Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 23

Wilbur said slowly, "Yes, speaking. What's the matter?"

"Head up north to Copperhead Factory. There's something I need your help with," Faye said.

Wilbur frowned. He immediately understood that something had happened to Faye. "Got it. I'll be right there. I'll take care of it."

At the same time, over at house number one.

Benjamin ordered the personal chef to prepare a hearty meal. He then said to his son, "Invite Wilbur over. I'd like to have a drink with him tonight."

Gordon nodded and headed out toward Wilbur's house.

At the factory, Faye hung up the call and let out a deep sigh.

She could tell that Wilbur knew something had happened to her. That was because she had never addressed Wilbur by his full name in regular conversations before. Moreover, Wilbur's response was clear that he wanted her to let him handle it.

She just hoped that Wilbur understood how dire the situation was and made sufficient preparation instead of coming alone.

Just then, Lightning Hank glanced at Stanley. "When's the money coming in?"

Stanley turned to Faye and shouted at her, "When are you sending the money over?"

Faye said in a low voice, "As you know, I might be able to move Cape's funds around, but one billion dollars isn't a small amount. I'll need another two directors to sign their approval along with mine. The earliest will have to be tomorrow morning."

Stanley knew that, of course. He just needed Lightning Hank to understand as well.

Taking a sip of his beer, Stanley turned to Lightning Hank with a flattering smile. "That's what's happening here, Big Brother. Don't worry. Now that we have her, we'll get the money for sure."

Lightning Hank placed a slice of lamb into the sizzling grill with a sneer. "Do you think I'm worried? I run Seechertown. You came looking for me. I don't care who you guys are, but that money is mine one way or another. Otherwise, you're all dead."

"Yes, of course," Stanley said smilingly.
