After a long instance of deliberation, Brittany finally made up her mind to invite Jon out on a date.
Even though Jon was a womanizer, he came from a powerful family. Should Brittany refuse, she would face the repercussions.
If Jon could get that platinum member of Paradise Hotel to stop the boycott, then he could also get them to continue boycotting my family. Besides, there's no downside to marrying a man with wealth and power. Brittany concluded that her only option was to put up with Jon.
Jon soon received a call from Brittany. Coincidentally, he had been looking for an opportunity to admit to Brittany that there was nothing he could do to help her family. Hence, he agreed to meet.
An hour later, the duo met in front of Grandeur Hotel.
“Brittany, there's something I need to tell you.” As soon as the two met, Jon spoke first. He wanted to retract the boastful statements he had made the day before at Brittany's home.
“Jon, you don't have to say anything more. I stand by what I said. I'm truly grateful to you for resolving my family's situation. From now on, we can date officially!” Brittany assumed that Jon wanted her to fulfill her promise.
Given that she had already made her decision, she instantly accepted Jon's courtship.
“What did you just say? You are agreeing to go out with me?” There was an expression of disbelief on Jon's face when he heard Brittany's words.
They were far beyond his expectations.
“That's right. I said it before. If you help my family out of our trouble, I'll agree to be your girlfriend. This morning, the bosses of various hotels, factories, and large companies came to my house to apologize. They also guaranteed that they would comply with all the previous contracts. Since you helped resolve my family's difficulties, then I shall fulfill my promise.” Brittany spoke through gritted teeth.
“This...” Jon was dumbstruck at Brittany's words.
He was unaware that the problems surrounding Brittany's family had been resolved. Furthermore, it appeared as if Brittany was under the false assumption that Jon was the one who helped her.
Jon was at a loss. What do I do now? Do I just come clean with her or claim the credit? If I go along with it and take the credit, this beauty will belong to me.
As Jon ogled Brittany, whose eyes were gleaming alluringly, the desire within his heart grew stronger.
Given how Jon abruptly fell into a trance as he stared at her, she could not help but feel uncomfortable and ask, “Jon, what's the matter?”
“N-Nothing. I didn't expect how swiftly my dad would make his move. I told him just last night about your family's situation. Then today, everyone went and apologized to your family. Let's go and grab a bite to eat. Then, we can catch a movie. There's a good blockbuster movie that just premiered tonight.” Jon tried his best to appear composed as he spoke.
The moment Brittany called out his name, he had made his decision. He would first get Brittany into bed with him. As for the rest, he decided to leave it for after the act.
For the last two days, Isabella had dragged Marilyn around in her quest to get a job.
However, Isabella had become more defensive ever since the incident in the hotel.
Whenever the interviewer was a man, Isabella would be slightly triggered. Hence, she remained unemployed even after two whole days of job-searching.
It made her feel extremely dejected.
“Bella, don't be like that. Smile! Why don't we go to the movie theater tonight?” Marilyn racked her brain for a way to cheer Isabella up.
Within a split second, Isabella saw through Marilyn's intentions. Isabella's heart warmed.
“All right. I'll purchase the tickets online now,” Isabella agreed without another word. The two of them then left to get something to eat.
