Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 929 Despicable

"What has love got to do with age?" Amanda snapped back and became very insistent, "Mr. James, I will sue you for harassment if you don't release me!" Stanford laughed and said softly, "You look so much like her when you're agitated."

Amanda retorted, "Mr. James, you act like a gentleman but you are nothing but a scoundrel!"

Stanford placed his lips even closer to her ears and gently touched her ear. Amanda glared her eyes wide open and goosebumps broke out all over her.

He gently said suggestively, "Ms. Flores, there are always sacrifices when you want to attain your objectives. If you're willing to become my girlfriend, then I'll give you anything you want on a silver platter." Amanda rejected immediately, "I will never betray my boyfriend!"

"I don't believe!" He then released Amanda. He was certain that she would look for him on her own.

Amanda glared at him angrily, "Despicable!"

"I won't deny if you think of me that way." Stanford sat on the sofa and poured a glass of Scotch.

He took a sip, placed the glass down, and said, "I look forward to Ms. Flores' new business proposal."

Amanda clenched her fists and said coldly, "I will have something that will satisfy you!"

After that, she exited the cabin and stepped down from the platform, and saw Gerben standing below the street lamp and leaning against it while waiting for her.

"Didn't I ask you to leave? Why are you still here?" Amanda frowned.

"It's my responsibility to protect you. I can't leave even if you dismissed me. Come, I'll take you back to the hotel." Gerben unlocked the car with his key fob and walked towards the car to open the door. Amanda entered the car and suddenly realized that she was supposed to arrange for a meeting between Abbott and Casimir. She asked, "What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock," Gerben answered as he started the car. He almost went to look for Amanda if she still had not exited the yacht.

"Nine?!" Amanda quickly took out her cellphone. She had agreed to invite Abbott for dinner. Now, Casimir must be upset with her.

"Are you calling Mr. Baron?" Gerben looked at her via the rearview mirror, "if so, then I'll inform you that Mr. Baron had left. He tried to call you but couldn't reach you so he wanted me to tell you." "What? Left?" She removed her cellphone and noticed that it could not be turned on perhaps the battery was flat. No wonder she did not receive a call from Casimir.

She had agreed to let Casimir meet Abbott but stood them up. Now Abbott must be very upset that he could not contact Amanda. Amanda then told Gerben Casimir's address. She had to go to see Casimir

now.

When they arrived, they could not replace him at his home. Furthermore, the company had closed for the day and there were no other workers there except for the security guards.

"Why don't you explain to him tomorrow?" Gerben said.

There was nothing more that Amanda could do other than to return to the hotel, charge up her phone, and then give him a call.

Once the car arrived at the hotel, she exited the car and saw Casimir looking gloomy as he sat next to the fountain. She quickly walked over.

"Casimir."

Casimir raised his head and stood up in surprise. Then his joy turned into anger, "Amanda, what's the meaning of this? You agreed to set up a meeting with Abbott. I started to prepare myself this afternoon, worrying about what to wear and what I should speak to him about. I was very nervous and worried but I still had to meet him to say something. When it drew nearer to the evening, I tried in vain to contact you. You can let me know if you don't want me to meet him. Why do you lie to me repeatedly?"

He failed to contact her no matter how he tried. He was worried sick about whether she had met with some danger. Now that he saw that she was safe, he was upset that she did not take him seriously. She knew that person but did not tell him. However, he understood when she explained to him.

But what about now? Did she take his issue seriously?

"I truly regard you as a friend but you repeatedly lie to me."

"I'm sorry, I did not do it on purpose. Something came up which distracted me." This was caused by her, "Casimir, I'm really sorry."

Since she had apologized, Casimir could not continue to blame her, but he remained upset with the matter. He just felt that she did not place any importance on him.

"I'll let you have a chance to redeem yourself. I want to meet him tomorrow afternoon."

"Casimir..." Amanda was really apologetic and said, "He had left. You definitely won't be able to see him tomorrow..."

"Amanda!" Now Casimir was really upset, "Are you taking me as a fool?"

"No, no." Amanda held onto his hand and explained, "I did not do it on purpose. Stanford made things difficult for me which caused my delay."

Casimir looked at her and asked, "What did Stanford do?"

"He picked problems with the business plan," Amanda replied.

Casimir frowned, "Isn't that business plan close to perfect?" He knew about the importance of the plan and knew that Amanda was setting Stanford up.

"Did he suspect anything?" Casimir asked.

Amanda could not tell and what happened that night was unusual but she was unable to put a finger on it.

She shook her head, "I don't know what's going on with him."

"He's devious and who knows that he is scheming now." Casimir understood Stanford. The industry commented that Stanford was sinister and vicious. He could rise to this position all due to his abilities. "Let's go up." Amanda was very unsettled by what happened tonight. Casimir followed her up.

Once in the room, Amanda sat on the sofa and felt very depressed and frustrated. Everything would be lost if Stanford realized that it was a trap.

She did not want to depend on her parents but everything she did failed.

Casimir was upset with her but now started to comfort her, "He would have stopped any cooperation with you if he had detected anything. He would not pick problems with your plan. Perhaps there were some details that we missed. We'll start over again."

Amanda rested her head on Casimir's shoulder and said, "Casimir, do you know how much I hate him?"

Casimir's body stiffened up and then turned to look at her. He could feel her aura at that close distance. He wanted to place his arm around her shoulder but after a while, he decided not to.

"I will help you. Just let me know whatever you need from me."

"Why are you so nice to me. I never helped you at all." Amanda looked at him and continued, "Casimir, I will definitely arrange for you to meet Abbott."

"Sigh." Casimir sighed, "Forget it. Perhaps it's not time yet. I don't blame you. Also..."

He looked down and then controlled his mood, "We are friends, of course, I will be nice to you."
