Chapter 79 The Invitation
Yet, her heart was already blooming with sweetness, involuntarily fantasizing that today's client was a tall, handsome, and wealthy gentleman.
Upon their first encounter, the wealthy and handsome gentleman was captivated by her charm. Subsequently, he wholeheartedly embarked on various endeavors to win her over, perhaps even including dramatic scenarios where he risked his life to save her.
As for her, naturally, she must maintain an air of sophistication, feigning reluctance to avoid being labeled as a gold-digger. She would express sentiments about striving for a life of happiness through personal effort and determination.
In any case, such plotlines were abundant in television dramas, and Violet found herself almost embodying the protagonist from the sweet romantic series she was currently engrossed in.
And, of course, Violet was destined to accept the pursuits of the wealthy suitor in the end. After all, who wouldn't love a man both handsome and rich and utterly devoted?
Though these young women spoke lightly, they harbored pangs of envy and jealousy toward Violet. Furthermore, someone was even planning to get Kevin’s Facebook account and woo him.
Externally harmonious and friendly, these girls were internally engaged in a fierce, silent competition.
They did not wish for any individual among them to outshine the rest. Only in this way did they perceive themselves as equals and avoid feelings of imbalance. If one of them stood out, the others would naturally harbor envy and resentment.
All this unfolding drama was utterly unknown to Kevin, who was being fantasized as the ultimate wealthy catch.
After placing the car order, he began to plan how to create a romantic atmosphere and a moment of surprise for Lillian.
Just buying a Mercedes wouldn't be enough.
Kevin wanted to use this surprise to offer Lillian more romance and emotional touches, immerse her in the luxurious ambiance he had created, and seize the opportunity to win her over completely.
Tomorrow was absolutely the best opportunity to win over Lillian.
Kevin imagined the various settings he had planned for the next day. He immediately began making calls to arrange everything.
"Right! I shouldn’t have forgotten about those in my own family who love to show off," Kevin mumbled excitedly to himself and then quickly made a call. Extracting a sense of superiority from these folks was a sure hit with Lillian.
"Hello, Kevin. What's up?" Cody immediately asked impatiently as the phone connected.
"Cody. Tomorrow is your aunt's birthday, and she is also my dear mother-in-law. I would like to invite you, your parents, and your girlfriend to dinner at a hotel."
"I'll check with my parents, but I can't say for sure if we'll be available tomorrow." Fearful Cody might refuse due to a previous rejection, Kevin hastily added, "By the way, we also want to ride in your Mercedes tomorrow; remind your dad to bring his BMW X1. We want to bask in the glory of your Mercedes and BMW."
"Kevin, didn't you brag about making $100,000 a month last time? With your profitable writing, why not buy yourself a Mercedes? I know your abilities—wasn't that money you flashed last time borrowed to deceive people, right?" Cody's tone, initially impatient and unfriendly, suddenly took on a triumphant air.
"Cody! Aren't we friends? If so, please keep this a secret for me. Can you spare me some dignity?" Kevin quickly pretended as if his aspirations had been seen through and nervously responded.
"I knew it. You're just bluffing. Alright, I've got it. We'll be there tomorrow. I'll personally come to pick you up. I'll give you and Scarlett, along with your mother-in-law, the real Mercedes experience." With Cody feeling overjoyed at Kevin's submissive tone, he was already plotting to embarrass Kevin publicly the next day, to release the frustration from their last encounter, and to indulge in his moment of glory in front of the family.
"Alright! Thanks! We will wait for you to pick us up at home before 4 p.m. tomorrow, and then we will all head to the International Garden Hotel for dinner. Don't forget to pick us up tomorrow, okay?" Eager to ensure Cody would come, Kevin continued to flatter.
"Got it! See you tomorrow," Cody replied excitedly a few times before hanging up.
Kevin smiled contentedly, anticipating an enthusiastic response from Cody and his family the next day. And at the party, they would likely take the chance to ridicule and insult him.
That would be just perfect. After enduring their mockery and sarcasm, Kevin could present the gift to Lillian, which was sure to dazzle everyone present.
