Before Sheldon could answer Jocelyn, the door to Sheldon's office rattled from rapid and hard knocking.
“Who's that?” Sheldon asked.
“It's me!” a lady replied from the other side of the door.
“Oh, it's our financial controller, Ms. Perry. I think she has the answer to your question!” Sheldon said. “Come in.”
Anne Perry was panting heavily when she entered, and she was in a fluster as she yelped, “Mr. Guerrero, shocking
news! Shocking...”
“Stop making such a big fuss and calm down! You are referring to the funds that just came in, aren't you?” Sheldon
appeared to be nonchalant.
Anne nodded profusely and said, “That's right, Mr. Guerrero! Do you know how much came in?”
Sheldon looked toward Jocelyn and said, “Why don't you make a guess, Jocelyn?”
He gave her a hint by showing her three fingers.
Jocelyn thought for a while, then hazarded a guess, “Three million?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheldon shook his head.
“Don't tell me it's thirty million!”
Sheldon shook his head again. “No. Make another guess. The amount is higher!”
“Three hundred million? Oh my gosh! It can't be three hundred million, can it?” Jocelyn covered her mouth with her
palms and let out a small gasp.
“No, no. Higher!” Sheldon continued shaking his head.
What?
Jocelyn's eyes popped wide open as she muttered, “Not three hundred million? So it's three billion?”
Sheldon gave her a disappointed look and bemoaned, “Oh, Jocelyn, you lack ambition! How are you going to shine
in our company?”
Then he turned to Anne and said, “Ms. Perry, why don't you tell Jocelyn how much the other party transferred?”
Anne looked Jocelyn straight in the eyes and said, “Three hundred billion. It's three hundred billion!”
“Three hundred billion... Three hundred billion...” Jocelyn muttered softly in disbelief. Suddenly, she shouted, “Three
hundred billion? Are you sure it's not thirty million, Ms. Perry?”
“What a joke! I'm a professional in the finance industry, so I'm pretty good with figures. How can I make such a silly
mistake?” Anne retorted.
Jocelyn was still in shock at the figure of three hundred billion, and she mumbled in a trembling voice, “I think the
notes can fill this entire building... Even if I don't spend a single cent, it will still take me multiple lifetimes to earn
this! No, I won't be able to accumulate such wealth in a hundred lifetimes! H-How did you get so much money, Mr.
Guerrero?”
Sheldon laughed and boasted, “Much? It's nothing to me! I guess the cat is out of the bag, so I shall be honest with
you. I'm from a royal family, and I'm the heir to the world's biggest conglomerate! I came to Eurasia to gain some
experience and put myself to the test. Intercontinental Group is the fruit of my labor!”
Oh my gosh!
Jocelyn's jaw dropped, and her eyes were filled with idolization and shock when she stared at Sheldon. “I thought
that only happens in dramas and not in real life! You are amazing, Mr. Guerrero! Oh, no! Should I be addressing you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas Your Highness?”
“That's a secret, so keep it to yourself, okay?” Sheldon said, pleased with that reverent look in Jocelyn's eyes.
“Yes, understood!” Jocelyn nodded profusely.
Sheldon turned to Anne and said, “All right, you can go now. Settle the outstanding salary for the staff first.”
Then he said to Jocelyn, “You stay behind, Jocelyn. I have something to discuss with you.”
Anne nodded and said, “Yes, Sir!”
She retreated quietly, and once she was out of Sheldon's office, she burst out laughing
“I really have to salute these idiotic fresh graduates! How can she believe that preposterous lie?” Anne sighed.
“Soon, there'll be one less innocent girl in the world!”
It didn't take much brain power for her to see why Sheldon made Jocelyn stay back in his office. It was pretty
obvious he wanted to make use of her newfound admiration for him to win her over and bed her.
