She emphasized the word ‘anything’.
Her body leaned forward when she said this, revealing a huge portion of her fair chest.
She was very beautiful and had a great body. She had a pair of foxy eyes and a slutty charm about her.
Any man would want to take her to bed the moment they set eyes on her.
However, all I felt for her seductive offer was disgust after witnessing her quick change in attitude.
I pushed her away and walked toward Yvette. “Miss Sullivan, let’s go ahead and get that contract signed.”
“Oh, yes. Alright!”
Yvette was taken aback for a few seconds before resuming her usual self.
It was clear that she was astounded by me being able to come up with so much money.
However, she had treated me the same, and there was no major change in attitude from her.
“Please take a seat, Mister. I’ll explain the contract in detail to you…”
“There’s no need to. Let’s just get it signed straight away,” I said nonchalantly.
“Alright. You may just sign here, and the contract will go into effect.”
She pointed at all the spots that required a signature and passed a pen to me.
I did not take the pen from her. I instead smiled and said, “You can sign this contract on my behalf.”
“Sign for you?” Yvette did not understand what was going on and looked puzzled.
“You’re right here, Mister. Why do you need me to sign on your behalf? Our company’s rules forbid us to sign on behalf of our clients.”
“That should be easy to solve. Just put your name on the contract, and there shouldn’t be a problem,” I said deliberately.
“Put my name down? That’s even more impossible. This is your villa. How could I sign my name for it?”
“Silly you. Why aren’t you getting it already? I’m giving you the villa!” I said calmly.
“Giving it to me?” Yvette was shocked and her jaw dropped.
“Mister, you aren’t kidding me, are you?”
“Do I look like I’m kidding? Just sign it, and this villa will belong to you from now on.”
“What… But…!” Yvette’s mind was in a whirl. She had no idea what was going on.
Macy got anxious just watching Yvette’s reaction. “He’s already telling you to sign, so just go ahead and sign it. What’s there to stammer about?”
It was obvious that Macy would not have hesitated if she was in Yvette’s position.
“I can’t do it. Why would you give me a villa for no good reason?” Yvette looked at me questioningly.
“Mister, are you planning to make me your lover too?”
“Urm, nope.” I shook my head with a bitter smile. I did not expect her to misunderstand me.
“Why would you give me a villa, then? I can’t accept it without merit or reason.” Yvette was adamant about this and was determined to get to the bottom of it.
I knew I had to explain when I saw her acting this way. Thus, I said, “You… You really can’t recognize me, can you? We met two years ago.”
“We’ve met before?”
Yvette began to look at my face seriously.
However, she still ended up shaking her head. “You look familiar, but I really can’t place you.”
I laughed and said, “You must have helped far too many people. Two years ago on a stormy night, I had a high fever by the side of the road, and you were the one who brought me to the hospital and paid for my hospital bill.”
“Oh, that was you.” Yvette seemed to remember when she heard this.
“The rain that night was really heavy, so I couldn’t really remember what you looked like. If you’d like to thank me, just pay me back for the hospital bill. There’s no need to give me a villa.”
She put the pen down upon learning why.
“No, there is a need to.” I held her hand stubbornly and pushed the pen back into her hands.
“Your kindness is worth this entire villa.”
“Yvette, just accept this rich man’s gifts. Such money is nothing to him,” Macy anxiously tried to convince her.
“But…”
“Stop with the ‘but’s. You can sell it if you don’t want it! It’s worth nine million, and your father needs that money for his treatment,” said Macy.
“That’s right. You can do anything you want with the villa once you have ownership of it,” I added.
“I…”
She could sell the villa and get her father treated.
Yvette was finally convinced.
She hesitated before finally making her decision. “I’ll accept this villa on the condition that I be your lover.”
“Urm… There’s no need for that.”
“Do you find me not pretty enough?” Yvette said without confidence.
“It’s not that. I find you very pretty, prettier than any woman I know.”
“Why aren’t you willing, then?”
“If I agreed, I would be no different than Mr. Campbell.” I shook my head with a bitter smile.
