The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 397

Nathaniel couldn't help but burst out laughing, patting on his chest. "So, does this mean whether our companies make money this year depends on this one brownie tonight?"

Freya was amused by his words. "Theoretically, yes."

"Wait here," Nathaniel said as he walked back to the coffee table and opened his wallet, only to freeze.

His expression twisted slightly as he pulled out a few bank cards and looked at Freya with a troubled expression. "Can we use bank cards? How about this black card? It promises endless wealth!"

Freya couldn't help but laugh. "We're eating brownies for good luck, not trying to choke on a card, Mr. Nathaniel!"

Nathaniel was also amused by his own suggestion, looking at Freya with an embarrassed smile for the first time.

"Do you... have any spare change?"

Despite dating this woman for four years and later becoming fierce enemies, this was probably the first time Nathaniel had ever asked Freya for money.

Freya didn't have any money either. They had left Stanna in a hurry, and she had only brought her phone and key pouch. The pouch contained a few dollars, but they were all paper bills.

"How about dollar bills?" Freya suggested.

Nathaniel thought for a moment. "But considering it's a traditional festival with customs passed down from our ancestors, putting dollar bills in it might seem disrespectful to our ancestors."

Both of them stared at each other, their combined wealth was enough to buy half of Saeville, yet they couldn't find a suitable coin for the brownies.

"Go borrow a coin!" Freya said with a laugh.

A hint of embarrassment crossed Nathaniel's handsome face. Although everyone in the village spent his money, the thought of borrowing money on a festival felt like a death sentence. Normally, minor tasks like this were handled by Koen, but he and the others had left per Nathaniel's instructions.

Moreover, Koen was now about a thousand kilometers away, having flown back to Saeville to reunite with his parents. Calling him for a coin would be inhumane.
