Penny Smith frowned when she heard that. “Hubby, why don’t you wait for me outside?” She asked Nathan Cross softly.
Nathan Cross glanced at Nathan Cross. “Alright,” he agreed. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Linda Brown and Nathan Cross exited David Nelson’s office. Linda Brown closed the door behind her and told Nathan Cross not to intrude no matter what would ensue. “Director Nelson hates it when his business meetings are interrupted,” explained Linda Brown.
She left afterwards, leaving Nathan Cross alone in the corridor.
Back in the office, David Nelson told Penny Smith to sit down.
He stared at her flirtatiously and professed, “I did my homework on your project, Ms. Smith. Asiatic Shopping Mall is crucial to the development of the city, so local banks like us should give it our utmost support.”
Penny Smith smiled and asked, “May I ask how much I can loan from the bank for this project? We are rather short of money.”
David Nelson gave her a nasty grin. “That’s up to me. As for the specifics, well...that will depend on how passionate you are.”
Penny Smith froze. “How passionate I am?”
David Nelson gazed at her collar longingly and chuckled. “To be honest, when I first met you, I’d thought that you were the sexiest of them all.”
“As for the loan, it would be ten million per piece of clothing you strip in front of me. By the time you strip everything, it would probably add up to about a hundred million.”
He stared at her tall figure as he continued, “If you sleep with me for one night, I’ll give you three hundred million at one go. How about that?”
Penny Smith flushed red in the face upon hearing that and stood up immediately. “I’m sorry, Director Nelson. I’m not the type of woman you’re looking for. Goodbye.”
After that, she turned around to leave the office.
David Nelson knew that all he wanted was Penny Smith from the moment he had set eyes on her.
Seeing that she was about to disappear from his life, he ran up to her and grabbed at her hand. “Wait!”
He had barely reached her before the office door was kicked open with a loud bang.
David Nelson froze on the spot, startled by the sudden sound.
Nathan Cross stood at the doorway with a stormy expression.
It took a while, but David Nelson finally recovered from his shock and flew into a rage. “Who let you barge in like that? Are you tired of living? Security! Security-”
David Nelson’s cries were cut off abruptly by a solid slap that Nathan Cross gave him across the face.
The sound of Nathan Cross’ hand coming into contact with David Nelson’s face was loud and crisp.
Blood flowed out from David Nelson’s mouth, carrying bits of broken teeth. His bloated body spun around a couple of times before collapsing onto the floor.
“You’re...you’re looking for trouble, boy! I have thirty years of martial arts training under my belt...”
David Nelson peeled himself off the floor and rolled up his sleeves, getting ready to pick a fight with Nathan Cross.
However, before he could even get into position, Nathan Cross had already sent a flying kick into his chest.
His overweight body went flying through the air like a bombshell, landing with a loud thump on the table that sent it toppling over. He struggled to stand up again.
The employees and security guards of the bank came running to check out the commotion.
Liam Harrison, the president of the bank, was shocked to David Nelson sprawled onto the ground. He turned to the security guards and ordered, “Quick! Restrain those two!”
The security guards at the scene took out their electric batons and closed in on Nathan Cross.
However, Nathan Cross simply waved his phone in their faces. “You have a lot of guts! Mr. President, come here and answer the call.”
