Given that Jessica nearly got into trouble after having dinner with Watson from the Borka Group, Jessica decided to buy her own car. That could save a lot of trouble.
Early in the morning, Jessica and Hannah arrived at Auto Mall. Jessica had decided on her future car earlier. She went to the mall for a trial. If nothing went wrong, she would just fulfill the payment.
"This one will do." Jessica nodded to the salesperson. With that, the salesperson hurried to get the receipt ready.
Jessica and Hannah had just sat down when they saw Lia Rowse walking over. She was Olivia's bestie.
"Is your friend looking for a car here, Miss Hall?" Lia greeted Jessica, seemingly politely.
Jessica knew that Lia was in Olivia's league. She didn't feel like talking to Lia, so she only nodded.
"What a coincidence! I'm here looking for a car, too. Which one did you pick, Miss Hall?"
At that time, the salesperson came back with the settled receipt and answered on Jessica's behalf, "Miss Hall ordered a BMW 7."
Lia looked at Jessica and asked, "How much does it cost?"
The salesperson thought Lia was Jessica's friend and thus said, "110, 000 dollars. Miss, if you are into this one as well, I can take you to a trial later."
With that, Lia chuckled with her hands covering her mouth. "Only 110, 000 dollars? With a family like mine, how can I buy such a cheap car?"
Auto Mall was quite crowded that day. What Lia said offended a lot of people. She embarrassed the salesperson as well.
Lia then added, "I didn't expect you to be so hard up. Can't you even afford to buy a car worth a million?"
When Hannah was about to fight back, Jessica stopped her. Jessica took over the key and said to the salesperson, "Which is the most expensive car here?"
"Rolls-Royce, bullet-proof version. It costs 1 million dollars. Are you saying...?"
"Sounds good. I think the car suits Miss Rowse well. Don't forget to introduce the car to Miss Rowse. After all, she is only willing to buy a car that expensive."
Jessica then took her bag, ready to leave. The salesperson turned to Lia excitedly and said, "Miss Rowse, would you like to take a look at that bullet-proof Rolls-Royce? You will get a discount if you pay at once."
Lia's face stiffened. She couldn't just buy the car because she wanted to. 1 million dollars was also a large amount for her.
Jessica paid for the car. After that, she called Caesar and Lance to come out for lunch. She could also take the chance to thank Caesar for his help.
Jessica hung out a lot with Caesar and Lance back in school. And they all happened to be in LA. Jessica felt content that they could meet up from time to time now. After all, adults could be quite busy.
"Jessica, are you going to take over your family's enterprise?" Putting down his mug, Caesar looked at Jessica and asked.
"Yep." Jessica nodded. Anyway, her life now was much more wonderful than her old life as Lucas' wife.
Hannah suddenly ran over. "Wait until you hear this. Mona just called me. She said she wanted to ask a favor from me. Nope, from us."
Jessica and her friends also knew Mona Gilbert from school. Mona was about to start a nightclub.
"Just say it. What are you up to?" Jessica snorted since she knew Hannah too well.
"No biggie. Mona's place opens up tonight. She wants us to go over to back her up. You know, our performance at LURE last time was quite popular. Mona hoped that we could perform at her nightclub tonight as well." Hannah smiled at Jessica.
Hannah was a party person. She hadn't had enough of the stage time last time.
"Why didn't you ask Caesar and Lance? What do you think, gentlemen?" Jessica turned to the two guys.
"I'm OK with that." Lance nodded immediately.
Caesar also nodded at Jessica with a smile. "Works for me, too."
Thus, Jessica had to agree.
Mona was indeed bold when running her business. Her nightclub Cloud Top was right across from LURE.
LURE was quite popular in LA.
The annual rent of Mona's nightclub was 1 million dollars, and Mona signed a three-year contract.
When Jessica and the others arrived, Mona was greeting some other friends of hers. Mona saw Jessica and her friends, and she ran up to them with excitement in her eyes. "Sweeties, I'll count on you guys tonight. I really want my grand opening to go well. It's all up to you guys now."
Mona looked hot tonight. Jessica raised her eyebrows and teased Mona, "Boss, you look so sexy!"
Only a few minutes after the show began, the auditorium had already gotten quite crowded.
Compared to the liveliness at Cloud Top, LURE seemed a lot quieter tonight.
Hari got bored after sitting in the booth for a long time, so he took out his smartphone.
As he swiped his phone, he asked, "Lucas, do you think there are a little less people today?"
"No." Lucas took a sip of wine and continued, "Maybe it's because a new Club opened across the street."
He froze for a moment and subconsciously looked at Lucas: "What? Let's go check it out!"
