Come Back to Me

Chapter 35 Asking For Money (Part One)

The more Charlie spoke, the more disgusted Tracy was.

She really didn't know how this kind of man could be qualified for the position of the president of XS group.

With her eyes fixed on Charlie's face, Tracy scornfully stared at his with a disgusted expression. But the disgust in her eyes was evident. And she looked more and more serious.

She thought that she was a person with a casual personality.

But under the specific occasion, she was still a child who knew nothing about the adult's world.

Charlie's eyes gleamed when he stared at Tracy's serious face.

He stretched out his long arms and closed the door of the office. Startled, Tracy turned to look at him.

That face was laughing without scruple at the moment, as if he had made a lucky escape.

Charlie smiled.

Sensing the sharp gaze from the old lady, Tracy was uneasy. She clenched her fists and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Xu, you will be the one to host that day's wine competition, won't you?"

Her seriousness was obvious in her eyes, but Charlie was so wayward.

Charlie didn't reply, but stared at Tracy with an evil smile, which made her face long.

She angrily rebuked, "the president of the Xu group is just a liar."

She stared at the man with burning, reproachful eyes.

Now she realized that she had gone too far that day.

"So you're the prizewinner that day? "

Seeing that Tracy's face gradually took on a ghastly expression, Charlie became more serious.

He didn't answer her question directly.

A dash of surprise flashed through his eyes.

He was not at home on the day of the wine competition and he was busy with work of the branch overseas day and night.

He had never heard of any result of the event from anyone else.

Because, it was just an easy thing for him to do for his stepmother.

He was not interested at all.

Thinking of this, Charlie looked at the innocent girl with a funny smile.

The disdain and teasing in his eyes were deepened.

Destiney is really a wonderful thing.

"You are the organizer. How come you don't know who the winner is that day?"

Indignant, Tracy shouted at him, interrupting his thoughts.

But when she saw the evil expression in Charlie's eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

"I wasn't there that day. If I had known..."

Charlie smiled, shyly bending over her body. Her lips almost touched Tracy's face.

After a short pause, she clenched her fist——

"You'd better be a grace girl."

Soon enough, Tracy wrist was grasped tightly by the big hand of Charlie.

She furiously glared at him, wriggling her arms.

"Haha..."

The mockery in Charlie's eyes got deeper.

"If I had known that a beauty was tasting wine on the spot and won the first prize, I would have returned from Italy without a single moment."

Tracy blushed and exerted all her strength to struggle from his grip.

"Let me go -"

She was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

With a gentle smile, Charlie let go of her, gracefully turned around and casually sat on the sofa next to her.

He was as handsome as a sculpture.

However, Tracy was disgusted with his handsome appearance.

Such an arrogant man was so eye-catching in the crowds, She wouldn't glance at him.

Tracy looked at Charlie indignantly and then to her great surprise——

"Sit down, please --"

As Charlie reached out his hands, he looked like a gentleman.

After a few seconds, Tracy was angrier by his hypocritical act.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. I don't want to take the seat. I just hope that you can talk about something serious."

She gave him a scornful look.

"You are here to get the money?"

Raising his eyebrows, Charlie suddenly remembered that he overheard what Tracy said the moment he stepped into the office. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Well..."

Tracy was stunned.

"I'm sorry. I know it's a little rash for me to come here. But I had something urgent to do that day, so I left after winning the championship. I don't know how to contact you..."

She added.

The reason why she left the wine party that day was because of Brody. He took her away from the spot.

Then Ray disappeared.

She was mentally and physically exhausted because of the disappearance of Ray. She didn't want to have any unethical money.

However, the scornful and sarcastic expression on Brody's face provoked her indomitable spirit deeply in her heart.

So

She didn't think too much and came directly.

It seemed that she had seen through Tracy's mind, so Charlie said jokingly, "little beauty, you're really reckless."

Tracy glared at him with burning, reproachful eyes.

Charlie had already changed and sat upright.

She was like a king.

"You are not that greedy for money."

Charlie stretched out her fingers and shook them back and forth, making a gesture of "no".

His tone was clear with obvious sarcasm and his suspicion of the motivation of Tracy's coming here.

After a short pause, Tracy recollected what she had said.

"No, you are wrong. A man with desire will be greedy for money, and I am no exception. Since the XS Group has shown up, the old lady behind you must be not simple, and she really had a lot of money left in her" lifetimes ". Why would I refuse to do so?"

"You won't get nothing free, but the money you get is the labor."

Charlie corrected her seriously.

"Never mind."

Replied Tracy.

She fixed her eyes on the serious expression on the Charlie's face. She thought, 'this man looks like a real negotiator.

She couldn't help cursing him in her mind.

Hypocrite!

Charlie changed much faster than changeable Brody.

Charlie suddenly stood up and stared at her, as if deep in thought.

Then they circled her.

His contemptuous and arrogant attitude made Tracy feel more dissatisfied.

But in order to go back and stop talking to Brody, she had to be patient.

She must get that money.

After she got the money, she would show to Brody.

"If you really want money, just tell me honestly. Is it for money or something else?"

With a careless look on his face, Charlie stopped walking in front of her and looked at her worriedly.

"Mr. Xu, of course I'm doing this for the money. Use your words, I traded the money for my labor."

She said firmly.

"Do you know how much property she has?"

The corners of Charlie's mouth twitched.

"So, I have to see the old lady."

Said Tracy, taking the opportunity.

"Why do you think you can get the money?"

Tracy was furious. She glared at Charlie who looked serious. In fact, she didn't want to talk about it with him seriously at all.

"Based on the reputation of your XS group."

Tracy retorted coldly with an aggressive tone.

In a moment of astonishment, Tracy continued to say coldly, "of course, if you want to be a person who fails to keep your promise and destroy the Xu group, I can't say anything about it. After all, I don't have the right to prevent it, right?"

After Tracy indignantly finished her words, she managed to notice the stiffness of Charlie's face.

Judging from his voice, she could tell that he was not at home that day.

But the competition that day was fairly grand and brave.

It was well known that the head would win all the property of the old woman.

On that day, the man in charge made a guarantee with the reputation of XS group.

It would definitely be the headline of the news if Charlie spoke ill of her.

Once the XS group's reputation was ruined, the clients would order less.

Lots of people had been staring at Charlie's financial groups in the past, and naturally the other two large financial groups had to lose no time to placed obstacles in his way.
