In fact, Elise knew that Alexander wasn’t saying this to humor her, but he had really decided on it. “Okay.” She nodded obediently, but one second later, she was up to mischief again. “Don’t worry, Mr. Griffith. I’ll help you to save some money so that you don’t have to work so hard.”

“Thank you, future Mrs. Griffith!” Both of them joked for a little while until Elise received a text message on her cell phone. It was from the property agent, whom she had made an appointment with last evening, and he was now urging her to take a look at some places.

Tossing her cell phone into her bag, she then released her seatbelt and hopped out of the car. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing how hurried she seemed, Alexander said, “Where are you going? I can drop you off. Why did you get out of the car?”

“How can I do that when you’re not my driver? Moreover, you have to work hard for your marriage fund and can’t be spinning around me all day. I’m doing my own business now, so I need to learn to be independent! Having a girlfriend as considerate and caring as me, you should be happy about it!” she said stiffly.

Alexander wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. “I can’t save on the time to pick up and drop off my girlfriend.”

“Says who? I allow you to save that time.” Holding on the door, she said imperatively, “Alex, we’re going to be together for life, and I’m not that kind of meek girl who needs you to be around me and humor me all the time. Compared to you running around because of me, I would rather you spend more time on your own to rest after work. Take care of your health so that you can be by my side for a longer time. Do you understand?”

Raising his right hand, he gave her a military salute which wasn’t standard. “Yes, wifey!” He then paused and spoke with a smirk. “But I would still like to know where you’re going. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

“I’m going to buy a land or a house because I need a big and spacious place for my variety show. Are you assured now, Little Alex?”

When men are clingy, they act like a child, she thought.

Little Alex? Alexander repeated in his head, dumbfounded. “I got it, Miss Elise. Then, please watch out when you’re on your own,” he said in a childish tone, going along with her joke.

“I got it.” She closed the door and reminded, “Go to work now, Mr. Griffith.”

“I’m going now, then.” After hanging around for another half a minute, only then did he drive away.

Elise watched from afar with a sense of ease in her heart as his car grew smaller and smaller.

They were each busy with their own affairs while healing each other; a life with Alexander in it was already very blissful enough, and she didn’t want to get greedy. But right after that, the image of Kenneth’s sheepish face flashed across her mind without any reason.

Not daring to let herself stay idle for even a second, she quickly stopped a cab, and after giving the address to the driver, she started texting the top-notch property advisor in the city.

Either I don’t do it, or I produce a show everyone admires! she thought.

Meanwhile, after Alexander drove off not far away, he used the phone connected to his car wirelessly to dial Johnny’s number.

Almost instantly, Johnny picked up the call. “What can I do for you, sir?”

“Don’t we have a piece of land that’s more than a thousand acres lying around idle?” Alexander asked calmly.

“There is such a piece of land, but you already approved the building of a high-end golf course on it, and it’s under construction now,” Johnny answered.

“Really? Tell them to stop the works, then. Contact the relevant people. I’m selling it today,” Alexander said.

“Okay—huh?!” Subconsciously, Johnny accepted his instruction, but after that, it suddenly hit him that something was amiss, and he asked in shock, “But sir, this project has great prospects in the future. There’s no reason to sell it!”

“There’s one now,” he answered nonchalantly. “My wife needs to use it. Is this reason enough?”

Speechless, Johnny thought, It’s your own land and you’re just selling it within the family. The games this couple plays!

…

Elise went to a few places and viewed a few plots with the agent, but she was satisfied with none.

Either the place wasn’t big enough, or too much work needed to be done on it and the maintenance time afterward was too long. In conclusion, there wasn’t a place which she could use immediately.

And of all days, she was wearing heels today. When it was almost dark, she really couldn’t walk anymore and could only return home.

The agent was very clear that if he could succeed with Elise’s case, he would make two years’ worth of bonus. He sent her outside gratefully to wait for her ride.

“Don’t worry, Miss Sinclair. I’ve been in the business for so many years and have the widest network of contacts. For sure I’ll be able to find a suitable plot for you. Once there’s news, I’ll contact you right away!” he said pleasingly.

“I’ll have to trouble you, then.” Elise was so tired that she didn’t want to chit-chat anymore. “My ride is here. I’m going now.”

“Have a safe ride!”

Initially, the agent wanted to send her to the car personally, but his cell phone started ringing the second she stepped away. When he saw that it was a call from his assistant, he quickly picked it up because he had instructed her to contact him no matter how late it was if a plot which Elise would want popped up.

“How is it? Do you have news?” he asked impatiently.

A few seconds later, he bolted next to Elise’s cab, even forgetting to put down his phone. Holding on to the car door, he panted as he said, “Miss Sinclair, let’s make one more trip! I’ll guarantee your satisfaction!”

In sales, it was easy to lose a customer once they left, and with his speed earlier, he probably could have qualified for the Olympics.

Elise jumped in surprise by the way he acted, but seeing how sincere he appeared, she nodded and agreed.

This time, they were not disappointed indeed.

The agent brought her to a golf course which was almost completed with its construction. After touring around the golf course in a little tour bus, she signed the contract on the spot instantly.

In addition, it was lower than market price, so she managed to save a big amount.

On the way back home, she called Alexander on the phone to share this good news with him.

“It’s like godsent. I ran a check and found out that the original owner of this golf course was a consortium from abroad. Due to some adjustments in their business, they decided to give up this plot at the last minute, and I managed to pick up this good deal. I guess you can say that every dog has its day,” she said with a laugh.

“It’s always tough in the beginning, but since you already started off good, it goes to show that everything my wife wants to do will be smooth-sailing,” Alexander said. “A line-up of celebrities is indispensable in a variety show. Should I keep an eye out for you?”

“No.” She turned him down and pouted her lips. “You’re not allowed to stick your nose into this! This is my own business, and I want to take a look at them personally! Alexander Griffith, don’t be a male chauvinist!”

“Alright, alright. I worry too much.” Sighing helplessly, he then said, “Have a good rest tonight. I’m probably making a trip to Ostbetlam today and won’t be going home.”

“Okay, don’t forget to catch some sleep as well, and don’t stay up all night!”

“Yes, wifey!”

Both of them flirted a little longer on the phone before hanging up. At night, Elise slept deeply, but she woke up early the next day, woken up by her biological clock.

It was a little past the beginning of office hours, and she already drove the car to the basement parking of the country’s biggest talent-nurturing company, Blitzy Entertainment.
