Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2017

Chapter 2017 Do You Have Something To Say

Sheila raised an eyebrow curiously and stared at her father for a while before asking, “Dad, are you saying that you want to continue with the research?”

“Yes. I can’t just quit now. Do you know how much I’ve spent on that project? If I terminate it, all the resources will have been wasted.”

“But how can you be sure that we’ll get the drug if we invest more money in the research? Wouldn’t we lose more if we continue to fund it?” questioned Davin.

Patrick was speechless for a brief moment but then quickly promised that the project would be a success, for his researchers had told him that they only needed another month.

“A month? How much is that going to cost us, Dad?” Sheila was more concerned about the financial side of things. After some thought, Patrick answered, “Not much. I’ve already invested a lot in the project, so all I need now is around two billion.”

“Two billion?” exclaimed Sheila in shock.

“I’m out of options here. We have to keep the family business running, so there’s only so much I can take from the funds. If Mr. Evan is willing to lend us two billion, I promise we’ll return it in six months. With that, plus the seven hundred million I got from selling the manor, it should be enough.”

Patrick wants us to lend him two billion? Now I know why he gave us the discount. He was trying to exchange one hundred million for two billion. Wow, that’s a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Even though Davin did not appreciate being used, what worried him more was the likelihood of all that money going up in smoke.

On top of that, Davin had no idea how much exactly Patrick invested in the project. If the elderly man ended up having nothing to show for the loan, Davin knew he would be responsible for that loss, so he sighed helplessly to himself.
