Businesswoman Chapter 270

Deposits in her account made Lisa smile. This accidental site proved to be a great way to be a boss. To command the small army of engineers and technicians, she felt a sense of pride. Yes, pride. One of the “Deadly Sins.” The kind that gets you poked by the pitchfork of the Devil.

In the space of just a few months, she had blazed a trail of ingenuity. Now, she didn’t seem so sure. Profits had risen. Wasted time had been shaved. Lisa, though, still felt the sting of loneliness. Until she got a message.

His CV looked outstanding. Two degrees, one in business administration the other in mathematics. And according to his profile he fit the 666 designation: he had six pack abs, six figure income, and stood at six foot even.

She was smitten. They engaged in a video chat.

“Hello, Businessgirl,” Saint Hastings smiled.

She kind of wished he had called her Lisa.

“You can call me by my name,” she replied.

“Okay, as you can see I’m Saint. I’ve been following your career.”

She felt another stab. She wanted him to say she’s a radiant queen to be fawned over.

“Is that right?” she asked. Her eyes almost rolled but she remembered the cameras captured everything.

“I actually was thinking about what our first date would look like,” Hastings ventured.

An eyebrow rose like an ascending escalator on Lisa’s face.

“Oh?”

“Yes. We will go to the Mercier Hotel and dine on brunch,” he suggested. “After that we can get a suite and pop something,” he added.

Her face looked like crumpled paper.“I was with you at brunch, but I don’t know about the suite.”

“C’mon. We’re grownups aren’t we?”

“I seem to be the only adult. Bye.” She logged off from the video chat.
