Gregory’s eyes went wide.

“That’s just highway robbery!‘ he thought.

“Sure,” Jeffrey said without even blinking.

To him, Andrea was nothing but a headache right now. As long as he could pay her off and be done with the whole debt of gratitude, he wouldn’t hesitate to hand over 60 million dollars, let alone 20 million.

“Second,” Andrea said, her hands sweaty. “I want your word that–no matter what happens–you won’t ever try to take this money back, in any way, and you won’t give me a hard time.”

Jeffrey turned his eyes to her.

He didn’t say anything, but Andrea couldn’t shake the sense that he could see straight through her–that made her squirm.

“Are you going to agree or not?” she pressed, determined not to let him catch on.

“I can do that,” Jeffrey said, not bothering to explain. He just made up an excuse to buy some time. “But I don’t have that much cash on hand right now. It’ll take about a week.”

Jeffrey glanced over at Gregory, who was still secretly tapping away on his phone, then said lazily, “Don’t you realize you’re acting kind of weird right now?”

A shiver crawled up Andrea’s back. She forced a little bravado, “Weird? In what way?”

“I offered you all sorts of things before and you never took any of them. Now suddenly you want cash,” Jeffrey sounded relaxed, but his eyes were razor–sharp. He knew Andrea was the type to always look out for number
