"Excuse me, sir, I think you're mistaking me—"
Jack tried to clarify things, but the old man had no intention of listening to him. It was only on his third try that the old man put his tools down and glared at him.
"You're the investor Mehra told me about," he said. "If you thought you could throw your money and own this place, then you're mistaken. Only a mechanic owns a garage, and I won't give it to anyone else. You want to invest? Then show me what you can do, or you can leave like those before you."
Jack was surprised by the old man's words. However, those words only proved the man's dedication to the craft.
Convictions were the first thing to disappear during rough times, and it wasn't any different for Jack. If he had been in the old man's possible, he would have sold the rundown place to the first investor.
