Chapter 154 Heard Her Cry For Help
On the real estate side, Antony was personally in charge, with Levi assisting, so William had nothing to worry about.
He was lying on the sofa, browsing through a document Wendy sent him about the assets and overall market value of WE ARE investment company. After all, this company was his own, so naturally, he wanted to know his current net worth.
"15 billion dollars! I didn't expect to accumulate so many assets. It's shocking to see the numbers." In just two to three months, William had accumulated this much wealth, with many of them being wholly owned. It made him burst out in laughter.
"There are so many profitable industries. 90% of these assets generate significant daily income for me," William expressed his satisfaction with his current achievements. Although he couldn't compare to his father and grandfather, it was still a good start.
William was in a good mood today. Seeing Fiona sleeping until the sun baked her buttocks, he couldn't help but ask, "Fiona, aren't you going to work today?"
"It's the weekend, why would I go to work? I'm not going," Fiona yawned and started looking for something to eat in the kitchen. Her top priority when waking up was always finding food.
"Well then, how about I take you out to Begonia Bar later? We'll have a meal and get a massage. Let's relax today," William suggested, as he had promised to take her out before. Today was the perfect time to take a break.
"Really? That's great! I'll go change clothes now," Fiona happily replied and stopped searching for food. She quickly went upstairs to change.
Meanwhile, in the Garcia family mansion, Norman, the head of the Garcia family, was sternly reminding Nathan in his study.
"This collaboration with FHH Group is worth four billion dollars. Make sure you don't mess it up."
"Don't worry, dad. I'll sign the contract successfully for you. But I heard that the chairman likes women, especially our Kayla. He has set his eyes on her for a long time. Why not let her accompany me for the negotiations? This way, the chances of our success will be higher," Nathan said with ill intentions, still remembering the slap that woman gave him a few days ago. This would be a good opportunity to teach her a lesson.
"Hmm, that's a good idea. Although Kayla is a bastard child, she is much more capable than you in handling matters. Let her accompany you," Norman agreed after considering for a moment. He knew the chairman had a fondness for women, and this time, Kayla's sacrifice might be necessary to ensure the success of this collaboration.
"You go prepare and bring Kayla in."
"Alright, dad," Nathan replied before leaving the study. His plan had succeeded.
Shortly after, Kayla arrived in the study. "Dad, what do you need from me?"
"We have an important negotiation with FHH Group today, but I'm afraid Nathan isn't steady enough. I want you to go with him and make sure we secure this four-billion-dollar contract," Norman reminded seriously.
"FHH Group?" Kayla knew that the chairman of this group was fond of women. Every time he saw her, he had a lecherous expression on his face, which made her feel disgusted.
"I know how he is. Just bear with it this time. The overall situation is more important. If there are any sacrifices, I will compensate you later," Norman said with emphasis, his eyes filled with self-interest. He didn't care about the possibility of Kayla being compromised.
"Understood, dad!" Kayla clenched her fists secretly. This was her father, a businessman driven by self-interest. He knew there was a high chance of her being taken advantage of, but he still had no qualms about sending her.
After leaving the study, Kayla felt exhausted, but Nathan had been waiting outside the study for her.
"Kayla, remember to consider the big picture this time! If the negotiation fails, dad will blame you and kick you out!" Nathan smirked.
"I don't need your reminder. Just focus on your own work and don't drag me down!" Kayla retorted coldly.
She intended to go back to her room, but Nathan reminded her again from behind.
"By the way, the meeting will take place at Begonia Bar. He is looking forward to seeing you."
"Got it." Kayla furrowed her brows. Knowing that the rendezvous point was an entertainment club, she knew exactly what he had in mind.
Kayla started to worry about the afternoon's negotiation. She was extremely anxious.
Around noon, William arrived at Begonia Bar with Fiona. The parking lot was filled with luxury cars like BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, Bentleys, Maseratis, Rolls-Royces, and Ferraris.
"The interior decoration is really grand." Fiona was astonished by the luxurious decoration inside. Although she had been to some high-end clubs, she rarely encountered such exquisite decor.
"Let's have lunch here. We'll then take a bath and get a massage." William planned the itinerary for the day. If he felt comfortable, he would bring Michelle here next time.
Such a great place had to be enjoyed by her as well.
