Chapter 5 He’s Never Trusted Her
Tim’s heart trembled.
How scary!
“Finish parking?” Anaya asked.
Tim nodded. He was still looking at Joshua warily, afraid the latter would rush over and twist his head off.
“Let’s go.”
Anaya walked inward with Tim, and Joshua got in their way.
“Is he your next target? I believe he’s a boy toy, right? Your taste for men is getting worse.”
The “he” referred to Tim.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Joshua regretted talking that way.
It sounded like he was jealous.
Anaya’s smile disappeared and said, “Tim is a nice guy. Please don’t judge others casually. In addition,”
Anaya walked to Joshua’s side and continued, “My taste for men is always bad, or why do you think I can marry you the bastard?”
Then Anaya walked into the hall of the hotel without looking back.
Tim hurriedly followed, feeling that Joshua was still staring at him, which made him feel uneasy and terrified.
Joshua stared at the two until they stepped into the elevator and disappeared.
Joshua then ordered, “Jamar, I want all that man’s information!”
Jamar lowered his head and agreed, a strange light flashing through his eyes.
“Mr. Chowne, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Anaya walked into the room, and Devin had already sat there.
“I just arrived too. Ms. Dutt, please,” Devin said as he stood up.
Anaya took a seat.
The two greeted each other. Then Devin took a sip of coffee and casually said, “Ms. Dutt looks very young, but I believe you must be very experienced; otherwise, Mr. Dutt, your grandfather, won’t give this project to you.‘
Anaya could tell Devin was questioning her capability in a roundabout way. Devin thought she was not a good choice. for cooperation.
Anaya did not try to avoid the issue and admitted, “This is the first time to do such a project.”
“What did you do before?” Devin pretended to be surprised.
“I got married after I graduated from university. I just returned to work these days.”
Devin sighed and said regretfully, “Ms. Dutt, forgive me. But I do feel insecure to cooperate with a completely green
hand.”
“It‘s not the first time that I have cooperated with Riven Group. But I used to cooperate with Mr. Dutt, I mean Mark Dutt. We are much more familiar with each other. I‘d like to cooperate with him this time, too, if possible.”
“Really?” Anaya leaned forward slightly, crossed her hands, and asked, “Mr. Chowne wants to cooperate with Mark, richt? But why? Because you two are familiar with each other or because you can make profits from your
cooperation?”
Devin‘s expression changed immediately.
“Ms. Dutt, what do you mean? Do you think that Mr. Dutt and I are working together to scam Riven Group? I am a man of my word. You‘d better have evidence!”
Devin said as if he was full of righteous indignation as if Anaya had wronged him.
Anaya smiled and winked at Tim.
Tim got the message and handed the files he had prepared to Devin.
Devin took the files, read, and could not ever keep his righteous look.
Anaya then said lazily, but threateningly like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue,
“Mr. Chowne, I find the counting record when you were cooperating with Mark weird. Would you please explain where the missing money is going?”
Devin‘s face was deathly pale, and he was unable to say a word for a long time.
Anaya stood up and walked to Devin‘s side. She whispered to Devin‘s ear softly like a demon,
“I remember that Sega Corporation is your brother–in–law‘s company, right? If he knew you were so reckless, would he keep you in the company?”
Devin was most afraid of his brother–in–law. When he heard Anaya‘s words, he could not sit still.
“Ms. Dutt, I was wrong. Please don‘t tell my brother–in–law! I will return all the money I get from Riven Group! No, no, I will double! Double!”
“Mr. Chowne, easy. I didn‘t say I was going to report you.” Saying, Anaya pulled a chair and sat next to Devin. She crossed her slender and round legs and continued, “What I lost previously is a small amount of money. You are my partner. How can I report you?”
I should never covet Riven Group‘s money!
Otherwise, I wouldn‘t be so awkward!
Devin hesitated for a long time before talking, “M, Ms. Dutt, Mr. Dutt told me not to cooperate with you. I do not know what to do...”
