Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 233

Jeremy had just made his way back into the heart of the city. He had just finished a meeting.

After answering Ronald's call, the smile on his face was impossible to suppress.

As Harper walked in, she caught Jeremy with a smirk that spelled nothing but trouble.

"Mr. Patel, here are the documents you need to sign."

No sooner had she finished her sentence than Jeremy's phone began to ring again. He glanced at the caller ID, and his smile widened.

It was Yorick.

Jeremy answered, "Hey."

"Did you just clinch the deal with the Lugar family?"

Even through the phone, Jeremy could hear the sound of Yorick grinding his teeth.

His voice dripped with mischief as he replied, "What else? You expected me to wait for you to screw it up first, so I could swoop in and fix it?

See, the thing is, you got caught up, let's say, chasing skirts. Me? I don’t have the patience for such distractions."

Yorick was silent, his breathing heavy.

Frustrated, he managed to ask, "Why would the Lugar family choose you?"

Jeremy chuckled, "Obviously because I'm not tangled up in any romantic escapades."

Yorick was speechless.

Harper could only think: Seriously? That's the reason? How infuriating!

At this point, Yorick was so furious he might as well have been tearing Jeremy apart with his bare hands.

But Jeremy wasn’t done. He twister the knife further in Yorick’s heart! , "Honestly, you shouldn't even be worried about the Lugar deal right now. You've got bigger fish to fry, what with all the drama surrounding Ursula."

His tone was unmistakably sarcastic.

Yorick, overcome with anger, hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Jeremy shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, that's that."
