Chapter 102
In the evening, Roxanne came home and told Harrison about what went down at the Pearl Building.
They chatted while having dinner.
Harrison seemed indifferent, feigning ignorance about the whole thing. "Seriously?"
Roxanne was chowing down as she spoke.
"Harrison, don't you find it odd?"
"The security guard was shooing us away, looking down on us, and mocking us. And then, the
manager was suddenly all nice and sweet. have no clue what they're up to."
In front of Harrison, Roxanne never pretended to be ladylike, always eating in big bites. And she was
really hungry.
Harrison looked at her with a mouth full of food, cheeks puffed, chatting with him while chewing. She
seemed like a greedy little guinea pig.
She was real, unlike those socialite women who put on airs in front of him. Harrison loved watching her
eat, "So, did you finally get your money back?"
Roxanne finished one plate of food, grabbed another, and continued, "Speaking of which, that part was
even more infuriating."
"What happened?" Harrison took a bite, "Tell me, maybe I can help."
Roxanne waved him off, indicating she didn't need help. "Such a jerk, he needs to be dealt with strictly,
but I still need to keep up the niceties until I get my money back."
She told Harrison about all of Finn's debt dodging schemes over the years. In this society, the debtors
were the big shots while the creditors had to act humble.
Then Roxanne's phone that was placed on the table rang. The caller ID showed it was Finn. What a
coincidence.
Roxanne was utterly sick of Finn. She frowned and put him on speakerphone in front of Harrison.
"Finn!"
"Roxanne, are you free tomorrow?"
What new trick was he up to now? Roxanne's frown deepened.
"I was thinking of playing golf tomorrow. Can you come with me?"
"Finn..."
"Don't reject me just yet. Think it over. If you accompany me and I get in a good mood, I might pay you
back."
Oh god! Pay her back? He was clearly messing with her.
Roxanne had been harassed by this ugly Finn before, but she never let him get his way.
Not only did Finn owe Roxanne money, he also wanted her. Her long legs were all he could think
about. The more he couldn't have her, the more he yearned for her.
Of course, Roxanne was well aware of his intentions. She was nauseated. But she had to keep up
appearances with Finn until she got her money back.
She had already figured out how to deal with Finn during the day. She just hadn't seen him yet.
Suppressing her disgust, she replied, "Alright, Finn, but I don't know how to play golf. I can only help
you pick up balls."
"That's okay," Finn laughed, "I can teach you." This way, he could take advantage of the situation while
teaching her. Finn had it all planned out.
Roxanne set a time and place with Finn, "Finn, it's a date then."
"Great!" Finn's voice was full of sickening anticipation.
After hanging up, Roxanne felt extremely uncomfortable.
Harrison looked serious. "Finn doesn't just want you to play golf; he clearly wants to take advantage of
you. No, I'm going with you tomorrow."
"You need to work. Stop taking leaves because of me. Didn't you say your company is about to
promote you? Don't ruin that because of me."
"I can't stand the thought of you meeting that old man alone."
"Don't worry, Chloe will be with me and I've got a plan to deal with him. I'll make him pay back the
money tomorrow."
Harrison wanted to say something, but Roxanne immediately cut him off: "Alright, I know you're worried
about me getting hurt. But I'm not a fool, I won't let anyone take advantage of me."
"Any man who tries to take advantage of me, I'll give him a good beating."
Harrison asked, "If you fight with him, can you still get your money back?"
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out tomorrow."
While they were chatting, the lights in the restaurant started to flicker. Then, all the lights went out.
"What happened to the lights?" Roxanne looked up at the ceiling light.
Harrison frowned. The renovation of Roxanne's new house at East Adjacent Estates was personally
entrusted to Alexander. She had only been living there for a few days and the lights were already
malfunctioning. What kind of work did Alexander do?
Roxanne asked him, "Harrison, can you fix it?"
Harrison didn't respond. He actually didn't know how. If he couldn't fix it, wouldn't Roxanne look down
on him? Things like this, he would always delegate to the butler. He never got involved. If he said he
couldn't, would Roxanne think he was useless?
Roxanne cleared the table, and patted the surface, "If you know how, get up here and see what's
wrong."
Harrison frowned, "I can't."
"Well, never mind then. I'll do it." Roxanne took off her shoes, and climbed onto the table, "You go fetch
me a flashlight from the drawer."
Harrison quickly fetched it, and helping her light the way. After inspecting it, she came down from the
table."Just needs a new bulb."
They didn't have any spare bulbs at home, so Roxanne went out on her e-bike to buy some.
Back at the house, Harrison called Alexander, "What kind of renovation job did you do with Roxanne's
new house? She's only been living there a few days and the lights have already broken."
Alexander didn't really want to take Harrison's call. He was having a candlelit dinner with Hazel, getting
ready to take their relationship to the next level. Hazel was clinging tightly to him, her cheeks flushed.
Alexander was already impatient, and hearing it was about the lights, he was even more annoyed, "If
the light's broken, fix it yourself."
Harrison retorted, "If I could fix it, why would I call you?"
Alexander responded, "I can't fix it either. You should call an electrician."
With that, Alexander hung up.
Hazel couldn't wait to plant one on Alexander, saying, "Darling, let's keep it going."
Just then, Harrison's call came in again.
To avoid further interruptions, Alexander picked up the phone and said irritably, "Harrison, spit it out all C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
at once, will you? Stop chopping in on me like this, it's a real buzzkill."
"Are you with Hazel?"
"Of course. Who else would I be with after work if not my wife? Just lay it on me, and stop ringing me
up."
"So you guys are in bed this early?"
"Who said you can only get frisky in bed?"
They were actually on the table.
"Harrison, if you've got something to say, say it. Otherwise, hang up and stop blowing up my phone."
"Well, then I've got nothing."
Harrison hung up.
Hazel just couldn't go a day without Alexander. Every time they got on the phone, they were disturbed
by her. It seemed like he needed to remind Alexander to cool it a bit when they met tomorrow.
How could a man with big fish to fry be head over heels for a woman all day, every day?
