    Daniel didn’t respond immediately but instead turned to Jessica. “Jessica, can I agree to this beautifuldy’s condition?”


    “You decide for yourself! I’m not interested in managing you! But let me remind you, you’re still my assistant. If you dare work part–time for someone else, I’ll break your legs!” Jessica was angry, and her words served as a final warning to Daniel, also setting her boundaries.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    That is, Daniel could borrow a billion from Isabe, but he can’t lose. Jessica knew


    Daniel wasn’t stupid; if he wasn’t sure he could win, he wouldn’t borrow such an

    Seeing Daniel always consulting Jessica for decisions piqued Isabe’s jealousy, like


    her man was being wooed away by another woman.


    “Jessica is not stopping you now, you have to decide. Now, make up your mind! Do


    you want to borrow this billion or not? If not, you’ll have to concede defeat to Andrew.


    “I, of course, want to borrow the billion! I won’t lose! But if I help you win ten billion,


    beautiful, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?” Daniel half–jokingly suggested.


    “Don’t you dare!” Jessica was quick to counter.


    “Can’t I even ask another woman to treat me to a meal?” Daniel asked.


    “No!”

    “Because you are my assistant. You’re working 24/7<i>. </i>If you dare go out to eat with


    another woman, that’s absenteeism!”


    Isabe was amused by Jessica’s anxious behavior. “Daniel, it seems Jessica is very demanding of you. I wonder if Jessica would stop you from dining with a man?

    business. What has it got to do with you?”


    “If it’s just as an assistant, then no, it has nothing to do with me. But it sounds like Daniel is more than just an assistant to you, isn’t it? I’ve never seen a boss with so many demands on an assistant; it’s almost like he’s your husband!”


    “He’s my employee, and he epts my demands, so we don’t need yourments on our rtionship!”


    Seeing Jessica getting visibly upset, Isabe decided not to tease her any further. She turned to Andrew. “Andrew, are you sure you want to make this bet with Daniel?”


    Caught off guard by her sudden question, Andrew hesitated before asking back. Beautiful, are you really capable ofing up with a billion? And you’re willing to lend it to a penniless country boy?”

    “Whether I have the money, I believe the facts speak for themselves! If we are going through with this bet, Andrew, I think we should establish clear rules first. Before we start, both you and he will need to deposit a billion into a joint ount provided by the host. In the end, whoever wins gets to take all twenty billion in that ount!”


    Isabe was an extremely intelligent woman. She anticipated that Andrew might renege on his word if he lost. Therefore, she came up with the idea of a joint ount as a precaution.


    Once the billions were in the joint ount, even if Andrew wanted to back out, he wouldn’t be able to.
