Liam Webster was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others.
Liam, smiling, said, "Isla, I appreciate your thoughtful intention, but if I can't even afford the down payment without borrowing from others, why would I even contemplate buying a house?"
After finishing his sentence, Liam put on his shoes and said, "I'm going out first."
"Uh-huh."
Isla Astir watched Liam and Esti leave.
Once outside, Liam was stunned to see the seven-seater business car parked in the parking space.
He thought to himself,
How far is Marcus trying to play this out?
At that moment, it seemed like Liam realized something, looked at Esti and laughed, "Aha! I get it! Marcus must be in the car, right? Is he trying to give me a fright?"
Esti shook his head, "Please, don't joke around, Marcus has a full schedule today."
"Come on, stop acting! Tell me the truth, were you and Marcus schoolmates in junior or senior high school?"
"I'm an employee of Marcus," Esti replied.
