Chapter 428 Seducing James
Seeing James and Pamela drive off in a Ferrari, Cecil and Marc looked totally defeated.
If they had another shot, they'd never mess with James again.
The price of messing with James was just way too steep!
Even though James and Pamela had left, Terry stuck around because James had some unfinished business for him.
James had Terry bring $20 million in cash, not to flaunt his wealth, but to reward the security guards who had helped him out. James had explained this to Terry over the phone.
"Was it you guys who helped Mr. Smith just now?" Terry squinted at the four security guards nearby and asked.
The four security guards seemed a bit freaked out by Terry's presence. When they heard his question, they looked conflicted, not sure how to respond.
"Answer me, was it you four who helped Mr. Smith just now?" Seeing the security guards stay silent, Terry asked again, looking a bit exasperated.
"Mr. Campbell, yes... it was us." The lead security guard hesitated for a moment and stammered a reply.
Terry nodded slightly, then pointed to the two suitcases on the ground and said, "Mr. Smith promised to give you his car, but even if you had that sports car, it wouldn't be of much use to you. You'd end up selling it for money anyway, so Mr. Smith specially prepared $20 million for you. This amount should be enough for the four of you to split, right?"
The four security guards were stunned upon hearing Terry's words, staring at him in disbelief.
They never expected James to actually keep his promise.
Earlier, when James had humiliated Casey in front of everyone, they thought James was just messing with them. So when James left, the four security guards didn't dare to bring it up.
After all, James was someone even Cecil feared, and they were just regular security guards. How could they dare to provoke James?
But to their surprise, James actually kept his promise!
The employees present looked at Pamela and the security guards with envy. If they had known it would turn out like this, they would have stood by James without hesitation.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Terry asked the security guards, his face expressionless.
"Yes, we heard." The security guards quickly nodded.
After hearing their response, Terry glanced at Cecil and Marc hiding in the corner, said nothing, and walked out of the sales office.
Meanwhile, after seeing Pamela get into the sports car, James started the car and drove towards Pamela's house.
Pamela sat in the passenger seat, her eyes filled with curiosity as she checked out the luxurious interior. She seemed to have never been in such a fancy car before.
"Mr. Smith, is this sports car new?" Pamela hesitated for a moment and asked James softly.
"Yes." James nodded slightly.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you were broke? How'd you suddenly have the cash to buy a car and our company?"
Pamela had seen James's car that day, but things were hectic, and James left in a hurry, so she didn't really pay much attention to the car, not realizing it was such an expensive sports car.
"I sorted out the problem, so now I've got money again," James explained with a grin.
Pamela nodded thoughtfully but didn't press further, knowing some things are better left unasked.
"Mr. Smith, do you really want me to be the general manager of Harmony Realty Group? I'm worried I might mess it up," Pamela hesitated and said softly to James.
"Don't sweat it, even if you don't do great, it's fine. I'm not expecting you to make a ton of money for me. Plus, I'm planning to give you 20% of the company's shares, so you don't have to work for anyone else. Just stay in the company and be the general manager!" James glanced at Pamela and said calmly.
Pamela was even more shocked hearing this, as she didn't expect James to give her 20% of the shares.
She started to doubt if she had heard correctly.
'Why is he suddenly being so nice to me? Could it be that he has feelings for me?'
A bold thought crossed Pamela's mind.
She couldn't find any other reason to explain James's actions today.
James's behavior had completely moved Pamela, so after hesitating for a moment, she slightly adjusted her skirt, revealing her long, slender legs. She then traced circles on her legs with her delicate fingers and softly asked James, "Mr. Smith, why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Do you have feelings for me?"
James was stunned by Pamela's question and quickly explained, "No, don't overthink it. I'm helping you today just to keep my previous promise. I don't have any other intentions towards you!"
Pamela's eyes showed a hint of disappointment upon hearing James's words, but she didn't say much.
A few minutes later, James finally arrived at the entrance of Pamela's neighborhood.
After parking, James let out a long sigh of relief, as the drive had been quite nerve-wracking.
It wasn't because of his driving skills, but because he had a stunning beauty sitting next to him. Pamela was wearing a short skirt, and whether intentionally or not, she would occasionally spread her legs, making it hard for James to concentrate.
"Mr. Smith, I'm here!" Pamela said sweetly to James after he parked.
James nodded slightly.
"Mr. Smith, would you like to come to my place for a drink or something?" Pamela's face blushed slightly, and she asked James expectantly.
James was taken aback by her invitation.
In the middle of the night, Pamela inviting James to her place was clearly an attempt to seduce him, wasn't it?
