“Then forget it.”
"It's no fun punishing you."
James stood at his desk with his back to her. Then he took a sip of tea from the cup. A dark expression flashed under his eyes.
Angela knew he didn’t want to spare her brother.
Angela stood up, but immediately forced herself to sit down. Then she said as calmly as she could,
"I'm not as smart as Jessica, why don’t you just tell me what you want?"
"The lobby of the Dream Club lobby was ruined. You’ll have to pay for the loss with all the money you earned for the rest of your life."
Nine out of ten of those vases that Greyson smashed were antiques.
"You don't have to worry about that, my brother will pay for any financial losses."
Angela said.
James put down his teacup and turned to look at her. He supported himself with both hands on the table, and said, ''You smash my things and you just pay for it?”
It’s like somebody returned as much money as I lent to him… that’s a loss for me."
"You can tell my brother how much you think is appropriate, and he would never ask for a bargain."
As soon as he mentioned money, Angela knew that this was negotiable. So she was less nervous than before.
"I don’t need your money."
James's eyes fell on her swollen face. He looked grim in the eyes and said, "I’m very interested in the piece of land in the new planning area of G City that the Chante group has recently purchaesd."
Angela didn’t know what to say. She could never and ever interfere in the company's affairs.
“No?
OK, just forget about it."
James spoke as if he couldn’t care less.
"I didn’t say anything!"
Only after she said it did she realize that she was too emotional. She adjusted herself and said,
“It's something that I'll have to let my brother and the others decide. It’s not my decision to make."
James curved his lips, his pupils mirroring her figure. Then he said, "You’d better move fast, I don't have much patience."
Angela nodded and frowned as he headed for the door.
The incident two years ago when she hit Jessica and end up in jail had already made her family upset with her.
This time her brother got into trouble because of her, and now he has to lost a piece of land because of it. She knew her family would hate her even more.
“Wait!”|
Her hand had just gripped the doorknob when James called out to her.
She turned back with her head down, asking,
"Anything else you want me to do, Mr. Harvey?"
"Danis will get engaged on National Day, and his family reminded me not to let you go over there and make trouble."
James picked up a cup of tea and put it to his mouth, but instead of drinking it, he inclined his head and looked at her.
Angela looked up. She hesitated and then hummed. She seemed a little sad.
There were many people with messy private lives in the circle, but she had always thought that Danis was an exception. She didn't expect him to come and mess with her before he was engaged to Cathleen.
It made her feel sick.
Seeing this, James hummed lightly and placed his teacup on the table. Then he frowned.
He wondered if she was sad because she was blocked away from Danis’ engagement party.
Angela stumbled out of the president's office with all kinds of thoughts in her mind.
DING!
The elevator arrived at the first floor.
"Hey, you're here, too?"
Raya stood outside the elevator and she seemed so surprised. "What a surprise for us to run into each other again in just one day, right?"
Angela curled her lips and got out of the elevator. Then she answered, "What a coincidence!"
Sean nodded at her and dragged Raya into the elevator. Then he quickly pressed the close button.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Raya glared at him, both hands on her waist. Then she yelled, "I still have a few things to ask her!"
Sean pushed his golden frame glasses and gave her a standard handsome smile, "It's just gossip. You don’t have to ask her."
Raya rolled her pretty eyes and muttered, "You’re such a dictator..."
“What are you saying?”
Sean asked with his right hand on her shoulder.
