Still Your Dog? No, I'm Gone novel Chapter 17

I glanced at Kieran and asked, “What exactly do you mean by this, Mr. Zane?”

Kieran smiled. “There’s never been a feud between us, Max. There’s no need for us to be at

odds.

“If you help me, this 200 thousand dollars is yours. Plus, I can make sure Camille stops giving you a hard time.”

I chuckled. Was this his way of buying me off?

“And what exactly do you need me to do?” I asked and was genuinely curious what nonsense he could come up with.

“I want to marry Camille!”

As soon as he said that, I almost burst out laughing. He’d failed to secure a scam contract, and now, he was setting his eyes on a matrilocal marriage. His schemes were so wild and obvious!

But honestly, I couldn’t care less about Camille. I’d be free in 18 days, and she’d have absolutely nothing to do with me.

“So, what do you say, Max? Will you help me?”

Kieran was certain I wouldn’t say no, but I shook my head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Zane. I can’t help you with that.”

Setting aside the fact that I didn’t want to have anything to do with Camille anymore, I couldn’t agree to that request as the company director either.

The Zanes were teetering on bankruptcy, so what made them think they were worthy of marrying the Laytons?

It was clearly and pathetically just about money.

“Max, the rumors can’t be true, right? Are you obsessed with Camille?” Kieran frowned as he stared at me.

I was at a loss for a response and could only say, “I don’t interfere in the Layton family’s private affairs. As the company director, I am just here to handle business operations. Anyone beyond that scope is out of my hands.”

I turned him down without hesitation in the most official tone possible.

“You’d better watch out, Max. You’re gon have to face the consequences now that you’ve gone against me,” Kieran snarled. His mask dropped the second I rejected him and revealed his true colors.

I gave a dismissive laugh and replied, “Maybe you should worry about yourself, Mr. Zane. Ms.

Layton’s men never last for more than three months, and I’m always the one cleaning up mess. I sincerely hope you’ll last longer.”

Well, it had to be at least 18 days. Otherwise, I’d Have to deal with the Zane family’s mess, and I wasn’t really in the mood for that.

“You” Kieran seethed, but he knew I was right. Camille was notorious for quickly getting sick of men. Kieran was aware. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be here trying to get my help to marry

her.

After I saw Kieran off, I barely had a moment to breathe before Camille called. “Get your ass back here! I have a party to attend!”

I had no choice but to rush back and drive her to the venue.

Once we arrived at the club, she coldly ordered, “You’re coming in with me.”

From the familiar sneer on her lips, I knew that she was switching up the way she planned to torment me again tonight.

Honestly, I had no idea what was going through her head. There were so many things going on at the office, but torturing and getting me to suffer was her priority. That was plain stupid.

Soon, we made our way into the club, which was buzzing with laughter and chatter. Men and women mingled about.
