Chapter 72


    Bruce''s answer confirmed my guesses


    Although I saw how much he adored Cindy, I still lost it when I heard his answer.


    He was asking me to leave just because Cindy felt a bit uneasy. He wasn''t making sense!


    Usually, I would have respected him as my investor. But today was different.


    After all, Dous had spent a lot of effort to obtain a spot for me to attend the party. So, it wouldn''t be right for me to leave now.


    After calming myself down, I replied, "I''m sorry, Mr. Harold. I can''t do that.”


    Bruce furrowed his eyebrows deeply upon hearing this, and his tone was very unfriendly as he said, "You know that I''m not here to negotiate with


    you.”


    It seemed that he was determined for me to leave.


    But I curled my fingers and honestly answered, "If I was attending on behalf of mypany. I wouldn''t mind fulfilling your request. However, I''m


    attending as Mr. Irvin''s partner. And I''m sure you understand what that means.”All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Bruce was still our investor, so I couldn''t go too far.


    Bruce sneered. "Are you trying to use Dous against me? Am I being too nice to you that you''ve even forgotten who you are?"


    I found myself speechless against how dominant Bruce was being. I never thought of causing a conflict between Bruce and Dous.


    "What do you want? Do you want me to invest more?" Bruce added after observing my silence. He probably thought I was provoking him to get more


    benefits from him


    "No need. I won''t leave." I curtly rejected


    Bruce stared at me and snorted. "Are you sure? Is this party that important to you? Are you that desperate to butter Dous up?"


    Bruce''s words and his sneer caused me to feel like I was being shamed.


    Meanwhile, he was being so arrogant because I caused Cindy to feel a bit ufortable.


    Upon thinking of this. I forced myself to smile. "The party is about to start. Please excuse me."


    With that, I turned around.


    However, ithe next second, Bruce''s


    voice rang out again, "Are you sure


    you can take the responsibilityon


    behalf of yourpany?” Content

    I immediately stopped in my tracks, and my feet felt heavy, as if they were filled with lead.


    I sensed a threat from Bruce''s voice.


    However, I already made up my mind.


    So, without even turing back, I replied, “Please suit yourself."


    After all, having a high tolerance toward him didn''t mean that I didn''t have principles.


    When I returned to the hall, Dous was searching for me.


    “You look kind of pale. What happened?" he asked.


    I rubbed my throbbing temples and simply found an excuse, saying, "Perhaps it''s because I drank too much."


    "I already told you to just take a few sips of the drinks they offer you. If worstes to worst, you still have me, right?”


    Dous was a good friend, and I didn''t regret turning Bruce down just based on this fact alone.


    Sensing my silence, Bruce continued, "Plus, did you see the seating arrangement of the party?"


    I hadn''t noticed that yet.


    Dous tetiched his nose after


    seeing my confusion. Then, he _~


    exined, "We''ll be seated at the


    main table along with Stack. Will you


    be.> “okay with that?" Content

    Dous always considered everything carefully.


    And since he brought up Bruce, it meant that Cindy would also be at the same table.


    Perhaps he was scared that I would feel awkward.


    Nevertheless, I pretended to be calm and said, "It''s not a problem. Don''t forget that I''m here tonight to meet my idol.”


    As the party started, the guests


    gradually took their seats. And just


    like Dous said, we were arranged


    to.sit at the main table. Content
