Chapter 567

Susan finally found Zeke in Lacey Hinton’s office.

He was sitting on the couch sipping coffee while his gaze was glued to Lacey who was immersed in work.

Susan was a bit jealous. She wished she had even one-third of the attention he poured on Lacey because that would be enough for her.

“Good morning, Ms. Hinton,” she greeted after pushing her emotions away.

Lacey raised her head and smiled at Susan. “Good morning, Susan. Didn’t I tell you to call me Lacey when there are no outsiders around?”

“Okay, Lacey.” Susan smiled.

“Ms. Hinton... Err, Lacey, there’s a cooperation partner asking to see Mr. Williams. I wonder if he has time for that?”

Zeke had asked her not to tell Lacey about the loan because he didn’t want her to worry about it.

Lacey glanced at Zeke and said, “This punk has nothing but time.”

“Zeke, stop sitting there lazing around lest you start to turn moldy. Go and meet with that cooperation partner.”

Zeke got up and placed his coffee on Lacey’s desk. “Hey, I make only eight thousand a month, but I do tens of billions of tasks. Lacey, not even Phillip Hill is as demanding as you.”

Lacey subconsciously took a sip of Zeke’s coffee. “Zeke, you’ve changed. You never had the heart to talk like this to me before. Now you’re complaining every day like a woman. Tsk. Men.”

Her words made him speechless. Sure enough, the saying was true. Never try to reason with a woman.

On the way, Susan informed him about the situation again.

Zeke only nodded indifferently without making any comments.

Susan was even more anxious now. I’m working my ass off here, and yet here you are, lazing around in your wife’s office...

She had no choice but to get straight to the point. “Mr. Williams, we owe the other party 2.5 billion now.

Are you ready to pay it back?”

Zeke shook his head.

“Then what are you planning to do?” she asked.

“Don’t worry. Somebody will help us to pay for it,” he answered.

“Huh? Who will be so generous to help us pay 2.5 billion?”

“You’ll see.” He pretended to be mysterious.

Soon, they arrived at Susan’s office.

Caleb automatically stood up upon their arrival. “Mr. Williams, we meet again.”

Zeke nodded politely before taking a seat. “Might I ask why are you here, Mr. Nolan?”

“You sure are a forgetful person, Mr. Williams.” Caleb laughed.

“You must’ve forgotten that you borrowed two billion from my bank. Now that the loan is due, I’m here to collect the money.”

Zeke frowned and acted to be muddled. “This soon?”

“Yes. Your loan is an S-class emergency loan. The time frame is only five days.”

Zeke acted to be even more worried. “I see. How much do we owe you?”

“2.5 billion,” Caleb replied.

Zeke inhaled deeply. “I don’t have that much.”

Caleb took a sip of tea. “Mr. Williams, do you plan to renege on the loan?”

“To be honest with you, since the opening of Chase Bank, no one has dared to renege on their loan.”

No living person dared to welsh on loan because those who did were all dead.

“Of course not.” Zeke faintly smiled. “Please wait for a moment. I’ll get the money right away.”

After that, he took out his phone to make a call.

A smirk appeared on Caleb’s face for he knew exactly who Zeke was calling.

He was a hundred percent sure that he was calling Jacob to get the money from Reagan Pharmaceutical.

But the latter had already laundered the two billion. It’d be a miracle if Zeke could get even a penny from him.

The call connected and Zeke heard Jacob’s voice from the other end.

“Mr. Williams, to what do I owe this sudden phone call? It’s like the sun has risen from the west.” He could hear the smile behind his voice.

“Jacob, how much do we have left in Reagan Pharmaceutical’s account? Transfer all of them to me. It’s urgent.” Zeke went straight to the point.
