âLuo Anning, donât you go overboard!â Laurent barked angrily as she slammed her hand against the table and stood up abruptly.
She was obviously making things difficult for me. Does she really think she can go against me just because sheâs now the Young Madam of the Rong Family?
Laurent clenched her fists slowly as a look of resentment formed in her eyes. She wished she could turn back time and kill Luo Anning back when they were at the inn!
Had she done so, she wouldnât have to worry about it now!
Luo Anning was much calmer compared to Laurent who was boiling with fury. She ignored her petty fit and said, âMiss Laurent, youâre making it sound far more serious than it really is. Iâm just looking at the problem with concern for my companyâs interests. Miss Laurent, have you gotten your personal feelings involved?â
âThis proposal is almost perfect but why are you still turning it down? If thatâs not getting your personal feelings involved, what is it?â Laurent retorted in exasperation.
Luo Anning chuckled and knocked her fingertips against the table. âHow do you define perfection, Miss Laurent? Does perfection mean that MK Bank obtains the most profits while Baina is just an investor that puts in money without getting any profits? Youâre too naive. Baina is not a charity organization or a magic money tree that will fund MK Bank and help you tide over your crisis. When the profits are maximized, Baina should be obtaining a reasonable share of the profits too.â
Did Laurent think that I couldnât tell?
The proposal seemed to be perfect on the surface but all of the materials and sources are going to be provided by the various companies owned by Marquis York.
Theyâre just using Bainaâs money and putting it back into MK Bank.
Iâm not that silly as to give MK Bank the money to solve their cash flow issues.
Extremely stunned by her words, Laurent could not recover from the shock all of a sudden. Luo Anning stood up sluggishly and walked towards her with a smirk on her lips. âWeâre turning down this proposal. If MK Bank canât come up with a reasonable proposal within three days, youâll have to continue amending it until Iâm satisfied! Baina has plenty of time to waste with you.â
...
After berating Laurent, Luo Anning was in high spirits. As soon as she returned to the hotel, she received a call from Rong Yan.
âHow did the conference go today? Did you enjoy it?â Rong Yan asked in an alluring voice that was even sexier over the phone.
Luo Anning grabbed a glass of water, stood in front of the French window and stared at the city lights beneath her. She said smilingly, âYeah, it was. Well, Young Master Rong gave me the rights to take charge. Of course Iâd be elated.â
âSince youâre that happy, how are you going to thank me, Young Madam Rong?â
âHow would you like to be thanked?â Luo Anning asked smilingly after taking a sip of water.
She knew that he definitely wouldnât help her without asking for anything in return. He had just given her some benefits and heâs already asking for something in return.
Her words were very much to the joy of Rong Yan. He asked in an alluring voice, âYoung Madam Rong, paying me back with your body is a good option. What do you think?â
âGo to hell! All you have are lewd thoughts. Iâm going to ignore you.â
âHoney, simmer down. Weâve already done it before anyway. Thereâs nothing to be shy about, eh?â
âWhoâs being shy? Scram!â Luo Anning barked while blushing uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Rong Yan isnât here now. Otherwise he might just poke fun at me for getting shy.
âFine, if you say so.â Rong Yan was kind enough to not tease her any further. He continued, âDid you miss me today?â
Isnât he switching topics a little too quickly?
Luo Anningâs ears turned red and she asked shyly, âWhat about you? Did you miss me?â
