Chapter 1439 Pure And Innocent
Hearing that, Wilbur finally came to a realization. No wonder Maya’s acting so strange.
“Okay, Mr. Seet. I know what to do now.”
“All right. I’ll pick her up in half an hour. You guys can have a chat in the meantime.”
“Sure!”
After going back to the private room, Wilbur sat down in front of Maya and studied her carefully. She has a fair and exquisite face. Her features are so similar to her mother’s.
The more he examined Maya, the more he was mesmerized by her beauty. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.
Perceiving his gaze, Maya instantly put her guard up. Why does he look so lecherous? Could it be that he’s a pervert?
At that thought, she immediately straightened her posture. “I wonder when Uncle Davin is coming back. I should give him a call.”
“There’s no need for that. I contacted him just now, and he said he’ll be back in half an hour. Here, try this coconut juice. It’s very good and refreshing.”
Half an hour? I guess nothing will happen in such a short time, right? After all, Wilbur’s working together with Seet Group. He should know how powerful Seet Group is. I guess he won’t have the guts to do anything to me.
Maya calmed down after thinking that through. She picked up the glass of coconut juice, sipping from it slowly. Then, she put the glass back onto the table politely. “It’s good.”
“I heard that the business in your food plaza is flourishing. I’m thinking of visiting it soon. I wonder if I will get a discount?”
Maya sized Wilber up. He’s the scion of the Simpson family. Why should he care about that few hundred bucks? Wait a minute. Is he trying to build a rapport with me?
She shook her head instantly. “No. The discounts in my food plaza are only applicable for beautiful ladies, not for men!”
“Why? Is there any difference between men and women?”
“Of course there is! Although we promote gender equality in the current society, men have more career opportunities than women. According to the statistics, there are more rich men than women. So, I think that women need the benefits, but men do not!”
Her mindset is a little weird, but she’s not wrong. Wilbur continued asking, “Then, can your friends get any discounts?”
“Are we friends?” Maya asked innocently.
Wilbur smiled. “Do you want to be friends with me?”
Maya shook her head. “No!”
Wilbur frowned. “Why? Am I not worthy enough to be your friend?”
Maya thought for a second and shook her head. “Because I don’t want to be friends with men!”
Wilbur was surprised by her answer. He looked at her curiously and probed further, “What about a boyfriend? Your future boyfriend will also be a man.”
“I don’t need a boyfriend.”
Wilbur immediately recalled what his mother said last night. He finally understood why she would say that Maya was a pure and innocent woman. It seems like it’s not that easy to win her heart. However, I do like a challenge.
For example, a few days ago, the board members of Simpson Group said that he would never make Marston Group work with him. However, he refused to give up. After much perseverance and determination, he finally succeeded.
As for women, he had met a few socialites in the past. They had always tried everything they could to win his heart. However, he had never met a woman like Maya. He was more than eager to accept the challenge of becoming her boyfriend.
“Then, what if there’s a collaboration between us? Are you okay if your partner is a man?”
Maya mulled it over for a moment. There’s a difference between work partners and other personal relationships. I guess that should be fine since we’ll only talk about work.
She nodded hesitantly. Suddenly, she lifted her head as if she had recalled something. “I’m just accompanying my uncle here. I don’t know much about the projects, so you should discuss with him about that.”
“I’m not talking about the projects with Seet Group. I’m talking about a collaboration with your food plaza.”
