Just as Maria had expected, he didn't let her go till quite late.
Before passing out, she said in a daze, "Are you done?"
He was amused by her question and chuckled, "There are some things that don't need to be done in one night. We have plenty of time and we can do it every night." He wouldn't have let her go so easily if she wasn't this tired already.
Because she was too sleepy, Maria felt like her mind was dull and slow. She wasn't even sure whether he was joking or not.
The second morning, when Maria opened her eyes, James had already washed up and was wearing a tie in front of the mirror. She was still angry at the thought that he tortured her like that last night.
With a cold face, Maria turned over and snapped at him, "Thank you, Mr. Xi. I was very satisfied with you last night. I would like to pay you for your excellent service. You worked so hard last night. Is one hundred thousand enough?"
James had done his tie, he didn't even raise his eyebrows at her rude question. Instead, he simply took out his phone and dialed a number. "Summer, let President Yu preside over the morning meeting today. I'll be there later."
Hearing this, Maria sat up quickly and tried to rush out of the bedroom.
She moved very fast, but he moved even faster than her. Before she could touch the doorknob, a long arm appeared on her waist. "Ah!" she screamed out of fear.
The man's heavy breath fell on her ear, "One hundred thousand, I'm very satisfied with the offer. Ms. Song, pay me two hundred thousand and I will do it to you again."
"James, what do you think of yourself?" Maria said in a trembling voice.
"Whatever you say." He took two steps forward, and Maria was sandwiched between the man and the door.
Intimidated by his overwhelming presence, she pulled a bitter smile, "I have no money now." Even if she did have money, she didn't dare to give him any.
"Well, good for you, I have money. I'm not as mean as you. Let's do it again. Plus what happened last night, I can pay you fifty million. What do you say?"
Her face instantly went feverish. Should she agree reluctantly for the sake of this huge sum of money? However, she felt pain all over her body. She almost died when she ran over from the bed just now. "Okay, okay, but," The rest of her words were sealed by a hot kiss. She curled up her ten fingers on the back of the door and gazed at him, "Let's do it again. But I will pay up later."
"What do you think?"
He chuckled but didn't give her the chance to answer the question. Maria's mind was a mush now. She thought his idea was simply amazing.
However, it was a pity that he only showed her the correct answer with his actions.
In the end, Maria had to beg for mercy with a pitiful look on her face and promised to pay him back in double some other day that he finally reluctantly let her go.
Maria liked to bear grudges, so he took it as a prank on her by James and kept it in mind.
Even after she finally received fifty million from him, her heart only softened for one second. She still thought him as one cruel and evil bully. She complained in her heart and secretly took the huge sum of money as her own.
The next a couple of days, she had been deliberately hiding from him and always found various excuses not to see him.
The two of them had been in a stalemate for a few days till James finally lost his patience.
She behaved like a swindler of money and lust, disappearing as soon as she got the money from him.
If she thought that she could hide from him, then she must be in her dreams!
At noon, Maria was about to have lunch in the company's restaurant. When she stepped out of the door of her office, she received a call from Summer. She casually answered the phone with a smile, "Hey, Summer."
However, before the person on the other end of the line could speak, a baby's cry came from the phone first.
Maria felt the noise was very familiar.
After about ten seconds, Summer's panicked voice sounded in the phone, "Oh, Maria, Bob is here in the company. He was fine just now, but now he is crying for no reason. What should we do?"
