Chapter 380 +25 Bonus " I've never been the one getting the short end , and I sure as hell ain't gonna start now ! " Kyle shouted , his voice echoing with defiance . For the first time that night , he felt like he'd reclaimed a shred of his pride . Still , he gnashed his teeth . He had been so close to having that beautiful prey all to himself . I helped Astrid sit down , easing her into a chair while Tom ordered her an isotonic drink . As we waited for her to sober up , we started to chat . " Your bar's not small at all , Tom . Why do you still want to intern at my company ? " I asked .

The kid seemed well - off enough to never have to worry about money . " Because I've heard a lot about you , Mr. Grimwald ! You're a certified badass ! " he said eagerly . " Besides , my parents don't want me inheriting this place without earning it . They want me to learn how to run a business properly . " Admiration lit up his eyes . " I think Sleeping Giant is the best place for me to do that ! " I smiled . " I like your drive . As its boss , I can tell you Sleeping Giant will grow into something greater than you can imagine . Work hard with us , and you won't regret it .

" Thank you for helping me . I didn't expect you to step in after how I acted earlier , " she said softly . " You called me . How could I say no ? " I raised an eyebrow . " Want me to drive you home ? " " No , it's fine . I called my best friend too . She just got here and is waiting at the gate . " She shook her head and stood , heading toward the door . I didn't stop her .

I'll treat you to a meal for it ! " I couldn't help but smile . She looked both nervous and thrilled . Finally , I nodded . She left , clearly pleased . Astrid's best friend rushed up to steady her . " What happened to you , girl ? Did someone mess with you ? " she asked , her eyes betraing her concern , Astrid shook her head . " Almost . But someone saved me . I'm fine now .

It's not like that , okay ? I just met him at the university . He's the boss of a huge company . He was here recruiting . We're from completely different worlds , Cici . " P ADMINJ
