Chapter 41: Fake Business Plan Chapter 41: Fake Business Plan Reuben sighed deeply, clearly annoyed.

He leaned back in his chair and said bluntly, “Okay.

I need a million.” Courage froze, her eyes widening in shock.

“A million?

Where on earth am I supposed to get that kind of money easily?” Reuben looked at her, unfazed by her reaction.

“Don’t play dumb, Courage.

“There’s a business I want to start.

It’s a huge opportunity, and I need about a million to invest.

We’ll both reap the benefits.” He leaned closer, his voice lowering, as if his logic was undeniable.

I should be able to rely on you for this.

I had friends I could’ve asked, but I came to you first.
