Volume 3 Chapter 74 - Too quick witted (1/2)

“Hello, mister Mercado, this is your driver’s license, please confirm and receive it.”

After receiving the finely made and high class driver’s license from the beautiful Frestech Chamber of Commerce receptionist, Mercado looked at his name and picture on the driver’s license before excitedly waving his hand. He turned and ran out of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Car test center.

When he ran out, there was someone else who came in. Mercado couldn’t dodge in time and hit them.

It was a good thing that Mercado reacted fast. He quickly turned to move to the side, but he still hit that person with his shoulder.

“Peng.”

With a thud, Mercado felt that the person was very light. He only shook, but the other side was pushed back several steps and fell on their butt, letting out a sharp cry of pain.

Hearing this charming moan of pain, Mercado’s heart filled with panic.

It was actually a girl!

Mercado quickly bent over as he awkwardly reached out his hand. He said in a voice filled with apology, “Sorry, sorry. I…..I didn’t look properly, I really am sorry…..”

The young girl slightly narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mercado. The two looked at each other and were stunned.

“It’s you?”

“It’s you!”

This girl was the receptionist who had denied his request to take the driver’s license test and to buy a Magic Car when he came to the Falling Rain Valley last time.

After realizing who this girl was, Mercado became more awkward.

Last time he had angrily shouted at this girl because his great expectations had been rejected. If it wasn’t for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu coming out to explain, he would have created even more of a mess.

Thinking of how aggrieved the girl had looked back then, Mercado felt even more guilt. After thinking about it, he braced himself as he said, “This…..This young miss…..I really am sorry. Not just this time, but also last time. Last time I was too rude and I was filled with regret whenever I thought about it because chairman Xu was right. No matter what, I shouldn’t have acted that way to a beautiful girl like you. I always wanted to apologize and since I bumped into you, I…..I……”

Mercado hesitated for a bit before suddenly saying, “Can I treat you to a meal?”

Erica looked at Mercado with surprise. She thought that this person was very strange, he was just apologizing to her and now he was asking to treat her to a meal?

Wasn’t this what the male coworkers who wanted to chase after her said?

But thinking about it, Erica understood. He should be using this meal to express his apology, so she waved her hand.

“There’s no need, I didn’t put it in my heart, so you don’t need to be this polite.” Erica hesitated a bit and reached her hand out to let Mercado pull her up, while curiously looking at him.

She really didn’t put it in her heart last time. Although she had been shouted at by Mercado in front of all those people, this matter had alerted the aloof chairman Xu of Erica’s heart and the chairman even personally helped her. This had made Erica very happy and she had bragged about this matter to her coworkers and friends for a long time.

Because of this matter, the company placed more importance in receptionists like her. With the CEO Kennard’s orders, they had received special training for being scolded and even her wage had increased. It went for eight gold coins a month to twelve gold coins a month, increasing by 50%!

So to be honest, although Mercado had been very excessive in how he treated her, she had received benefits because of this. So she didn’t feel any hatred towards Mercado and was even curious about him.

Why did this person care that much about a driver’s license and owning a car?

Why did he look so disappointed and was even rude after she told him that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was only selling Magic Cars to the Fersen Carriage Company?

Could it be that Magic Cars are that important to him?

Erica curiously looked over him and Mercado’s awkward expression became deeper. He thought that Erica was thinking about what happened before and didn’t plan on forgiving him.

Seeing that Erica didn’t reply to his invitation, Mercado laughed at himself and gave Erica a bow before turning to leave.

“Hey…..That…..Mister Mercado, please wait.” Who would have thought that when he took two steps, Erica would suddenly call out to him.

Mercado looked back at Erica in a daze before saying with a look of pleasant surprise, “This young miss, are you planning to accept my invitation and to forgive me?”

“No, I didn’t care about that, but…..” Erica shook her head and pointed at the small green book that Mercado had, as she asked, “The thing in your hand should be a second grade driver’s license from our company, right?”
