Chapter 3 I Won't Pay For It

Amanda's heart sank. She wanted to follow him to the elevator, but she remembered the previous warning to her. That was his exclusive elevator, and no one was allowed to use it except for him.

In other people's eyes, Danny was very polite. Even if his subordinates greeted him, he would take time out of his day to greet them back.

However, there was just something in his eyes that would intimidate anyone who approached him.

Amanda immediately ran to the public elevator at the other side, hoping to meet him as soon as possible. Besides, she didn't have much time left.

Glancing at the documents in her hands, a smile crept into her lips. It would be a good chance for her to enter his office with these documents. She took a deep breath before dialing his office number. "Hello." A deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hello, Mr. Danny. This is Amanda. I have documents that you should sign," she said calmly.

"Send it to me." Danny hung up almost immediately.

Amanda took a deep breath. Although she wanted to see him, she still couldn't help but be afraid of seeing him soon.

With his intimidating stance, she was afraid that she'd be too timid to say a word.

However, knowing what was lying at stake, Amanda plucked up her courage and grabbed the documents tightly. Without another thought, she went up to the twenty-first floor.

Before she had another chance to back out, the elevator had already arrived.

Amanda walked into his office.

Danny was a rare man. He was rich. In fact, he was probably one of the richest man in the city, but instead of spending all his cash for fun, he was sitting on his office desk while he read through important documents.

He was responsible and serious. Even tabloids couldn't find anything against him.

However, it was just that type of man that could intimidate people. They knew for a fact that he was a 'no-bullshit' type.

Amanda placed the documents in front of him. She half expected that he'd look up at her and prompt her to speak.

However, he didn't even look up as he continued reading. "You may leave now," he said coldly.

She took a deep breath, trying to get a hold of herself. Didn't he once say that she was his woman?

Even if she had refused him, he wouldn't hate her that much, would he?

Amanda couldn't understand why he'd act so indifferent after what happened the past months.

She chewed on her lower lip for a few seconds before opening her mouth. "Mr. Danny, I actually have something to discuss with you."

Finally, Danny raised his head from the file he was reading and stared at her. "Say it," he ordered.

Amanda swallowed nervously as his intimidating gaze fell on her.

Thinking of her father on the hospital bed, she blinked. "A month ago, my father was found out that he has gastric cancer. It's already at stage three. He needs a large sum of money for his treatment. I was hoping if I could get a five-year-advance of my salary to pay it off."

Hearing her words, Danny frowned. An unknown emotion flashed into his eyes as seconds had passed. Amanda held her breath and lowered her head, not daring to look at him in the eye.

He sighed. "I feel sorry for your father, and I sympathize with your situation, but I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to hand you the five year advance."

Her eyes widened. "Mr. Danny, please! As long as you're willing to help me, I'll do my best work in the next five years. Please."

"Do you really want to account your salary?" His eyes squinted.

Amanda stared at him for a long time, not knowing what he meant. "Yes."

"The director of this branch company will be removed soon. Being the assistant, you'll also be fired. Do you really think you could last for five years?"

he said indifferently. In fact, there was even a mocking tone embedded in his words.

His words almost knocked her over. If it hadn't been for her sheer will, she would've already fainted.

'What the hell? Did I heard that right?'

It felt as if time had frozen into place as her hopes came crashing down. Only God knew how much she needed this job.

"I..." she stuttered out, at a loss for words.

Danny's eyes darkened. He knew for a fact that his words hurt her deeply, but his icy heart wouldn't allow him to help her.

He was running a company, not a charity after all.

However, after looking deep into her eyes, he couldn't help but feel a tug in his heart. Danny stayed silent as he wondered on how she'd react. ... Amanda took a deep breath. She felt as if her whole world was finally falling apart as she stared in disbelief. It seemed that she was done for. Her father was done for. Amanda clenched her fists, shutting her eyes close as she tried to claw at every other option that soared through her mind. Suddenly,

she came up with an idea.

Amanda stood stiffly, her heart tightening in her chest. "Do you remember what you once told me?" she asked wearily.

"What?" He raised his eyebrows.

Her cheeks colored tomato red as she stuttered out the next words. "Didn't you say that you'd be responsible for that night?"

Danny smirked, finally understanding what she wanted to say. "I've actually forgotten about it. Do you?" he said snidely.

In reality, he remembered it very well.

Amanda avoided his gaze. "It was my first time," she choked out. "I hope you can give me some compensation."

Shame welled up in her chest. It was as if she had just thrown her dignity into the dirt.

It was torture for her to imply that he needed to pay her.

Danny stared at her with interest.

In his mind, Amanda wasn't a shy woman. In fact, right now, she was already extorting him for cash!

It was undeniable that she was attracted to him and vice versa. From the two times that he had fucked her, he came out a satisfied man. That was the only advantage he saw with that arrangement.

He shrugged. "That transaction has already expired," he said lazily. "I won't pay for it."
