"Brittany, I’m your subordinate now, right? You’re responsible for me. So whatever I do, you need to follow. If you don't come with me tonight, it’s your dereliction of duty as a supervisor! If you don't come, I'll just inform Jessica," Daniel said with a cheerful, yet threatening tone.
Hearing this, Brittany got angry immediately. Hands on her hips, she demanded, "Country boy, are you threatening me?"
"Of course! You've reported me so many times; what’s wrong with me reporting you once?" Daniel responded with a grin.
Brittany pointed at Daniel's nose, seething with anger, "Only women file reports!"
"Women and petty men, both can file reports. And I’m a petty man!" Daniel replied.
"You…"
Brittany stomped her foot in frustration but couldn’t do anything about this country bumpkin.
Meanwhile, back at the Millennium Builders chairman's office, Perry's phone rang. It was his daughter, Chloe Barnes, calling.
"Chloe, what's up?"
"Dad, I won't be home for dinner tonight. I might not make it back home at all."
"You won't be home? What are you up to?"
"I have a mission. I’m going to Golden Light Hill to save someone."
"Golden Light Hill? You’re going to Golden Light Hill tonight?"
But Brittany recognized it immediately. The number ended in five eights, Perry's number.
"Country boy, Perry is calling you. He’s definitely going to reject you! Even if you go to Golden Light Hill tonight, he won’t sign the contract with us," Brittany said, resorting to her usual habit of mocking Daniel.
Regardless of what Daniel did, Brittany’s first reaction was always to belittle him. Coming from the countryside, she couldn’t stand him.
"But I have a feeling, Perry won’t reject me. In fact, he might even suggest joining us tonight at Golden Light Hill," Daniel said confidently.
Daniel wasn’t bluffing. He had foreseen Perry’s fate in the office. From what he gathered, Perry’s daughter was in grave danger at Golden Light Hill tonight—life-threatening danger.
So, Daniel was certain that Perry would join them tonight at Golden Light Hill.
