Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 46 I Missed One Zero

Poppi's smile froze on her lips. What happened? Why did Hugh suddenly put on that expression to her? Which had a mixture of fondness, passion and appreciation.

"Let's take this one!" After pausing for two seconds, Poppi quickly turned her eyes to somewhere else and intentionally ignored Hugh. She turned around and shouted to Shirley, "Shirley, what do you think of this car?"

Shirley looked up at the car and nodded, "it's perfect in terms of price. Poppi, do you want to go bankrupt? "

"This car is so general. What's the big deal?" Poppi couldn't help laughing After saying that, she took a look at the price tag on the car roof. After counting down, she took a bank card out of her bag and gave it to the man for sales. "Take it!"

"Pay a deposit or..."

"Just buy it. I don't want it to be so trouble." Said Poppi.

"Got it!" The sales man stared at the card, with a sparkle in his eyes. He hurried to the cashier desk. After a while, he brought the contract and the receipt to Poppi to sign. She quickly swiped and signed her name, "done it!"

Standing next to her, Hugh was astonished with his eyes fixed on her. "I didn't know, Poppi, you are an invisible rich woman!"

"What?" Poppi sneered doubtfully and laughed, "no, I wasn't! I have accumulated some savings over the years. It's enough to buy a car. "

"Yo, since when the benefits of the magazine are so good? How much can you save for three years? " Then, she couldn't help but walk to her car. When she walked to the side of the road, she touched the

car and said, "you bought it without hesitation, with the price of 1.6 million dollars."

Poppi was looking at her car with pleasure. When she heard the last sentence from Shirley, she felt her brain "buzzing" and her heart suddenly stopped. She shouted, "how much?! I dare you say it again! "

"1.6 million dollars." Said Shirley, blinking her eyes.

Poppi also blinked her eyes and came to her senses. She suddenly reached out her hand and took out the price tag from the car and said, "one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand…… million! 1.6 million! " Poppi could not help screaming as she put on a painful look and said, "Shirley, my heart hurts. I just missed one zero! Come on, hold me... "

Seeing this, Shirley was speechless. She held on to Poppi's arm and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. On the other hand, there was nothing he could do but let out a laugh in the end.

The sales man was returning with Poppi's card. Hearing the voice, he quickly asked, "Miss. Poppi, what's wrong?"

"Hurry up, hurry up..." "Can I return my car?" Poppi grasped the seller's sleeve faintly.

The salesman's face suddenly turned red, and the corners of his mouth twitched, unable to speak for a long time.

"Really? Okay? I'll change to a cheap one... " She pointed to the car next to her and said, "I'm glad to choose that!"

"A zero was missed. Of course it would be nice." As a typical bystander, Shirley didn't care about making a fuss out of nothing.

Poppi turned around and gave her a blaming and pitiful look which made Hugh feel sorry for her and amused.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Miss. Poppi, it's not refundable for our car." The sales man finally spoke, "the contract we just signed is very clear. How about we take the contract to see it again?"

Tinkle

Before Poppi made any reply, a message popped up on the screen. Poppi took out her phone and found a message from Malcolm, which read: just got off the plane.

Poppi deleted the message all of a sudden and put the phone back in her pocket. She couldn't help but feel annoyed and thought, 'why does it have anything to do with me that if you can't get off the plane?'

Hearing that, Hugh could not help but step forward and said to the sales man, "all right. We don't have to see the contract. I will transfer the money back to Poppi and use my card later. " While saying, he took out another card from his pocket.

The man on the other side of the line took a glance at Hugh and hesitated to take the card from him.

"Hugh!" Poppi was so angry that she directly called his name. She grabbed the card and put it back to Hugh. "What are you doing? What do you mean by swiping your card? It's me who wanted to buy a car. Why did you pay? "

"I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that you might faint from the pain." Hugh smiled and shook the card in his hand, "really you don't need?"

Seeing that, Shirley was so anxious that she said, "Mr. Su, you just make us jealous. And Poppi, you're such a fool. Somebody will pay for you. Why don't you take it? Don't hesitate! "

Poppi pretended to thump Shirley. She looked at Hugh and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, please don't do that. It's more than one million dollars! If you buy a car for me, we can't be friends anymore. "

Shirley also said seriously, "Mr. Su, please take back your card. Now that more than one million can be used to cover in Poppi's card, don't worry about her."

"…… Fine. " After hesitating for a while, Hugh finally took the card back. "But if you have any difficulty, remember to tell me first."

Poppi smiled and said nothing, neither did she refute it or not.

The man made fun of Poppi and asked her to buy insurance, maintenance and so on. Poppi covered her handbag tightly and refused to give out a little money. She dragged Shirley and Hugh out of the 4S Store.

