Chapter 97: Thorny Rose

The incense stick was almost burned out, but Nancy still stood there silently looking at the deceased's face.
No matter what happened, she never blamed Camila, she understood the heart of a mother for her son. It's just that Dylan didn't know the truth, so he resented her so much.
But she couldn't tell him. Camila was gone and she didn't want him to have negative thoughts about his mother.
The sound of slow footsteps behind her suddenly rang out, startling her. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and turned around to leave.
However, the tall and thin man standing in front of her made her so shocked that she couldn't lift her feet.
“I came to visit your mother's grave. No matter what, she is still the benefactor of my mother and I.” She said softly.
“Nancy, answer me. Why did you leave me at that time?”
“I remember I said it very clearly.”
“I don't believe it. You and I grew up together, that feeling cannot be fake.”
“Because if you have nothing left, I will leave, even if we are married. Dylan, I agree to love you because I rely on your family financially. The Southern Company is on the brink of bankruptcy, so I have to leave a little early.”
“So why do I have everything now but you still want to be away from me?”
“Because there is only hatred between us. You said you hate me so much, right?”
“Yes, I used to hate you but I never stopped loving you. Actually, I stopped hating you a long time ago, I…”
“Don't say anymore, I only believe what I accidentally heard.”
Nancy bit her lips to suppress her emotions and walked past him. Having to say these cold words, her heart ached so much.
Although he said he no longer hated her, how could she believe it? He changed his face just to get revenge on her, so how could he forgive her easily?
Dylan took out his phone and called Paul who was in the car, telling him to follow Nancy and report to him.
The assistant received the order and quickly took out his mask and glasses and put them on, staring intently at the target. Finally, he followed her to the restaurant, then called and told his boss the address.
Just entering the restaurant, Nancy encountered Daniel. He waved his hand and told the people next to him to go first, then approached her and asked briefly.
“Meeting customers again?”
“Yes, it's director Kelvin.” Nancy nodded and replied.
“You dare to meet that old pervert? And go alone?”
Nancy pursed her lips and didn't answer. It seemed like this old director was already famous, everyone knew him, and his reputation was everywhere.
“What room number?”
Daniel asked while grabbing his fake cousin's hand and leading her inside. Nancy didn't know what he wanted to do but still told him the room number.
Kelvin was happily waiting when he suddenly saw the president of LE bank and the employee of Lucky company holding hands and walking in.
After a few greetings, Daniel introduced himself as Nancy's cousin and told Kelvin to do his best to help her.
He said that because his cousin wanted to be independent, she did not use her connections to pressure others and that he had just mentioned this relationship because he had met Kelvin by chance today.
The old director nodded continuously. After all, his company was borrowing money from LE Bank, and he had heard that this bank was about to build many branches, so he hoped to receive the project from Daniel because the bank's approved budget was quite high, and the profit was much higher than other places.
After Daniel had drunk three glasses of wine, the group of people accompanying him called to urge him to go to the karaoke bar, so he asked permission to stand up first. Nancy also left her seat and saw him off for a while.
“I've been drinking since noon until now. Don't worry, he won't dare to touch you. Try to have a capacity profile to receive projects at LE Bank. Your company's profile is still weak so I can't give you the project because there are still a few shareholders.” Daniel kindly advised.
“I know, you have been helping Lucky company a lot. Thank you very much.”
“Cousin, I'm a big fan of Song. Can you arrange for me to meet my idol?”
“Yes, please wait, I promise I will try to convince her.”
“That's great, it seems like meeting an idol is easier than meeting a lover.”
After saying that, he patted her shoulder and walked quickly.
Nancy felt a little sting in her nose. She felt sorry for him, but she had already promised Donna so she couldn't go back on her word and tell him where Donna worked.
When Nancy returned to the room, Kelvin had disappeared. After finishing a bowl of soup, she saw him come back. He looked at her and smiled wryly.
“Miss Nancy, the big boss is in the next room. He knew I was with you so he wanted you to come over and say hello.”
“Okay, I'll go with you.”
Nancy happily followed Kelvin. In her heart, she only thought that it was someone who had met her at the wine table.
When the door opened, she was dumbstruck when she saw Dylan sitting right in front of her, on both sides of him were two long-legged, hot girls leaning on and caressing him.
Before she could run away, Kelvin pulled her and pushed her down to sit next to Dylan. She and he were separated by a girl.
The wine was quickly poured, and Kelvin hurriedly urged Nancy to raise her glass to invite the chairman of Global Group.
She didn't know if this could be called fate. Why did she and he meet from the cemetery to here? She gritted her teeth and raised her glass of wine.
“Chairman, I invite you to have a glass of wine.”
“What's your name? Where do you work?”
Hearing Dylan's question, Nancy remained silent and did not answer. Her eyes opened wide and stared at him.
Kelvin hurriedly urged again.
Her lips pressed tightly together. She knew that if she didn't say anything, he would ask someone else and he would know.
“Nancy Pelosi, Lucky Company.”
“Drink the whole glass, I don't want to drink it halfway.” Dylan gently touched his glass to the one in her hand.
“Yes.”
As soon as Kelvin saw the two of them finishing their drinks, he pretended to go to the bathroom and ran straight into the car.
Today, he didn't know which foot he took first, but his heart was dropping to his navel. At first, he was intimidated by the president of LE bank, and then the president of the Global group threatened him.
Looks like this girl is the boss's carry-on.
Not long after Kelvin left, the two girls stood up and left. The spacious room now had only Nancy and Dylan left.
“Pour me a drink.” Dylan said as if giving an order.
To be honest, Nancy wanted to rush out but then she couldn't do it. The projects that Lucky Company signed directly with Global Group were still unfinished and if he made things difficult, she and her friend would have no choice but to die.
Just like that, she poured, he drank, and soon the bottle was empty.
Dylan was so angry that his face turned pale when he saw the girl bowing her head and enduring beside him. He was no stranger to sales staff looking for projects. Those directors never give for free without receiving something in return.
“You're looking for a project and you're just sitting there like a statue? What do you have to do to make them give you the job? I'm also a big investor.”
Nancy felt bitter in her heart when she heard Dylan speak. It turned out that he considered her the type of person who sold her body for a job. Just a moment ago, he had said he loved her, but now he had become a stranger.
The anger in her heart also flared up with his words, she thought to herself that if he said so, she would make him see.
She opened another bottle of wine, filled two glasses, then sat close to him, put her arms around his shoulders, smiled, and swayed.
“Chairman, I invite you to drink another glass of wine with me.”
“Is that all?” He asked while tilting his head back to drink it all.
Her slender hand left his shoulder, moved down to his neck, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt. When her hand touched his waist, she stopped.
“What's up? Why don't you continue to let me broaden my horizons?”
Nancy's whole body trembled. She tried to calm herself and continued to stretch her hand out. When her fingers touched the belt, Dylan suddenly grabbed her, angrily pushed her onto the sofa, then pounced on her, held her tight, and shouted.
“You do things like this because you want a project?”
“Yes. You understand, right?”
“Okay. Instead of pampering those old men, why don't you pamper me and please me, I'll give you more than that.”
After finishing speaking, Dylan leaned down and tried to kiss Nancy on the lips. She quickly tilted her head, causing the kiss to fall on her white neck.
“I want a contract to supply electrical equipment for the Indochina project.”
Dylan looked up at her blankly. The moment she avoided him, he was so happy, but in the end, she still used her body as a bargaining chip.
Seeing his appearance, she took the opportunity to attack him further.
“What's up? Because you once slept with me, do you think I'm too expensive? It seems you're more calculating than those guys.”
