Chapter 16
Wendy’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the car. She didn’t even try to hide her excitement, running her hands over the sleek exterior like a kid in a candy store.
“Zac, take a picture of
She positioned herself next to the car, using the tinted window as a mirror to fix her hair.
Of course, she had no idea the car had one–way glass. From the inside, Charlotte could see everything perfectly. But from the outside, Wendy was completely oblivious.
Charlotte tumed her head, watching Wendy like she was an exhibit at the zon.
Just as Wendy finished primping, Charlotte casually lowered the window, bringing them face to face.
“Hey there,” she greeted with a sweet smile.
Wendy froze.
“Charlotte?” Her expression twisted in shock, like she had just seen a ghost. “What the hell are you doing in there?
Just then, Zac walked up beside her.
His brows knitted as he caught sight of Charlotte in the driver’s seat. “Why the hell did you rent a Bentley?”
He didn’t even ask. He just assumed.
Wendy quickly recovered, schooling her expression into one of amusement.
You rented a car for pictures, huh?” She let out a light laugh, her voice dripping with mockery. “I mean, I heard luxury car rentals aren’t cheap. A single photoshoot must’ve cost you what–your entire paycheck?”

Wendy smirked. “Exactly. Everyone knows how much you make. Even if you post this on Instagram, people will just think you’re superficial and trying too hard. What’s the point?”

Wendy’s smirk faltered
Because, in fact, she had.
A while back, some of the socialites in her circle had been flaunting their expensive cars and designer bags, making her green with envy. She had begged her father to buy her a luxury car, but with their family’s finances in bad shape, he had refused.
Frustrated and unwilling to be outdone, she had secretly rented a Lamborghini for the sole purpose of posting it on social media.
The embarrassment of being caught off guard faded as she quickly rationalized it.
So what if she had rented a car before? It wasn’t just any car. It was a Lamborghini, worth over a million. That was leagues above the Bentley Charlotte was sitting in now.
Of course, there was no way she would admit to it, not in front of Zac
