A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 

“You…” 

“Let me guess, do you wish to know how I’d know what to do?” 

Hesper did not say anything and only gazed at the man sitting across from her with her cold eyes. 

‘Even after three years, he still thinks so highly of himself. Seeing him again really upsets me!’ 

Rickard lifted the corners of his lips and let off a smirk. “Before I 

departed here to meet you, I had already reviewed our proposal and tried to perfect it. And it’s always advisable to prepare ourselves for everything in the business field, isn’t it?” 

Hesper understood. 

‘He’s saying that he already suspected that we from Lane Holdings would make his life difficult on purpose, so he prepared himself for this outcome in advance.’ 

Rickard looked at her displeased look, and a faint hint of hilarity 

flashed across his eyes. “Ms. Lane, you’re still young. You still have a lot to learn.” 

Benji, who was standing at the side, wiped the sweat on his forehead. 

‘Mr. Duval, you spent so much time looking for her all over the world throughout the past three years. Now that she’s standing right in front of you, why are you acting so arrogantly? Is this really the right. thing to do?’ 

Hesper snorted lightly as if she did not care much about it. “In that case, please start to arrange for the project to start as soon as possible. The official opening of the branch is just around the corner, and there’s not much time left for your party to complete the project.” 

After saying so, she got up and was about to leave. 

“Wait!” Rickard pulled her back. 

Before Hesper could make any move, the bodyguards who came with her immediately stepped forward, looking extremely deterrent. 

Benji hurried forward and tried to smooth things over. “Guys, please don’t get his action wrong. Mr. Duval and Ms. Lane are old friends; they’re just catching up.” 

Rickard walked up to Hesper and stared at her silently. “Let’s talk.” 

“What’s there to talk about?” Hesper rejected him directly. 

However, in the next second, Rickard grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the room. 

“Ms. Lane!” The bodyguards dashed forward and were about to follow them out of the room. 

But Benji stood in their way deliberately and tried to stop them. “It’s okay, it’s okay. There are too many people here; they’ll just talk alone.” 

“Get out of our way!” The leader of the group of bodyguards, Isaac Lennon, glared at him exasperatedly and was about to make a move 

However, Benji signaled the bodyguards behind him with his gaze, and those men strode forward immediately to help him out. The room fell into pure chaos almost instantly. 

Benji took advantage of the mayhem to leave the scene and stopped outside the door to catch his breath. 

“Mr. Duval, I’ve tried my best to delay those men for you. It’s all up to you now…” 

“Where are you taking me to!” In the hallway, Hesper struggled with every single fiber of her being.
