Chapter 57

It seemed like Vernon thought I was here on business for Gerald. He assumed that by interfering with my tasks, he could make Gerald disappointed in me. How ridiculous. Gerald had a high level of confidence in my work abilities. He knew that if I was willing to stay and help him, the company would certainly flourish in the future. That was why he felt anxious and restless with the contract's expiration approaching. He even went out of his way to approach me, suggesting that I marry Racquelle and become a true part of the family. However, I couldn't care less for a woman like Racquelle. I wouldn't even give her a second glance, even if she were the last woman alive on Earth. Seeing that I hadn't responded, Vernon assumed he had me in a tight spot. With a smug expression, he strutted over and said, "Haha, you're scared now, aren't you? If you're afraid, then follow what I tell you to do." Vernon's confident look made it clear that he had already calculated everything in his mind.
