Chapter 47 What Are You Doing Here


    Nathan gave her a small smile as he replied, "As you wish, dear."


    Penny blushed as a warm feeling rose within her.


    Although Nathan was impulsive and easy to anger, he was still quite willing to listen to her.


    Turning to the kneeling men, Nathan spoke in a hard tone, "This time, I''ll let you off the hook. There


    better not be a next time, for your sakes."


    Immensely relieved, they instantly babbled their thanks before fleeing the ce with their tails tucked


    between their legs.


    After they left, a troubled look appeared on Penny''s face, as thoughts swirled through her mind. She


    still did not know what to do about the financial problems that Cross Corporation was facing.


    Nathan''s smile wasforting as he spoke gently, "Trust me, things will work out. You shouldn''t worry


    so much about it. Someone wille to invest in us sooner


    orter."


    Rolling her eyes at him, she professed bitterly, "At least one of us is being positive. We''ve offended


    Joseph Myers. A lot ofpanies will not invest in us with respect to him."


    "The request for a loan from the bank was rejected too."

    "Ugh, if we don''t get any funds soon, thepany''s going to be in deep trouble."


    At that moment, the officendline rang and Penny answered the phone. "Hello?"


    The voice of the front desk receptionist sounded from the other side of the phone, "President Smith,


    there''s a Samuel here asking to see you.”


    Initially surprised at her Uncle Samuel''s sudden visit, her face soon fell as she remembered her family


    being exiled from the Smith family. Her voice was cold as she replied, "I don''t want to see him."


    With that said, she prepared to hang up when the receptionist called out urgently, "He wants me to tell


    you that he''s here to invest in thepany. He asks if you''re interested now?"


    Uncle''s here to invest?


    Penny found herself in a dilemma. From an emotional standpoint, she had no positive feelings left for


    the Smith family. In fact, it was probably more urate to say that she had resented them.


    But as the leader of apany, she could not allow her personal feelings to get in the way of the


    Hesitating for a moment, she finally relented, "Fine, bring them up to my office!"


    A short whileter, the receptionist entered with Samuel, Miles, May and several other men.


    Before Samuel came, he had already heard about Penny and Nathan offending Joseph Myers. He had


    known that they were having trouble getting investors and their loan request had been rejected. Not


    only that, he even knew that they had had an altercation with Director Nelson, getting thrown out of the


    bank.


    Hearing all these rumors, he had not bothered finding out the truth behind them. Instead, he had


    already concluded that Penny was most definitely running out of resources right now. This was why he


    hade here to discuss his investment in herpany. He was certain that she would have no


    choice other than to ept all his conditions.


    Dressed in a ck suit, the well-built figure of Samuel strode into Penny''s office, with a group of people


    following along behind him.


    ncing around the office, he finally rested his gaze on Nathan and Penny. There was a slightly


    mocking tone to his voice as heplimented, "Penny, your new office is pretty nice!"


    Penny''s face was hard as she asked icily, "What are you doing here?"


    Pulling out a chair, Samuel plonked


    himself down imperiously while Miles, May and his bodyguards stood behind him with their hands


    sped behind their backs.


    A sly smile curved onto his lips as he answered, "Why, to discuss business with you of course! To my


    knowledge, Cross Corporation is in dire need of funds. You''re looking for some investors, right?”
