Chapter 236 An Unscrupulous Man

“No, thank you. But, I appreciate your kindness, President Crane,” Courtney declined politely because she could sense the underlying threat in his words.

I can help you, but that means you have to do something for me in return.

Whatever it was, Courtney wasn’t interested.

Tobias placed his hands in his pockets. He wasn’t angry at Courtney for being ungrateful, but he didn’t intend on moving aside. “Those who know me usually call me Mr. Crane or Toby; President Crane sounds strange. Miss Hunter, if you don’t mind, how about going out for a drink with me? There are too many people here.”

Courtney frowned. The provocative implication of his words was barely disguised.

 

“I’m sorry.” Courtney shot him a glance, restraining herself from rolling her eyes at him. “I’m busy tonight. Maybe next time.”

With that, she turned around and was ready to walk in the other direction.

 

However, Tobias was faster than her as he moved to stand in front of her. “Miss Hunter, now you’re just humiliating me. Personally, I don’t mind much, but I value my reputation. If you don’t show me respect, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get what you want.”

Courtney found the situation getting increasingly absurd. How did she end up meeting such an oddball?

“What I want doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, President Crane. I don’t know how I’ve offended you, but if you’re here to find fault with me, you might as well make yourself clear.”

“You didn’t offend me,” Tobias said with a smile. “I’ve taken a fancy to you. Aren’t you trying to score Sakura Group’s order? As long as you go out and have a drink with me, I’ll just need to have a word with Mr. Willis and the order will be yours. Tell you what; I’ll even place an order for Amethyst Group’s staff uniforms for the next season. What do you say?”

“You’ve taken a fancy to me?” Courtney nearly burst out laughing. “I’m sorry. I’m not desperate to the point where I would prostitute myself to get business.”
