Jordy wasn't foolish. There was no logical reason for a billion-dollar corporation to show interest in a small-scale financial lending business like his.

He smirked, suspecting that the Higgins Group might be in worse shape than it appeared.

Even if the Higgins Group managed to secure a loan, chances were slim they'd be able to pay it back. Jordy cast a faintly scornful look at Sylvie, his thoughts drifting as his eyes slowly swept over her.

Sylvie shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze, shielding her exposed skin with her hand and glaring back. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jordy averted his gaze and chuckled lightly. "Miss Higgins, I've invited you out many times, and you've always said no. Now that your company is struggling, you suddenly agree to meet me."

With a sly grin, he pulled a room key card from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Sylvie. "If you go to this place tonight at nine, I might consider helping the Higgins Group." He had pieced together that the banks must have turned the Higgins Group down, driving them to seek funding fro maller firms like his.

Sylvie would never have agreed to meet him if the Higgins Group wasn't desperate.

Sylvie's eyes narrowed at the room key card, her frustration boiling over. She stood up abruptly, seized the wine glass before her, and threw the contents in Jordy's face.

"Who do you think you are, trying to make a move on me? No matter how desperate things become, I'll never stoop low enough to beg someone as pathetic as you."

Seething, Sylvie turned to leave.