“There is a difference. He was forcing me into it, but you bought his villa because of me. That is why I’m giving myself to you willingly. If you don’t agree to this, I can’t agree to you either. I may be poor, but I understand that I shouldn’t accept anything without working for it.”
“Well…”
I was suddenly reminded of my beautiful teacher, Cherry Quentin, when I saw how determined she was.
Cherry was exactly that way as well.
She was still waiting for me to go f**k her.
I laughed bitterly and agreed with great difficulty. “Alright.”
As long as I did not touch her, she would just be my lover in name.
“Okay.”
Yvette signed her name on the contract happily after I agreed.
Once the contract was signed, she suddenly realized what was required of her to do. She said while blushing, “You can call me any time from now on, or come over to my house.”
She removed a key from her keychain and gave it to me. “This is the key to my house. I’ll send you my address later.”
I smiled in my heart when I saw her shy demeanor.
She was immensely pure and kind, yet was pretending like our arrangement was fine. Why was she insisting on doing this?
Moreover, I guessed that she was still a virgin and had no idea about what happened between a man and a woman in bed.
I stuffed the key into my pocket after taking it from her and secretly made a decision.
I would never go looking for her in the future to save her from the embarrassment.
Once I was done with all the procedures, I got up to leave.
A Porsche parked at the entrance right then, and the owner jumped out of the car before he could even turn off the engine.
“VIP, where’s the VIP?”
Macy immediately went to welcome him when she spotted him. “Mr. Xavier, what are you doing here?”
“Stop with the chit-chat. Where’s the VIP?”
“VIP?”
Macy might have been feeling jealous because she replied indifferently after hearing his words, “Boss, there’s no VIP here. It’s just Yvette purchasing a villa.”
“What the hell do you know? I’ve received a notification that someone just paid nine million with a black credit card. Do you even understand what a black credit card is? Fewer than two people in the entire world own one.”
“Huh… Is it that rare?” Macy finally understood what sort of person she had just offended when she heard this.
She quickly pointed toward the direction I was leaving in. “It was him.”
The general manager came running after me, sweat dripping off his forehead, when he saw me about to leave. He said respectfully, “Please wait a moment, sir.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Can I help you?”
“Sir, I had no idea you would be gracing us with your presence. We’ve been lacking in our welcome for you. My name is Morris Xavier, and I’m the general manager here. You may approach me in the future for anything. I’ll be able to provide you with 24/7 personal service.”
“There’s no need for that,” I smiled.
“I’ve given Yvette the villa. You can just provide your services to her.”
“Yvette?”
Morris was stunned. It was obvious that he had not expected me to give her a house.
It took him quite a while to recover from being taken aback. He laughed and said, “You must have a close relationship with Miss Sullivan. Miss Sullivan has always stood out in her job, and we have been intending to promote her.”
He turned to Yvette and said in a very warm voice, “Yvette, you’re the assistant general manager of this sales center from tomorrow onward.”
“Huh? I’m being promoted just like that?” Yvette widened her eyes with a look of disbelief.
The next thing he said further astounded her.
“By the way, I remember your father has taken ill, am I right? My friend is the hospital director of City Hospital. I’ll make the necessary arrangements with him, and our company will bear the cost of treatment… Also, our company will cover the cost of your renovation for this villa,” said Morris.
“What?!”
Yvette was completely shocked by the general manager’s words.
I stood by the side, quietly watching this all happen.
I knew very well that Morris Xavier was doing all of this to get into my good graces.
I smiled and said, “Your name is Morris Xavier, am I right?”
“That’s right. You can just call me Xavier.”
“Alright. Good work. I’ll be remembering you.”
Morris was ecstatic to hear me say that, much like a kindergarten student getting praised. “It’s only right for me to do this.”
“Alright, I need to get going now. I’ll see you around.”
“Allow me to walk you out.”
I left the hall of the sales center by respectfully being walked out.
…
I began making myself a meal after I returned to my rental home.
Eating alone was pretty boring, so my thoughts immediately drifted to Montana next door.
I went over to knock on her door.
However, even though I knocked for quite a while, she did not open the door.
I was worried something had happened to her, so I pressed my ear against her door.
I heard Montana sobbing inside.
