Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1035

Such an unpredictable situation was indeed distressing.

Brian removed the glasses from his nose and kneaded his sore eyes to smother the anxiety in him. Next, he responded to their questions. "Okay, I understand that you're worried, but it's useless to say these right now.

Silence."

He raised his hands to display a palm-down. After long years of being the bank governor, he carried immense prestige; the crowd dared not act recklessly upon hearing his words and hence the obedient silence. Even the midge man, who first voiced out the doubts, reseated himself.

Watching their reactions, Brian heaved a silent sigh of relief before continuing, "Ladies and gentlemen, do not worry. Since I've approved the thirty million loan to Miss Reed, President Fuller will definitely help us. I'm not lying. However, it is still early for that. Perhaps, he doesn't know that the loan has been approved yet."

That was the only explanation he could give in order to appease the throng, yet some of them were unsatisfied.

"Mr. Smith, you've said that we will be able to hear good news from President Fuller by tonight. That's why we've been waiting in the conference room. Otherwise, we must have gone mad to spend the white night here."

"Yeah! Mr. Smith, are you really sure that President Fuller will help us? What if he doesn't-"

"Enough!" Brian slammed the table to interrupt the person as his patience wore thin. "Since I've proposed it and I am the one approving the loan, I will bear the responsibility if President Fuller doesn't help. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Every one of them hung their head low without a word and the ire in him was slightly doused. Propping his hands on the edge of the table, he sat down again.

Even so, instead of feeling relief upon repressing his subordinates, he was on tenterhooks. Every step of his was taken as planned and not even once had they fallen through.

Now that Toby was his opponent, he was not that confident in winning the game. At this moment, he was rue to make the decision of setting Toby up just to retain his position.

If Toby decides to settle this score with me, I'll be done for this lifetime. A bitter smile appeared across his lips.

He recalled what happened this afternoon. As much as he was happy to relay the news to everyone at that time, he felt silly. How could he blurt something that was not confirmed yet?

Right when Brian dwelled on his foolishness, the door was pushed open with a loud thud. A young man in a suit dashed into the conference room with a phone in his hand.

Due to the fast pace, he kept huffing and puffing when he arrived beside Brian. He tried to catch his breath while speaking, "Greetings... Mister.... Mr. Smith..."

After a while, he failed to explain the reason for his arrival and a displeasure frown appeared on Brian's forehead. "Anything can wait. Let's wait until you catch your breath."

Brian handed a glass of water to the youngster, who was so thirsty that he gulped it down in one-go without thanking Brian. After polishing it off, he breathed a long sigh and his body relaxed at last. Although his breathing was still heavy, he could at least speak.

"Mr. Smith, there's good news," stated the excited man loudly while he looked at Brian.

"Good news?" Brian was stunned momentarily. When something flashed across his mind, his eyes widened and his countenance brightened up in excitement. "Are you saying-"

The young man nodded vigorously. "Yes. The Fuller Group contacted us to say that President Fuller is willing to transfer one billion euro from Citybank to our bank. Mr. Smith, we're saved! We don't have to dismiss our core members!"

His face turned crimson due to excitement as he spoke. Even the others in the room stood up merrily in ones and twos.
