Chapter 16
 
Tina’s eyes widened as his alluring voice echoed beside her ears. 

 

 

Was Samuel going to do it… right here?

 

That was when a phone started to ring abruptly.

 

Tina turned towards Samuel and saw the terrible look on his face then, and quickly explained, “N-No! It’s not my phone!”

 

Samuel’s expression only darkened further, and he turned to leave and answered the call, which turned out to be from Sandy.

 

“Mr. Langford,” Sandy greeted him respectfully, unaware that his call had cut short their hanky-panky. “We’ve just received a reply from Mr. Carter—he said that he would like to visit you to discuss some of the specifics regarding our joint project…”

 

“John Carter?” Samuel’s tone was quite unfriendly. “Now?”

 

Sandy seemed to detect something right then, and asked tentatively, “What would be a good time for you, Mr. Langford?”

 

Samuel took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead. John Carter was the most eccentric partner they had ever had, and if they missed this chance, there was no telling where the man would run off to next…

 

“Forget it. Let him come,” Samuel said, hanging up and turning towards Tina. “Stay right there.”

 

Just as he was about to turn to leave, she panicked and quickly tugged at his sleeve.

 

“What?” Samuel frowned, his whole body projecting a king’s imposing presence.

 

Nonetheless, Tina asked softly, “Are you leaving already? W-What about me?”

 

Most importantly, the one million and fifteen grand…

 

“Heh.” Samuel snorted, seeing through her thoughts with a single look. “I’m not leaving—I’m having a business discussion downstairs.”

 

Relieved, Tina nodded repeatedly.

 

“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”

 

The sight of her tamely holding his sleeve left Samuel with a tender feeling in his heart, though he soon firmly shook her off.
