I Choose Him, Your Worst Enemy novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Signed and Settled

The price Wynette offered was fair.

It matched the market. In fact, she even lowered it a little.

Marcus had expected her to raise the price and take advantage of the moment.

Looks like he had judged her wrong.

Wynette spoke up, “Any problems?”

Her voice snapped Marcus back to his senses. “No problems at all.”

The price wasn’t exactly what he had hoped for, but overall, he was satisfied.

Worried she might change her mind, Marcus quickly signed his name.

After signing, he stamped the contract and handed it to Wynette.

Finished.

Joanne checked everything carefully. Once she confirmed it was fine, she returned one copy to Marcus. “Mr. Whitmore, I’ll handle the next steps,” she said. “If there’s anything you need or any updates, you can contact me.”

She handed him her business card.

Marcus took it and nodded. No issues on his end.

Once the deal was sealed, Adriel straightened his clothes and stood up. “Well, looks like I won’t be working

Just like when he arrived, Adriel left quickly.

Before anyone in the room could react, he was already gone.

Only after he left did Marcus quietly let out a breath.

Wynette and Joanne exchanged a look. They both understood why.

But Adriel really did have another meeting.

In the room next door, Gavin was eating like he hadn’t seen food in days.

When he saw Adriel walk in, he frowned. “Weren’t you ordering us drinks? Where are they?”

They had just arrived earlier. After Gavin finished ordering, Adriel said he was going to get drinks.

But he stayed gone for a long time. Gavin even thought he had already let the wine breathe.

In the end, Adriel came back empty–handed.

Gavin couldn’t believe it. He kept eating while complaining under his breath.

If all his friends messed with him like this, he’d be furious.

Adriel sat down across from him, calm as ever. “We’ll go to my club later. You can drink all you want there. Don’t drink now.”

Gavin was about to argue, but after hearing that, he paused. That actually made sense.

If he drank now, the party later wouldn’t be fun at all.

He slowed his eating. No, he couldn’t get too full either. He needed to save room for drinks tonight.

Adriel lowered his head and scrolled through his phone.

Two messages popped up at the same time.

“Adriel, that was a smart move. What brought you here? You actually showed up in person–impressive. Thanks for helping Wynette.”

“Thanks for what you did tonight!”

One was from Joanne. The other was from Wynette.

Adriel sent Joanne an eye–roll emoji, then opened Wynette’s chat.

He typed, “That’s a huge favor, and all I get is a thank–you? That doesn’t feel very sincere.”

After sending it, he stared at the screen and waited.

Wynette replied quickly, “Of course not. How would you like me to thank you? Just say it. As long as it doesn’t cross any lines, I’ll do my best.
