"Let me make the choice for you. I know you won't betray yourself; then let's just cut to the chase. If you ever think about changing jobs, be sure to consider Pinnacle International Capital first, okay?""Is it really that simple?"Donna gave a charming smile. "Yes! I'm offering you a sincere invitation to collaborate, from the heart."Suddenly, my phone started

Oliver smirked at me and said smugly, "Even if I told the truth, what can you do about it? Mr. Hale won't blame me for such a trivial matter. You're not getting a single penny of this loan!"I ignored him and turned to Weston with a calm smile. "What do you think, Weston?"The moment I said "Weston," Oliver's smile vanished dramatically."How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Hale?" he snapped."Shut up. He can just call my name," Weston barked.Weston's sharp tone startled Oliver into silence, though his eyes were filled with confusion."Mr. Hale, what... what do you mean? How could you possibly know this... this bastard?" Oliver stammered."I told you to shut up!" Weston's face darkened as he shot Oliver a cold glare.Then, Weston turned back to me, his expression softening into a smile. "Andy, you should've come straight to me for the loan. There's no need to go through all these formalities.""Mr. Hale, I just wanted to follow the s

I winked at Donna. "Want to come with me?"Donna nodded enthusiastically. "Of course! Your shows are always so exciting. I wouldn't miss it for the world."Donna grabbed my arm eagerly and pulled me along. After a few steps, she asked curiously, "So, where are we going?""The office of the manager of the Credit Department," I replied with a mysterious smile.The next moment, Donna practically dragged me toward the elevator. It seemed even the smartest women couldn't resist a bit of gossip.Before long, we were standing in Oliver's office. Karen, who was sitting on the couch waiting, locked eyes with Donna. For a brief moment, both of them looked surprised.Karen quickly masked her reaction, putting on a frosty expression. "Andy, you never change, do you? Always leeching off women wherever you go!"It was obvious she thought Donna was my new "sugar mommy." I smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying her accusation.Rich heirs born with sil

Those words were like a bolt from the blue, making my mind go blank. I took a deep breath and quickly asked, "Wasn't the assessment going smoothly this afternoon? What problems could there be?""Well..." The clerk's tone was hesitant.After thinking for a moment, it became clear to me that a late-night call from the bank wasn't due to any routine matter. A bad feeling crept in, and I cautiously probed further. "Could you give me a hint? I don't think your bank would want to lose a quality customer so easily.""Well, alright... Please come meet our manager tomorrow. He's the one who held this up." With that, the clerk hung up.I couldn't sleep all night.The next morning, I went to the bank early. The same employee who had contacted me before led me to the manager's office. When I opened the door, I was greeted by a face that was both familiar and repulsive.It was Oliver, Karen's simp and my college classmate.I never expected that, through his fam

This question was really hard to answer. It felt hypocritical to act like a perfect gentleman around a woman I was attracted to.A thought suddenly came to me, and I asked with a playful smile, "Would you be upset if I hadn't acted like a gentleman?"Lucy's cheeks flushed as she shot me a coquettish glare. "How dare you turn the question back on me! You're so annoying! Anyway, enough of this. I'm hungry."I quickly poured her a drink, and watching her adorable expression as she ate made my heart skip a beat.In the days that followed, I kept a close eye on Karen's situation, creating opportunities for Paul to connect with her. His feedback was positive. He said their relationship was warming up.That was good news for me. But bad news wasn't far behind.Bill had already started making moves against me, deliberately targeting me in several projects. I handled the situations cautiously, and so far, he hadn't gained any advantage.Still, I knew he wou

Lucy slipped into character effortlessly, delivering an enthusiastic performance. "Oh my, isn't that the D-list male celebrity who once endorsed the Moore Group's products?"I played along naturally. "He landed that gig by spending three nights with Ms. Moore.""Isn't he a male model? His physique is quite something!" Lucy chimed in."Ms. Moore certainly drained him of his energy. I even arranged a surgeon for him," I added casually.Lucy glanced deliberately at Wilfred and said with mock surprise, "Oh my, and three guys are sharing one room... They must be difficult to please."As Lucy and I kept up our act, Karen's face turned red with rage, her eyes bloodshot.She charged at me like a mad beast, reaching for my phone. I sidestepped and gave her a little push toward Wilfred, who, much to her embarrassment, didn't bother catching her. She stumbled awkwardly but managed to steady herself.I looked at her coldly. "Ms. Moore, grabbing someone's phone

Wilfred played along, turning back to shoot me a deliberately contemptuous look. "Oh, really?"Karen immediately jumped in, her voice sharp. "Of course! Why else would he obey my every word? No matter how hard I try to drive him away, he just won't leave!"She didn't seem to notice the flaw in her logic, but Wilfred wasn't so easily fooled."Then why did he leave in the end? And, from what I heard, he even refused when Bill tried to convince him to come back," Wilfred revealed.Karen scoffed, "He's just trying to get my attention. I'm sure this was all my grandfather's idea. Why else would Grandpa keep praising him, always saying how great it would be if he returned..."Wilfred's expression grew skeptical, but Karen continued nonchalantly, "But Grandpa's completely given up on him now. After all, how could a loser like him ever be worthy of me? Besides, you're the one I've chosen, Mr. Freeman. I fell for you the moment you appeared. Otherwise, why would I ha
