He Scorned Me, Now I’m a CEO He Can’t Afford Chapter 15

He found a convincing reason for himself.

This wasn’t a surrender.

He just didn’t want to see a rare business opportunity go to waste.

No matter how talented Lena was, she couldn’t possibly see all the traps in the business world. Those slick Austin investors would lead her astray.

He, Wyatt, was offering her a lifeline.

A chance to bring her ideas to life on real Texas soil.

After all, wasn’t her greatest wish to run this land with him?

Clinging to that charitable thought, Wyatt managed to swallow his pride and send the first message.

He thought that since he had made the first move, Lena would at least respond.

He never expected it.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

The moment the screen lit up, his heart hammered.

Lena still hadn’t replied.

The feeling of losing control made him even more irritable, and it was mixed with a trace of panic he refused to acknowledge.

Just as the sky began to lighten, his phone finally rang.
