Chapter 145 – It’s Not Convenient to Disclose
Not waiting for Blake to answer my question, Albert annoyingly pulled over my hand and slapped it into Blake’s palm, “Oops! This is considered to have met, you guys take your time to chat, I have to withdraw beforehand, how to cooperate you guys decide by yourselves!”
He took a few steps, then suddenly turned back around and scowled at me, “Daisy, forget, it’s not me trying to help you, it’s him! You ask him if you have any questions!”
After saying that, he turned around and left, as if he had hidden himself, and when I returned to my senses, he had already disappeared without a trace.
I had to look at the man in front of me named Blake, who hooked his lips in a smile, and that light in his eyes that was both gentle and sly made me seem to see the same Blake from back in the day again.
Blake’s big hand clutched mine, tightened, and said meaningfully, “Better sit! It’s a long way back there!”
His hand still clutched mine, his palm rough but conveying a slight warmth.
“Finding you wasn’t too easy, I only found Scarlette,” he said as he looked at me, “and sure enough there’s no mistaking the direction.”
I cleared my throat to lighten up, then gathered my out-of-control expression and drew back my hand as I sat down on the couch, “How did you find out about me? Scarlette said?”
“It doesn’t matter, what matters is that I’m going to help you get everything you have back.” Blake sat down across from me, that customary sitting position falling back into place.
“I still want to know why you … are the way you are. What the hell is going on here? Back then, why did you suddenly take a break from school and disappear without a trace?” I asked the questions in my heart in a series.
He smiled but didn’t answer, his deep eyes kept looking at me, the emotions in them obscure.
Back then, Blake looked like this whenever he was alone with me, but now, he had this face that was a complete stranger to me, and it felt like a lifetime ago.
I never thought I’d see Blake again someday, much less that after a goodbye, I’d see him again with a face like this in front of my eyes, and as my partner.
What a creation.
The last thing I would want, if I could, is to meet Blake when I’m desperate and in such dire straits.
Blake withdrew himself and reached over to pour me a cup of tea, placing it in front of me.
“I know all about what happened to you, and to be honest, it’s probably more serious than you think. Prepare your heart!” Blake’s tone was serious, “You can talk to me about your thoughts, the more detailed the better!”
I’m suddenly a little nervous, probably embarrassed.
Clenching his hand, he took a deep breath, and what was asked was not answered, “Are you sure you want to be a partner in this?”
Blake looked at me, “Well, do you have anyone better?”
I’m dumbfounded, not to mention the right people, but even the plan isn’t too well thought out.
“It’s not a small amount of money, and the stock market is risky, by the way, in my current state, everything is out of my hands.” I got straight to the point and laid things out on the table.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
To be honest, I’m a little scared that this funder is going to be him. I’ve already dragged Jacob down with me, and after ten years, I can’t afford to be dragging Blake down with me.
“Blake…” I swallowed and looked over at him, “This is purely my personal duel, you don’t have to get involved, I didn’t know they were talking about you as a partner, I… …”
“If you trust me, then leave it to me, don’t have too many worries!” He looked at me, and I seemed to see a hint of … tenderness in his eyes!
A sudden wave of panic rose in me and I avoided his gaze.
Blake saw my hesitation and continued to speak, “I know how difficult this is. I can have Warren draft an agreement to purchase the equity of you and Robert and whichever other shareholders you have as a third party, and then sell it back to you at the original price when the dust settles on your end.”
“Original price?” I was a little surprised and suspected I’d heard wrong, “I thought we agreed to work together?”
Blake hooked up the corners of his lips in a deep smile, “Of course it is cooperation, but I have another plan, just … it is not convenient to disclose it to you now.”
