Chapter 12 Mrs. Ans Chip (2/2)

She said through the door, ”Darren, I have something to talk to you.”

No matter what she said, there was no sound in the room. Amanda tried to open the door but it was locked from inside. She got anxious and kicked the door as hard as she could. Then she complained, ”Wasn't it you who kicked the door just now. Why do you hide like a turtle now? Come out and compete with me if you can!”

”What's your competition?” Suddenly, a voice came from someone behind her. At that moment, Amanda got even more nervous and found that the lights in the corridor were apricot warm lamps. In the dim light, she screamed and stepped back. She stepped on Darren's foot, which hurt him. Darren was about to shook her off, but he hesitated for a moment and cursed, ”Damn it! What are you shouting for? I'm not a ghost.”

As soon as Amanda came to her senses, she took a few steps back, ”Aren't you in the study? Why are you behind me?”

Darren raised the glass in his hand and looked at her as if she was an idiot, ”There's no water in the study.”

Suddenly, he reached his hand to the little button of the study. After finger print, he unlocked the door and pushed the door open. Amanda followed him and entered.

Then Darren turned around, sat on the leather chair, looked at Amanda and asked, ”What's the matter?”

”I have to tell you, it was not me who pushed Rose, you can't frame a good person.” In the final analysis, the whole thing was because of the fall of Rose. Amanda was set up by Rose. In order to protect Rose, Darren had to withdraw his investment on Cheng family because of that. Amanda's uncle had threatened her to yield to Darren with the safety of Sheryl. Amanda had no choice but to tell Darren about it from the very beginning.

”You said, it was her who framed you. Do you have any evidence?” Darren asked indifferently.

”There should be CCTV in the room.” Amanda added.

”The daily monitoring and maintenance report of our company is posted in the tea room.” There was a flicker of contempt in Darren's eyes. ”Do you have anything else to explain? If that's all, I'm busy. Get out.”

Tossing her eyes away, Amanda said, ”I know you don't believe it. Rose has a good relationship with you. Of course you believe her.”

”Get out.” Said Darren flatly while turning on the computer.

”You withdrew your investment on Cheng family was just to force me to compromise, didn't you? Now I come to you. We can negotiate on whatever terms you want. Let go the Cheng family.” Amanda proposed readily.

Darren's hand paused. He raised his head slightly to look under the light near the computer. There was a hint of playfulness in his smile, ”Well, what can you offer then?”

”I don't know. Comparing to you, I have nothing to offer.” Lowering her head, Amanda added, ”I can't be free myself.”

”That's right. You have nothing. How can you negotiate with me?” Darren said coldly, ”And you'd better make it clear, Amanda. I don't want to negotiate with you, and I don't care about your compromise. I just want to use the fact to prove that both your life and Cheng family's lives are under my control.”

”I don't need a proof. I always know it.” Biting her lips, Amanda hesitated for a while. Then she said in a low voice, ”Then, Mr. Darren, I apologize? Don't withdraw the investment.”

Darren looked at her and smiled, ”Why should I?”

”My request is not to withdraw capital. As for why, I don't have anything to reply on. I can only propose this request to you. This is the most urgent request I have. As long as you ask, I will do it.” Amanda said.

”If so, Mrs. An, we can have a rest now.” While his fingers were slowly tapping on the smooth table, Darren was staring at Amanda, with his sharp black eyes.
