The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 896 Follow Me

"Are you really asking me for two bucks?" Brittany inquired.

"Actually, it could be more than that. If you'd like to give me ten bucks instead, I'd be thrilled!" Daniel replied with a mischievous grin.

With that, Daniel pulled out his phone, opened PayPal, and displayed the payment code to Brittany.

"Come on, Brittany! Pay up for my coffee-ten bucks straight!"

Brittany stared at him in disbelief. "Rural boy, are you serious? Are you really asking me for ten bucks?"

"If you think two bucks is too low, and you're willing to give me two hundred instead, I won't mind at all! Honestly, I'm all for getting more money. I'm not foolish; who wouldn't want more cash?" he teased, feeling cheeky.

Smack!

Brittany, annoyed, slapped Daniel's hand-causing him to drop the phone on the ground.

Luckily, Daniel had the latest iPhone, and while the floor was hard, the phone emerged unscathed.

"You're such an idiot! Just follow me!"

After knocking Daniel's phone from his grasp, Brittany didn't bother to apologize and instead took on a fierce demeanor.

"Follow you? Where are we going? You're not planning to sell me off, are you?" Daniel asked playfully.

"Sell you off? Beef can sell for

twenty bucks a pound. What do you

think you're worth? With your

annoying demeanor, you wouldn't

even fetch two bucks

pound! Not

even two bucks! Even if someone

paid to take you, they'd want money for the trouble!"

As she spoke, Daniel seized the moment and lingered in the doorway, hesitating.

Brittany's patience wore thin as she noticed he wasn't moving.

"Rural boy, what are you waiting for? Get a move on!" she urged.

"Brittany, just because you tell me to follow you doesn't mean I have to You haven't even said where we're going. If you don't clarify, I won't budge."

"Hey! You clueless rural boy, do you even know what you're doing? Are you coming with me or not? If you don'twant to, you might just regret it

Brittany intentionally refrained from disclosing her plan to take him to see Jessica, wanting it to catch him off guard.

After her declaration, she quickly stepped out of the office.

As expected, as soon as she exited, Daniel followed closely behind her.

Brittany, glancing back with a smile, teased, "Rural boy, I thought you didn't want to follow me. Why'd you come out then?"

"I'm not following you because of you, Brittany; I'm doing it for Jessica's sake. Plus, I want to hear what you're saying about me to her."

Daniel was smart enough to anticipate what Brittany was up to since he knew she intended to introduce him to Jessica.

He wasn't scared of facing Jessica-after all, she was his wife! What was there to fear? Even if she came off as a cougar, he wouldn't mind a bit.
