“You're certain?" Sanford questioned. bsolutely," Maggie affirmed.

“Alright, then. Your choice."

Sanford did not protest. He reached for his card, extending it to the eager salesman.

"Take care of the bill."

The salesman's eyes sparkled; he wasted no time processing the payment.

Lily watched in amazement as the transaction unfolded with such ease.

A sale this Large would garner the lucky salesman a tidy sum, at least ten grand in commissions.

She'd get her cousin-in-Law to strong-arm the salesman into sharing his windfall with her.

“Remy, wouldn't you agree that your staff owes my girlfriend and brother-in-law an apology?" Sanford, with Maggie nestled by his side, issued a stern query.

With the car purchase settled, Sanford shifted his focus to the lingering issue.

Remy had pegged Maggie as just Sanford's flavor of the month, but the way he addressed her and Bart suggested a deeper bond.

Feeling the weight of Sanford's stare, Remy couldn't brush it off. He turned towards Lily and prompted, "Lily, stop sulking and apologize."

But Lily was far from convinced.

In her eyes, Maggie was just a country bumpkin, looking to snag a modestly priced car as some tycoon's side piece.

To make matters worse, she saw herself as the more attractive of the two.

If Sanford was drawn to Maggie, surely he'd be attracted to her too.

With this thought in mind, she responded in her most beguiling voice, "Mr. Robles, it's my first time working retail. I haven't mastered the art of customer service. Please, excuse me."

As she finished, she aimed a flirtatious wink his way, believing herself to be irresistible.

Sanford's eyes flashed with distaste. He Looked at Remy and questioned, “Remy, are you sure you want to retain such a clueless and shallow employee?"

Was he suggesting Lily's termination?

Remy's heart pounded in his chest. He plastered on a fake smile and offered, "Mr. Robles, Lily's apologized. Perhaps we could let this slide? I assure you I'll coach her on customer relations going forward."

Then he turned to Lily, his face stern as he rebuked her.
