My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Seeing him smile, I couldn't help but laugh. "But that might not be enough. You probably don't understand the Milton Group commission system. The Milton Group has always been generous to employees, and they give 20% of the money for the project to the person in charge. Hendrix's investment in this project should be at least ten million dollars. I don't need to bother with just the down payment anymore. With tha commission, I could even buy the whole house at once, don't you think?"

The smile on his face suddenly froze. He squinted his eyes at me, and said in a cold voice, "You will get twenty thousand dollars just from this favor. Miss Reid, do you know what happens when a woman gets greedy?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Oscar, how could you say that? I am not greedy. Hendrix and I have prior history, and so Milton Group should have an upper hand. Hence, I'd benefit them, but I'd benefit myself too. But in your case, if I take your money now, I would have betrayed my company for a paltry sum, disregarding future benefits. I would not be able to get a job in this industry anymore! Does it not make sense?" As I spoke, I pushed the bank card back to him with a smile. "Oscar, please investigate your target's background next time before attempt bribery. Don't pull such a ridiculous stunt again."
