Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 515

Josephine shot Gerald a look.

As they had planned, Gerald got the hint, reluctantly said he was going to the restroom, and left the private dining room.

The moment Gerald left, Josephine picked up the bottle, poured Ryan more red wine, and said, “Kevin, I understand that your job is tough and doesn’t pay well.”

“Since Mr. Beltran has you in charge of the entire film investment, you’re basically part of our crew now. We think the production should be paying you something for it, too.”

Ryan was stunned by what Josephine said, completely frozen in place.

Was Josephine trying to bribe him? Bribe him with the’s film investment money?

Damn it, he’d agreed to this dinner, but he really hadn’t expected this.

He thought Josephine wanted to build a good relationship with him, to find out what Mr. Beltran was really thinking, just like she used to with Claude.

Wait, did Claude ever take money from Josephine?

Ryan saw Josephine staring at him, waiting for a response, so he said awkwardly, “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Sutton, but Mr. Beltran treats us in the Executive Office very well. I appreciate the thought.”

Josephine thought he was just politely refusing and smiled, “Does Ryan have a girlfriend?”

Ryan was surprised and just said, “Huh?”

Josephine took a box out of her bag and placed it in front of Ryan. “Girls all like jewelry Ryan, get a beautiful set of jewelry made for your girlfriend.”

Ryan looked at the box, not understanding what “getting a beautiful set of jewelry made” meant.

So it wasn’t a set of jewelry in here, but tools for making jewelry?

Josephine couldn’t read Ryan’s expression. Was he happy, did he not understand her, or was he still playing dumb?

Chapter 515

She had no choice but to say, “Ryan, just put it away for now.”

Ryan didn’t dare take it. Whatever it was, accepting it would mean trouble.

So he said, “Ms. Sutton, what is this?”

As he spoke, he opened the box to look.

It was glittering with gold–several long gold bars.

288 Vouchers

Ryan felt like he was being blinded. He quickly looked away, closed the box, and then said:

“Ms. Sutton, I don’t have a girlfriend, so I don’t need to get jewelry made. I appreciate the thought, but you should take it back and have some jewelry made for yourself.”

Josephine was stunned.

Was Ryan rejecting her, or did he just think gold bars were an inappropriate gift?

He doesn’t like gold bars? Does he want cash?

There were only the two of them in the private dining room, so Josephine boldly said, “Ryan, the price of gold is soaring right now.”

Ryan: “…”

་་

He suddenly found Josephine to be quite tacky.

Mr. Beltran probably saw her true colors, which is why he lost interest in her. He was probably worried she’d make a terrible movie and wanted to cut his losses.

Ryan replied, “Ms. Sutton, I don’t have a hobby of collecting gold.”

Josephine couldn’t figure Ryan out. She was getting annoyed, wishing he would stop rejecting her outright and just tell her what he wanted.

So she said, “Ryan, if your girlfriend doesn’t like gold, you can exchange it for cash and buy her something she does like.”

“Or, I can exchange it for cash for you.”

Ryan found the sight of the usually noble and elegant Josephine bribing him like some common person both contemptible and absurd. He replied,

“Ms. Sutton, I really don’t have a girlfriend, and I’m not short on cash.
