James looked at Kara, with her exaggerated acting, holding her stomach with a face full of pain.
“Little fool, you are not suitable for acting. If you want to get the bag, you have to promise me something,” James said.
Hearing James’ request, Kara became very serious with a straight face.
“James, if I really get five million, you can count on me!” Kara replied.
“Count on you?” James was surprised.
Kara patted her chest with a proud look on her face. And James grinned.
“Yes, I am the hostess here. If I get the money, I will support the family.” Kara jumped a few more times, wanting to get her bag.
Suddenly, when Kara jumped up, her forehead hit James’ chest.
Kara rubbed her forehead from the pain of being hit, pouted her pink lips, and stared at James with a pitiful look.
James had been managing the SA Group all these years. What hadn’t he encountered?
As Nolan once said, even if Mount Tai was about to collapse in front of Mr. James, Mr. James would not blink but continue to do what he had to do.
But now, as long as the little woman in front of James showed a pitiful look, his heart would soften and James couldn’t bear to have her.
However, Kara was not feeling well right now.
“Go to the sofa and sit down. I’ll look for the ticket for you,” James rubbed Kara’s forehead and demanded coldly.
“OK,” Kara replied.
Hearing that James would help her find the ticket, Kara ran to the sofa with a silly smile and sat there with her legs swaying.
James searched the whole bag and was sure that the ticket was not there.
Then James went to the closet again, but he still didn’t see the ticket. So James changed his target and intended to search other places.
Suddenly, something came up to James and he found a notebook in the drawer.
“James, that is my diary. Don’t read it,” Kara shouted.
Seeing that James was going to read her diary, Kara ran over nervously.
James glanced at Kara with his brown indifferent eyes as he opened her diary.
Then James looked for the day Kara bought the lottery ticket and, as expected, James found a crumpled lottery ticket in Kara’s diary.
“It’s amazing. How could you find it?” Kara was in awe.
Kara was wondering how James could know that she would hide the lottery ticket in her diary?
“Little fool, besides thinking about eating every day, what else can you remember?” James mocked.
James had once checked Kara’s phone and found that Kara had the habit of recording everyday things, so James guessed that Kara would occasionally keep a diary. So it was very likely that Kara would keep the lottery ticket representing luck.
Of course, it was just his speculation, and James didn’t expect that he would really get it right.
Kara was speechless.
Although what James said was true, Kara really wanted to bite him when she heard James say that.
Kara thought, ‘Food is the paramount necessity of the people, alright?’
“Get dressed, let’s go to get the awards. After you get the money, I will count on you in the future.” James grinned and took the lottery ticket away.
Kara gritted her teeth.
However, Kara had thought about asking James to count on her for a long time.
In the past, it was always James who took care of Kara, so Kara always hoped that if someone would buy her work one day, her boyfriend could count on her.
The two of them got dressed and James drove Kara to the lottery headquarter of NK City in person to receive the award.
However, to Kara’s surprise, when she and James explained their intentions, the staff said that the computer system went wrong and Kara did not win the prize.
Kara stared at the lottery ticket in her hand and the corner of her mouth twitched.
How unlucky Kara was to have met with a system error.
Kara turned around and wanted to leave, but the man beside her wore a solemn expression and stared at Kara with his brown eyes.
“Little fool, you believe whatever they say?” James asked.
“Then what else can I do?” Kara was helpless.
‘The staff all said that it was a system error, and as a nobody who did not know anything, what could I do to them?’ Kara wondered.
“The SA Group has also taken part in this kind of activity before. So, talking about system errors, it is not something a few small characters like them can explain. You have to ask the technicians to come over and apologize to you!” James said.
Kara blinked.
Kara believed that James was right about this. Anyone who received an official message which said that he had won a five million grand prize would definitely be very excited.
And it would be a mental blow to the person if he came to receive the award but was told that it was just a system error.
Kara put the lottery ticket into her pocket, straightened her back, put her hands on her waist, and turned to the indifferent staff.
Kara then said, “You guys sent me away with just a system error. Isn’t that too perfunctory?”
“It happens that my boyfriend knows computers well. Get your technicians here and explain to him. A group of people who get paid to do their job have made such a stupid mistake. Shouldn’t they apologize?”
A group of staff members went speechless and looked at each other.
When informed that someone had come to receive the grand prize, the staff members were afraid that something would happen, so they deliberately added a few more staff members to the front desk.
However, the woman did not make a fuss. Instead, she wanted to discuss technical matters with the technicians, which made things difficult for them.
“Miss, our technicians are busy right now. If you want to talk to them, you will have to wait!” one of the staff said.
Kara frowned and thought that was clearly an excuse.
Kara believed that if she did as the staff asked, she and James would have to wait for a whole day. And when Kara asked again then, the staff would just tell her that the technicians were off work and then asked Kara to come back tomorrow.
Kara didn’t know what to do next, so she looked up to ask James for help.
James held Kara’s hand with an indifferent look and calm brown eyes.
“It’s fine if your technicians can’t come. I’ll just invite the president of the Marshall Group here!” James said.
When the group of people heard that James would invite their president over, they sneered disdainfully.
The staff believed although this man had a good temperament, he bragged too far this time.
‘Is it that easy to call the president of the Marshall Group here?’ the staff mocked.
“Sir, don’t make a scene here. This is a system error, not our fault. If you think it is unfair, go to the service department to complain about the technical staff.”
“In any case, we don’t have any money in our hands and you’re not getting any good out of causing trouble here,” one staff member said.
The group of staff nodded. They felt that James was boasting when they heard James say that he wanted to call the president of the Marshall Group here.
The staff members thought, ‘Did he think that he could scare us just by threatening to call the president?’
Who knew how many hooligans came to the company every day? And the staff hadn’t batted an eye when they beat those hooligans.
“You are passing the buck. I’m trying to talk to you calmly, but you’re being so unreasonable. Believe it or not, I’m gonna post what has happened here on the Internet and tell everyone what evil deeds these guys have done!” Kara retorted.
Kara couldn’t bear to see others being hard on James.
“I’m going to spend some money and make a big deal out of what has happened. At that time, it’s gonna be tough for you guys!” Kara added.
When the staff heard that Kara was going to make a big deal out of this matter, they immediately turned solemn.
The most important thing about selling lottery tickets was reputation. If Kara was to expose that the Marshall Group was cheating, no one would buy lottery tickets here.
“Woman, I advise you not to make trouble for yourself. You’re the one who’s talking nonsense. You think anyone can win five million in the lottery, don’t you?”
“If you make a scene of this matter, I’ll be honest with you that if anything happens to you later, don’t blame yourself for being unlucky!” the staff threatened.
Kara ground her teeth, ‘How dare this group of people threaten me!’
Four or five robust men walked in front of Kara, giving out an air of oppression that made others scared.
Kara was so scared that she took two steps back and walked to James, not knowing what to do.
“James, did I really get cheated?” Kara asked,
James touched her little head. James did not care if Kara could get five million or not.
Nevertheless, when James thought about how Kara had asked him to count on her if she would get five million on the way here, he had to care.
‘That was the money Kara needed to support me. How could I not get it back?’ James thought.
