The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 55

Samuel and Cedric were completely at a loss for words as they were faced with this unexpected turn of events.

They were distraught. They could only watch helplessly as Adrian and Samantha followed Mandy into Swallowston Bank.

They had mixed feelings about the situation.

“Samuel, ummm…”

Once Mandy and Samantha left, Cedric looked at Samuel awkwardly and had trouble finding the words to say.

Samuel flew into a rage. He turned around to glare at Cedric and roared, “Cedric, you got me in some deep sh*t today!”

Pow!

Samuel punched Cedric in the face.

Cedric fell face–down to the ground and was panic–stricken. “Samuel, listen to me! Samuel! I didn’t know that this would happen either!”

Samuel could not be bothered to speak to Cedric as he proceeded to beat Cedric up.

Meanwhile, in the most luxurious VIP reception room on the highest floor of the twenty–four–story–tall Swallowston Bank, Mandy opened the door and said, “Ms. Samantha, Mr. Adrian, this way please.”

Samantha thanked Mandy and walked in. The room was spacious and decorated elegantly and lavishly.

She looked around the VIP reception room in astonishment. She had not expected the renowned tycoon of Swallowston, Mandy Cole, to treat her so politely.

“Please take a seat,” said Mandy with a smile.

Samantha took a seat on the sofa with her thighs squeezed together tightly under her short skirt.

On the other hand, Adrian simply lay down on the sofa. He even dangled his legs over the sofa’s armrest.

Upon witnessing this scene, Samantha immediately called out to him softly, “Adrian, have some manners.”

Adrian pursed his lips.

However, Mandy said smilingly, “It’s fine, Ms. Samantha. Make yourself at home.”

“Uh…” Samantha was astounded.

‘Mandy is being a little too easygoing, right?”

Adrian’s action was really rude, yet Mandy did not show the slightest hint of anger.

Samantha did not comment further upon hearing Mandy’s response.

Meanwhile, Mandy said, “Would you like a drink? Coffee, tea, or something else?”

“I’ll have tea and she’ll have a coffee,” answered Adrian.

Samantha turned her head to look at Adrian.

Mandy smiled and ordered someone to make a coffee and two cups of tea before getting down to business.

Samantha appeared incredulous when the drinks were served.

Mandy wanted to treat them in this manner. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Samantha pursed her lip and pulled out a few documents from her bag. “Ms. Mandy, this is Bailar’s basic information. Please have a look.”

She had to show the company’s information to Mandy to take out a loan.

Mandy nodded, took the documents, and read them for a while.

“Ms. Samantha, I have high hopes for Bailar. Moreover, you have Mr. Henry’s son to assist you. I believe that Mr. Adrian is just as capable as his father,” said Mandy with a smile.

Henry was well–known across Swallowston a few years ago so Mandy was well aware of him.

Samantha smiled and said upon hearing Mandy’s remark. “You flatter Adrian too much. I’ll have to thank my lucky stars if he’s even half as capable as his father.”
