Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 175

"As long as I ask, Seth will definitely help me."

Bianca's voice was so saccharine, it could melt frosting.

"Your brother-in-law spoils you rotten!" Lillian gushed, her envy barely concealed. "He's bought you a car and a house—he's so generous! Honestly, if he handed you the company tomorrow, I wouldn't even be surprised."

Bianca just grinned. "Seth's always been generous with me."

"Everyone online says, if a man truly loves a woman, he'll do anything for her—he'll spend money on her. Looks like your brother-in-law really cares about you," Carman chimed in.

Standing in the corner, Noreen silently reminded herself to tell Mr. Summers that the office elevators desperately needed maintenance. They moved at a glacial pace.

When the elevator finally arrived at the lobby, Lillian turned to Bianca. "Hey, could I borrow your car for a bit? I've never driven anything that expensive! And you can use the chance to have Seth pick you up."

Between her new car and Seth, Bianca didn't hesitate: she chose Seth.

She handed Lillian the keys, reminding her to be careful and take good care of it.

After all, it was a gift from Seth, and Bianca treasured it.

Lillian, clutching the keys, was practically bouncing. "Don't worry! I'll take care of your precious love token."

As if on cue, Bianca called Seth to ask if he could come pick her up.

Whether Seth agreed or not, Noreen never found out—she and Carman had already slipped into the evening crowd.

It was rush hour; the streets were packed.

If Carman drove her home, they'd be stuck in traffic for ages. Noreen didn't want to trouble him, insisting she'd take the subway.

Carman couldn't change her mind. All he could do was remind her to stay safe and text when she got home.

After he left, Noreen headed toward the crosswalk, making her way to the subway station across the street.

While she waited for the light to change, Lillian whizzed by in that unmistakable rose gold SUV—the same one Seth had been driving yesterday.

So it really was Bianca's.

The subway was packed as usual during rush hour. Her new apartment was farther from work than her old one, and getting around was a hassle. With more client meetings ahead, not having a car would be a real inconvenience.

She couldn't keep relying on Carman for rides forever.

"Yeah."

"Need a hand? I actually know a thing or two about cars."

Noreen hesitated, then asked, "Are you free now? Because honestly, I could use the help."

She really was clueless about cars.

Dylan arrived in no time and drove her straight to the dealership.

She had a budget in mind—nothing over a hundred grand, and she'd need to pay in installments. No way around it; funds were tight.

After hearing what she wanted, the salesperson recommended a few models.

With Dylan's help, they narrowed it down to two solid choices.

Noreen checked out the cars in person, sat behind the wheel, and found herself surprisingly satisfied.

In the center of the showroom sat the dealership's crown jewel: the exact same model Seth had given Bianca.
