waters for a longer period.Yara had accompanied him to the pond, and they had repeated the same ritual. No daylight illuminated their skins, but they could naturally feel each other underwater. However, the duo were now acquainted with each other’s naked bodies. There was no looming awkwardness or shame.To an outsider, their relationship would appear perverted and sexual. For Tyler, their bond was immersed in spirituality. Even though Yara was a very attractive woman, he harbored no untoward intentions for her.On the other hand, Tyler perceived that the beauty enjoyed their unclothed and intimate time underwater. Yara was a virgin and had never progressed beyond the dating stage with guys. He felt guilty for using up most of her daily hours.Was the young woman expecting something more from Tyler? Should he reward her with a more physical relationship?“Be
"What nonsense are you blabbering, Maya?" Steve chided her. "You want to give this arrogant couple a tour of the restricted premium section? Are you nuts?"The salesgirl stepped back, alarmed by her superior's outburst. He was usually abrasive towards her, but today, he was excessively loud and rude. However, Maya fought to keep her composure."Mr. Jones… The gentleman and lady are customers just like the others. It is our duty to cater to their requests. How else are we going to maximize our sales?"Even though Maya was a new recruit with a low salary, she worked hard to learn the technical and sales skills needed to satisfy clients.Steve, on the other hand, although senior to her, often misbehaved with customers, hurting the company's sales. He had survived this long by bootlicking the showroom's owner and sabotaging other salespersons."How dare you lecture me, kid?" Steve snapped at the girl. "Your inexperience clearly shows in your conduct! This couple wants to go around window
Tyler frowned at the rampaging couple. What was wrong with them? No matter where he went, they popped up like a whack-a-mole game. Should he whack their heads and get rid of them once and for all?“Why are you silent, Tyler?” Melissa fumed. “Cat got your tongue? Are you petrified now that I have exposed you before the salesgirl? How will you run your petty scam now?”“Get out of my sight,” was all Tyler replied.Maya stepped between the two groups, trying to diffuse the tension. “Please, don’t air out personal issues in our showroom. It is against policy. Let the gentleman make his purchase and go about his daily business.”“Gentleman?” Tim Owen fired back. “How young are you, little salesgirl? This man is an ex-convict who goes around swindling billionaires and businesses. He doesn’t have a dime to purchase even a spark plug, let alone an entire car! Look at his ordinary clothes and delinquent attitude! Doesn’t he appear broke and homeless to you?”Maya turned to scrutinize Tyler aga
Tim Owen narrowed his eyes at Tyler. What was the loafer playing at? From where did he muster the courage to challenge him to a bid? Had poverty driven him insane? However, the proposal opened up an opportunity for Tim.“Miss Mathews, do you agree to this arrangement?” he asked Yara hopefully. “That you’ll date the man who wins the Rolls Royce challenge?”Yara exchanged furtive glances with Tyler, who winked at her with amusement. “Yes, I agree,” she replied sincerely.Tim could have done a fist pump right then. He had been miserable, thinking Yara would never give him a chance. Now, a golden opportunity had presented itself.Maya looked stupefied. Had a simple car sale become a bidding war right before her eyes? Carlisle Motors paid her a 10% commission on every car sale. The girl usually sold cheap units, getting measly wages. However, the Rolls Royce sale was going to be huge!If Tyler actually purchased the Specter model at showroom price, she would make a commission of fifty grand
“Steve!” Maya exclaimed cheerfully. “I just made a bidding sale of ten million dollars! That entitles me to one million in commission! I’ll definitely give you a treat in a gourmet restaurant!”The salesman’s eyes widened. Ten million? How did the munchkin make such a massive sale? Steve wouldn’t be able to save that much even after retirement,“Oh, you sold the Specter model at twenty times its showroom price?” Frank Carlisle asked, his eyes sparkling in dollars. “How did you manage that?”“Yes, sir. I mediated the challenge between two young men. It was quite nerve-racking, but the sale went through in the end.”“Excellent!” Frank praised her. “I’ll make sure you get the commission.”“What commission?” Steve butted in. “Sir… Mr. Tim Owen is my regular customer and purchases cars for his company. Moreover, I invited the young couple to the third floor. Please don’t the little brat claim credit for my work!”Frank Carlisle raised an eyebrow. He was a middle-aged billionaire with a doz
Tyler shifted his eyes to Steve, making him shudder under his icy stare. However, the salesman kept his fake smile alive. In his experience, flattery always worked with bosses."You're a disgrace to this profession and humanity!" Tyler exploded at him. "What kind of pathetic upbringing did you have? Don't you feel ashamed trying to steal credit from a girl half your age? Doesn't your conscience prick you while you sabotage a hardworking employee? You're worse than sewage sludge!""I'm sorry, sir…" Steve whimpered, taken aback by Tyler's outburst. He had expected the young man to fall for the bootlicking, but his plan backfired. However, mustering all his buttering skills, Steve made a final desperate appeal."Sir… Surely, a princely, honorable, and charitable man like you would have mercy on me!"Tyler laughed derisively, watching the salesman flatter him hopelessly. Then, a look of fury crossed his face."You're fired! Gather your things and get lost! If I see you in my showroom afte
The two bikes started racing over parallel lanes. Bystanders watched with gaping mouths as the riders broke the speed limit and went over a hundred miles per hour.What was going on? Was it an unannounced race or a Hollywood movie shoot?More than anything, Tyler wanted the mysterious rider to leave him alone. He had to reach Peridot City before nightfall, and a priceless race was the last thing on his mind. However, the rider baited him by trying to outpace his bike.Soon enough, their lanes merged and they came abreast of each other.Tyler checked his digital speedometer. It was clocking 110 mph already. The maximum speed of the Ducati DesertX was about 130 mph. But the bike was already groaning and sputtering under the stress.On the other hand, the mysterious man was riding pretty smoothly. He had a much more expensive model, the BMW HP4, with a maximum speed of over 200 mph!Tyler turned his throttle and accelerated to 120, taking the lead. His opponent wasted no time and gunned
