Chapter 78 - Knowledges

"This is the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimate Roadster Model, in bright yellow. The peculiarity of this car is the extreme speed, indeed it can reach a top speed of 355 km/h. It has a Hydraulic assisted power steering, with 3 different Servotronic characteristics coupled with Lamborghini Dynamic Steering. About designs, the mirror is electrically operated, heated, and foldable. 

The body is engine bonnet, rear air inlets and spoiler in carbon fiber; other panels are in aluminum and synthetic material doted with a carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum front and rear frames." I started with the technical explanations, but he didn't seem impressed, he just nodded as if he already knew those things.

Was he testing my knowledge in that matter? People often did that when they saw a woman occupying an important position in a male-dominated sector. And they even did it more often if a woman was good looking, they probably thought that if I was pretty then my position was given to me and I didn't earn it.

'You shouldn't be supposed to sell cars. You should work in some fashion magazine or something.' People said as soon as they saw me there. Anyway, that wasn't as awful as being mistaken for a woman who was there only to attract male clients. 

"Why should I buy this car from the Stellantix company and not other companies?"

He raised an eyebrow, he was testing me, which was understandable since he was one of the richest men in the country. So convincing him meant a lot for the company.

"I worked here for several years of my life, I saw it grow and at the same time, I grew with the company. I saw many people change jobs, many people cry because they weren't achieving the results they hoped for and many people develop a passion for cars. When I first came here there was only a team of 10 people, now we're 350 people hired. Why our company? because of those 350 people, 170 of them are women. And they are just as good -if not better- than other men. If you support our company you support women and you will prove to the world that we're supposed to work in this industry just as much as men." 

I said, when I finished my long explanation he cupped his chin and massaged it slowly, he thinned his eyes in a thoughtful look considering my exposition.

"Is it your idea? of hiring women rather than men?" He inquired a glimpse of curiosity in his voice.

"Yes, it is. I figured that it would be easier for men to find a job in this sector so I am helping the ones who truly need help. Their work never disappoints me." 

An almost unperceivable hint of a smile on his face.

"And now tell me..." He continued before taking a brief silence.

"Why should I pick this car instead of another car. I mean why a Lamborghini?" 

I cleared my voice, I didn't like to be tested, but I knew I had to impress him or all Cameron, and my efforts to conquer him as a client would go to waste.

"That question depends on your purposes, Mr. Willey."

He grimaced folding his forehead, "what does it mean?"

I took a deep breath, fixing my posture to look more confident and more convincing.

"I mean, what do you plan to do with this car? races? an everyday car? renting?" I inquired.

Many of my clients often buy them for renting but they never admitted it. I wonder if that was Nicholas's case too, would he admit it?

"Races."

I unconsciously raised an eyebrow surprised, I didn't expect such an answer.

"Then there are better cars for racing Mr. Willey, If I may intrude in your interests."

"And what would you suggest me instead?"

I took some seconds to think then I traveled my gaze to the opposite direction and pointed at a car, "Ford Mustang maybe." I said, he followed my gaze and gazed at the car for some minutes.

"Or a BMW E-46." 

I walked to another, "but this is one of the best choices, also a Lamborghini but another model. This is the..."

"Lamborghini Huracan." We said in sync.

He smiled, "you were right. Women are better than men in this field sometimes." 

An explosion of joy filled my chest and spread in my stomach as well.

I was so happy. 

I stretched my hand and he shook it vigorously, "I will take both the Lamborghini then."

I contracted all my nerves in my body not to scream in enthusiasm.

"I hope your races go well, Mr. Willey." 

He offered me a smile and then he left, probably to pay.

As soon as he left I slipped my phone out of my pocket and texted Cameron: 'Nicholas Willey just visited the company and bought two cars! Can you hear me screaming in joy?'

I didn't know why I immediately told him, it was like I wanted to share big amazing news like that with him.

In a few minutes he texted back, 'Lily Waldorf! Congratulations! The walls trembled now I understood why, it was because of your screaming. Careful not to lose your beautiful voice!'

I giggled under my breath and then I walked back into my office smiling hugely.

If it wasn't for Cameron a client like Nicholas Willey would have never crossed the door of the company I worked for, but if it wasn't for me he would have never bought two cars.

So Simon was right, Cameron and I were an amazing team.

As I got in my office few of my coworkers knocked at the door, both of them were women and they knew Nicholas, they asked me how was the visit and after telling them they congratulated me.

They were just as passionate about cars as men, I still remember how their eyes shined when I let them drive their favorite cars.

I liked my job and mostly I liked women, that day was in honor of women working "men jobs" and being underestimated just because of that.. We're just as good as them, if not more.
