A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 66

When I brought up money, Bruce's expression was no longer calm. Instead, he furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

I tried to look calm. "What? Are you not willing to spend any?"

When Bruce lifted his gaze, I saw that it was filled with mockery. "Nancy, do you not understand? I told you this opportunity isn't given…"

"The chance was mine." I had long abandoned my moral boundaries and said indifferently, "Think about it—what choice do you have if Ms. Whittaker insists on bringing me to the party? If word got out in the end, people would only think Ms. Lane was being troublesome. It might even tarnish her reputation."

Bruce narrowed his eyes and unhappily replied, "Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare," I said humbly as I took a sip of my coffee. "If I recall correctly, part of the graduation assignment includes an evaluation from the internship employer.

"I'm sure you know what to do, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bruce seemed to instantly turn cold.

His naturally indifferent demeanor now gave off an even more forbidding air, and it would make anyone scared.

Although I was also scared, I knew Bruce didn't want to see a scene where both sides suffered losses.

Now, I was simply betting on how important Cindy was to Bruce.

After a long while, I heard him speak, "How much do you want?"

Indeed, he still cared about her.

Despite winning, I still felt a sense of bitterness in my heart.

Nevertheless, I calmly replied, "It's not the first time we're partnering up. You can pay as you see fit."

I had lost my dignity and the chance to meet my idol. So, the least I could do was get some money for compensation.

After that, Bruce took out his phone and tapped heavily on his screen, showcasing how unwilling he was.

"You have received one hundred thousand dollars."

My notification snapped me back to reality, and at the next second, I received suspicious glances from the people around us.

But I was as stunned as they were.

It was one hundred thousand, after all.

This time, Bruce really suffered a huge loss for Cindy.

However, I didn't expect Caroline to bring me to BMW.

As I looked at the staff's expectant look, I whispered, "I only want to purchase a car for around a hundred thousand."

However, Caroline seemed displeased. "Do I seem that poor?"

After saying that, Caroline glanced at the staff. "Drive over the red car."

Looking at the price, I noticed that it cost almost 30 thousand for the lowest spec.

Then, Caroline forced me into the driver's seat.

Although the color of the car was a bit striking, driving it still felt pleasant.

Caroline seemed pleased too as she advised, "I thought it suited you at first glance. Nance, the warm red should be your color."

I lowered my gaze. "I can't afford it."

Caroline burst into laughter. "Don't worry. I'll top up the rest. Our company still offers some perks."
