Chapter 57


    Samantha was shocked at how direct Adrian was at rejecting Mandy’s offer.


    However, Mandy smiled before Samantha could admonish Adrian and said, “Another day then. Let me


    see you out, Mr. Adrian, Sam.”


    Hence, Samantha had no choice but to keep her thoughts to herself.


    Samantha felt dazed after leaving Swallowston Bank, thinking everything that happened was just a


    dream.


    ‘Mandy’s gave me a loan of a few million dors without even asking me to sign an agreement. With


    that money, I’ll be able to recruit as many people as I want to build up the marketing department, settle


    down in Swallow Central, and secure a brighter future for Bar. This is great!”


    This was the best news Samantha had received over the past few days. As she drove back to Bar,


    Adrian leaned back in the passenger seat to rest.


    “Why did you behave so rudely toward Mandy back there?‘ she asked, “What if she decided to not give


    me the loan because of that?”


    Samantha scowled. ‘I can forget about the fact that youid down on Mandy’s sofa while we were in


    her office, but you made it seem like you were ordering her around when she asked whether we


    wanted tea or coffee. What’s worse, you even rejected


    her offer to take us out for a meal.‘


    Samantha was speechless as she thought about this.

    Adrian turned toward Samantha and smiled, “You’re overthinking it. Try looking for Mandy if you need


    her help in the future. If she refuses, I’ll admit that my actions were rude and uncalled for.”


    “What are you trying to say?” Samantha asked in confusion.


    ‘Is he trying to say he can take full advantage of Mandy without any repercussions whatsoever?‘ she


    wondered.


    “I’ve told you many times before. You can’t behave like that around people. Do you think Mandy would


    have treated us like she did back there if it wasn’t for your father? Or have you forgotten that she only


    did all that because she wanted to repay the kindness your father showed her while he was alive?”


    Rather than considering the situation further, Samantha thought that her remark was more than enough


    to state her point.


    ‘Mandy didn’t build up any reputation for herself back when Henry was alive, and she’s only just


    established Swallowston Bank. It’s all thanks to Henry that she’s where she is today.‘


    “Okay, okay. I get it,” Adrian hastily responded when he saw that Samantha was going to continue


    nagging him.


    Thankfully, this made Samatha stop.


    Shortly after the pair got back to Bar, Nina walked into Samantha’s office with a huge smile on her


    face. “Ms. Samantha, are you aware that Swallowston Bank just transferred four million and five


    hundred thousand dors into our ount?”


    “Really? That was quick.” Samantha seemed slightly taken aback.


    Unable to contain her excitement, she said, “Mandy Cole, the president of Swallowston Bank, gave me


    that loan. That amount is exactly what we need to survive.”


    “I’m sure it’ll be enough,” Nina said.


    “That’s good to hear.“Samantha stood up. “I want you to pick up the pace and begin settling in at


    Swallow Central. We’re going to recruit more people in preparation for this.”


    “Understood,” Nina responded.


    Samantha nodded and gestured for Nina to leave.


    Samantha put all her efforts into Bar’s matters.


    She went around Swallowston meeting customers to talk about potential businesses and getting settled


    in at Swallow Central. On top of that, Bar had been hiring a lot more people to erge its workforce.
