Evan looked at John with a surprised expression. “So, who should pay for the drones?”
“Sir, you should,” John answered, devoid of any shame or guilt.
Speechless at his words, Evan sized him up.
John reasoned, “Mr. Seet, didn’t you say you’ll do whatever it takes to meet Ms. Lane? If you can meet her, it is worth sacrificing your money for two drones. Unless you prefer money over Ms. Lane, and if that’s the case, I’ll tell her when we meet her.”
I never thought he can sound so justified when threatening people to hold his ground. Getting bolder now, are we?
Evan smiled wickedly. “John, since you’re so good at predicting, how about resigning your position as the secretary and work in the company’s forecast team?”
John’s heart skipped a beat as he remembered the company which went bankrupt because of a false prediction was hiring a forecaster.
It’s just a few millions with two drones! Mr. Seet, do you wish for me to go bankrupt?
As expected of a capitalist.
Sighing deep down inside, John hurriedly retracted his statement. “Mr. Seet, we can take care of everything with one million.”
“Are you sure?” Evan raised his brow as John immediately replied, “Definitely.”
Jeremy and Jensen gave John a thumbs up because he knew to give in when it was due.
Thinking up a plan, Evan announced, “Alright. Damien, you stay here and look after Maya while John and Jeremy shall follow me to the Wicked Palace.”
Jeremy suggested, “Mr. Seet, maybe John should be the one staying here.”
Evan turned to look at Maya, and Maya was dragging Damien’s hand. It seems she likes Damien more.
After confirming his final decision, Evan said, “No. John had been staying back at the estate for a year, so he’s more familiar with Stephen. Once I meet Nellie, he can think of a way to meet Stephen.”
Mr. Seet has taken everything into consideration. In that case, we can all act separately if we follow his plan.
Later that night, the three of them sneaked into the Wicked Palace.
John fumbled his way alone to Stephen’s residence while Darius followed Evan to the Moonlight Pavilion, where Nellie stayed.
