The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 782

"Heh!" Brittany retorted with a cold laugh. "Fortune teller? I think you're just a scam artist, you country bumpkin!"

"Who have I scammed?" Daniel shot back. "I haven't tricked you, have I?"

"If you dare to trick me, I'll beat you up!"

…

The two bickered back and forth without end. Meanwhile, Daniel didn't pick up Perry's calls. But Perry was persistent, redialing Daniel's number repeatedly.

"Country bumpkin, answer the call already! I want to see if you're full of it. And if you're wrong, you're treating me to dinner tonight. I want tomahawk steak from that place that costs three thousand bucks per person!" Brittany declared.

Her motives were clear: to get Daniel to splurge. She had been wanting to try that steakhouse for ages but couldn’t justify the expense on her secretary's salary. A three-thousand-dollar-per-person dinner was way too extravagant for her.

"If I’m right, then you’ll treat me?" Daniel countered.

"Shameless! Making a girl pay!"

"Stop bragging, country bumpkin. Lucky charm? More like a loser! If this Golden Light Hill project falls apart, TMO stands to lose billions. If I were Jessica, I'd fire you for that! But not before you treat me to that steak!"

Brittany ranted on, but Daniel ignored her. Perry had called multiple times, and it was getting rude not to pick up. He finally pressed the answer button. Since the phone was connected to the car's Bluetooth system, Perry's voice filled the vehicle.

"Daniel, why did it take you so long to answer?" Perry sounded impatient.

"Sorry, Perry, I was driving and didn’t hear it ring. Are you calling to confirm you’ll partner with TMO?"
