Zeke rolled his eyes at Nancy.

Are you serious? Are you actually that shameless?

Weren’t you just saying that I was a fat pig who bluffed my way through everything? And now all of a sudden you want to work with me?

Ha! Wouldn’t I be an idiot who was asking for it if I actually agreed?

He signed, “I’m sorry, we don’t think we can work together.”

“Why?”

“Why? You just insisted that I forged this agreement, and that I’m someone who bluffs my way through everything. I was, as you put it, ‘humiliating myself by exaggerating things’.”

“So since this agreement isn’t real, how can I work with you?”

Nancy’s face immediately flushed red.

She admitted her words earlier were a little overboard.

But even if they were, so what? I’m the freaking daughter of the Hinton family. So what if I said a few words towards that useless man?


Hmmph! He should feel honored to have even been called names by me!

“Can you not be so full of yourself?” scoffed Nancy.

“Do you really think you are solely responsible for taking over Reagan Pharmaceutical? I’ll have you know; Lacey played a big part in all of this too.”

“If Logan Hugh didn’t try to mess with Lacey, then you never would’ve gotten the dirt on him, which means this is all thanks to her. So really, Reagan Pharmaceutical should go to Lacey.”

“As for you, you’re still the useless man who’s dependent on her to survive.”

“Lacey, ask for the agreement quickly. We’ll be undefeatable if we work together. And soon, we can enjoy all the gigolos we want.”

Lacey smacked Nancy’s bottom exasperatedly. “What are you blabbing about? Gigolos? Don’t you want your hero anymore?”

The mention of her hero made Nancy tense.

Her eyes swept over everyone threateningly. “I was just joking. I don’t even know what gigolos are.”

“If any of you spill a word of this to my hero, then I’ll make you all pay!”

“Especially you, Zeke! Make sure this goes with you to the grave!”

Zeke looked at her pitifully.

I’m sorry, but your ‘hero’ just witnessed you drooling over gigolos.

Lacey returned to the matter at hand and looked at Zeke pleadingly. “Zeke, how about we work with Nancy?”

“If she doesn’t sign the contract, then who knows what the Hinton family will do to her.”

“And it’ll be a good thing too. Wouldn’t it be better if we kept everything among us?”

Zeke didn’t want to spend any more time on the matter. All he wanted to do right then was to ‘make’ a baby with Lacey.

Once she fully sobered up, his window of opportunity would be closed.
