Happy reading!
At night, Raymond and Alice were seen in their new room, which had been rearranged by Alice.
"You seem to have a sweet talent, in arranging the interior of a room, for example this room, so it looks more elegant than before."
"Thank you sweetu your compliment, I only learned a little from Elvia when she designed the interior in my restaurant."
The look on Alice's face suddenly became sad, she recalled her restaurant, which Adrian had sold. The restaurant holds many memories for Alice, because it was the restaurant that Alice learned about the rigors of life, in supporting her family. The restaurant was built by Adrian and continued by Alice in his management, until the restaurant had a fragrant name in central London.
Raymond looked far away at the sadness on Alice's face, he then tightened his sleeping position to reach Alice's body, to be close in his arms. Raymond gently rubbed Alice's hair, with his hands round her neck, into Alice's headrest to sleep, Raymond then gave a kiss right on Alice's forehead.
"Don't be sad again sweetie, be patient! I promise happiness will come for you."
Alice further immersed her face in Raymond's chest, smiling with comfort in her heart, the embrace of her husband as tears began to pour down her eyelids, as if to be a cure for Alice's stubbornness, to make Alice become strong when wiping tears in both eyes.
"Thank you sweetu, you can always calm me down."
Raymond smiled as he continued to look at Alice's face, but his mind was now on the figure of the woman who had vehemently rejected his offer. Raymond recalled what Risfa had said earlier this afternoon, he had forgotten something that was really important to him at this time, that Amita, the owner of Chopra Restaurant, had contacted him and had given him his mobile number.
"Damn it, I forgot to call back to that number, it's possible that he changed his mind and agreed to sell the restaurant to me" Raymond muttered.
Raymond turned to look at Alice's face, which had fallen asleep in his arms.
"You always fall asleep quickly, if you fall asleep in my arms sweety, but for a moment I have to call the owner of the restaurant," muttered Raymond carefully moving from his position, so as not to wake Alice up.
Raymond was finally able to take off Alice's close embrace, albeit slowly. Raymond replaced his body with a large bolster, to become Alice's bedmate.
Raymond continued his steps away from the bed. After picking up the phone from the top of the nightstand, he started heading towards the balcony in his room. Raymond was seen already pressing a few numbers on his phone screen, according to what was written on the piece of paper he held.
"Hello, Amita, it's Raymond."
"Wow, Mr. Raymond, I'm so surprised, you called me last night, why not tomorrow?"
"Have not said much, so how was my offer?"
"I accept it, sir" said Amita paused her unfinished sentence, but Raymond had already interpreted it as an agreement.
"I thought you were afraid of my threats, so you accepted my offer, you finally know who I am?"
"That's exactly why, because I know that's why I accepted your offer, but if you pay it for 150 Billion.
Amita's words made Raymond choke on his own saliva. His face hardened with a sharp eye, feeling himself being played with by Amita.
"Unfortunately, you think I'm going to obey your will, you bought it for 4.5 Billion and you want to sell it to me for 150 Billion, what nonsense is this Amita?"
"Relax sir, you can pay him 2x if you want, but I won't lower my price, MANGO Corporate is the largest company in London, London, I don't think money with that amount means anything to you, sir."
"Damn, this woman is cunning, she took advantage of my situation that I needed the restaurant to give as a birthday gift to Alice, that amount is indeed small for me but if I obey her will, I will, it means that I'm just as defeated as he is, willing to be put where my pride, Raymond Weil's self-esteem is worth more than anything," raymond muttered with restraining his anger by clenching his hands and hitting towards the wall many times.
Flapping Raymond's hand woke Alice up who began to look open her eyes many times, while touching the empty bed that was no Raymond in position, Alice began to rise and sit on the edge of the bed.
"Where's sweetu, why does he go to the balcony these nights?" alice asked in her heart, who saw the balcony door of the room open wide.
Alice began to step closer to the balcony. As Alice was about to go out and approach Raymond, she began to hear the conversation Raymond was currently having.
"How about Mr Raymond? The decision is in your hands?" amita asked with a sly smile on her face.
"10 Billion Amita, that's a fair price and not too much for you, if you refuse it, I'll take it by force."
Alice was stunned to hear it.
"Amita, who else is that woman? Did sweetu repeat his old mistake by cheating and trying to leave a trace of his affair, so sweetu intended to pay the woman," murmured Alice feeling anxious with all the thoughts in her head.
Alice quickly returned to her bed, threw her body on the bed violently, and began to pull a blanket over her. Alice clenched tightly onto her big roll. There was no pain in his heart, to the point of making a clear circle of tears dripping from both corners of his eyes.
"However you sweetu, if you're right to betray me again, I don't know if I can forgive you for the umpteenth time."
Alice swallowed the bitter tears that lay on her lips. She did not imagine, if until this moment she still had to feel the pain of a betrayal from her husband.
Shortly after, Raymond returned and laid her body on the bed, while Alice wiped her tears and quickly closed them, so that Raymond does not know that he has heard his conversation with Amita on the phone.
Raymond tilted his body toward Alice, whom he saw sleeping.
"Sweety, I understand your happiness about the restaurant, but the price of 150 M is really unreasonable for me, the woman is like taking advantage of my current situation, she said, who really needs that restaurant to be able to give you a surprise on your birthday."
Raymond massaged his temple many times to expel the dizziness in his head. His heart was struggling with his own ego, but it was not Raymond Weil's name if he had to obey the threat of others. After coming up with an idea, the look on his face had already begun to look calm, with a sneaky smile on his face, he could already feel a great victory would be grasped easily.
"From tomorrow be prepared for the destruction of your restaurant Amita, you asked me to do all this to you, so don't blame me" Raymond murmured in annoyance.
Raymond finally tried to close his eyes. Before long he began to sleep, until Alice who had been peering at Raymond, now got up from the bed slowly. Alice stepped closer to the nightstand to pick up Raymond's phone.
After fiddling with the phone, he finally found a number listed on the outgoing call in his phone history. Alice recorded Amita's mobile number on her phone. After doing all that, she put her husband's phone back on the nightstand.
"Tomorrow I'll call this woman, I have to find out who she really is? And what's he got to do with my husband?" alice murmured in her heart.
