The Return of the War Legate novel Chapter 57

Samantha was shocked at how direct Adrian was at rejecting Mandy’s offer.

However, Mandy smiled before Samantha could admonish Adrian and said, “Another day then. Let me see you out, Mr. Adrian, Sam.”

Hence, Samantha had no choice but to keep her thoughts to herself.

***

Samantha felt dazed after leaving Swallowston Bank, thinking everything that happened was just a dream.

‘Mandy’s gave me a loan of a few million dollars without even asking me to sign an agreement. With that money, I’ll be able to recruit as many people as I want to build up the marketing department, settle down in Swallow Central, and secure a brighter future for Bailar. This is great!’

This was the best news Samantha had received over the past few days. As she drove back to Bailar, Adrian leaned back in the passenger seat to rest.

“Why did you behave so rudely toward Mandy back there?’ she asked, “What if she decided to not give me the loan because of that?”

Samantha scowled. ‘I can forget about the fact that you laid down on Mandy’s sofa while we were in her office, but you made it seem like you were ordering her around when she asked whether we wanted tea or coffee. What’s worse, you even rejected her offer to take us out for a meal.’

Samantha was speechless as she thought about this.

Adrian turned toward Samantha and smiled, “You’re overthinking it. Try looking for Mandy if you need her help in the future. If she refuses, I’ll admit that my actions were rude and uncalled for.”

“What are you trying to say?” Samantha asked in confusion.

‘Is he trying to say he can take full advantage of Mandy without any repercussions whatsoever?’ she wondered.

“I’ve told you many times before. You can’t behave like that around people. Do you think Mandy would have treated us like she did back there if it wasn’t for your father? Or have you forgotten that she only did all that because she wanted to repay the kindness your father showed her while he was alive?”

Rather than considering the situation further, Samantha thought that her remark was more than enough to state her point.
