Chapter 553 Is This Reason Enough?
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.
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!”
