Go ahead , Nyla .

You can speak freely with me .

Andrew , youre despicable , Francesca spat .

Confused , Andrew asked , What did I do ? Francesca sneered , What did you do ? In broad daylight , in your office , youre having a nurse perform indecent acts .

Youre nothing but a sleaze , and Im going to make sure Lauren +26 BONUS knows exactly what kind of man you are .

As Francesca stormed off , Andrew was left bewildered by her intense reaction .

Looking down , he realized the awkward position Nyla had landed in , her face uncomfortably close to his lap .

Um … Even with his quick thinking , Andrew could not find the right words to say .

Before he could react , the office door burst open and a crowd of curious colleagues poured in .

They were there to submit their proposal for the orphanage property .

Shawn boasted confidently , Christie , dont worry .

With Stevens Corporations reputation and the Fields familys backing , Marvins bound to choose us for the development project .

Christina remained cautious .

Lets not get ahead of ourselves .

Marvin is cunning , so we need to tread carefully .

Shawn grinned , See , Christie ? Good news already .

However , his smile quickly faded as the employee spoke .

Im sorry , Ms.

Stevens .

Your companys proposal doesnt meet our requirements .

Christina felt a sinking feeling in her stomach .

Yates directly .

Wealthroller Investments is too big for us to take on right now .

Lets go .

Well have to give up on that property .

Unwilling to admit defeat , Shawn bragged , Hold on , Christie .

Im not useless like Andrew .

I promised to help you get that land , and I will .

Ill have my dad call Marvin right now .

Christina looked skeptical .

Can your dad really influence him ? Shawn puffed up his chest .

Marvin might be a big shot in Jayrodale , but he still respects the Fields family .

He immediately dialed his fathers number .

Hey , Dad .

I need you to call Marvin , you know , Jayrodales richest guy , and ask him for a favor , Shawn said confidently .

Tony Fields , Shawns father , could not believe his ears .

What did you just say ? Repeat that .

Shawn obliged , repeating his request , I need you to call Marvin and ask him for a favor .

Are you out of your damn mind ? You want me to ask the richest man in town for a favor ? Were not even among the top ten families of Jayrodale ! Besides , I dont have his number , you idiot ! With that , Tony hung up , clearly furious .
