Matthew finally understood now. “I see. I’ll arrange a candlelight dinner, book the most luxurious hotel, find the best jewelry, and buy the newest handbag for her right away.
“What do you think?”
“Mr. Leon, I think that's excellent.”
Kent approved of his idea without a second thought, but in case Matthew failed to appease his wife and decided to take it out on him again, he decided to give Matthew a heads-up first.
“Of course, Mr. Leon, I’m referring to women in general. Mrs. Leon might think differently, so this strategy might not work in her case.”
Matthew frowned.
“How could you suggest a plan that might fail? I need a foolproof plan. Don’t you know my work ethic?”
Kent felt his head buzzing. How was that the same? The fact that Matthew was asking him for advice on how to appease his wife showed how useless Matthew was in this regard.
However, Matthew was still Kent's boss, so he had to follow his orders no matter what.
In a fit of self-pity, Kent decided to reveal the method he used to appease his wife when she was extra angry.
“Mr. Leon, if that doesn’t work, I have no choice but to teach you my ultimate secret trick.”
Matthew’s curiosity was piqued. “What is it? Tell me now.”
Gulping, Kent mentally prepared himself to get fired by his angry boss.
“Mr. Leon, first, you go to the supermarket and get yourself a cactus or a washboard.”
Although Matthew did not know what this method entailed, he had a bad feeling about this.
Cactus? Was it for Lucy? What was the washboard for? Why would they need that when they had washing machines at home?
He suppressed his curiosity and continued listening to Kent.
