Chapter 193 I Have It Too
Upon hearing Dillon’s harsh words towards Allison, Lachlan became angry and coldly questioned him.
“Oh? What’s the matter? Isn’t she a slut?”
“In front of me, she pretends to be innocent, but it turns out she’s with you?” Dillon sneered.
Brandon also looked at Allison askance and said, “Allison, if you’re not with someone else, why not be with Mr. Hodge? Just because he lent you 80 thousand dollars? Being with Mr. Hodge has more benefits than just that!”
“Mr. Hodge, I think you’ve misunderstood. Lachlan is just an old classmate of mine; we don’t have the kind of dirty relationship that you’re talking about! I hope everyone can speak respectfully!” Allison said angrily.
“Oh really? You little bitch dare to tell me to be respectful?” Upon hearing this statement from Allison, Dillon smirked and reached out his hand towards her face.
However, at this moment Lachlan grabbed his wrist!
“Ah! It hurts! Let go or I’ll kill you!” cried out Dillon while pointing at Lachlan in anger.
“You have a big mouth and like to use your hands too much,” replied Lachlan coldly as he glared at him with hostility.
“Let go of Mr. Hodge!” Brandon shouted at Lachlan while displaying an oily expression full of malice on his face.
Meanwhile the bodyguards around Dillon also threatened and cursed at Lachlan one after another.
“Lachlan let it go! Don’t make things too big…,” Allison pulled on Lachlan’s arm while looking helpless and flustered on her face.
Dillon was the young director of Hodge’s Wine Company where she worked; if lanchan beat up Dillon here then what should she do?
Lachlan snorted when he heard this before finally letting go of Dillon, “You’d better behave yourself.”
Dillon rubbed his sore wrist feeling as though lanchan had used iron pliers instead; almost breaking all bones in it.
He wanted his bodyguards to teach lanchan a lesson but after seeing what car Lachlan drove along with how domineering he acted made him unsure about who exactly was backing up Lachlan.
Who was this kid anyway?
“Kid where did you come from? What’s your father’s name? Do you know who I am?” asked Dillon coldly.
“What? You want to rely on your daddy’s power? No problem, I’m not some rich second generation. Do whatever you want!” Lachlan sneered at Dillon, his tone disdainful and arrogant.
Dillon was furious at Lachlan’s words but felt even more uneasy inside. He looked towards Allison and said, “Allison, mark my words today. There is no woman that I can’t get! If you’re smart, dump this loser and come with me. I promise you a life of luxury and riches beyond your wildest dreams! Eight million dollars tonight if that’s what it takes!”
“Otherwise… you can kiss this job goodbye!” Brandon chimed in from the sidelines with a sly grin on his face.
He looked like a eunuch from ancient times serving under the prince…
Allison’s face changed instantly upon hearing their threats; anger flashed across her features.
She had been working for the company for two years now and had become proficient in her duties while earning a decent salary each month.
If she lost this job, she didn’t know what she would do next – especially since her mother was still sick and needed medical attention. Plus, she still owed money to Lachlan.
Where could she find another job that paid over five thousand dollars per month?
“Don’t worry about it Allison! If you don’t want to work here anymore, then go manage Golden Family Hotel instead – I’ll make sure they pay you ten thousand dollars per month,” Lachlan said as he waved his hand dismissively.
However, Allison forced out a bitter laugh as she replied, “Lachlan… I could borrow eighty thousand dollars from you if I wanted to because I know that eventually I’d be able to pay it back slowly over time.”
“But… I don’t want to work for you because then our relationship would change completely.”
“I don’t want things between us to turn sour…”
“Thank you for offering though – but let’s just forget about it.” She smiled weakly at him while feeling heartbroken inside.
It was true; borrowing money from him wouldn’t change anything between them since they were equals after all…
But working under him as an employee would be different entirely – especially considering their past history together when they were classmates who once harbored feelings for one another…
The thought of being reduced down into nothing more than an employee made Allison feel sick inside!© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Therefore, she refused without hesitation! Even if she lost her job, Allison would never work under Lachlan.
Perhaps this was also a matter of self-respect…
“Haha, kid, did you hear that? Allison won’t go to your place!” Dillon laughed triumphantly upon hearing this.
Brandon chimed in with his own snide remark, “Allison, since you still want to work here, why don’t you go to Mr. Hodge? Otherwise, you’ll lose your job… tsk tsk!”
Allison bit her lip and felt a sense of injustice and resentment.
“I will find another job that suits me,” she said stubbornly through tears.
Lachlan frowned at the situation but couldn’t help because Allison refused his help on the job front.
At that moment, Dillon received a phone call.
“Hello? Elian?”
“What? The pharmacist is holding an auction for Nourishing Essence Pill tonight?”
“Great! I’m on my way too!”
“Damn, even if it costs 1 million per pill I have to buy another one!”
“You don’t know how amazing it is; ever since I ate one last time I can react without taking medicine now! Hahaha… last time…”
The conversation continued with some vulgar language that made Allison blush furiously beside them. Meanwhile Lachlan raised an eyebrow and showed a hint of intrigue after hearing about Dillon’s phone call.
When they finished their conversation and were about to threaten Allison again regarding her job status- Lachlan spoke up first, “This is Mr. Hodge right? You want Nourishing Essence Pill?”
Dillon was taken aback for a moment before sneering, “Oh wow so now you know too huh? What kind of good stuff doesn’t someone want huh? What’s wrong did my phone call make you think about joining the auction too? Hahaha dream on! I won’t take you there!”
After he finished speaking, Brandon and several lackeys looked at Lachlan with mockery thinking he wanted Nourishing Essence Pill but had no way in getting it himself.
“You’re mistaken! What I mean is that I also have Nourishing Essence Pills in my hands.”
“If you’re interested, we can talk conditions.”
However, Lachlan shook his head and said with a playful tone.
