"Do you think he'll be able to pull it off?"
Watching Sean's arrogant stride come to a halt, Charles snickered as he asked Zack.
The latter slightly lifted his brows and cast an indifferent glance towards Sean, who was not far from
them.
"A 50-50 chance."
Smiling, Charles clicked his tongue and said, "Well, you think highly of him."
Zack drew his gaze away from Sean and casually remarked, "It's undeniable that he got some looks,
albeit not extremely good-looking."
Charles rubbed his chin.
In an amused voice, he replied, "Hmm, that’s true.Let's see how he'll use that face to invite that lady."
On the other side of the golf course, Sean, who was the subject of their ridicule, was regretful.
Just how awful was his luck? Of all the people to be the target of their bet, why did God send this
woman?! Why did it have to be Katherine? Katherine had already played for one round, so she
intended to take a break.
But when she turned her head, Katherine was a little stunned that Sean had discreetly appeared
beside her.
Although Sean was lost in his own thoughts, he instantly recovered his senses after he felt Katherine's
gaze on him.
As if he didn’t suddenly appear out of thin air, Sean greeted her with an awkward smile on his face, "Hi,
Katherine."
Katherine didn't mind him a bit.
Feeling thirsty, she opened the water bottle and casually raised her head before she took a sip.
After that, she turned to face Sean.
"What a coincidence again, Mr.Lewis." Katherine shook her head secretly.
Apparently, her luck had run out.
If not, she wouldn't meet him here.
Sean turned around to look at his friends, who were looking at him as if he were some entertainment.
From afar, though he couldn't see Charles and the others' reactions, he could imagine how they were
secretly laughing at him.
With a bruised ego, Sean suddenly solidified his determination.
He then shouted inwardly, ‘No, I can't admit defeat so easily.I can't!"
Sean took a deep breath and composed himself.
As if he didn't notice her resistance towards him, he asked, "Did you come here to play alone?"
Katherine fixed her gaze on him, turning towards the caddie beside her.
After that, as though she was looking at an idiot, she sarcastically retorted, "No, can't you see that I
have a companion here, Mr.Lewis?"
She simply didn’t have the time to answer his meaningless questions.
Katherine decided not to bother with him lest he accidentally ruined her good mood.
Sean smiled awkwardly at Katherine's seriousness.
Still, with the bet circling in his mind, Sean offered, "I'm playing with my friends here.Do you want to join
us?"
Frowning, Katherine shook her head and directly refused Sean.
"I don't like the liveliness." Nonetheless, Sean didn't give up.
Thinking that Katherine would be interested if Zack was mentioned, he suggestively said, "Zack is here
today, and you're not going to greet him?"
Katherine darted a glanced at Sean and raised her eyebrow in disdain.
"And since when did Zack and I have to greet each other?"
Seeing that whatever came out in his mouth was not to his advantage, Sean carefully said, "No,
sorry.It’s just that we saw how you played and thought that since your skills are quite good, you can
teach Cherry?"
Katherine shifted her gaze to the caddie, who had returned after retrieving the golf ball.
"Thank you for your hard work.Anyway, let us first take a break."
After that, she then turned to face Sean.
"Thank you, but I'm not good at teaching others.Still, the Golf Association here also offers specialized
training, and I believe Mr.Jacobs knows more about it than I do."
Sean was frustrated with the situation.
In the end, Katherine was clearly not going to come with him no matter what he said.
For a moment, Sean was unable to say anything else to Katherine.
Luckily, one of the qualities that he could boast about was his shamelessness.
At last, Sean simply threw caution to the wind since things had already turned out this way.
He said in resignation, "To tell you the truth, I made a bet with them."
Unexpectedly, Katherine turned to face him and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Yes, I can see that."
"Then you..."
Sean froze, realizing how laughable he was in front of Katherine.Was Katherine teasing him on
purpose right now?
"You're overthinking, Mr.Lewis.I'm simply not a helpful person," Katherine replied, guessing what was
on his mind.
Refusing to admit defeat, Sean desperately asked, "Is there really no room for discussion?"
Katherine asked indifferently, "What's your bet?"
Sean spoke openly now that things had reached this point.
Katherine clicked her tongue and said, "Well, it is quite intriguing, but I am not surprised that you've
come up with this bet, Mr.Lewis."
Sean couldn't tell if she was complimenting him or dissing him.
Seeing that it amused Katherine, he continued to persuade her.
"Let's act together; think of it as me owing you a favor.I promise I'll pay you back next time!"
Katherine raised her pair of attractive eyes and slightly lifted her brows as she heard this.
"I don't want to help you, Mr.Lewis.But if you’re ready to give Silverlight Entertainment the copyrights of
River Sand, I wouldn't mind accompanying you there."
Sean's smile faded.He asked with a grave expression on his face, "How did you find out that we had
purchased the copyrights of River Sand?"
The copyrights of River Sand were just purchased by Central Ring on Thursday.No one else knew
about it besides the employees in the Production Department.
Katherine, however, was well aware of this case.
Although Katherine said this in a carefree manner, this was not a small matter.
Not minding Sean's complicated expressions, Katherine continued, "We've also contacted the author of
River Sand, but no matter how much money we offer, the other party will not take it."
Anything could be solved with money, so Silverlight Entertainment even tried to offer an enormous
amount.
But the thing was, even after their efforts, the author couldn't do anything about it as the copyrights
were no longer in his hands.
As he heard her say this, Sean couldn't help but admire Katherine's meticulous mind when it came to
business matters.
He gritted his teeth to calm himself and resignedly said, "I can't give you the copyrights to River Sand,
but if you help me, I can offer you 15% of the copyright's total revenue."
Katherine was well-aware that she was asking too much.It would be stupid of Sean to give her the
whole copyrights of River Sand.
Initially, all she wanted was a portion of the profits after seeing the copyright's potential.
Sean was kind enough to give her a 15% of the profits.
The Central Ring Company had adequate funds, so they could make this adaptation without relying on
any investors.
So, it was undoubtedly a profitable venture for her if she put her money into it.
In a great mood, Katherine smiled and offered her hand to seal the deal.
"I'll look forward to this cooperation, Mr.Lewis."
"So do l," Sean said although he was taken aback for a second before reaching out to take her hand.
Though after that, he was pleased that they reached an agreement.
