Taylor made his appearance by kicking over the pile of files on his office desk. The papers were scattered all over the group.
The bodyguards seemed unfazed by his actions. After they led Mikayla to Taylor, they retreated to stand guard outside the office door.
âMrs. Miller, please have a seat,â Taylor said.
He held a highball glass in his hand, with one leg casually resting on the desk.
He spoke with a nonchalant tone, âDo you know why I asked you to come here?â
âIâm not sure,â Mikayla calmly replied. âHowever, Iâd like to apologize to you. I was wrong about your involvement in Johnnyâs incidentâ
Taylor let out a mocking chuckle and said, âYouâre quite a tactful person, seeing as your apologized first. Donât you think you should apologize for Jerome who caused trouble at my place last time?â
Mikayla knew that Taylor was looking for trouble She said, Iâm sorry. I didnât know he would create such a huge commotion.â
Taylorâs mood did improve a bit after Mikayla apologized. He pointed to a large bottle of wine on the bar counter, looking at Mikayla with a playful expression.
âSince you know that you were in the wrong, you should finish that bottle of wine ast punishment. Then, we can talk about how you should repay me for the mental distress you.
have caused.â
Even if Mikayla had a good alcohol tolerance, drinking such a large bottle would inevitably.
lead to alcohol intoxication.
âI canât drink this much, Mr. Blue. You know that the incident at the bar an honest mistake. I believe youâve investigated the matter and know that Jerome already knew about Johnny âThe incident has nothing to do with me. I wasnât the one who set you up.
âBut Jerome did cause trouble at my place.â
Taylor swirled the wine glass and continued, âYou are talking as if Jerome has no feelings for you and that you are his enemy. However, I know that he cares about you very much.
â
you trying to use me to make your marriage life more spicy?â
It was reasonable that Taylor thought this way. After all, Jerome appeared in time and resolved the trouble for Mikayla when had been involved in the car accident and was trapped in the bar But Taylor didnât know that Jerome helped her not because he had feelings for her, but simply because of her identity as âMrs. Millerâ.
âMr. Blue, how about we make a bet?â Mikayla suggested.
Taylorâs handsome face showed some interest in Mikaylaâs words. âWhat do you want to bet on Mikayla said, âIf I can restore Ansoft Enterpriseâs reputation, then youâll forget about all the unpleasant things that happened between and we can continue to work together.â
Mikayla was going to talk to Taylor even if he didnât ask to see her today.
After all, she knew from her past life that Mocato Investment was the only company capable of contending with the Miller group. She certainly didnât want to miss this precious opportunity.
Mikayla initially thought that Taylor was a person who had no principles and would help Johnny no matter what. But after hearing from Betty, she was starting to see Taylor in a new light.
âAnd what if you lose?â Taylor asked.
Mikayla pointed to the cabinet full of liquor. âThen Iâll drink until youâre satisfied.â
Taylor sneered and said, âEven if you drink yourself to death, what benefit does it bring me? Iâll just be wasting good liquor â
âWhat kind of punishment do you think is appropriate then?â Mikayla asked.
Taylor said lazily, âIf you lose, then you must make Jerome publicly apologize to me.â
Mikayla refused immediately, âI canât do that.
Î Jerome would not listen to Mikayla, much less bow down to Taylor.
âIn that case, thereâs no need for me to take the bet. But since Iâm a reasonable person, you donât have to drink the wine. Thereâs something else you can do instead â
