Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

1067 Asking For Money
Bhane, is your girlfriend here?”
So, you have a girlfriend? I guess I should keep my distance from you from now on!”
Lola and the other two women teased and complained simultaneously.
Haha... I’m still single! But being so charming can sometimes be a disadvantage. I have to reject women’s advances every day,
which can be quite annoying! Lily, Leah, Lola, don’t worry. I won’t start dating so soon in order to avoid hurting your feelings!”
After Shane reassured them, he confidently walked downstairs to see which woman was looking for him..
Since he became popular in the company, he had become a bit confused about his own appeal!
Little did he know that as soon as he stepped out, he was immediately reprimanded by someone. “You’re so slow, Fatso! I’ve
been waiting for you downstairs for ages!”
“Oh! It’s you, Marilyn! What brings you here?”
He was taken aback. He hadn’t seen Marilyn for three days since he started working at the company because she didn’t live with
him.
“I’m out of money, so I came to ask you for some!” She boldly stretched out her hand toward him.
“But I haven’t received my salary yet!”
Shane was also in a dilemma. Even though he had good benefits in the company, he couldn’t get his salary in advance!
“I don’t care. You promised my sister to take care of me! If you can’t give me money, take me to Old Mr. Quillen’s house then!”
Marilyn was being unreasonable.
Shane was even more troubled. How could he know where Terence lived?
And why would he send Marilyn to that old man’s house?
“How about you come into the office with me first and I’ll think of a solution!”

Shane thought that he could either borrow money from his colleagues or ask the manager to advance his salary. After all, he was
a highly sought–after talent in the company! He should have some privileges.
“Hmph! You have an afternoon to figure it out! If you don’t have money to spend on me, I won’t bother with you anymore!”
Marilyn snorted coldly and walked into the company with him.
“Shane, who is she?”
“Yeah, the company doesn’t allow us to bring random people here!”
As Shane brought Marilyn into the office, Lola and the other female colleagues kindly reminded him.
“She’s my sister. There’s no one to take care of her at home, so I brought her to the office.”
As soon as Shane said this, his female colleagues felt a bit resentful. Marilyn was an adult, yet she still needed.her
She’s my sister. There’s no one to take care of her at home, so I brought her to the office.”
As soon as Shane sald this, his female colleagues felt a bit resentful. Marilyn was an adult, yet she still needed her brother to
take care of her!
However, they still smiled and greeted Marilyn politely.
Marilyn didn’t pay any attention to them. She only wanted to get money from Shane!
“By the way, why isn’t Ms. Pennington in the office today?” Shane suddenly asked.
He wanted to request an advance on his salary from Lauren Pennington, but since she wasn’t there, it was Impossible!
“Oh, you’re looking for Ms. Pennington? She has a management meeting this afternoon, chaired by Mr. Houghton.” Lola quickly
informed him.
“Well, that’s troublesome!”
Shane could only turn around to find Marilyn. He scratched his head and said, “Marilyn, just wait a moment. Without Ms.
Pennington here, I can’t ask her to advance my salary.”

Marilyn didn’t even look up at him and snorted coldly. “If you don’t give me the money this afternoon, I’ll go find Old Mr. Quillen
myself!”
Upon hearing this, he immediately became worried!
“You don’t have any money on you and you don’t even know where Old Mr. Quillen lives. How are you going to find
him?”
“You don’t need to worry about that! You can’t even take care of me. Am I supposed to starve to death if I don’t seek Old Mr.
Quillen?”
Although Marilyn’s words were harsh, Shane couldn’t come up with a response.
“All right. I will definitely find a way to get the money before the end of the workday! Don’t rush to leave. Just sit in our company
for a while!”
He was really worried that she would wander around aimlessly.
If it were a guy, he wouldn’t be as concerned, but she was a nineteen–year–old girl who was unfamiliar with the area. If she were
to get lost, what should he do?
There could be serious consequences if she was targeted by criminals. Such videos often circulate online.
“So, I have to sit here all afternoon? That’s so boring!”
Marilyn was playful by nature. It would be better to kill her with a sword than to make her sit obediently in the pantry all afternoon!
