A Graduation Gift
Chapter 101 Forcing A Smiling Face
As she entered Rufus's office with her completed design, Cassandra found him sitting on the sofa, swirling a glass of wine. He seemed lost in thought.
"Mr. Luo, this is my design of the nursing home. Please check it before I submit to our partner,"
she said as she put her work on Rufus's desk and waited for his reply.
Rufus took a sip of wine and closed his eyes, enjoying its flavor and sensation as he swallowed it down his throat.
"How is your father doing?"
asked Rufus instead of acknowledging Cassandra's request. One of his subordinates managed to locate the IP address of the poster. It was in New York. He already sent someone to look into it.
Cassandra's thoughts on the matter interested him.
"My father… He should be punished by what he has done, but I don't think his company should go bankrupt. I am determined to do my best to save it," she replied.
In reality, Cassandra had no idea how to help her father's company. Still, she was not about to show weakness in front of Rufus. She did not need anyone's sympathy, especially his.
Rufus stifled a sigh. He knew everything about Cassandra and her situation. The only way to save her father's company was by paying a fine. It would be impossible for her to come up with such a vast amount of money.
Rufus stood up and gave her an envelope.
"Open it," he said.
Cassandra hesitated. A part of her did not want to take it.
"What are you thinking about? Just take it,"
urged Rufus as he pushed the envelope closer to her.
"No, Mr. Luo, I can't accept your money!"
Cassandra stepped back stubbornly.
She knew that raising the money would be difficult, but she was determined to try.
She would not let the Qin Group go bankrupt. She would sell their villa and rent an apartment for her family if she had to.
Since the villa was bought many years ago, it had already increased in value. It would sell for a good price. Cassandra also had some friends back in Rome who were willing to lend her money. Another option was to apply for a loan.
The last thing she wanted to do was to borrow or accept money from the Tang family. This included Rufus. It would be a huge blow to her ego.
