Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 336 Face Off

The two men dressed entirely in black drove the car into the gateway of a grand villa. Upon arriving at the entrance, one of the men opened the door for Derrick. “Mr. Hisson, we’ve arrived. Please exit the car,” he uttered in a cold voice.

Following the man’s instructions, Derrick made his way out of the car and tidied his rumpled clothing. A teasing smile formed on his face when he noticed the luxurious villa. “It looks like your boss sees me as a valued guest. I was under the impression that I would be locked in a dark, dingy cell. Is he being more benevolent because I’m the head of a publishing company?”

When they heard Derrick’s casual remark, the corners of their mouths twitched. It was the first time they saw someone who remained so composed despite being invited to the villa.

Is he truly so bold? Or is he just foolishly conceited?

Nonetheless, their stony facades did not crack. “Mr. Hisson, please enter. Our boss is waiting for you.”

Derrick nodded at them before he strode into the villa.

Hugo, who had been notified of Derrick’s arrival, was already waiting for the latter in the lobby. “Mr. Hisson, please follow me upstairs. Our boss is waiting for you,” he called out cordially.

With what seemed like a smile, Derrick glanced at Hugo and said, “I can’t believe you guys hosted such a grand welcoming ceremony for my arrival. I’m afraid I’m undeserving of it.”

Hugo did not appear amused by Derrick’s joke. “Mr. Hisson, you should head upstairs. Our boss is not a patient man.”

Without another word, Derrick followed Hugo’s instructions. Although he had been forcibly brought here the moment he landed, Derrick’s nonchalance made it seem as if he was a distinguished guest of this villa.

As Derrick entered the study, he instantly caught sight of a broad-shouldered silhouette standing by the window. The corners of his lips twitched upwards slightly. It looks like my predictions were correct. Who else would it be if not Oscar Clinton?

“Mr. Clinton, this truly calls for celebration. What a coincidence that our paths crossed again.” Derrick clapped his hands in delight. It sounded as if he had just reunited with his long-lost friend.

Oscar turned around and sized Derrick up before pointing toward the sofa. “Take a seat.”

Derrick did as he was told. “Since you went through all this trouble to bring me here, I’m assuming you didn’t do it just to catch up with me,” Derrick said as he raised his brows.

I pulled a few strings to get them there and allowed them to stay in a villa that I purchased in Beshya. After half a month, they told me that they were leaving. Initially, I wanted to stop them. I’m sure you are aware of the feelings I have for Tiffany. I wanted to get in a romantic relationship with her. Unfortunately, she did not reciprocate my feelings. I’m not the type of man to cling to someone, so I bought them flight tickets to Zaprington.
