Chapter 435
I gave her a playful smack on her perky butt. "Nonsense! I hired Aria and Ms. Brown with high salaries."
"So, Mia's your good friend then?" She blinked at me, looking all suggestive.
I said, "I've never slept with her! Believe it or not!"
Lauren looked like she saw right through me. "Well, never trust a man!"
Lauren had a sharp eye. Even though she was the last one to join the company, she managed to guess my relationship with Mia. I asked, "Aren't you jealous?"
She replied, "Of course, I'm jealous, but what good does it do? I'm yours, my company’s been acquired by you, and you're so powerful that I can't bear to leave."
Seeing me a bit stunned, she smiled and said, "Alright, don't stress too much. Anyway, I think it's fine now. I have money, a business, a backer, and a man. I don't have to deal with those jerks, and when I'm in danger, there's someone to save me. I'm very satisfied."
I suddenly couldn’t read her anymore; I didn’t know why she said that. "Sorry, I am a playboy!"
She said, "Why are you apologizing? You don't despise me and treat me so well, trusting me so much. I'm already very content."
"In my heart, you're better than anyone else. I chose you, and I will protect you."
Lauren said, "You impressed me in bed. Now I find you have a silver tongue."
I was a bit embarrassed and gave her a playful slap. "Haven't you tried it?"
She rolled her eyes at me. "Aren't you going to call Ava in?"
"No, I just want to teach you a lesson right now!"
After a while, when the sex was over. Lauren took a moment to catch her breath. "John, I really can't live without you!"
Holding her soft body, I asked, "I've always wanted to ask you, why did you create that forum?"
If it weren't for the forum, we wouldn't be together now. Maybe she would be lying in another man's arms at this moment.
She said lazily, "You finally asked. I thought you wouldn't. Actually, I studied electronic information in college. Creating a forum is a piece of cake."
"But why create that kind of forum?"
She gently bit me on the chest. "Can't I have a hobby?"
"Did you ever upload anything?"
She shook her head. "No. Just looking at others is enough. I'm not an exhibitionist!"
"What about the forum now?"
"I shut it down directly!"
"Why?"
She snorted, "A lot of women were sending you messages, right? I shut it down so you wouldn't see them."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Am I that desperate?"
"It must be shut down. I have concerns about them; it’s best if you stay away."
After getting intimate with her for a while, we washed up and got dressed. Outside the door, Ava's face was red, and she could barely stand. "Mr. Cena!"
I felt a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, next time I'll call you in too." She blushed and didn't say anything, but silence meant a yes. Ava was really obedient, with excellent capabilities, so considerate and understanding, it was hard not to like her.
In the afternoon, at the bidding site, we arrived early. Several developers were already there, but they were all small developers, similar to our new company.
Lauren said, "Besides Horizon Realty Group, there's also MacroBuild Real Estate, and the famous real estate company in Sevan City, Stellar Estates, will also be here."
I asked, "So many people want this land?"
"I got some news, but I'm not sure if it's true or not," Lauren whispered. "In recent years, there's been a lot of talk about Sevan City becoming a major city, but it hasn't happened yet. Some say it's because the counties under Sevan City are holding it back, so the leaders plan to incorporate the six counties into the city and invest $50 billion to build a subway!"
"What?" I was shocked. If that was true, the property prices in those counties would definitely skyrocket.
"Some say that a subway station will be built next to the land we're bidding on. The reason the land is being sold at a low price is someone wants to make a killing!"
I was really taken aback. No wonder a big company like Stellar Estates was here to compete for this land. If a subway station was really going to be built, $135 million, even $200 million or $300 million wouldn't be enough!
I thought, 'But didn't Marry say that only Horizon Realty Group was bidding? Could it be that Stellar Estates was added later?'
At this moment, a voice came from behind. "John, what are you doing here?" I turned around and saw Phillip.
Since the last time we met at a party, we hadn't seen each other. I didn't get why he wasn't doing his job at Skyliart Group and came here instead. I hadn't heard that Skyliart Group was involved in real estate.
"If you can come, why can't I?" I frowned, seeing the badge on his chest, Prime Peak Properties Project Manager! So he switched from industry to real estate? Looked like he also left Skyliart Group.
Phillip sneered coldly and walked up to me, "Did you leave Skyliart Group?"
"What's it to you?"
Phillip said, "You're hurting my feelings. I was just concerned about you. Why didn't you go to the class reunion? Were you afraid to go or what?"
Ava stepped in front of me and scolded Phillip, "Shut up! Who are you to talk to Mr. Cena like that?" Her duties were not just as a driver but also as my personal bodyguard.
Phillip was very angry at her words, but when he saw Ava's beautiful and sexy figure, he instantly calmed down. "Miss, you must be mistaken. You're calling him Mr. Cena? He's just an ordinary employee at Skyliart Group! No, Skyliart Group isn't involved in real estate, so he must have left Skyliart Group. He's just an unemployed person now."
I said, "Ava, don't waste your time arguing with this kind of person. It's like trying to reason with a brick wall."
Phillip said coldly, "You've gone too far. Do you think I won't get someone to throw you out?"
'Throw me out?' I didn't know where he got the courage. I pulled Ava back. "Ignore him!" I completely ignored him. The more attention I gave him, the more arrogant he would become.
Phillip gritted his teeth. "You bastard!"
He said a few words to his assistant, who quickly ran out. Soon, several security guards rushed in. "Who's causing trouble in here?"
Phillip pointed at me and said, "It's him. How do you manage this place? Letting irrelevant people in? Everyone here is a wealthy boss. If something happens, can you take responsibility?" His voice was loud, attracting a lot of attention.
The head of security looked at me and said, "Are you leaving on your own, or do we have to make you?" I looked at them coldly and didn't say a word.
