Chapter 868 Same Interests

"What do you mean by easy money? He's a serious worker in finance, all right? How could you belittle his line of work?"

Monica found Donald unpleasant. To her, he looked like a nouveau riche who only cared about money.

As the Nixon family had produced a long line of generals, Monica viewed those who let wealth get to their heads with disdain. Donald's showy display was the kind that she hated the most.

Meanwhile, Hannah was filled with despair. Donald has already done his best to put on an act. What else can I do? There's no way I can reveal his true identity.

She decided not to interfere and allowed Donald to act as he saw fit.

Little did she expect Donald to really get into character.

He moved closer to Alistair and started an awkward conversation.

"Bro, I have some spare cash on my hands. I'm sure someone who dabbles in finance like you must be in need of capital, isn't that right? Why don't I let you manage my money? All you need to do is give me a thirty-five percent return. How about that?"

Alistair replied in a polite yet firm tone, "Mr. Campbell, despite my years of experience in the finance industry, I have never heard of an investment that returns thirty-five percent. Please recommend them to me if you know of any."

"Sure. Looks like both of us share the same interests. I know an investor who told me that he could give me forty percent returns. Why don't we exchange contacts?"

Alistair's initial intention was sarcasm. He was surprised when Donald took him seriously.

Damn it. Is this guy an idiot? There's no such investment that can get a forty percent annual return these days. Isn't it obvious he's being cheated?

However, since he had already said what he said, it would be rude not to exchange contact information with Donald now.

He had no choice but to do so begrudgingly.

Upon hearing how far the two men's conversation had digressed, Monica cleared her throat in an effort to steer the conversation back to the main topic.

"Enough talk about investment. Today is the first day both of you meet each other. Ali, make sure you make a good impression on Hannah."

At Monica's cue, Alistair straightened his suit and extended his hand to Hannah in a chivalric manner.

"Ms. Nixon, your reputation precedes you."

From his smile and the way he stretched out his hand, he looked picture-perfect.

If only there were a spotlight shining on him, he would look like a male lead.

Unfortunately, Alistair's dashing looks were useless in the situation.

Donald popped his head in between the two and shook Alistair's hand on Hannah's behalf.

"Oh my, just as expected of someone who works in finance. That effeminate smile of yours just makes my hair stand on end."

Alistair's smile froze, but he didn't lose his temper.

Donald quickly clarified, "Don't get the wrong idea. This is a compliment. Nowadays, ladies like effeminate men. The more androgynous you are, the more they like you. Someone like you is very popular among women. Tell me, how many girls have you slept with?"

Pfft!

Hannah burst out in laughter from behind.

Worried that Hannah would get the wrong impression, Alistair frantically defended himself, "Ms. Nixon, don't listen to his nonsense. When I was studying overseas, I led a celibate life. I was focused on my career and had no time to involve myself with other women."

"Tsk, are you saying that you didn't sleep with other women simply because you were busy?"
