Chapter 94 Joking? I took it seriously
When Miranda spoke, Theo and Natalia looked unimpressed.
Theo sneered, “Lachlan, did you tell her that you bought this factory back again? That’s not very ethical of you. You’ll do anything to deceive a girl!”
“Everyone knows that you’re broke. Your wife divorced you and ran off with another man. How can a poor guy like you buy the factory back?” Natalia added teasingly.
Miranda furrowed her brows and turned to Lachlan, asking, “Who are they?”
Lachlan had never mentioned his former friends or employees to her before.
“Just a couple of scums,” he replied dismissively. He didn’t feel like introducing Theo and Natalia.
But as he stared coldly at Theo with his starry eyes, he said in a low voice, “Theo, have you hooked up with Natalia? Can you justify it to your wife who gave birth to your two daughters?”
Although Theo was already married and had two daughters with his wife, it was clear that he had been involved with Natalia.
“The hell are you talking about? Natalia and I are just colleagues! Who do think you are accusing me like this?” Theo retorted angrily but also looking embarrassed at the same time.
Then he put on a fake smile again and turned towards Miranda saying, “Hi beautiful lady! Let me introduce myself – I’m Theo – the owner of this factory earning more than $5k per month. Don’t listen to this poor guy here who is just making things up.”
The way Miranda carried herself made her look stunning in every aspect which made Theo’s heart flutter in excitement.
“If he could get my hands on such a beauty, I would be willing to live ten years less,” he thought.
He saw that Lachlan was able to “trick” Miranda into liking him, thinking that she was just a naive fool.
If Lachlan didn’t introduce him, then he would introduce himself. He made sure to emphasize that he was the factory owner here and proud of his income.
When Natalia saw Theo flirting with Miranda, she had a hint of annoyance on her face. “Theo, although this woman looks average at best, she fell for Lachlan’s poor act. She’s obviously just an ordinary girl. Do you really have feelings for someone like her? You said you were going to divorce your wife and marry me. With my position as accounting supervisor and all the extra money I make on the side, even as a woman I earn over 3k dollars per month! It’s your good fortune if you can marry me! Am I not better than an ordinary girl? Let me tell you something – don’t even think about anything else!”
Upon hearing this, Theo’s eyes flickered and he replied coldly, “What are you talking about? I’m just making friends.”
Miranda looked at this pair of men and women with disdain in her eyes. “You two don’t need to think too much about it anymore – starting tomorrow both of you will be kicked out from here!”
The beautiful CEO spoke coldly with authority.
Upon hearing this statement, Theo and Natalia were stunned for a moment before their faces showed traces of sneering laughter.
“What kind of joke are you playing?” asked Theo sarcastically.
Natalia sneered, “Get out of here? Who do you think you are, you loser?”
“Just because my husband bought this place and gave it to me. From now on, I’m in charge! You all will be fired!” Miranda said as she grabbed Lachlan’s arm.
“Haha… hahaha… you’re so funny! You really believe what Lachlan told you?” Theo burst into laughter as if he had heard the world’s biggest joke.
Natalia also pointed at Lachlan with a mocking expression and exaggeratedly covered her stomach. “You’re killing me! Just because of him, he bought this place and gave it to you? If he could buy this place, I would crawl into the factory on my knees every day for work. Hahaha…”
“You won’t have a chance to crawl in there,” Lachlan said coldly.
“Oh, still pretending?” Theo joked.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
But just then, a Mercedes C-Class quickly pulled up and stopped next to them. The next second, a middle-aged man with an honest face and slightly chubby body got out of the car.
“Mr. Willis, sorry for keeping you waiting!” After getting out of the car, Oscar politely handed a cigarette to Lachlan and said, “Thanks for inviting me over.”
Lachlan waved his hand. “You got here pretty fast, Oscar.”
“Haha… as soon as you called, I rushed over from home!” Oscar laughed.
The next second, he seemed to finally notice Theo and Natalia standing next to him.
“Theo and Natalia, you guys are here too? Catching up with Mr. Willis? Do you also know that Mr. Willis is taking back control of this place? Haha…”
At that moment, Theo and Natalia’s expressions froze completely. Their faces changed rapidly.
“B-boss… what did you say?” Theo stammered in shock.
“Oh don’t call me boss anymore. I’m not your boss anymore. Mr. Willis spent 1 million buying back the factory. The price was too good for me to refuse!” Oscar joked with a smile on his face.
He had bought it for 100k initially but now sold it for 1 million after making a profit during this time period – he made more than 900k dollars in total!
Hearing this news caused Theo’s face to twitch several times while looking at Lachlan with shocked and panicked eyes.
“How… how is that possible? Lachlan is already broke, where did he get 1 million to buy a factory? Boss, don’t let him fool you! He’s good at deceiving people now!” Natalia’s face turned pale as she exclaimed in disbelief.
“How could he deceive me? He has already transferred the 500k dollars deposit to me! This place originally belonged to Mr. Willis, and he can definitely run the factory better after taking over. You guys are Mr. Willis’s old friends and subordinates, so just follow Mr. Willis and work hard. As the factory grows, your benefits will definitely improve too!” Oscar smiled.
With that said, he gestured towards Lachlan, “Mr. Willis, please! I have brought all the necessary documents with me. Let’s go inside and finalize everything.”
“Okay!” Lachlan nodded without even glancing at Theo and Natalia before leading Miranda towards the factory.
At this moment, Theo and Natalia exchanged a glance filled with fear and despair.
The more successful the factory became, their benefits will also increase?
They probably won’t have a chance anymore!
“Crazy man, Lachlan!”
“Just wait for a moment! Listen to me!”
The next second, Theo shuddered as he rushed over to grab hold of Lachlan.
Lachlan looked at him expressionlessly, “What do you want to say?”
“Lachlan, I’m sorry! I was just joking with you earlier, don’t take it seriously. We used to joke about everything, you… you can still take a joke right? I’ll work hard with you from now on, let’s make our business successful!” Theo forced a fake smile on his face and spoke in a joking tone.
But even after the words fell, Lachlan’s face remained expressionless.
“Sorry, I took it seriously.”
