One Night Stand With That Beggar

“Are you really okay?”

After being asked many times by Nelson, Naomi burst into laughter in the end.

“Nelson, you’ve already asked me eight hundred times. I’m really fine! I’m just a little worried. Now that it has ended up this way, what should I do next?”

Nelson caressed the top of her head and said, “There is always a way!”

Naomi couldn’t help blaming herself as she said, “It’s all my fault! I should have restrained my anger when he was slandering Dad and Valiant East. Dad always told me that to be a successful leader, we have to keep our composure. I must have let him down this time.”

When educating their children, parents would always hope that their children would grow up well. Try as they may, they just were unable to control what kind of people their children would become in the future.

For instance, Naomi was an impetuous person. It would be extremely difficult to ask her to become imperceptible.

Nelson said in a low voice, “You’ve already done very well!”

“Really?” asked Naomi.

He replied with a smile, “Of course! As the saying goes, when there’s a will, there’s a way!”

Although she knew that he was just consoling her, her heart still soared since those comforting words had come from her lover.

“Okay!”

As long as she had her beloved by her side, she would be overjoyed no matter what she was doing.

Nonetheless, Naomi still failed to sleep well that night. She even had a nightmare in the middle of the night.

“I’m sorry, Dad. It’s all my fault. I didn’t do well!”

She kept repeating the same sentence in her dream.

If it weren’t for the fact that he knew that Amos was nice to Naomi and wouldn’t abuse his child at all, he would have pictured Amos as an abusive father, who had driven Naomi into an overwrought state.

Truth be told, Naomi was in such a state because she was so eager to prove herself. That was why she was under so much pressure.

Nelson stretched out his hand and patted her on the back as he comforted her, “It’s fine, I’m here!”

Only then did Naomi slowly fall asleep.

After comforting her, he got up and sent a message to Frida.

“Regarding the suggestion that you made in the morning, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’ve thought of another one. Prepare an acquisition proposal and make an appointment with the property developer, Sheldon. I want to meet him!”

Frida asked in confusion, “Are you saying that you’re going to acquire that project?”

Nelson nodded and replied, “Yes!”

Frida retorted, “Mr. Luther, you must be joking! Even a three-year-old child would know that project is already in tatters! Spending money to acquire it now is simply the same as throwing it into the ditch! If Miss Monique finds out about this, she’ll fly into a rage!”

“If something happens, I’ll take full responsibility for it!”

Frida still refused as she tried to talk against the idea, “Mr. Luther, it’s not a matter about who takes the responsibility. I’m your secretary, so I have the right to stop you from making any inappropriate decisions.”

“Then, I’ll come up with the proposal myself.”

Frida was dumbfounded.

“Do you really have to do that? Have you forgotten about our main goal?”

“I didn’t!” he replied so, but there was a twinge of guilt in his voice.

Sighing, Frida relented, “Fine, I’ll do it!”

…

It was night.

The bright moon hovered in the sky.

After Sheldon came out of the police station, he was immediately taken away by a commercial vehicle.

“What are you doing? Are you abducting me in front of a police station? This is outrageous! You won’t be able to run away!”

Frida waved the proposal document at him and said, “Our boss wants to see you and discuss the acquisition.”

He suddenly became full of himself. Even if the project in his hand was a mess at the moment, he still somehow had a sense of superiority since someone was interested in acquiring it.

After getting out of the car, he walked forward conceitedly and entered a private room in a restaurant. Nelson, already dressed up, was sitting on a sofa inside.

Sheldon became even more pompous after recognizing Nelson.

“So, it’s you! I understand now! Did you beat me up because of that girl yesterday?”

Nelson stayed quiet while Sheldon snorted again, “You rich people! You really are diligent in pursuing girls. Guess what? I don’t want to sell the project now!”

He said so on purpose! He knew that rich people would purchase anything in order to make girls happy.

In other words, he had just said so to raise the price.

Unexpectedly, Nelson nodded and said, “Well, since this is so difficult for you, then forget it! Let’s move on and talk about what happened in the daytime.”

Sheldon was startled. For a moment, he had no idea how to react.

Shortly afterwards, the two men, who were on guard outside the door, came in and tied Sheldon’s hands behind his back.

“Behave yourself!”

The atmosphere became tense out of the blue and his sense of superiority seemed to have gone out the window. He shouted in panic, “What are you trying to do?”

“You hit someone during the day, right?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Nelson’s words made his blood run cold. He had forgotten that rich people would also avenge girls in order to make them happy.

“No, I wouldn’t dare to hit anyone! No!”

“Weren’t you the one who gave the order to do so?”

“I was just blinded by money! What I did was just say a few words, nothing else. Please don’t break my hands!”

Nelson smiled and said, “Well, slap him then!”

“I… Ouch!”

Sheldon hadn’t finished his words, yet his face was hit by a wooden board. Consequently, he felt a grimace of pain.

“I admit I was in the wrong!”

“Don’t stop!” said Nelson. Then, he leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes for a nap.

When the begging came to a stop, then only did Nelson open his eyes again. Sheldon had been beaten so severely that his face had become unrecognizable.

When he saw Nelson opening his eyes, he couldn’t help but tremble.

“Mr. Luther, please forgive me. I’ll sell the project. I’ll sell it with whatever price you propose!”

Upon hearing that, Nelson threw over a contract to him.

Sheldon opened it and took a look. It was nearly half of his expected price.

If it was in the past, he might have blown his top and beaten Nelson up. However, at the moment, he was thanking the heavens that Nelson and his people weren’t beating him up even more.

He didn’t dare to have any objections, hence he quickly signed the contract and ran away!

…

The next day, Naomi was awakened by a phone call. Waking up from her dream, she felt quite depressed.

When she realized that her colleague was calling her, she became flustered as she asked, “Is the situation of the project getting worse? I’ll go to the company right away.”

The colleague smiled and said, “No, we’re saved!”

Naomi was puzzled and asked again, “What do you mean?”

“We’ve really been saved! I just got news that someone acquired the project but it will still be handled by our company. In addition, the buyer is willing to listen to our opinions!”

Naomi was dumbfounded.

“Someone was willing to acquire the project at a moment like this? Seriously? Doesn’t the person know that it’ll be unprofitable?”

Her colleague instantly tittered and told her, “Others might not do so, but this man is an exception. What can I say? Love is blind!”

Naomi failed to comprehend the situation at all so she asked, “What is that supposed to mean?”

“For your information, the person who acquired the project is your beloved Mr. Luther!”
