Chapter 330 Not So Bad
Landin slowly walked forward while chatting with the woman beside him.
He heard the call from behind and stopped.
Before Landin turned around, a woman had walked past him and blocked his way.
The woman wore a long beige padded coat. She had good shape, so she still looked slender in this coat.
There was a thick caramel scarf around her neck, so her face looked small and delicate.
She had walked fast, so the wind ruffled her hair a bit. With ruddy cheeks, she gasped slightly.
When Landin saw this face, his heart pounded violently.
This feeling was like a burning fireball suddenly falling onto a frozen lake.
Anaya gasped for quite a while to adjust her breathing.
Then, she took out a bank card from her bag, showed it to Landin, and said calmly "Mr. Giles, is this your bank
card?"
Hearing this, the bewitched Landin looked at the bank card in Anaya's hand and then said, "Yes, it was mine."
Anaya said, "Mr. Giles, I led the way for you. The money you gave..."
"Too little?" Landin asked.
Anaya was speechless.
No doubt, this man is a rich fool. Anaya thought.
"Too much, and I don't need your money."
"You helped me."
"Did you do the same to others?"
Landin fell silent.
He seldom gave so much money to show his gratitude.
Usually, Landin gave several thousand dollars to his helpers. In other words, what he had done yesterday was an
exception.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe seriously thought about the reason.
I did so perhaps because this woman is beautiful and is my cup of tea. Landin thought.
Landin pondered for a moment and chose to lie, "Yes."
Anaya was shocked.
Given such a prodigal brother, it is a wonder that Layla still has money to buy clothes. Anaya thought.
"Don't do this again, or the kidnappers will love to take you to their base."
The rich men who were stupid and had bank cards with them were the favorites of the kidnappers.
Landin wanted to say that few people in this city dared to mess with him. This sounds like a boast, Landin thought,
so he said, "Thank you for your advice."
"Here is your card."
"You may keep it."
"Mr. Giles, I led the way yesterday, and you said thank you. I got the pay for my kindness then, so I can't take your
money."
The woman beside Landin snorted.
That single syllable seemed to come out of the gaps between her teeth.
"Miss, Mr. Giles told you to keep the card, but you still pester him. Do you consider yourself that lovely Cinderella
who met a prince? Do you want to win his favor by holding yourself aloof?"
The woman wore a dark blue suit with a long black trench coat on the outside.
She didn't button the trench coat, and the white shirt below her suit had a plunging neckline, revealing two fair and
tender semicircles.
She had dark brown curly hair and wore heavy makeup.
She was pretty, but her words were a bit unpleasant.
Anaya calmly shifted her gaze to this stranger, smiled, and said, "I
was called Cinderella for the first time."
The woman didn't bother to hide the contempt on her face. "Well, do you think that you're a princess?"
Anaya beamed. "I don't have the nerve. I'm just a mediocre president of a company with a monthly profit of over
1.6 billion dollars. How can I imagine myself as a princess?
"Since you look down on me, you must be superbly rich with an annual income of nearly 16 billion dollars, right?"
The woman instantly blushed with embarrassment. "Anyone can brag! My company has a monthly profit of 3.2
billion dollars, much more than yours!"
Anaya wanted to refute, but Landin said, "Ms. Hacker, you just told me that your company's monthly profit was 10
million dollars. "Given what you said, do you want to get my investment with fake data?"
Anaya, who simpered, burst into laughter.
How could this man be so candid? Anaya thought.
Emery Hacker, who had a blushing face, now turned red in her eyes.
"Mr. Giles, how could you help this woman?"
Landin calmly stated, "I'm discussing business with you."
Emery didn't accept this explanation. "You did help her to insult me! Since you don't want to invest in my company,
I don't think it
necessary for us to meet again!"
Then, Emery turned around and left.
Emery took a few strides forward and then slowed down.
Obviously, she was waiting for Landin to stop her departure. However, Landin didn't give Emery a damn.
The Hacker family wanted investment from Landin. Landin agreed to have a business negotiation with Emery
because his father and
the head of the Hacker family were old acquaintances.
Landin never put on airs. Perhaps because Landin was too easygoing, Emery became presumptuous after several
meetings.
Landin didn't want to work with Emery, given her attitude. Now,
Emery left, so Landin didn't stop her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnaya looked back at Emery and saw through her trick.
"Mr. Giles, you hurt her feelings. Aren't you going to get her back?"
Landin said indifferently, "No. I asked a question about work, and she threw a tantrum. It will be troublesome to
work with emotional people."
Anaya raised her eyebrows.
This man always has his reasons. I wonder if he is serious. Anaya thought.
Anaya didn't want to look into this problem because Landin was still a stranger to her. Anaya stuffed the bank card
into Landin's pocket. "Take your card. Next time you get lost, don't give your helper so much money. I am afraid
that you will become a pauper in the end."
Since Anaya insisted, Landin had to yield.
After a moment of silence, Landin asked, "Is my personality unpopular among women?"
Anaya thought that Landin regretted what he had done to Emery, so she said, "Not so bad. Ms. Hacker made a
fuss first, so it is reasonable that you taught her a lesson with a lie.
"Your appearance and family background are quite good, so I think that many girls will like you."
Landin wanted to ask Anaya about her impression of him. However, he swallowed his question after a second
thought.
This question seemed abrupt since this was only their second meeting.
Anaya achieved her goal. She chatted with Landin for a while and wanted to leave.
Landin stopped Anaya by saying, "Miss, you don't want my money, so may I treat you to dinner later? To express
my gratitude for your kindness."
"No, thanks. As I said, you thanked me yesterday. You don't owe me anything." Anaya waved at Landin. "I have to
go. Goodbye."
After that, Anaya left without looking back.
Landin hesitated about whether he should chase after Anaya and invite her again. Anaya got in a taxi and
disappeared.
Landin stood on the spot for a few minutes and then returned to his company.
