Chapter 60
After all, she borrowed money from those people - how could Susan just run away?
She should pay back exactly what she owed. Since I accidentally let slip about Susan's current financial situation, these creditors showing up again should be enough to put some serious pressure on her.
When I got home, I was in a great mood. As soon as I walked into my room, I found an extra person there. Michael had been waiting in the room - who knows for how long. When he saw me, his eyes lit up, and he moved closer to me without thinking, grabbing my hand.
The man had apparently just taken a shower, so he was wearing a bathrobe - a V-neck bathrobe that showed off the strong lines of his chest. I couldn't help but stare.
Michael seemed to notice me staring at his chest muscles. With a mischievous smile, he casually tugged at his belt, making the V-neck dip even lower.
The next moment, he guided my hand slowly inside, "Nancy, I'm very generous. If you like it, it's all yours."
The man in front of me was clearly up to no good. I went along with it, reaching in to feel those abs, one ridge after another. With a squeeze, I had this man right where I wanted him.
Michael sucked in a sharp breath and suddenly swept me up in his arms. As he laid me on the bed, his murmur reached my ears.
"Nancy, you're so irresistible!"
His hands kept moving over my body, igniting sparks of fire that seemed ready to consume us both completely.
But just at the last moment, Michael suddenly stopped.
That abrupt halt left my body extremely unsatisfied. I squirmed a few times under the covers, and I could clearly feel that the man sharing the bed with me had gotten even hotter.
"Can you bring it?" I whispered slowly in Michael's ear. But these provocative words didn't achieve their purpose. Michael pulled me into his embrace, as if trying to carve me into his very bones.
In my ear came Michael's warning voice, "Nancy, after we get married, I'll definitely show you whether I can or not!"
Thinking about his obviously hard-to-control cock down there, I suddenly regretted my earlier provocation.
If we actually had sex, I probably wouldn't be a match for him!
I coughed awkwardly and pushed Michael away. "Go back to your room! Go to sleep!"
Michael didn't want to leave and insisted on staying in the room. With no other choice, I made space for him.
But around ten that night, Susan called again. That death-knell-like ringtone annoyed Michael, but I answered and put it on speaker.
Susan's voice sounded more urgent than usual. "Nancy, you have to save me. All those creditors have come looking for me. They want me to give them the money right now, but where would I get that much money? You have a good relationship with them - please talk to them for me."
Susan was almost crying, but I remained unmoved.
"Susan, I already talked to them before, but they didn't take me seriously at all. It looks like... they don't care about doing me a favor. There's really nothing I can do." I said helplessly.
Susan didn't believe me.
The creditors must have been in the living room. She was probably hiding in the bathroom to make the call - her voice had a bit of an echo. She was desperate but had to keep her voice down.
"Nancy, is this... is all of this your scheme? Did you plan to trap me with all this debt?"
I raised my eyebrows slightly. Susan's brain was working pretty well - she'd figured out something was wrong so quickly and guessed most of it right.
But too bad - things had come to this point. Even if she realized it, it wouldn't do her any good.
Right now, I just acted like I'd been hurt. "Susan, how could you think that of me? I introduced you to that project out of the goodness of my heart. Didn't you make money before? It's just that problems came up later. You're blaming everything on me. I'm so disappointed in you!"
After saying that, I didn't wait for Susan to say anything else and hung up directly.
I could almost imagine just how awkward Susan must be facing those creditors.
But too bad - right now, no one could help her.
The moment I hung up, Michael grabbed my hand. The man's eyes showed hurt. "Nancy, you've never been this focused on me."
Hearing Michael say this, I looked at him with amusement. "I'm scheming against someone here. You don't want me to scheme against you too, do you?"
Michael's eyes rolled, and he actually said directly, "Of course, if you're willing, I'd be honored."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I looked up and shot him a glance, "Go to sleep. All the money you make is for me anyway. I can't scheme against you - I need to keep you happy."
These words clearly pleased Michael. He smiled, but his arms around me tightened even more.
After that, my phone rang several more times, but Michael wouldn't let me answer, no matter what. I could only give up helplessly.
The next morning, Susan had called over twenty times, but unfortunately, none of them got through.
I went to work as usual. After work, a colleague asked me out, and I agreed right away. Going straight home after work every day wasn't that fun - might as well go out and relax a bit.
But I didn't expect that just going to the restroom, I'd run into John and Susan.
The two of them were pulling at each other outside the restroom. Susan kept trying to grab John's hand, but John kept shaking her off.
"John, can you really just watch me get into trouble?" Susan's eyes were full of grievance, and she even covered her belly.
"Even if you can watch me get into trouble, what about the baby? Can you really watch the baby get into trouble too?"
John's eyes flashed with impatience again. "What do you want me to do? Ten million dollars - where am I supposed to get that much money?"
"This is something you did yourself. You want me to take responsibility for it?"
John clearly didn't want to get involved, but if Susan didn't ask John for help, she probably couldn't find anyone else.
Seeing John refuse again and again, Susan finally went all in and brought up my name.
"This whole thing was Nancy's scheme against me, but I can't find proof. You help me, and I'll help you get back together with Nancy!"
Hearing this, John finally became interested.
The two of them looked at each other and actually started discussing their plan against me right there in public.
Listening to their heated discussion, I couldn't help but sneer.
Great, it was pretty much the same as in my past life.
But too bad - this time I wouldn't give them the chance.
A day later, I went to a party, and John and Susan were both there too.
John sat down next to me with a sly expression on his face. "Nancy, we finally meet again."
