Desmond turned to look at me, smiling. Folding his arms together, his eyes were filled with amusement as he asked, “Do you want to work with Centrise Group? Fine. I’ll give you a chance!”
“Mr. Zenn, you” Camille immediately became anxious.
However, Desmond interrupted her and said, “Mr. Wexler, you’re quite a well–known man now. It’s only right that I show you some respect.
“It’s super easy for you to work with Centrise Group. All you need to do is get down on your knees and crawl between my legs. Once you do so, I’ll agree to collaborate with your company. What do you think?”
Desmond smiled as he looked at me.
Meanwhile, Camille finally understood Desmond’s plan and immediately smiled in return. ” That’s fine. If you get down on your knees and crawl past Mr. Zenn’s crotch, I’ll hand the
project over to you.”
I was no longer the man I was three years ago, now that the contract wasn’t restricting me.
Although there was nothing wrong with forgoing your dignity for the sake of earning some money, I doubt they were giving me such an offer out of the kindness of their hearts.
Even if I did as they instructed, I was sure that they would not give the project to me. They just
wanted to humiliate me!
Sneering, I said, “Mr. Zenn, do you really think that I’ll believe you?”
“Why won’t you believe me? I’ve always been a man of my word,” Desmond replied nonchalantly.
With a smile, I said, “Alright then! Let’s put our agreement in writing. If I really do as you say, the project will be mine. However, if you go back on your word, you’ll need to compensate me with ten billion dollars. Do you accept this?”
Desmond’s expression immediately fell when he heard my words. “Ten billion dollars? What makes you think you’re worth that much money?
“You see, I was right. You were just messing with me,” I said. Then, I glanced at him and continued, “Mr. Zenn, I appreciate your generosity, but I’ll pass on your offer.
“I’m here to discuss a partnership with Centrise Group. Mr. Zenn, why don’t you just hand the project over to me?”
Camille’s smile widened as she listened to my words. “Max, I’m beginning to think that you’ve lost your mind. Can’t you understand what’s going on? Why would Mr. Zenn hand the

project over to you?”
I shrugged and took out a contract. “That’s hard to say. Who knows? Maybe he might have had a change of heart.”
Desmond also smiled as he looked at me like I was an idiot. “Max, you must be fucking stupid. Can’t you understand a single word I’m saying?
“Who do you think you are to try to discuss business with me? You have no right! Alright. I don’t have the patience to continue wasting my breath on you. Have someone throw him out!”
With a wave of his hand, Camille quickly called the security guards.
“Mr. Zenn, I’m giving you a chance and a way out of this mess now. Otherwise, it’s going to be really embarrassing for you when you ask me to collaborate with you in front of all these people.”
Desmond was immediately angered by my words. “Fuck you! Why would I ever ask you to collaborate with me? I’ll say this now, but if I ever take the initiative to ask you to work with me, I’ll eat my own shit.”
I burst out laughing and said, “Mr. Zenn, you shouldn’t make such bold claims so easily! What if it really happens? I’d feel too bad to let you eat your own shit if things do come to such a point!”
