He had thought he would be able to pay it back quickly.
Unexpectedly, the interest kept compounding, growing larger and larger. Before his business could even take off, the interest had already ballooned to ten million.
What troubled him the most was-
His project was short on funds and had already been put on hold. All the money he had invested before had gone down the drain.
“Tsk, damn it.‘
“Just you all wait. When I make my comeback, I’ll settle the score with every one of you.”

On this day-
Charlotte went to school for classes in the morning, and as usual, came to the company in the afternoon.
She had just arrived at her office.
Andy came over holding a large bouquet of vibrant roses and handed them to her. “Ms. Lindsey, these flowers were sent by a Mr. Bradford.”
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the card, and saw there was no signature. “A Mr. Bradford?”

“Yes.”
“Alright, got it.” She took the flowers and carried them into her office.
“Who could have sent them? Could it be Gregory?”
She stared at the flowers, speculating in her heart. Thinking of Gregory, her heart inexplicably burned.
To her surprise… she was actually hoping it was from him.
Recalling that scene in the bathroom stall that day, she became even more distracted,
It had already been more than a week.
He seemed to have vanished into thin air–he hadn’t looked for her, nor contacted her again.
She actually found herself missing him a little.
“Hmm, should I take the initiative and call him?”
“No, no, if he doesn’t reach out to me and I call him first, it would look like I’m desperate to chase after him.”
Charlotte couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.
Gregory was indeed far superior to Timothy in every way. If she could marry him, she would actually be willing.
But…
He was eight years older than her, and she had always called him ‘Uncle‘ along with Timothy. Now, she couldn’t quite adjust to the change in their relationship.

“But, we’ve already been intimate. I can’t just pretend nothing ever happened, can I?”
The first time she slept with him, he wasn’t fully conscious. She did it to make up for what she owed him in her previous life, so she didn’t ask him to take responsibility.
But the second time, he was completely sober, and it was… forceful.
“He even sent me flowers. I should at least thank him, right?”
Charlotte hesitated anxiously for a long time.
In the end, she found the business card he had left her last time and couldn’t help but call him.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
As the call connected, her heart began to race wildly. She was already thinking about what to say as soon as he picked up.
The phone rang a few times before someone finally answered.
“Hello, good afternoon!” On the other end, a crisp and gentle female voice came through.
“Charlotte froze, thinking she had dialed the wrong number, and quickly checked the phone number.
No mistake, it was Gregory’s business card.
“Hello, may I ask who’s calling?”
Charlotte swallowed nervously, her heart pounding. “Uh, who are you? Is this Gregory’s phone?”

“Yes, I am Mr. Bradford’s chief secretary, Natalee Collins. If you have any message, please let me know and I will pass it on to Mr. Bradford.”
“Charlotte felt a chill at the tip of her heart, and her mind began to conjure up all sorts of images.
“Where’s Gregory?”
On the other end, Natalee’s voice remained gentle and pleasant. “Oh, Mr. Bradford is taking a shower right now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me–I’ll pass it on to Mr. Bradford.”
” Charlotte instantly felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, and she silently hung up the phone.
