    Chapter 28 Rejected Again


    “Finnegan, I heard that you just bought a full-spec Porsche 718. Hurry up and cancel it. That’s your


    family’s relocation fund.”


    After waiting for over ten minutes, Lindsey finally arrived. She immediately urged Finnegan to cancel


    the booking right away.


    “Lindsey, we haven’t received the relocation funds yet. That’s my own money,” Finnegan said with a


    smile.


    Surprised, Lindsey asked, “Your money? Didn’t Rhia say you’re dirt poor and ask me not to look down


    on you?”


    Rhia is such a bbermouth. Finnegan replied, “I have some savings from treating people these few


    years. Rhia’s birthday is in a few days’ time. So, I bought a car as a present for her. I really didn’t use


    the relocation fund.”


    Lindsey heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that Finnegan seemed like he was being truthful. “It would


    have been enough if you bought her a low-spec Porsche 718. Why did you have to buy the top-spec


    model? Why don’t I return it for you and refund you the difference?”


    “Thank you, Ms. Lindsey. As long as Rhia likes it, the price doesn’t matter,” Finnegan said


    determinedly.


    “Well, she is so lucky to have a brother like you. Lindsey decided againstmenting further. However,


    Lindsey then thought about how Finnegan addressed her and said, “It’s fine that Rhia calls me Ms.


    Lindsey, but you can’t call me that!”


    “Why not? You’re older than me anyway.”


    “No way. You can call me Linnie or just Lindsey.”


    Finnegan smiled and said, “All right, Lindsey it is. People are going to misunderstand if I call you


    Linnie.”


    Lindsey furrowed her brows and asked, “What misunderstanding are you afraid of? Am I ugly?”


    Sensing the situation had gotten out of hand, Finnegan hurriedly said, “Let’s treat you first.”


    Lindsey shot a re at Finnegan and closed the drapes.


    She didn’t feel as awkward in front of Finneganer having gone through the first treatment


    session


    175


    The treatment this time was quite fast and finished in only about ten minutes.


    Lindsey blushed crimson as she put on her clothes. “Let’s have lunch together.”


    “No can do. I have to head to Bellridge,” Finnegan said.


    Lindsey was aggrieved that she was shot down yet again. However, she didn’t want to be too obvious


    and merely hummed in response before saying, “You can’t reject me again next time. Otherwise, I’m


    going toin to Rhia and ask her to tell your mom and dad.”


    “We’ll talk next time. Bye!”


    Finnegan’s quick exit left Lindsey feeling disheartened as if their interaction had been nothing more


    than a routine treatment session. “Does he really not have any interest in me?” she wondered aloud.


    Finnegan bumped into Ximena and Yosef after heading out. They had just booked a low-spec


    718.


    Ximena snickered at the sight of him. “Oh, did you cancel your booking? I thought you would’ve at least


    waited for us to leave before you do that.”


    Either kill or ignore the people who harbor ill intentions toward you.


    Finnegan couldn’t kill Ximena. Hence, he chose to ignore her. He pretended as if he couldn’t hear her


    and walked right past her.


    However, Ximena thought Finnegan’s silence meant that he felt guilty. The smile on her face


    broadened as she said, “Don’t feel bad. I’m your cousin. I won’tugh at you. Anyway, my engagement


    party is on this Saturday. Please extend my invitation to Uncle Desmond and Aunt Quiana.”


    However, Finnegan paid no heed to her and left.


    Ximena held Yosef’s hands and said, “Darling, let’s go. We can only get the car the day after


    tomorrow.”


    Yosef whispered, “Ximena, since I’ve bought you the car and saved your face, what do you say about


    tonight?”


    “What’s the rush? I’m going to give it to you after we’re engaged. I want my first time to be


    meaningful.”


    “All right. I’ll wait a few more days.”


    Lindsey left the office right after the two of them stepped out of the store. “Lucy just sold at top-spec


    718. Therefore, her internship ends today itself. She is now our full-time employee.”

    Then, she shot a re at Wendy. “How dare you look down on others? Pack up and get your paycheck


    from the finance department. You’re fired.”


