Chapter 75
Taylor made his appearance by kicking over the pile of files on his office desk. The papers were scattered all over the group.
The bodyguards seemed unfazed by his actions. After they led Mikayla to Taylor, they retreated to stand guard outside the office door.
“Mrs. Miller, please have a seat,” Taylor said. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
He held a highball glass in his hand, with one leg casually resting on the desk.
He spoke with a nonchalant tone, “Do you know why I asked you to come here?”
“I’m not sure,” Mikayla calmly replied. “However, I’d like to apologize to you. I was wrong
about your involvement in Johnny’s incident”
Taylor let out a mocking chuckle and said, “You’re quite a tactful person, seeing as your apologized first. Don’t you think you should apologize for Jerome who caused trouble at my place last time?”
Mikayla knew that Taylor was looking for trouble She said, I’m sorry. I didn’t know he would create such a huge commotion.”
Taylor’s mood did improve a bit after Mikayla apologized. He pointed to a large bottle of wine on the bar counter, looking at Mikayla with a playful expression.
“Since you know that you were in the wrong, you should finish that bottle of wine ast punishment. Then, we can talk about how you should repay me for the mental distress you.
have caused.”
Even if Mikayla had a good alcohol tolerance, drinking such a large bottle would inevitably.
lead to alcohol intoxication.
“I can’t drink this much, Mr. Blue. You know that the incident at the bar was an honest mistake. I believe you’ve investigated the matter and know that Jerome already knew about Johnny
“The incident has nothing to do with me. I wasn’t the one who set you up.
“But Jerome did cause trouble at my place.”
Taylor swirled the wine glass and continued, “You are talking as if Jerome has no feelings for you and that you are his enemy. However, I know that he cares about you very much.
“Are you trying to use me to make your marriage life more spicy?”
It was reasonable that Taylor thought this way. After all, Jerome appeared in time and resolved the trouble for Mikayla when she had been involved in the car accident and was trapped in the bar.
But Taylor didn’t know that Jerome helped her not because he had feelings for her, but simply because of her identity as “Mrs. Miller“.
“Mr. Blue, how about we make a bet?” Mikayla suggested.
Taylor’s handsome face showed some interest in Mikayla’s words. “What do you want to bet on?”
Mikayla said, “If I can restore Ansoft Enterprise’s reputation, then you’ll forget about all the unpleasant things that happened between us and we can continue to work together.”
Mikayla was going to talk to Taylor even if he didn’t ask to see her today.
After all, she knew from her past life that Mocato Investment was the only company capable of contending with the Miller group. She certainly didn’t want to miss this precious
opportunity.
Mikayla initially thought that Taylor was a person who had no principles and would help
Johnny no matter what. But after hearing from Betty, she was starting to see Taylor in a
new light.
“And what if you lose?” Taylor asked.
Mikayla pointed to the cabinet full of liquor. “Then I’ll drink until you’re satisfied.”
Taylor sneered and said, “Even if you drink yourself to death, what benefit does it bring me? I’ll just be wasting good liquor.”
“What kind of punishment do you think is appropriate then?” Mikayla asked.
Taylor said lazily, “If you lose, then you must make Jerome publicly apologize to me.”
Mikayla refused immediately, “I can’t do that.
Η
Jerome would not listen to Mikayla, much less bow down to Taylor.
“In that case, there’s no need for me to take the bet. But since I’m a reasonable person, you
don’t have to drink the wine. There’s something else you can do instead.”
