Chapter 23 - What\'s Wrong?
"Okay, let\'s go in and sign for it." April was pleased she had Michael\'s help with such a big decision. They went to the manager\'s office together and the manager then drew up the paperwork.
Then she saw the amount of ￡70,770 written at the top of the contract, she held in her alarm. It was outside of her budget that she had allowed herself. She had liked the car so much that she had forgotten to look at the price. She could afford it due to her mother\'s help but she was reluctant to spend the large sum of money.
"Em.." Just as she was about to speak Michael coughed and looked at the manager, which interrupted her words.
The manager caught on quick and replied as he looked at the young girl that Michael had brought in with him.
"Oh, miss we are having a 35% sale today your total will be this." The manager pointed to the bottom of the contract in front of her ￡48,760.53.
She felt something was off as she looked between the two men and decided she would pay back all the kindness that Michael had shown her today.
April then lifted the pen from the desk and signed all the forms in front of her, she then enquired. "Would I have to wait a while before I can collect the car? "
"It usually takes about two or three days after full payment. But because you are Michael\'s friend, there\'s no need to wait." The manager was really bending over backwards for her, she knew she would have to repay Michael big time.
"Really? " She became excited instantly.
"It seems that you are keen to get the car? Big plans?" Michael asked as he beamed at her.
April nodded and smiled. "Yes, It is for work on Monday. I don\'t want to delay. Do you want me to do the procedures myself, or can you help me?"
What April left out was that in her past life she had lived for others for far too long, which led to her horrifying death in the end. She wanted to put her life and her goals first this time, she couldn\'t wait. Taking back what belonged to her from Rachel and Lucy was daunting, scary and stressful but it was something she had to do.
"Hahaha, don\'t worry young Miss. Our shop can completely handle the procedures on your behalf. If we expedite the process, it will only take half an hour.
Michael and April sat in the manager\'s office and chatted while they waited. Half an hour flew by.
Knock Knock
A knock at the door got their attention and a secretary entered, her heels were clicking on the marble floor.
"The formalities have been completed Miss, do you want to pay by cheque or by card?" The secretary smiled and waited for Aprils reply.
"Pay by card." April opened her bag and found her purse, taking out her card and handing it to the secretary. Her card had already been handed over and before long the secretary had returned with her card.
After receiving her card the secretary announced. "The procedures have been completed. The shop manager is already waiting in the garage with your new car."
April smiled at Michael and they both stood up and walked to the garage. The manager was waiting for them. The new car was parked at the side and shining brightly. The manager handed her the keys to her new black Audi A7 and April accepted them cheerfully.
"Thank you." April accepted the keys and thanked the manager., she then turned to Michael with a smile. "How can I thank you for today and for helping me?"
Michael patted her head. "You can treat me to dinner some time, but not tonight. I have a massage session."
"Oh okay, next time then." April smiled and waved as Michael got in his car and took off.
She got into her car and started the engine was almost six o\'clock when she left Imperial Motors. The car was a smooth ride and she drove the forty minutes home to Cerulean Condominium.
She felt free as she drove, it gave her a feeling of independence. She arrived at Cerulean Condominium and parked in the underground car park. Her phone then vibrated.
Buzz Buzz
April opened her bag that was on her passenger seat and took out her phone. It was her father\'s house number, she swiped her finger across to answer the call.
"Hello"
"Miss it\'s Tom."
"Oh Tom, I am glad it was you, I was worried there for a moment."
"I am sorry, I saved your number the last time you rang just in case of an emergency."
April grabbed her bag and got out of her car, the wind fluttered her long wavy black hair as she got out of the car. Her long legs exited the car as she held her phone in her hand as she walked. She looked youthful, elegant and classy. She walked into the lift as she talked to Tom.
"Emergency, what\'s wrong?"
"Your stepmother had an art appraiser come round while your father was at work, she was shoeing him around your father\'s study," Tom whispered.
April\'s eyes turned cold and her aura was murderous. She couldn\'t leave that house for one day without Rachel taking more from her and her mother.
"I see, I will be home Monday evening. Keep an eye on her for me, please. She won\'t sell my mothers paintings without my permission and she hasn\'t received them. Thanks for calling me."
"Will do miss you take care." Tom sighed in relief.
"Good evening then Tom, take care." April hung up the phone and exited the lift. She went into her condo and instantly felt better when she was surrounded by her mother\'s warmth.
Meanwhile, in the parking garage, April didn\'t know that two pairs of eyes hadn\'t left April body since she left her car.
