“What do you plan to do? Don’t scare the teacher. I’ve already asked Emery to check and Mr. Cress isn’t a bad person. It’s not easy for Summer to open up to someone. You better not mess it up,” I nagged.

“Alright, I know what to do,” said John, waving his hand dismissively. He immediately changed the topic. “Let’s talk about your business. You haven’t asked me to do anything in quite a while. What do you have for me this time?”

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.” I shrugged and lifted my wine glass to toast him. “Teach me how to do business!”

“Business? What kind of business? Aren’t you the boss of a law firm now? On top of that, you are also the lady boss of Fuller Corporation. What else can I teach you?” John was teasing me. His shrewd eyes scrutinizing me closely, like he was trying to look into my soul.

I pursed my lips and put down my glass. I responded with a laugh, “Since I took the initiative to talk to you about it, it’s definitely not a small business. You’ll help me, won’t you?”

John took in a deep breath. “Are you short of money lately?” He asked incredulously.

“Yes! Very!” I nodded vehemently.
