"Three hundred billion dollars?!" Dwayne yelled in disbelief and stupefaction. "Son, that amount of money is too much for us to just give away. What are we going to tell the board about how such an amount left the company? We'll need an explanation that is plausible."Sean walked toward his grandfather's desk and stood in front of his father and grandfather. "I know, dad, but I had no other choice. I needed her by all means and with this, she's forthwith stuck with us. She and her family.""The money can't be dug from the ground, Sean. It's damn too much. Even for us." Dwayne debated further, showing his displeasure and umbrage toward it."I know we don't have to take the money from the company, dad. We have savings, and I'm sure you guys have slush funds hidden away. Come on, help me out. Let's work it out together." He desperately pleaded.Dwayne sighed, looking demoralized and he glanced at his father who kept shut. He couldn't believe he was just going to give such a huge amount o

"Are you sure he's not capable of affording the car? I mean, why would he come here to buy a car when he can't afford one?" One of the guys questioned. It was obvious he was the only one seeing reason.Lefty scoffed with her hips jutted out and her hands folded. She kept looking at Dylan, accessing him before answering, "Does he look like someone that can afford such a car? He's probably just trying to flirt with the poor sales lady.""But we know Dylan, Letty…" The other girl interjected. "He's not someone who jokes around or even flirts around.
