Chapter 252
"Got it."
Chuck smiled and said. He was also surprised, the first time that Susan came to the house, he'd already touched her in the bathroom. And in the room last night, he saw Susan's body.
As Chuck was thinking, he subconsciously swept his eyes across Susan's frame. Susan noticed it and got angry. "Haven't you seen enough last night?" Susan cried.
Chuck blushed.
Susan had so much mixed feelings, it was driving her mad!
"Where to?" Chuck asked.
"Your wife's restaurant, I'm helping out for the decoration." Susan closed her eyes, it was better not to see him.
Chuck stopped looking at her and drove Susan to the restaurant. Susan got out of the car, and Chuck asked, "Hey, how much money do you owe?"
After all, Chuck had enjoyed what he saw last night.
"Do you wish to pay my debt for me?" Susan turned around and replied.
"I'll lend it to you," Chuck shook his head. A few million dollars just for a few glances? Chuck was not that extravagant. He just wanted to pay it back for her first and get her to rent a room outside. Then, Chuck and Yvette can finally spend some time together alone.
"There's no need, I'll figure it out by myself. Besides, just because I took off my clothes and you've seen something, it doesn't mean that you can buy me with money. Listen carefully, I'm not a hooker," Susan said coldly and turned into the shop that had not been renovated.
Chuck was speechless. He didn't mean it that way, how could he take her as a hooker? He was just guilty for grabbing her last time and seeing her the day before. That was why Chuck said so. After all, she was Yvette's best friend.
Chuck was about to look for Auntie Logan when his phone rang. It was Yolanda. Chuck answered.
"Chuck, are you free now? Come to the plaza. I have something to tell you," it was Yolanda's voice.
Judging from her tone, it seemed that something had happened. Chuck told her that he would arrive soon. After hanging up, Chuck called Auntie Logan again.
"Hello, Chucky," Willa greeted gently.
Chuck informed her, "Auntie Logan, I'm going to the plaza this morning. I have something to deal with."
"Alright, go do what you need to do. I'll sleep for a while," Willa responded.
Chuck felt a little sorry. He was the one who asked Auntie Logan to stay, but in the end, he had no time to accompany her. Chuck sighed, "Auntie Logan, I'm sorry." Willa said in a dismissive tone, "Why are you apologizing? It's okay, Chucky, focus on your work."
"Alright," Chuck answered.
After hanging up, Chuck drove to the plaza.
On the other side, Willa put down her mobile phone and chuckled. "Why is this kid being so polite?" She wondered.
She began to read a book, but she was thinking about where she should visit with Chucky.
Yvette was busy in the office. After taking over the company again, there were many affairs to deal with. The company's business had been improved, much to her surprise. If this went on, the company could earn about a hundred thousand per month.
Yvette held her chin and said, "This was all thanks to Hubby. I can't let him down."
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Yvette recollected herself and said, "Please come in."
The door opened and a man entered. Yvette was surprised and stood up immediately to welcome him. Wilbur, the owner of this square, actually came over to see her. She was surprised and said, "Director Wendel, please, take a seat."
Wilbur sat down. He was slapped by Zabrina in public the day before, and the humiliation had forced Wilbur to do the extreme. It was all because of Chuck who had told on him and caused him to lose the chance to pursue Zabrina, which he almost succeeded in. It was all because Chuck didn't keep his promise.
Now, he wanted to return the favor and expose Chuck as well!
He wanted Chuck to have a taste of failure too, but he was cautious, so he came alone to find Yvette.
He knew that Chuck had a strong background, so how could he not have planned it out thoroughly?
"Director Jordan, I came here today to speak with you about something," Wilbur said.
"Go ahead," Yvette braced herself up. Although he was not a baller, he was still her husband's good friend, let alone the owner of this square.
"But before that, I want you to promise me one thing," Wilbur said.
"Okay," Yvette answered.
"Don't tell Chuck I've said this," Wilbur implied.
Yvette was confused, but the curiosity in her heart was also evoked. She nodded and said, "Okay."
"If you tell him, Chuck will be hit to death by a car," Wilbur continued.
Yvette frowned. "Director Wendel, what do you mean?" Yvette asked.
