The Legendary Man
Chapter 49 Sense Of Superiority Jonathan didnât even need to look, for he could recognize the person by her voice.
Sure enough, a young lady strutted out on her high heels before giving Jonathan a disdainful look.
âWhere is your electric scooter? Did you lose it?â she inquired.
âItâs none of your business!â Jonathan wasnât in the mood to yak with her.
âHow dare you talk to me that way?â the young lady demanded with a scowl. âJosephine, wonât you discipline your dirt poor boyfriend? Look how rude he is!â
âWhat do you want?â Josephine finally lost it after having to endure the ladyâs insults for the entire day.
âWhat do you mean?â The young lady put on a well-practiced pout. âIâm doing this for your sake, Josephine. You shouldnât fall for the same trick twice. Havenât you suffered enough after marrying a penniless loser back then? Now that heâs missing, you got yourself another penniless loser? What else is he good at, except for boasting about himself? I donât understand why you fell for them!â
It was obvious that the lady had a sense of superiority before Josephine, for she owned a BMW 3 series sedan.
Josephine, on the other hand, had to go home on an old electric scooter.
âNo matter what kind of men I choose, itâs none of your business,â Josephine answered in an icy tone.
âIf you donât have anything else to say, please get out of my way!â
With that, Josephine swung her head around and stalked away.
âJosephine, why are you in such a hurry?â Her colleague immediately ran after her. âIâm merely commenting on that penniless loser. Why are you upset? My boyfriend is coming to pick me up. Do you need a ride home? He just bought the latest Lamborghini that cost around two million.â
A smug smile played on her lips.
So what if Josephineâs prettier than me? She has to ride a stupid electric scooter!
âNo need!â Josephine rejected her offer without hesitation. âIâm going in the other direction!â
âJosephineâ¦â
The colleague was about to say something when she spotted a crowd around a fiery red Lamborghini.
The smooth curves of the car promptly attracted her attention.
âThis should be the car my boyfriend bought this afternoon,â the lady blurted out excitedly, assuming that the red Lamborghini belonged to her boyfriend. âLook, Josephine. Isnât it gorgeous?â
âYes, it is,â answered Josephine without looking up.
âIt cost over two million. No wonder itâs gorgeous,â her colleague announced smugly. Taking Josephineâs arm, she invited, âCome on, Josephine. Letâs go take a look at my boyfriendâs new car. I bet youâve never taken a ride in such an expensive sports car. Do you want to experience it later?â
Jonathan shook his head and chuckled, for she didnât bother hiding her sense of superiority âNo need!â Josephine rejected her offer and turned to leave. Suddenly, Jonathan blocked her way and said, âYes, Darling. Sheâs right. Letâs try it out. If you like it, Iâll buy one for you!â
Heâll buy one for her?
The young lady nearly puked in disgust at his words.
âThat car costs over two million. Can you even afford it?â she sneered, her voice full of disdain.
âJonathan!â Josephineâs brows furrowed up at once. âWhat are you doing? Isnât this embarrassing enough?â
After being teased all day long in her office, all she wanted was to go home.
Why did Jonathan agree with her suggestion?
âIt wonât take long. What if you take a liking to it?â Jonathan flashed a smile before striding over to the red Lamborghini. The young lady stared at his retreating figure and snickered. She took Josephineâs arm and strutted after him. âHeâs right. Even if you canât afford it, at least try out the seats in an expensive car.â
She promptly shooed the crowd away. âGet lost. Move away from the car. If you make a scratch, can you afford to cough up the compensation? Hey, you! Thatâs right, you! Get your hand off the car! Donât touch it!â
Once the lady reached the car, she acted as though she was the owner and chased all the spectators away.
After the crowd dispersed, she reached out for the door handle. However, it refused to budge when she tried pulling at it.
âHuh? Where is my boyfriend?â she inquired, glancing around the area. âDid he hide somewhere to give me a surprise?â
Alas, her boyfriend was nowhere to be seen.
Right then, the spectators who she had told to scram earlier began sneering, âAre you putting up an act? This car isnât yours, right?â
âHa! Look at her. Does she look like she can afford this car?â
âHow dare she ask us to scram? She should be the one who leaves!â
âLet her continue with her act. Iâm curious to see how sheâll get into the car!â
The crowdâs sarcastic comments caused the ladyâs expression to fall. She promptly placed her hands on her hips and declared, âWhat are you talking about? I canât afford this car? Donât you know how much it costs? Over two million! Can you afford it? Youâre merely penniless scumbags who know nothing!â
Right after she said that a loud roar belonging to that of a sports car came toward them.
Soon, a green Lamborghini rolled to a stop beside them.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a belly and receding hairline stepped out.
âDarling!â
The young lady leaped into his embrace and flung her arms around his huge belly. âDarling, why did you buy two Lamborghinis?â she asked in a coquettish tone.
âTwo cars?â the middle-aged man repeated in confusion. âWhat do you mean? I have only bought one!â
âHuh?â The ladyâs expression turned downcast in an instant. She pointed at the red Lamborghini and asked, âDarling, you didnât buy this Lamborghini?â
âOf course not,â the man replied as he glanced at the red Lamborghini. At once, his eyes widened in shock. âIs this that worldwide limited edition Lamborghini sports car?â
