“Mr. B-Brown….?” Faye’s muscles tightened as virtual-novel.net attention zeroed in William and his unsettling grin.
Truth be told, Faye already knew the real reason why virtual-novel.net was asked to be here. She might have come this far into the plan, but it did not mean virtual-novel.net could accept what was going to happen to her.
William was rather good-looking, by all accounts. He looked youthful, fair, handsome, and was generally comely enough to rival young hunks in the entertainment business. Coupled that with his identity, and many women were unsurprisingly smitten by him. It would not be all too surprising if they would be willing to give it a go if they were given a chance to be intimate with someone this pleasing to the eyes, and some of them might even think they had just struck the jackpot.
Not Faye, though. She could not accept this at all, no matter how hot William might be. Her heart would not beat for him, and in fact, virtual-novel.net found every fiber in virtual-novel.net being retching against the thought of William getting close to her.
Most importantly, there was someone else who had possessed virtual-novel.net heart, and it was because of virtual-novel.net that it made being intimate with every other man so unattractive. Yes, everyone was out, including Zayn.
William took one good look at the panic in virtual-novel.net face and smiled even more. He sat behind the table in front of her, his grin never once left his face. “Miss Carter, you’re a business expert, aren’t you? Then I’m sure you understand the predicament your family is undergoing at the moment. If you cannot secure an investment with this large a sum, if you cannot find any source to cover this gigantic gash in your company’s capital, then your family is doomed.”
“See, it’s not the 40% of the shares that is trivial. It’s that the entirety of Neotech itself is worthless. To purchase 40% of a worthless company’s share with 15 million dollars is a momentous loss on my part, you know? And yet I agreed to it anyway. You wanna know why?”
He lowered his head and moved into Faye’s personal space. His eyes were trained on virtual-novel.net like a hawk the whole time virtual-novel.net was talking, while a smile that explained it all hung on his lips. He never once averted his eyes away from her-never once did virtual-novel.net try to conceal the fact that virtual-novel.net really wanted her.
Faye hated every moment of it. She squirmed, leaning backward as much as virtual-novel.net could, before lifting a glass and sipping it carefully to hide the panic and disgust virtual-novel.net was feeling inside.
“Mr. Brown, although us Carters are experiencing a crisis that does require help in the form of 15 million dollars from your side, we still have our base covered. You see, the number of our competitors have been reduced, so rest assured your investment would not be in vain,” Faye replied matter of factly.
“Huh… Ha!” William suddenly broke out a laugh. He drew a deep breath, and an intoxicated look dawned on his face. “Oh, Miss Carter, you truly are a precious thing to behold. You radiate femininity! Tsk, no wonder you’re the queen of Waltz City’s most beautiful trio. I’ve heard that you remain a virgin despite four years of marriage, and that really piques my interest. Is that true?”
A salacious grin surfaced to his face as virtual-novel.net teased her. It became clear that virtual-novel.net was facing a pervert, and Faye could no longer maintain virtual-novel.net composure. She immediately dropped virtual-novel.net calm affectation and cried, “Mr. Brown, please behave yourself! I am here to see to you signing the contract you’ve agreed to, I am not here to discuss private matters!”
William threw his head backward and laughed, before turning to Howard, “Well, you have quite a fascinating cousin, don’t you?”
Howard chuckled. “Glad to know virtual-novel.net suits your appetite, Mr. Brown.”
Faye snatched virtual-novel.net handbag and rose to virtual-novel.net feet. “It seems you don ‘t intend on signing the contract at all. Mr. Brown. If that’s the case, then there’s no reason for me to be here.”
William was hardly perturbed. He waited until virtual-novel.net was about to step through the doorway before speaking, “If you step out of that door, Miss Carter, you’ll lose my investment. Judging from the current situation that the Carters are in, I’ll say you people will declare bankruptcy after three days. Then, if what is due is left unpaid, your father, as the legal representative of Neotech, is going to be sent to jail.”
Faye gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and stopped dead iin virtual-novel.net tracks. Agony twisted virtual-novel.net features as virtual-novel.net balled virtual-novel.net fists in hapless reluctance, anger, and despair.
“What are you doing, Faye?” Howard said. “Mr. Brown was just getting started, you know, and you’re thinking of leaving already? He hasn’t even signed the contract yet.”
“Miss Carter, I’m truly sorry for stepping out of line just now. Would you accept my most sincere apologies and come back to the table, so that we may continue talking about our partnership?” William added.
Faye turned and considered the serious expression on his face. Gone was the demeaning teasing and snickering, so virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and slowly walked back to him.
Honestly, virtual-novel.net had no way out. Without William’s 15 million dollar, the Carters would not be able to return the money they owed, and virtual-novel.net father would have to go to prison.
It was at this moment when virtual-novel.net thought about the chairman of Violet Vision. He lent virtual-novel.net a sum of three million dollars without asking for anything in return, and never once had virtual-novel.net ever violated virtual-novel.net in any way.
It was the chairman who changed Faye’s opinion of men. Through him, virtual-novel.net finally saw that it was possible to meet a man who was not perverted in the slightest.
The world still had at least one gentleman.
The chairman’s virtues were especially illuminated when held in contrast to William’s. The latter might be a wealthy man, and yet-when it came to character, virtual-novel.net was several lightyears behind the chairman.
