Sweet Love

Chapter 14: Extra Requirements

The sudden move of this man truly startles Macy. She has a close look at the cold face, which is

extremely close to her, and goes entranced for a while.

This man is such a heartthrob.

Yusef senses Macy’s absent-minded state and lifts her chin with his hand and pinches it slightly,

“Hello?”

Macy comes to herself, but her gaze is not fully beck to normal. She pretends to be calm, “It can’t help

however clever I am. Something just can’t be solved with intelligence.”

For example, as for the crisis that the Downey’s is facing, all she needs is money, a lot of money.

Yusef loses his hand and raises his eyebrow. He sits down by the table, “Macy Downey, let’s make a

deal.”

Macy’s mind gets fresher simultaneously and slightly gasps. She takes the seat facing Yusef Penn.

“What kind of deal?”

She has no room for being bashful. What Yusef needs is what She has. What she wants to do is what

Yusef can help her with. That’s it. There’s nothing she can’t make a deal with him. They are just taking

what they need.

“Like you said the last time, as long as I can help the Downey’s, you are willing to give yourself to me,

however, I said, you and the whole Downey’s business don’t worth 150 million.”

Macy crosses her arms and her checks are a bit hot. Label her with a price is a total insult, but now,

she has no dignity.

Since she has been a person without dignity, she has nothing to lose. She pretends to smile and talks

like a businessman, “So? What do you think is a reasonable deal Mr. Penn?”

Yusef looks at Macy’s smile and gets a little surprised for her response. Things are becoming more

interesting.

“People may not know what happened to the Downey’s but you, Miss Downey should know very

clearly. The Downey’s has nothing left but its reputation. Even if I invest in it, it won’t change anything.

So, I think there’s no need to save it.”

Upon hearing his words, Macy’s expression changes.

The Downey’s is what her dad has been working for. If it is closed, how can she explain to her dad who

is still under investigation? Plus, how can her mum and Macy survive without the Downey’s?

Yusef knows Macy’s thought through the long silence. He straightens his back and leans on the chair

back and says softly, “I am a businessman, and profit is definitely the priority. I don’t want to make any

dooming attempts. The Downey’s will fail even with my money because it is an interior problem that

can’t be solved with money.”

“If you consent, I will try my best to pay the loan for the Downey’s to safe your house. In terms of what

is happening in jail, I will try to liaise with the lawyer to fight for a weaker sentence for your dad. If you

think the conditions are proper, we can make this deal.”

Macy is out of ideas at the moment. Since Yusef has made it clear, he surely has the competence to

keep his promise. But giving up on the Downey’s makes her quite scary to face her mom and dad.

Yet, if she can’t pay the loan, her family will be expelled from her house and will have to live on the

street. As for her dad, his old friends have been keeping her family in distance since the crisis

happened, let alone asking them for help.

Macy bites her lips lightly. She has weighed all the costs and benefits very clearly but she still can’t say

her decision.

“Give me some time to think about it.” She walks upstairs as she finishes talking.

Yusef is not hurried at all, because he has known what choice will Macy make.

After all, no one can help her except for him at the moment. Their cooperation is just a matter of time.

Macy locks herself in the bedroom and contemplates for an hour before she finally makes the decision.

Indeed, Yusef is smart enough to see through all the matters. Giving up the Downey’s is the best option

for the Downey’s and her.

Macy is about to tell her decision to Yusef but she suddenly sees a set of new clothes on the table in

the bedroom. Her clothes were torn. The clothes are probably sent by the maiden following Yusef’s

order.

She takes off the man’s clothes and puts on the beiges Chanel suit, which is brand new from head to

toe. Even her underwear is exactly her size.

A thousand ideas cross her mind in just a second. How many women has Yusef been with to teach him

to care women so considerately and precisely?

She walks out of the bedroom but can’t see Yusef. She learns from the maidens that Yusef is in his

study.

Macy peeks at the tray in the maiden’s hands. It’s a freshly made pot of tea. She says, “Is it for Mr.

Penn?”

“Yes. Miss.”

“Give it to me. I happen to meet him shortly.” Macy receives the tray from the maiden and goes upstairs

following the maiden’s guidance.

Macy knocks on the door to the study and enters after getting permission from Yusef.

Yusef is browsing the documents. Macy walks towards the table and carefully puts the tray at the

corner of the table. She takes a cup and pours in the tea. She puts the cup on Yusef’s right hand side.

Yusef then notices the differences, and he lifts his head to find out Macy standing in front of him. He

raises his eyebrow upon seeing Macy’s movements and says, “So there is a decision?”

Macy doesn’t rush to speak but pushes the cup closer towards Yusef, then says lightly, “Here is your

tea, Mr. Penn.”

Yusef is staring at her feeling intrigued, “Macy Downey, you are not this type of brown-nose woman.

Just tell me what you are aiming for.”

It must be something more than a cup of tea. Macy Downey has better business IQ than he imagined.

Macy smiles, “Well, nothing can really be gotten away with in front of Mr. Penn, can it? I agree to make

this deal with you, but I require putting on an extra clause.”

“Say it.”

“I hope Mr. Penn can find a job for me to live on in the Penn’s. My mum and I need to maintain our

normal life.”

Yusef takes a sip of tea but doesn’t say anything.

Actually, he has thought about getting Macy a job in his company. Macy’s initial is out of his

expectation.

“Alright, you come to my office after the Downey’s case is settled. I will let someone to arrange a job for

you.”

Macy seems to think it would be a difficult thing for Yusef to agree. She smiles at Yusef and thanks him Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

by saying, “Thank you very much Mr. Penn.”

Macy calling him in this address drives a sort of joy out of his glittering eyes.

“I’ve got to go if everything is solved.”

Macy is about to leave upon speaking.

“Hold on.”

A voice interrupts her intention; she turns over and looks at Yusef. Her feels perturbed as she senses

his tiny bit unhappiness.

“Mr. Penn…”

Yusef walks towards Macy with his eyes fixed on her emotionally, “Don’t call me Mr. Penn except in the

office again.”

Macy doesn’t understand, “Well then… what should I call you?”

Yusef pauses for a moment and turns over, “You decide.”
