Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 382

Effie said coolly, “Even if I had money, I wouldn’t buy from you. And you can forget about getting the commission.”

“You—” The salesman’s face turned red with anger.

Just then, another saleswoman approached. She smiled warmly at Effie. “Ladies, if you don’t mind, perhaps you could tell me what kind of car you’re interested in, or what you’ll be using it for, as well as your ideal price range. I’d be happy to help you find something suitable.”

Effie nodded. “Sure.”

The male salesman shot the woman a sharp look. “Lenora, are you sure you want to take this one?”

Lenora’s friendly smile faltered for a moment. She glanced at him and replied, “Hanson, it didn’t seem like your conversation with the customers was going very well. I just thought I’d help take some of the pressure off you.”

Hanson gave a derisive snort. “You’re new here—you think you need to take the pressure off me? Just don’t come running to me for help later when things go south.”

Lenora forced a polite smile, then led Effie and her grandmother away from the sales floor.

She showed them several cars and explained their features as Effie’s grandmother test drove a couple of them.

While her grandmother was occupied, Effie pulled Lenora aside and spoke in a low voice, “When my grandmother asks about the price, just tell her it’s a bit cheaper—say, around twenty thousand. I’ll make up the difference for you. Just mention some kind of special discount to make it believable for her.”

Lenora hesitated but nodded. “I’ll do my best.”

A few minutes later, Effie’s grandmother called out, “Effie, these two are both quite nice. Which one do you think is better?”

Effie replied, “I think they’re both great, but this one seems to suit you better.”

Lenora chimed in, “This is a hybrid. The electric motor kicks in when you’re driving at low speeds or starting up, which takes some of the load off the engine and helps you save on gas…”

Even though they’d looked at several cars and hadn’t made up their minds yet, Lenora remained patient, explaining everything thoroughly and never once losing her composure.

In the end, Effie made the decision and settled on a fifty-thousand-dollar model.