    Wendy, who was expecting to beplimented for sealing a deal, was left at a loss. She didn’t even


    get a chance to plead her case as Lindsey swiftly returned to her office right after she was done


    talking.


    “Ximena, was it your cousin who left in a Ferrari just now?”


    Yosef furrowed his brows when he noticed a Ferrari speeding away when he was about to start his car.


    Ximena traced his gaze and pouted her l*ps incredulously. “How is that possible?” Even if he all the


    relocation funds, Finnegan still wouldn’t be able to afford the Ferrari.

    It was not usible that he knew anyone driving one. “You must have gotten it wrong!” Ximena said.


    Yosef thought she was right. The car te number on the Ferrari was not from Jadeborough


    anyway.

    Then, he changed the topic and said, “Oh, by the way, my dad told mest night that granduncle will


    also be attending the engagement party on Saturday. You should behave yourself and make a good


    impression on him. Who knows, he might be in a good mood and. even offer you a job in our


    “Are you saying that Winston Haimowitz will attend our engagement party?”


    “Yes. Granduncle has been feeling under the weather recently, and he’s hoping to attend a merry


    asion like our engagement party to cheer himself up.”


    “That’s great! You’re the best, Darling!” Ximena eximed.


    Meanwhile, in Bellridge city at noon, Alisha was casting a resentful look at Finnegan. “Do you really


    take me for a driver whom you can summon at will?”


    She had driven three hours to get to Jadeborough, and yet Finnegan said he would look for her again


    whenever he required a car.


    Alisha, the granddaughter of a powerful underground leader in Walund, one of Nuthana’s ten most


    beautiful women, had never experienced such treatment from a man before.


    Finnegan looked around the vibrant streets and turned to her. “Your grandpa sent you here to obey my


    everymand. If you’re not willing to do so, you can go back home. I don’t want you to follow me


    around. It’s too risky!”


    Her natural allure and asional seductive demeanor left him feeling rather restless.


    He would have long devoured the vixen if he didn’t practice the chant in Primordial Pharmacopoeia that


    could control his lust.


    However, Alisha was not offended and deliberately pressed herself against the car door, forming an


    irresistibly enticing sight. “So, I am somehow a dangerous woman in your eyes. It seems like I am quite


    the charmer, then. It’s just that you have better self-control.”


    Her alluring voice and enticing curves made Finnegan burn with desire.


    He immediately distanced himself and said, “Tell your grandpa I’ll go over when I’m done. here. Ask


    him to get the liquor that he has been boasting about ready. If it’s any different from what I expect, he


    can expect to not stand for the rest of his life.”


    Seeing as her grandfather’s identity as the leader of the underground didn’t seem to intimidate


    Finnegan, Alisha grew more intrigued.


    With Finnegan’s back facing her, she said, “I swear I’m going to jump in bed with you.”


    Finnegan stood under a road sign for over twenty minutes after parting ways with Alisha. Only then did

    a special edition silver Lamborghini show up afterward. There was a beautiful woman dressed in all


    ck and shades sitting inside the car.


    The Lamborghini managed to garner a lot of attention the moment it pulled up.


    It came to a stop right in front of Finnegan.


    Mandy got out of the car, eyeing Finnegan from behind her sun*ses. She didn’t even catch a


    glimpse of Finnegan when she went over to seek medical attention for Howard the other day.


    However, Finnegan had just sent her a text asking her toe here to pick him. up.


    Finnegan nced at Mandy’s impa*sive demeanor and turned to look at the clock right by the road


    sign. “It’s been twenty-six minutes since I sent the text. I’ve waited for an extra six minutes.”

    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mandy knew that he was the man she was supposed to pick She was


    taken aback to see that the famed Mischievous Doctor was such a young man. and immediately bowed


    to apologize. “Dr. Larkin, please forgive me for beingte. I was stuck in the afternoon peak hour


    traffic.”


    Finnegan stepped forward, and Mandy immediately opened the car door.


    “Just this once. There is no next time.”


    “Yes, Dr. Larkin!”

    The onlookers were stumped by the sight. What’s happening? Who’s this bloke who looks like a