She was a little annoyed. Why did he say that about her husband?
"You'll definitely want to know what I'm about to say, but I don't want Chuck to know that I've said it, so you have to promise me. I won't say it if I don't have the assurance. Besides, as long as you don't let Chuck find out that I was the one who told you, it should be fine."
Yvette shook her head, "There's no need, I don't want to know about my husband's matter in this kind of way."
She got mad in an instant. If he wasn't Chuck's friend, she would have asked Wilbur to leave immediately. What was he saying? Cursing her husband to get hit by a car and die?
Wilbur laughed. "Is that so? Hehe, if I tell you that I'm not the owner of the plaza, would you believe it?" He said.
Yvette paused. "What do you mean?" She asked.
"Are you interested now? I've told you it's something you'll definitely want to know," Wilbur's smile widened. "I'm telling you, this square was indeed mine previously. My father's, as well as mine. But someone bought it over some time ago. Do you want to know who this person is?" Wilbur asked.
Yvette nodded subconsciously. "Who?"
Chuck drove to the plaza. He went upstairs to Yolanda's office. "Yolanda, what happened?"
When Chuck came in, he saw Yolanda's eyes were red. "What happened?" Chuck closed the door and sat down curiously. Yolanda was rarely in such a situation. She was usually cheerful and optimistic. Why was she acting like this now?
"Chuck, I have to take leave for a while, so I can't plan out for that land. Also, I don't think I can continue working at the plaza, I have to leave for an extended period," Yolanda was sad. She stayed up late last night to plan what to do for the piece of land they bought, but she had suddenly received a phone call from her father.
Her family was ruined, and Chuck knew about it since the very beginning.
"Yolanda, I was scammed. I lost more than five million dollars. You have to help me..." This was what Yolanda's father had said over the phone.
When Yolanda received the phone call, she got anxious. Her family used to have hundreds of millions of assets, but the company was not managing well and the capital chain had broken off suddenly. The company had been suffering for more than a year, and then it finally went bankrupt.
Her father had been thinking of making a comeback, so he did business frequently. However, he was losing even more because of that and Yolanda was already out of ideas. This time, he had lost more than five million dollars. Yolanda didn't know what to do, her father was scammed.
She only had around three hundred thousand dollars with her, and it wasn't even close to the amount he lost. Besides, she had already sent the money back to her family.
She had thought of asking Chuck to help her, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.
Chuck was dumbstruck. Yolanda had been doing a great job, why would she want to quit out of a sudden? "What happened? Tell me, I'll help you."
Chuck had taken a fancy to Yolanda's ability, and her potential was unlimited. Chuck wanted her to be his second-in-command.
"I..." Yolanda shook her head. "Chuck, it's hard to say. Can I ask for leave? Can I take half a month?"
Chuck was speechless. "Yolanda, just say what you want to say. It's okay, tell me. We are friends, aren't we?"
Yolanda was moved. Yes, Chuck was her boss, and he was also her friend.
"My father was scammed," Yolanda was worried.
"Is he alright?" Chuck asked. Was he scammed for money?
"He's fine, but he has been scammed a fortune."
"How much? Just tell me, it's okay." Chuck knew that Yolanda would be of great value to him in the future.
"Five, five million," Yolanda stuttered.
Chuck smiled and said, "Why didn't you just take five million from the plaza account?"
Chuck thought that it was tens of millions of dollars. But five million dollars was considered a huge sum of money for Yolanda's family, who had been on a decline.
Yolanda felt touched, "Thank you, I will definitely repay you."
Chuck smiled and said, "Plan out properly for that land and manage the plaza well. At the end of this year, I will give you a bonus more than that."
Chuck had planned to give Yolanda a big bonus at the end of the year. Now, it was considered as him giving it in advance, which he was fine with. After all, Chuck had other plans coming up, and Yolanda would be very busy, she probably would even need to stay up late all the time. Furthermore, Yolanda was the one who was in charge of Chuck's work, and she would also need to be in charge of the company once he set it up in the future.
Yolanda was so moved that she couldn't say a word. She just felt that she had worked for the right person.
"How far away is your home? I'll drive you over to settle this. While we're there, I'll see if there are any projects suited for us," Chuck proposed.
