Loving Mom 275

Chapter 275

“Nate,” Luther said coolly over the phone, “your friend’s wife has racked up five million on my account. Don’t forget to settle it. You know me–I never let anyone run a tab. But since she’s your friend’s wife, I figured I’d do you this one favor.

“I heard you’ve been losing big in the stock market lately. If you can’t pay the five million, I’ll have to ask Father to cover it. I need the money to pay my employees.”

Then his full-blooded sister, Linda Hendricks, called too.

“Nate, your friend’s wife ran up a three million bill at my place a few days ago. She claimed anything Carter spent should be billed to you. Since Carter’s your friend, I didn’t want to embarrass you, so I agreed.

“I know three million isn’t an astronomical amount, and under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have brought it up. But you know how my company’s doing. If I can’t turn that money around soon, it’s going under.

“I only have three days, Nate. If I can’t get the funds in time, I’ll have to borrow from Father.”

Sharon had spent two million at his mall, five million at Luther’s, and three million at Linda’s.

Luther, his half-brother and sworn enemy, would no doubt run to their father with this if the debt wasn’t paid.

Linda-his actual sister-had no business sense to speak of. Her company was already teetering. If his friend’s wife blew three million at her establishment and he refused to pay it back, he’d be a complete bastard.

Sharon had chosen her targets well. She knew exactly who he couldn’t afford to stiff. And that’s exactly where she spent.
