A Crazy Night Novel

Sheridan concealed his intentions, but Christina wasn’t a fool. Although Sheridan had just made me a generous offer, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a businessman. He won’t give up on twenty million worth of shares to please a friend. After all, he’s not a man who will act impulsively at will.

“Mr. Stone, due to the circumstances of our relationship, I think we ought to maintain a distance from each other to avoid letting others take advantage of us.” Christina then put on a serious expression and added, “Tell me what your motive is.”

“I’m just trying to prove that although Yerck and Nigel are from the Stone family, that doesn’t change my relationship with you.” Sheridan had a poker face that prevented others from knowing if he was telling the

truth.

Christina was skeptical, but she couldn’t give up on the chance to acquire the shares. “Here’s my offer, Mr. Stone. I’ll pay you the amount you paid for the shares and top up another five million. If you’re okay with that, we can sign a contract right away.”

“If you feel bad about it, perhaps you should just pay me the exact amount I paid for the shares. Instead of topping up the amount, why don’t you return me a favor by buying me a meal? I’m easily contented, but there are things that I might insist on.” Sheridan smiled faintly and added, “After all, people always long for things they can’t get their hands on.”

Christina ignored the ambiguous words and went straight to the point by saying, “I’ll get my secretary to draft the contract, then.”

With that, she called her secretary through the internal line and told her to draft the contract before bringing it into her office.

While they were waiting. Sheridan tried to engage in small talk with Christina, but she merely gave him blithe replies.

Soon, the contract was delivered to Christina. However, Sebastian was the one who delivered it to her.

Sheridan’s smile stiffened when he saw Sebastian. “Have you been poached. Mr. Taggart? Weren’t you working for Mr. Hadley as his secretary?”
