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.

We both know your parents are wealthy.

If you ask them, they’ll give it to you without hesitation.

Besides,” he added with a pointed tone, “you’re a nurse.

Don’t tell me you haven’t saved anything from your salary by now “Just because I have a million doesn’t mean I can just give it away,” Nurse Courage said, trying to reason with him.

“Yes, I know it’s you asking, and I could help, but I need to know why you need it.

It has to be for a good reason.

I can’t just pull a million from my account without thinking it through.” “Of course, it’s for a good reason,” Reuben replied, his tone oozing entitlement.

“There’s a business I want to start.

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

Once it takes off, we’ll get married, and it’ll become our business.

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

“Besides, you’re my fiancée, Courage.

I should be able to rely on you for this.
