Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 314

Howard had already signed the project proposal.

With a proud smile, Sarah handed the file to Cole as if offering a treasured gift, then nestled into his arms. "Cole, thank you for giving my family such an incredible opportunity. I honestly don't know how to repay you."

Cole leaned back lazily on the leather couch.

Outside, the thump of music and chatter from the club's dance floor bled through the walls, but here, it was quiet—peaceful.

He slipped an arm around her shoulders and smiled warmly. "I don't need you to repay me."

"I knew it! You're the best," Sarah purred.

She leaned in to kiss his cheek, but just before her lips could touch him, Cole caught her chin in his hand. His gaze turned dark and unreadable as he stared straight into her eyes.

"Just so you know, the Jansen family isn't the only one on this project. There are other investors, and they're waiting for someone to come negotiate. A few of them are some filthy old men. You're beautiful, so I'm worried about you."

Sarah's heart skipped a beat. So, he really was worried about her. Still, the last thing she wanted was to deal with some lecherous old men.

Her fingers slid teasingly down to his abs, tracing slow circles as she gave a sly laugh. "Jansen Group has plenty of people. I don't need to negotiate by myself. I'll send someone else."

Cole caught her hand and lifted a brow. "And if you send some nobody, what do you think people will say? That Jansen Group doesn't respect its partners?"

"Then, what should I do?" Sarah pouted, looking frustrated.

His grip on her wrist tightened just slightly.

Although they were sisters, they were different. If it were Serena sitting here, she would've already found another way to handle things without all the pouting.

Cole reined in his irritation and offered a suggestion. "Don't you have a sister? If she goes instead of you, what difference does it make?"
