NovelUSAChapter 483 Citrine's gaze was sharp with warning, and Danny Fuller immediately clamped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.
Carney glanced toward Citrine, lips pressed together, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. But beneath the surface, what he felt most was fear.
After all, this was President Carmichael of CICI Group. What he'd just done had been far too bold-borderline disrespectful.
At that moment, Sebastian's stare was fixed on Citrine and the man sitting beside her. He seemed to forget entirely why he'd come.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What are you doing?" His voice shook, eyes red as he looked at Citrine.
"Isn't it obvious? We're discussing business." Citrine looked down at Sebastian from her seat, her tone cool and unbothered, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
What kind of business required two people to sit so close, holding hands? Sebastian's fists clenched at his sides, his lips trembling, but he had no right to question her-no standing at all.
He glared at Carney as if he could burn a hole straight through him.
Carney soon felt the icy hostility in the air.
The temperature in the suite seemed to drop by several degrees.
Afraid the tension would ruin today's negotiation, Danny Fuller was the first to break the silence. He shot Sebastian a cold glare and said sharply, "You need to leave. We're in the middle of a meeting." Sebastian didn't budge.
Danny Fuller's brow furrowed. He shot an anxious glance at Citrine. "President Carmichael, my apologies. I'll handle this right away." Without waiting for a reply, Danny Fuller grabbed Sebastian by the arm and dragged him out of the suite.
Out in the hallway, Danny's face was grim, his tone impatient. "Do you have any idea how important this deal is to me? Are you here to sabotage it?" Sebastian's lips curled into a cold smile, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Sabotage? Mr. Fuller, if you don't paywhat you owe, I'll show you what real sabotage looks like." His words were edged with threat.
Danny let out a weary sigh. "I told you, the company's cash flow is tight right now.

Once back in the suite, Danny plastered on a bright smile and nodded apologetically at Citrine "Sorry about that, President Carmichael. Please forgive the interruption." He was about to return to his seat when Citrine suddenly spoke. "Why was he here to see you?" Everyone in the room froze, surprised she'd taken an interest in someone so seemingly insignificant.
Sensing her curiosity, Danny's spirits lifted. He gave a dismissive laugh.
blished? Hejust started his "That business-full of pride, no idea how the world works."
He continued, "His little start-up is lucky to even have a partnership with The Fuller Group. But instead of being grateful, he keeps pesteringabout payment. Doesn't know the first thing about business etiquette. He needs to be put in his pláce, honestly." Citrine's expression didn't change as she looked at Danny. "So, you haven't paid him." Danny looked smug. "Exactly. People like him need to learn their place. There's no way I'd pay him now." He didn't notice the look of disdain in Citrine's eyes-he only seemed more pleased with himself.
A few others in the room chimed in in agreement. "Mr. Fuller's right. That kid needs to learn a lesson."
"Yeah, a tiny company like his should be thrilled just to work with The Puller Group. He Shouldn't expect a dime." "Mr. Fuller has done him a huge favor, and the kid doesn't even realize it."
