The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 310 The Knight in Shining Armor

Jennifer straightened up, grabbed a small throw blanket, and covered her legs properly to hide what should be hidden. She then asked in a cool tone, "What are you doing here?"

"Jennifer, you really have a short memory! Didn't I just say when I walked in? I'm here to be your patron, to bring you money, to save your Zen Byte. I'm like the knight in shining armor, riding a white horse to rescue you from distress!"

"You? A knight? Please. Do you really think you have even a hint of knightly spirit? If you don’t tell me what you’re here for, I’ll call security! I'll say you're here to steal and have you thrown out!"

"Steal?"

Daniel gave Jennifer a playful look and with utter seriousness said, "There’s nothing to steal in this office! There's only a beautiful woman! You tell the security that I'm here to steal, isn't that absurd? However, it might be somewhat plausible if you tell them I'm here for a secret tryst with you!"

"You… with me?"

"Yes, with you!!"

"You bastard!"

Jennifer glared hatefully at Daniel and said coldly, "Don't think I don't know. Even if you don't say it, I understand. You're here today because TMO launched a facial mask project and needs a manufacturer. Among all manufacturers, the one I manage is the most suitable. So you're here to beg me! Since you're asking for my help, you need to show your sincerity!"

"Since Jennifer already knows my purpose, asking further is pointless. After all, I, the knight, have already arrived at your office on my white steed and extended an olive branch. If you're still so unwilling to cooperate, then I'll just leave!"

With that, Daniel turned and walked away!

Jennifer panicked at this. That country boy cannot leave! If he does, her whole plan would fail.

Zen Byte's manufacturing plant had been idle for over a year, without any orders or production. Those two production lines and all the machinery would rust if they remained idle.

If the machines broke down due to rust, the production lines would turn into worthless scrap! This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She had to land TMO's manufacturing contract. It wasn't just about saving the manufacturer; it could also save her Zen Byte. At the very least, it would prevent her company from being so passive— maintaining a workforce with no work to be done.

Thinking about this, Jennifer quickly called out, "Stop! Don't you dare leave!"

Daniel turned back, smiling mischievously, "Have you had a change of heart, Jennifer? Can’t bear to see me go? Are you ready to mount my white horse and stay with me?"

"Country boy, just honestly answer me one question. Do you like me?"

"Like you? What's there to like? Do you think just because you're pretty, every man who sees you will fall in love with you? I won't like you! But, I'll make you fall for me, have you chase after me, and yet you'll never have me!"

Daniel was a straightforward man who always spoke his mind.

"Make me fall for you? Chase you? Ha!"

Jennifer gave Daniel a cold laugh, her face dripping with mockery, "Do you think that's even possible? Do you think I would be so blind as to fall for a country bumpkin like you, let alone chase after you?"
