Chapter 83
Sho-kun, Actually I Didn't Want To
The sales staff who had just been chased away by Hyuga Gen saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"Some people, don't they even realize how old they are? All they think about is how to seduce men."
"Exactly, the manager keeps praising her for her strong sales skills, without even considering how she sold so many cars. She's the top salesperson, she's just reaping the benefits of her own success."
"Hahahaha!"
Just then, a salesperson returned with a glass of water and, seeing his colleagues talking badly about Katase Miu, spoke up in her defense:
"I know that Miyu-neechan was never touched by those men."
The first female saleswoman to speak scoffed:
"Hey newbie, are you taking your master's side? Who knows if the two of you have ever served guests together before?"
"You you you you..."
The saleswoman who spoke up for Katase Miu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
These people are just not performing as well as others, right? Instead of looking at their own problems, they're jealous of others and talking badly about them. I'm speechless.
Katase Miu noticed the commotion over there, but knowing they were talking badly about her, she didn't pay much attention.
It's only mediocre people who aren't envied; let them say what they want.
Anyway, no one else except her husband has been there, so she has a clear conscience.
Although they were quite far away, Hyuga Gen's excellent hearing allowed him to hear what they were saying. Seeing that Katase Miu didn't react at all, Hyuga Gen couldn't help but admire her.
This woman has such a strong mentality. If it were me being talked about behind my back, I would have killed them all long ago.
Just then, Hinata Gen suddenly felt that the name Katase Miu sounded familiar, so he tentatively asked:
"Ms. Katase, who is Shoya-kun to you?"
Katase Miu looked surprised when Hinata Gen suddenly mentioned her son. Did he actually know her son?
"He's my son, Hyuga-kun. Do you know Shoya?"
"Shoya-kun, this isn't my fault."
Upon hearing that Katase Miu was indeed Katase Shoya's mother, Hinata Gen's lips inexplicably curved into a slight smile.
"Well, your name just sounds familiar. Shoya and I are both on the baseball team, so of course we know each other."
"Oh dear, since you're Shoya's friend, you're welcome to come visit us often, Hinata-kun."
"Aunt Katase, you must bring out the best to treat me."
Hinata Gen promptly changed his form of address; since he was a friend of the other person's son, it was inappropriate to address her as "Miss."
Upon learning that Hinata Gen was still her son's friend, Katase Miu became even more determined to help her son win back Akane-chan.
As time went by, Katase Miu, who was accompanying Hinata Gen to look at cars everywhere, suddenly felt that Hinata Gen's scent was becoming more and more attractive, and she was almost completely pressed against Hinata Gen.
He only dodged Hyuga Gen's occasional attacks.
Although she felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, a voice in her mind kept telling her that it was the right thing to do, and that it was all for her son.
"Yes, that's right, I did all this for my son."
The sales staff, noticing this, wore expressions of "I knew it," and then said to the salesperson who had spoken up for Katase Miu earlier:
"Look, some people are even speaking up for her. Look how shameless she is, she can't wait to be taken advantage of by the young master of the Hyuga family right here."
The salesperson who had spoken up for Katase Miu earlier remained silent after hearing this, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Akane Nanao had already chosen her desired car, a pink Porsche Taycan, and was sitting inside, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Seeing that Nanao Akane had made her choice, Hinata Gen led Katase Miu to her side.
"Akane-chan, have you made your choice? If so, let's pay the bill."
"Yes, Gen-kun, I really like this one. This is the one."
After saying that, Akane Nanao regretted it, because she hadn't noticed that Miu Katase was also next to her when she spoke.
"It's over!"
Just as Nanao Akane was bracing herself for a scolding, she noticed that Katase Miu only glanced at her with a frown but didn't say anything.
Although Akane Nanao was puzzled, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and decided it was best not to say anything.
Katase Miu was even more puzzled: Akane-chan wasn't angry at all when she saw her clinging to Hinata Gen's arm? Was she really that magnanimous?
"Since you've made up your mind, let's go pay the bill. Miss, please swipe your card."
After finishing speaking, Hyuga Gen handed the bank card in his hand to the female salesperson who had been following Nanao Akane.
Upon seeing this, the female salesperson excitedly took the bank card. If this sale went through, she would earn a substantial commission, and it was also her first sale of the month.
"Okay, sir. Here's the contract for you. We'll settle the bill after you've reviewed it and are satisfied. By the way, sir, do you have any specific requirements regarding the configuration?"
Hyuga Gen, unaware of these things, simply waved his hand dismissively and said:
"The top-of-the-line configuration is fine. Akane, you and this beautiful lady go sign the contract."
Katase Miu was now completely certain that Nanao Akane was being kept by Hinata Gen.
What she didn't expect was that Hyuga Gen would be so generous, giving away a car worth nearly 20 million yen so readily.
Can I really take Nanao Akane back?
Katase Miu couldn't help but feel a little worried, but thinking of her charm and her son, she cheered herself up again.
"I refuse to believe I can't win over a young man. So what if he's seen a lot of women?"
"oops!"
Thinking of this, Katase Miu's eyes darted around, and she pretended to accidentally twist her ankle and fall to the ground.
"No wonder Akane walks like that."
Then, a look of surprise appeared on Katase Miu's face.
"Ouch, Aunt Katase, what's wrong?"
After noticing Katase Miu's subtle movements, Hinata Gen didn't rush to help her up, but instead looked at her with concern.
Only a fool would run away in this situation. Do you really think you're the male lead who blushes at the drop of a hat?
Katase Miu looked at the worried expression on Hinata Gen's face and was speechless. According to the usual procedure, shouldn't you pretend to be a gentleman, quickly step aside, and then help yourself up?
How could she be enjoying it? If it weren't for the fact that reactions can't be faked, Katase Miu would have thought she was doing something useless.
Knowing that she had reached a point where she should stop, Katase Miu did not continue and quickly stood up with Hinata Gen's help.
After standing up, Katase Miu winked her alluring eyes at Hinata Gen.
"Thank you, Hinata-kun. If you don't mind, may I treat you to lunch?"
Hinata Gen raised an eyebrow after hearing this. Wow, he's actually being so proactive.
Shoya-kun, then I'm really sorry.
Actually, I didn't want to either.
