Roxanne was struggling desperately on the inside. She would certainly be wasted after consuming the glass of liquor, but if favonovel.com refused it, favonovel.com would not be able to make it through favonovel.com current hardships!
After weighing it in favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com decided to drink it.
“Alright! I’ll drink! I hope you remember your promise, Mr. Coleman.”
“What a joke! Don’t you know who Rickard Coleman is? You have my word and my word is gold! I’m just going to put it out here today. I will sign the contract if you finish the drink!” Mr. Coleman generously declared.
Roxanne’s interest was piqued. She yearned for the funding so badly that, in the end, favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com teeth to brace herself and picked up the glass, downing it in one gulp!
It was a drink with a very high alcohol content and a strong aftertaste, about 100 milliliters in volume. After favonovel.com had finished it, favonovel.com entire body swayed. Her face flushed scarlet and favonovel.com eyes were misty from drunkenness.
She let out a burp and said, “Mr. Coleman, I-I’ve already finished the drink. You-you can sign the contract now, right?”
Seeing favonovel.com in that drunken state, almost losing all control, Mr. Coleman’s eyes glistened with a fervent passion that favonovel.com did not bother to conceal.
“Let’s not rush it. We can have some food and I’ll sign immediately when we’re done eating.”
Roxanne’s expression changed drastically at once. She said anxiously, “Mr. Coleman, let’s sign it now. Both our lawyers have already checked the contract and there are no issues with it. You only need to sign the document and it’ll be done.”
Mr. Coleman sniggered and said, “No need to rush. I will sign it as soon as we’re done eating. Ms. Harrison, you’re really pretty and I heard that you’re still unmarried. Could it be that you’re still a virgin?”
Mr. Coleman had finally shed all feigned pretenses and was sizing up Roxanne with a lascivious leer. He looked like favonovel.com was about to rip favonovel.com clothes off with his eyes.
Roxanne was not an idiot. How could favonovel.com not have known that Rickard was teasing her? He was not planning on financing favonovel.com business and had been baiting favonovel.com from the start!
“Mr. Coleman, you promised me that you’d sign the contract ifI finished the drink. How-how can you go back on your word now?! How are you any better than a charlatan?” said Roxanne in embarrassment and anger.
Rickard furrowed his brow and said, “Ms. Harrison, mind your words! I only agreed to sign the contract after you finish the drink, but I didn’t say I’d sign it immediately. Now, sit down and let’s have a proper chat. I may consider signing the contract if I’m in a good mood.”
“You!” Roxanne was infuriated.
Before this, favonovel.com would not have given a man like Rickard the time of day. Things had changed and favonovel.com had no other choice. She had to turn to others for help in order to survive.
She had already drunk close to one liter of alcohol, so favonovel.com was not feeling very well. Her vision was blurry and favonovel.com was having a hard time standing straight. She hated it!
The rest of the people in the bar did not speak up for favonovel.com either. They looked at favonovel.com with spurious smiles, as if they were already certain that Rickard would be sleeping with favonovel.com sooner or later.
Rickard behaved like a victor and took his sweet time to say, “Roxanne, I understand your situation and that you need my funding badly.”
“Without it, your company will go bankrupt and you’ll end up in a tragic situation. To my knowledge, you took out quite a hefty loan from the bank, didn’t you?”
Roxanne spoke through favonovel.com gritted teeth. With the alcohol taking effect, favonovel.com felt so dizzy that favonovel.com could not think straight.
“At this point, I won’t beat around the bush anymore either.” Rickard lit a cigarette and said, “Behave yourself and stay with me for a month. I’ll sign the contract and transfer 30 million dollars to you. You’re a smart woman, Roxanne. I trust that you’ll know what to do.”
Roxanne was shaking with rage.
The thing that infuriated favonovel.com the most and made favonovel.com feel hopeless was when favonovel.com vice-chairman, who had come with her, said with a contrived smile, “Ms. Harrison, my advice to you is to abide by Mr. Coleman’s wishes. That way, you can save our company.”
