Persie fixed his gaze on Calista, his voice firm and resolute, "I've made my stance clear, Calista. I want the StellarShift."
As Calista glanced at Demetrius, she couldn't help but notice the unmistakable signs of anger etched on his face.
Her attention returned to Persie, and she offered a compromise, her eyes pleading, "What if we consider getting you a car similar to Evander's, but in a different color?"
After taking a bite of his meal and swallowing, Persie raised an eyebrow, curious, "And why should I entertain that idea?"
Calista responded, her tone gentle yet persuasive, "It's truly a remarkable vehicle, Persie. Its aesthetics are captivating."
An air of indifference washed over Persie as he flatly replied, "I simply don't like it."
