Donald always thought that Geraldine had a thick skin, but he never imagined she'd be so shameless around him.

Pouting, Geraldine said, “Come on, I was just joking. Why so serious?”

“I've taken care of the people who were against you. Now it's your call on what to do with the Harper family's wealth. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave,” Donald replied.

“No, wait.” Geraldine pulled Donald aside and whispered, “My parents now think you're my boyfriend. They want to invite their friends in New Littbourg's business circle for dinner tonight to meet you. It'll be so awkward for me if you leave.”

Donald freed himself from her grasp. “Let's get one thing straight. I'm here to help with your family matters, not to act as your long-term boyfriend. Your awkwardness is not my concern.”

“Don't say that, Donald. As someone who used to oversee Dragon Fide Corporation, you should understand the importance of having friends in the corporate world.”
