Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 18

The corporation between the George Group and the hospital was in a state-owned system. The George Group was a company in architecture and commercial trade, and I took charge of the architecture program of the corporation. Mrs. Pearson’s husband was Stefan Pearson, president of the hospital.

We had signed a contract. According to the contract, the building program will finish this month and the hospital building can be put into use later. However, Stefan Pearson applied the designated fund for something else, so that the building cannot be completed.

Briefly, the rest of funds cannot be paid out at the time on the contract to the George Group.

Hearing her words, I showed a vexed smile, “Mrs. Pearson, you know that. I have married Dennis for years, but we didn’t get along well enough. He is precise! Besides, this is a great deal of money, and I cannot shoulder the responsibility if any mistakes.

Mrs. Pearson was a little upset, and she said, “In one week! You give us only one week. We will pay you off as long as Stefan has enough to meet the need.”

In fact, it’s not a difficult thing. But I paused, “Mrs. Pearson, as you know, the George Group is not a small company, so it’s way strict with turnover of funds. I have to take some risks if I do you a favor, but…”

Speaking here, I stopped, looking at her.

She seized the opportunity, asking urgently, “But what?”

Looking over at her, I hesitated, “But I can make it if I get a reasonable excuse.”

Before she said something, I continued, “I happens to have a good excuse.”

“What excuse?” She held tightly the cup, asking.
