Chapter 95 Arrogant Assistant

“Courtesy’s always been little more than a stranger to you.”

Alice didn’t wait for an answer. She turned and walked off.

That guy never said anything decent.

He’s more annoying than that blasted orange!

Eric followed right behind her, step for step.

Like a loyal wallet, doing exactly what he was told.

The scene turns to the cafe.

Upstairs, in a quiet booth tucked in the corner, Boston sat with a half–empty cup. His eyes narrowed when he saw them walk through the door. “What the hell is she doing here?”

His assistant leaned closer.

“Nolan Group’s been clashing with Levi. You know Levi’s got some strong support behind him. He’s not about to let things slide.”

Boston let out a cold laugh.

“So now she wants me to play the middleman? Please. Even if Levi and I weren’t fighting for the same resources–hell, even if we were, tight–I still wouldn’t help her.”

The assistant finally let out a breath. “Good. I thought you might actually help her out. If you did, that deal we just got would be in Levi’s hands by tomorrow.”

Boston stirred his drink slowly, then took a sip.

“This coffee’s not half bad. Sit down and give it a try. We’ve still got some filming to do later.”

The assistant lit up and quickly ordered his own.

He sat down across from Boston.

“But what if she shows up and starts begging for your help?”

Boston’s expression darkened.

“She wouldn’t be the first one to beg for my help–wouldn’t be the last either. People have been begging me for years.”

Chapter 95 Arrogant Assistant

This time, the assistant really did relax.

Boston let out a low sigh.

“Any leads on that scammer?”

The assistant shook his head. “Word’s out. We’ve got some hands on deck, but you know how this works. You’re in the spotlight now–we can’t go loud. We’ve gotta move quiet.”

Boston wasn’t a top–tier star, but he had a solid following.

He’d saved up a good chunk over the years.

But the industry burned through cash fast. Every opportunity came with a price tag.

He’d tried to buy his way onto a red carpet at an international fashion event. Turned out, it was all a scam.

All his savings, gone in one shot. Not even a single dime was left behind.

By the time he figured it out, the scammer had vanished.

And along with the disappearance was the chance of getting his money back.

If that hadn’t happened, he could’ve pitched in when his family was strapped for cash.

But truth was, he didn’t have a cent to spare.

Boston rubbed his temples. “Alright. Keep your eye on the payment from the last drama. I need that money now.”

“Got it. I’ve been watching it close.”

The assistant had a reason to care–his paycheck was tied to it as well.

Then his phone buzzed.

He picked up, listened, then hung up. His face tightened.

“Your sister’s coming up.”

Boston looked like he’d had enough. His voice was sharp with irritation.

“She’s just a nobody from the boonies we took in. We gave her money. We married her into the Nolans, What else could she possibly want?”

His assistant gave a dry laugh.

Chapter 95 Arrogant Assistant

“Some people just don’t know when to stop.”

Boston pulled in a deep breath, slow and heavy.

“Very well. If she knocks, you deal with her.”

The assistant gave a quick nod. “Of course.”

Alice and Eric ordered coffee, then they asked for a private booth.

The first floor was rambunctious, to say the least. Alice liked quiet, so they headed upstairs.

She had no idea Boston was there.

As they walked up, she noticed the floor was packed with bodyguards and men in sunglasses. Everyone looked on edge.

She didn’t care enough to find out what was going on. She found her booth and reached for the door.

Eric walked in first. She was right behind.

But before she could step through, someone called out.

“Ms. Spencer.”
