Sweet Love novel Chapter 17

Macy arrives at the villa and the servant leads her to the study.

Macy holds her hand up and knocks on the door. She pushes the door and enters. She doesn’t look very well.

Macy has no idea how Yusef knows everything about what she does. It’s not a good feeling when you know what you’ve done and said are exposed to another person.

Yusef puts his long leg on the other and scrolls his pad on the sofa casually. Upon hearing the sound, he looks up, puts his pad aside and stares at Macy with a cunning smile.

“Macy Downey, how does it feel when you get full rejections from 4 banks in a row?”

Macy looks even gloomier upon hearing Yusef’s words, “Mr. Penn, are you calling me over to humiliate me?”

Macy stresses “Mr. Penn” on purpose as Yusef’s words are on purpose.

Yusef’s eyes darken. He understands all the emotions of this lady. He pats on his side of the sofa and orders softly, “Come over.”

Macy hesitates for a moment but still can’t fight the invisible pressure this man gives her unconsciously. She steps forwards and sits down at the position a seat away from Yusef.

“I won’t bite.” Yusef raises his eyebrow, “Come over!”

Macy has no choice but to do so. She stares at Yusef seriously and speaks word for word, “I think we need to get two things straight. We did make a deal but it doesn’t mean that I have completely lost my freedom and the thing such as monitoring is unbearable for me.”

Yusef then laughs, “Macy, do you think I have that time to spy on you? How will it benefit me if I do so?”

“Well then, how do you know…”

“I don’t want to know actually. But the bank manager called. I don’t have a choice.”

Macy heard and doesn’t say anything anymore, but her frown doesn’t ease a bit.

Yusef leans on the sofa and says, “Do you know why I ask you to come here?”

Macy doesn’t say a word.

“Our deal has already started. You can come to me if you need money.”

Yusef didn’t explain, but Macy knows what he means. Indeed, as long as she can make Yusef like her, money won’t be a problem.

But she is not that kind of woman, and she is not able to switch her condition to that mode. She is very shy to ingratiate herself with him.

Facing the gaze of this man, Macy’s throat feels a bit dry and she takes a deep breath to cheer herself up. She slightly leans her upper body on Yusef, “I will…stay tonight then.”

She blushes immediately after the words come out of her mouth. She is not a lady with all sorts of romantic experiences, so a sentence is enough to make her blush.

Yusef looks down and stares at her. He is staring at her pink ear and can’t help smiling.

He grabs her waist with his hand towards himself. The loving emotion and lust are gushing out from his eyes, and he smiles very subtly, “Why bother waiting until tonight?”

While he is speaking, he turns over and puts himself on top of Macy.

After over an hour, Macy takes a shower. When she comes out of the bathroom, she sees Yusef staring at her opened bags, where a book about business is inside. She forgot to zip her bag and an opening shows what’s in her bag.

Yusef seems to be very interested and skims through it. He looks at her, feeling intrigued, “Yours?”

Macy doesn’t respond, which can be interpreted as an admission.

Since that day when she knew from Yusef that her dad said she didn’t have any talents for business, she has felt beaten. Even if the Downeys makes its reputation through doing business, Macy, as the only child of the family, was exposed more to arts and etiquette. She studied language in college, which is nowhere near business or finance. Since her dad was arrested, all the burden has been lain on her shoulders. It was until then that she finally realized that how inadequate business knowledge she has.
