Chapter 143
“A billion…”
Sonia knew exactly why Luna was shocked. She smiled and added, “I just want the shares, not the equity.”
Luna was stunned. Without equity, Sonia would have no power on the board and be unable to participate in making important decisions. As stated, she would only get bonus shares from the company profit, which was incredibly lenient toward Luna’s situation.
“Ms. Timberland. I…” Luna was flattered and flabbergasted. She could not believe Sonia at first. “Are you serious?”
Sonia smiled. “Of course, I am serious. I even brought the contract.”
She texted her secretary who shortly came in with a document for Luna.
Luna had a look at the contract which was as Sonia said.
“Ms. Crestfall, if there’s no problem, please sign it.”
Sonia was here to repay Andrius, so there was no reason for her to tinker with the
contract.
“Okay! Right away!”
Luna immediately signed the contract.
“And…” Sonia took the signed contract and gave it to her secretary. “A few days later, I will be having a birthday party. I hope you can attend the party with Mr. Moonshade, Ms. Crestfall.”
“Of course, I’ll definitely be there.”
The birthday party of the granddaughter of the Timberlands was an event that many would kill to attend. There was no way Luna would reject the invitation.
Sonia left the office with a satisfied smile.
It still felt surreal for Luna even after sending Sonia off.
It was like a free lunch that fell from the sky!
With a billion–dollar investment, every one of her problems was solved. The company was back on track.
After work, Luna asked Halle out for a drink at a nearby bar.
“Halle, you have no idea what just happened…”
Luna had a few glasses before she blurted everything out.
“This morning, several bank directors came to my office and demanded that we repay the loan immediately. All the shareholders threatened to leave, and guess what happened?” Luna widened her beautiful eyes at Halle.
Halle pondered. Was Andrius involved?
However, she did not speak her mind but asked instead, “What happened?”
“It’s…” Luna had another glass and said, “Sonia Timberland came to my office and wanted to invest a billion! More importantly, she only wants shares, not equity! Crazy, right? I wonder what she’s after.”
What Sonia was after?
‘She is probably after your husband,‘ Halle thought.
Other than Andrius, Halle could not think of a reasonable explanation. Halle was after Luna’s husband as well, but since they were friends for so many years, it would be
strange to go after him at this particular time.
Therefore, she cleared her throat and hinted, “Luna, have you ever thought that all these are happening because of someone around you?”
“Around me?” Luna pondered. “Halle, don’t tell me you are referring to Andrius again. No way! How could it be him? It’s impossible!”
Halle noticed Luna’s foolish persistence, which made her decide to go after Andrius openly. If she continued to stay passive, Sonia might intervene and snatch Andrius
away.
“Alright, alright. It’s not him.” Halle raised her glass and proposed a toast to Luna. Their glasses clinked and she said, “Luna, congratulations on signing a big deal!”
“Cheers!”
The ladies drank happily.
Luna passed out after a few more glasses, and Halle had to send her back to Dream’s Waterfront.
Andrius remembered what Luna said in the morning, so he had one beer less with Noir and decided to go back to Dream’s Waterfront.
To his surprise, it was Luna who was not around, so he was forced to go back to Royal Garden to spend the night.
The next morning, Andrius was woken up by hurried knocks on his gate and Halle’s
voice.
“Andrius, wake up! Something has happened!”
