A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Chapter 98

Rickard knew she said that intentionally. Mrs. Wight helped him once and he had always remembered that. Even if he didn't care about Juniper's life, he would still be concerned about Mrs. Wight. "You're... impossible."

Juniper knew that her plan worked because he no longer ignored her plea. Her eyes were red when she said, "Don't blame me, I didn't have a choice. Hesper was coming after me like a mad woman and put me on the spot even during the interview."

Rickard watched that interview, so he knew who was in the wrong and wouldn't be tricked by her words.

"I'll figure something out for the antidote, but I can't promise. anything."

The man looked tired. When she saw that he was leaving, she tugged at his sleeve with a sad look.

Rickard frowned impatiently. "What?"

"I was so shaken by this and haven't had any food all day. Could you stay and dine with me?"

"No." Rickard immediately rejected her and didn't give her a chance to delay him, then turned and left with Benji.

The director of Drogon Tech was a weird man and hated it when people weren't punctual. It took them a long time to get this. meeting, so if they rescheduled it, they would probably never get another chance. However, since Rickard already made his decision, there was no point saying more. He asked the driver to start driving.

"Let's go to the branch office of Lane Holdings."

The car soon parked in front of the building.

This was the central business district, and Lane Holdings' building was a skyscraper. The towering height was exactly the same as the main Lane Holdings building, and it wasn't difficult to imagine the storm it would bring when the company was officially established in Genecity.
