Chapter 140
As usual, Andrius picked up breakfast on the way to the office in the morning.
When he arrived at the office and had just sat down on his chair, Luna approached him.
"Andrius, come with me."
Her fair long legs appeared before his eyes.
"Oh?"
Andrius followed Luna to her office.
Luna sat down at her desk with a stoic look. Her beautiful big eyes stared at Andrius. "Why didn't you come back to Dream's Waterfront last night?"
Andrius thought it was about something else. He explained, "I was meeting a friend outside and had one too many beers. I don't want to disturb you, so I didn't go back..."
Luna's delicate face looked more relaxed. "If you can come back, come back. You hear me?"
She added, "Don't overthink it. I'm just thinking that since you are always out, Grandfather might suspect something. I don't want him to be worrying."
"Mm-hmm."
Luna spotted his nonchalance. She wanted to continue, but then Danni came rushing in.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Ms. Crestfall! Something bad has happened!"
"The directors of Civil Bank, Cathay Bank, and Honseng Bank are here, and they don't look too friendly."
"Why are they here?" Luna's brows furrowed. She had no idea what happened for the directors of the mentioned banks to show up at her office.
Luna strode to the waiting lounge to find out what happened.
"Ms. Crestfall, there you are."
"Time to pay up that 20-million loan that you got from Honseng Bank."
"Luna Crestfall, please settle the loan with Cathay Bank as well."
"Ms. Crestfall, the 35-million loan from Civil Bank..."
They were all here to ask for money, which annoyed Luna. She looked at the bank directors and tried to stay as calm as possible. "Director Lambert, Director Lee, Director McKensie, it's not the due dates for the loans yet."
Director Lambert scoffed, "Even if it's not the due date yet, you have to pay up. According to the contract, given that it's a premature collection of the loan, we will only take half of the stated interest."
Director Lee added, "Yeah. You have to pay up. Our bank is venturing into a new project, and your loan is holding us back."
Director McKensie was the most polite of them all. He looked helpless as he said, "Ms. Crestfall, it's time for you to pay the loan."
Luna became nervous when she saw their unquestioning attitude.
"Directors, our company funds are currently invested in a big project. We won't be able to get our cash
flow moving in such a short period of time. Can you give us more time?"
"More time?" Director Lambert scoffed. "Of course, you have until tomorrow. If you can't pay up tomorrow, I will make sure New Moon Corporation suffers the consequences of late payment!"
He then stormed out of the room.
"Remember, tomorrow! Or I will take necessary actions as well!" Director Lee bellowed before he, too, strode out of the room.
Director McKensie sighed and said softly, "Ms. Crestfall, tomorrow will be the due date."
He then left.
Luna was left stunned on the spot when the directors left. They sounded unquestioning as they insisted on getting the loan repayment tomorrow.
However, the money she had received from the bank had all been invested in the Valiant Institute project. The project was underway, so how was she going to get the money to pay the banks?
Ding!
When she returned to her office, Luna received a text from Director McKensie, whose bank was the closest to the company.
"Ms. Crestfall, I hope you understand that the Hanshus have instigated us to do this. The Hanshus have big accounts with massive cash flow with our banks. If we don't do what they say, they will withdraw from our banks, and we cannot afford to lose them!"
