Albert shook his head and replied, “The construction of this three-lane highway is not a part of the project for Lord Campbell Avenue. This is your private project, so we require a separate compensation.”
“Aren't you worried about delaying the construction of Lord Campbell Avenue and angering him?” threatened Jennifer.
The truth was that she wasn't confident in her threat at all.
Albert laughed. “That is the one thing I don't need to worry about. Your mission was to construct the project at Lord Campbell Avenue, but you personally wanted to build this three-lane highway. This isn't a part of Lord Campbell's project, so why would I care? Besides, you invested so many resources into building this separate three-lane highway that has nothing to do with him. Shouldn't you be the one who should be worried about his wrath?”
Jennifer was so angry that she was trembling.
Albert's eyes glowed with lust as he scanned Jennifer from head to toe.
Even he couldn't deny that Jennifer was truly gorgeous. She is so much better than those so-called models who depend heavily on their make-up to look beautiful.
Albert paused for a moment before he continued making his demands. “Okay, I don't want to waste any more time here. Transfer the money to my bank account right now, or else...”
Jennifer replied, “I will never comply! Let's go, guys.”
She turned around to leave.
Thump!
A shoe flew toward her and hit her right on the back of her head, causing her to stumble and almost fall.
Furious, Jennifer turned around and saw Andrew removing his other shoe. His eyes shone with menace when he looked at her, and with his cap on, he looked like a gangster. The overall aura he exuded would make anyone uncomfortable.
“That is too much!” roared Jennifer angrily.
Kevin threatened, “What the hell was that? You realize we can call the cops on you, right?” “Go ahead. I'll admit defeat if you can get them to respond in any way,” replied Albert arrogantly as he lit up a cigarette.
Jennifer was going to leave right away when the secretary she had recently hired suddenly called her. “Ms. Wilson, something terrible has happened! Over a hundred people have gathered at our office, and they even brought funeral wreaths.”
“I will head over right now,” replied Jennifer before she turned to Kevin. “Give me your car keys.”
Kevin was taken aback. He seemed reluctant to hand his car over.
“Jennifer, maybe you could hail a cab
instead?”
Skylar said, “He’s right. It might be for the best since he has to drop me off at home later.”