"Sounds good to me!" Fiona looked at William today and found him particularly pleasing to the eye. These past few days, he had been observing her doing household chores every day, and she had cursed him in her mind several times.
William first took Fiona to the restaurant. Since he had the Supreme Gold Card, everything was free. Fiona specialized in picking the most expensive items, and the two of them ordered a table full of food, leaving the surrounding diners in awe.
"Fiona, can you finish all of this?" William was speechless at Fiona's ability to order such a variety of dishes, including lobster, foie gras, and steak, filling up the entire table.
"You brought me here, and I haven't even had breakfast," Fiona replied as she quickly started enjoying the food on the table, stuffing her mouth with various delicacies.
Seeing how delicious it was, William couldn't resist and began indulging in the food as well.
Their ravenous eating astounded the surrounding diners.
After a full hour, they finally finished all the food on the table. William felt incredibly full. He had never eaten to such an extent before.
"Now that we're full, let's go and make a reservation for a bath," William suggested as he stood up and headed toward the bathing area. Fiona rubbed her round belly and followed suit.
In this bathhouse, there were different levels of luxury. The basic option allowed multiple people to share a bath, whereas a higher tier offered individual rooms. The most luxurious experience was the hot spring room, adorned with various flowers and plants, creating an enchanting garden-like atmosphere.
"Please give me the top-tier hot spring room," William requested, as he had a supreme gold card that entitled him to free services.
Fiona was also excited about experiencing the luxury of the hot spring room.
"Please follow me." A beautiful waitress led William and Fiona to a well-decorated wooden door. Upon opening it, they found themselves in the hot spring room.
"Inside the room is the hot spring. There are changing cabinets nearby, and if you need anything, you can press the doorbell," the waitress explained before respectfully taking her leave.
Ignoring the waitress, William and Fiona walked in and closed the wooden door behind them.
Looking around the room, they admired the artificial garden, with the hot spring right in the center.
"I need to change clothes, and you're not allowed to peek," Fiona solemnly warned William before proceeding to change.
"With your figure, I wouldn't even bother looking," William smirked and began undressing.
Seeing William undress in front of her, Fiona blushed and quickly turned away.
"Hurry up, I'm going to start soaking in the hot spring," William exclaimed as he jumped into the spring wearing only his swim trunks. The temperature of the water was just right, providing a comforting sensation.
Seeing William already in the hot spring, Fiona quickly changed into her cool bikini. However, William's presence, she still felt a bit shy and reserved, and held her hands in front of her chest.
She dipped her fair and tender feet into the hot spring, testing the water temperature. Finding it comfortable, she prepared to enter the spring, but the rocks by the hot spring were wet and slippery. Due to a moment of carelessness, Fiona slipped and fell into the spring.
"Ah!" Fiona let out a cry. Luckily, William reacted quickly and rushed toward her, catching her just in time. However, their current embrace was quite ambiguous.
"Are you okay?" William, who was splashed with water, didn't mind.
"What are you doing? Put me down and stay away from me!" Fiona saw herself being held in William's arms and felt both coy and nervous, especially since they were both dressed so lightly.
"You slipped on your own, don't blame me!" William, annoyed, simply tossed Fiona into the hot spring and walked away.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of spring water, Fiona finally regained her balance in the spring. She had an unhappy expression on her face.
"William, you infuriate me. I'll... I'll bite you!" Fiona threatened as she pounced toward William with an open mouth.
William smiled faintly and playfully splashed water at Fiona, getting her face wet. After a few squeals, Fiona started splashing water back at William.
The two of them played and frolicked for quite some time before slowly getting used to each other's presence in the hot spring.
"This is so relaxing." Fiona floated in the hot spring.
William closed his eyes and peacefully floated in the hot spring as well.
However, after resting for a while, they faintly heard a familiar voice calling for help, seemingly coming from the adjacent private hot spring room.
"Why does that voice sound like Kayla?" William suddenly opened his eyes, waking Fiona up as well. "Fiona, listen, does someone in the next room need help? Is that Kayla's voice?"
Upon hearing this, Fiona listened attentively.
"It does sound like Kayla. She's calling for help. Should we go check it out?"
"You stay here, I'll go take a look." William immediately jumped out of the hot spring and grabbed a bathrobe before heading out.
As soon as he reached the adjacent room, he saw Kayla running out in a panicked state, wearing a white bathrobe. However, she was stopped by several bodyguards and Nathan outside.