Before leaving, Poppi looked back at the car and her heart was bleeding. She must find a way to sell the car!

"It's late. How about we have dinner together?" Sitting in the car, Hugh asked.

"Okay!" She responded actively.

However, Poppi was a little depressed and nodded her head with loss in her eyes. She clicked her behavior in disapproval and prodded Poppi, "it's just a car, how can you like so! It's not that you don't have money to pay it. You have shares, don't you? "

"I'll sell my car to you, okay? For the sake of our best friend, I will give you the original price of the car. " Poppi came up with another idea.

Then Shirley pouted and said, "never mind. I can't even use up the car provided by my company. It was delivered just two days ago. Do you want to take a seat with me?"

But Poppi didn't give up. "1.6 million. I don't know if I can make it in my lifetime."

"So you mean if Mr. Su paid the car for you just now, you will never be able to escape from him in this life?" With a meaningful smile on her face, Shirley looked back and forth between Hugh and Poppi in the front row.

All of a sudden, Poppi frowned. She pinched Shirley's hand and said in a low voice, "what are you talking about! I haven't seen you for half a year. You've learned to make fun of me when you didn't have any other skills, haven't you? "

"Knock it off, we are in the car." Shirley laughed.

Poppi glared at Shirley and warned her not to talk nonsense. Shirley shrugged.

On the other side, Hugh seemed to be concentrating on driving, without saying a word until he arrived at the restaurant.

As soon as they got out of the car, Shirley's phone rang. She took a look at the phone and said to them: "you go upstairs first. I have to answer a phone call and then come back."

Without thinking too much, Poppi nodded her head and followed him to the dining room. As soon as they entered, Hugh attracted everyone's attention. From the corner of her eyes, Poppi saw several female waiters scrambled to come over.

He was led to a stall. After that, Hugh and Poppi sat face to face, drinking tea and waiting for Shirley.

"Mr. Su, I just got in the car. Don't care about what Shirley said." "She just likes talking nonsense and she doesn't have any other hobbies," Poppi was a little embarrassed.

Raising his eyes to take a look at Poppi, Hugh lowered his head slightly and with a light smile on his face, the outline of his face became extraordinarily soft and gentle. "I didn't mind. She just played a joke on us, and I will not mind..."

"Don't mess with Hugh!"

As Hugh was speaking, what Malcolm said suddenly came to her mind. Don't mess around with him. Does he treat her……

"Mr. Su!" Poppi interrupted him in a hurry, "how about we order the food first? I don't want to wait for her. She is too slow. "

Taking a sip of water and blinking slightly, Hugh didn't answer her question but asked himself, "what are you afraid of? Or, did you misunderstand something? "

"What?" Hearing this, Poppi looked up and saw the mischievous smile of Hugh. Her face suddenly turned red and faltered, "Mr... Mr. Su, what do you want to say? I There's no misunderstanding! "

"Then why did you interrupt me bashfully?" Hugh smiled and sighed, "I won't give you any burden, I just want to be a good friend with you. Because I have never met a girl as considerate as you. You know it. All collectors I have met are for the old fool. "

Hearing that, Poppi couldn't help laughing out, the relaxed smile a bit hurt in the eyes of Hugh, but unfortunately, she was busy with calming down and did not notice that.

"I knew it! Malcolm…… It's all my fault! " "Of course, I'm a good friend of Mr. Su!" Poppi smiled

"Then you can tell me about your unhappiness. And you can also tell me if anyone bullies you, okay?"

Poppi nodded her head and smiled, "okay! With your support, I will probably be casual in Ye city! "

Hugh burst into laughter and said, "then you can do whatever you want."

At this moment, his phone rang

When they were talking, the phone call from Shirley suddenly came. Poppi answered it in a hurry, "what's wrong? Why haven't you come up yet? "

"Ah, I have something urgent to deal with, so I can't go and have dinner with you. Have a good time for you with Mr. Su! Love you so much! " The bitchy voice of Shirley came, and before Poppi could speak, the phone was cut off.

"Not coming?" Hugh seemed to see through everything.

Poppi took back her phone awkwardly, "yes."

"Then let's order the dishes." "After all, you're my friend. And Shirley is my superior subordinate. She might feel uncomfortable with me," said Hugh.

'now that I've come here, it's not easy to leave now, ' Poppi thought and nodded, "let's have dinner!"

They had something in common after all, so they had a nice conversation during the meal.

"I have seen your informal essay and which was really great. It can be recorded and released as a book." Hugh couldn't help but praise Poppi. Then he turned to another topic, "but I think your mood is actually quite sentimental when I see your casual literary notes."
