Chapter 167
"How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?"
I said, "If I were, would my company still be running? She may be beautiful, but can she be as pretty as you? Besides, you can also supervise her."
Grace snorted and took out her phone. "I recorded what you just said. If you dare to act up, I will make it public."
After viewing the recording on her phone, I nearly lost my balance.
Damn, she was pretending all along. So, whether she came in to act high or cute, it was all for the record!
"You don't believe me, do you?"
My face didn't look too good, and I was angry.
She should have noticed but still stubbornly said, "I believe you, but I still want to record it."
"Delete the recording. If you don't, I’ll feel threatened by you."
I sighed. Women were really hard to handle.
"I won't delete it. You've already deceived me. What if you dump me?"
I gave in. I was being dragged into this.
"Aren't you afraid that I might have doubts?"
"Afraid!"
She said, "If you want me to delete it, come to my place tonight, and you can delete it yourself."
How did we end up talking about this again?
"I don't believe there is such a thing as pure friendship between men and women in this world. I don't believe in having a platonic female friend. I've placed all of my bets on you. You want me to lose my pants?"
"Why are you so vulgar?"
She retorted, "But you like me this way, don't you?"
I was speechless!
It seemed impossible to get her to delete the recording today. I said, "I think we haven't spent enough time together. If I wanted to, I could have had you on the rooftop that day. I wouldn't have waited until today."
"Do you think I'm disgusted because I'm not a virgin?" Grace asked.
I chuckled and said, "I don't have that kind of preference. I'm not even a virgin myself, so why should I ask you to be one!"
"I haven't reached that level of liking you yet. You don’t want me to be a man who exclusively thinks with his lower body, do you? You don't want me to forget you after I have sex with you, right?"
Grace fell silent, then looked at me with a complex expression. "John Cena, you're really different from all the men I know!"
"If I were like them, would you bet on me?"
She suddenly laughed. "That makes sense!"
She leaned in and whispered in my ear, "Actually, if you had gone to the rooftop that day, I wouldn't have let you get me. I didn't even book a room at the hotel!"
I was shocked. "Were you testing me?"
"What? Are you angry?"
I felt like she really had thoughts. Luckily, Katherine Bailey called me up at that moment. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
"Well, not really, because I wasn't planning to go up there in the first place."
I denied it, whether she believed it or not.
She gave me a charming look and whispered in my ear, "Do you believe me? I've never had a boyfriend, but I'm not a virgin because I felt those men didn't deserve me, so I broke my hymen with my hand."
I rubbed my nose. It sounded fake, but looking at her, you would also think it was true.
Just then, my phone vibrated. It was a video call from Lily Wilson. I was stunned.
How did she make a video call?
Grace also saw it and quickly came over from under the desk. I pulled her to sit on the nearby sofa and answered the video call.
"John Cena, where are you right now?"
"I'm with a client on the east side of town."
I stood up, showed her the office environment, and said, "Grace is here too!"
Grace quickly greeted, "Ms. Wilson!"
Lily Wilson frowned. "You two are sitting too close. What does this look like?"
I was speechless. She even cared about how close we were sitting.
I moved away and said, "Alright, I won't talk to you now. The client has arrived. I'll talk to you later!"
After that, I hung up the phone directly. Grace was not happy. "Is Lily Wilson being too overbearing? This is too much, right?"
I quickly said, "That's just how she is. You know that. Alright, you go out first. I have to go out later!"
"Where are you going? Take me with you!"
"Aren't you training the staff?"
Her face immediately fell.
"Alright, just bear with it for now. It's all about your work, isn't it?"
She gave me a look. "I regret being with you."
"Well, you can still leave now."
"You wish!"
She huffed, "I'll let you off the hook today. However, one day, I'll push you down!"
After Grace left, Lily Wilson sent multiple messages. "I warn you, don't sit too close to Grace!"
"Don't you know what kind of person she is? Share your location with me quickly."
I had a headache. Lily Wilson was fine in every way, but her temper was too strong. With all this going on, how could I focus on work?
I ignored her, and at that moment, Kelsey messaged me, [John, are you here?]
[Oh, I'm on my way already!]
[Great! I'm waiting for you at the school library, and I bought coffee!]
I had planned to deliver the completed documents to Ruby Hill in the afternoon, but I had to postpone it. After all, I couldn't break my promise.
As I walked downstairs and waited for a car on the roadside, I thought to myself, 'Now that I'm a boss, it could be more convincing to take a taxi every day Despite having over $3 million on me, I couldn't touch that money for the time being. I had to keep it as development capital and donate it to the Sevan Dance Association and Sevan Art Academy. Three million wasn't a little.'
Just then, I received a call from Tony. "John, they had approved the project proposal and received the first payment. "
As he spoke, I received a text message. [Your account has received a transfer from FF Media.]
The first payment received!
I have the money to buy a car now!
"That's great. I've already received the first payment here."
"You're really making money. You have to treat me to a meal!"
"Okay, but not today. Let me finish up what I have on hand, and I'll call you later!"
After hanging up, I felt really good. It was true, as what they said. Money can solve anything!
