"Oh yeah. Are you interested in investing with me? I'm interested in having a bakery like this. Rather than competing, it's better we work together, isn't it?"
Arella held Lilith to leave, and gave a business cooperation offer. But Lilith ignored Arella, and was about to leave to serve another customer.
"Ah, you're not interested, are you? I intend to offer a very high price. Are you sure you don't want to hear it first? Don't you need money anymore, because your business is tough?" said Arella threw his powerful weapon.
"Huh, that sucks. He thinks I'm a midfielder who needs money? I am a future wife to become a rich businessman. I'm supposed to be on vacation abroad instead of working at a bakery." Lilith swore in her heart. His face was really sour and unfriendly.
"Where does he know I need money? Is he probably an agent of loan sharks?"
"It seems that opening a baking class can also double income. With the knowledge you have, we can make several businesses in one place. Ah, of course the building next door we will rent to be wider," said Arella did not give up. "This is my name card. If you ..."
"Sorry, the cost of the course with me is very expensive. Because I learned it directly from abroad." Lilith ignored Arella's hand giving out the business card.
"After all, there are many people who offer bodong investment here so I have to be careful" continued the store owner.
"Hm, I like that way of thinking. When we start a business, it must be selective and careful to have partners." Arella still did not give up on persuading Lilith to cooperate with him.
"Just keep this card of my name. If at any time you change your mind, you can contact me." The wife Ellard had thrown away handed Lilith her business card.
"Yes, okay. But I'm not too sure" Lilith replied without a smile on her face.
"Oh yes, if you may know, how much does it cost to one course?" ask Arella.
"Rather than wasting time, it's better that I mention nominally high in order for her to retreat on her own," the already lazy inner Lilith faced Arella. "I've never heard of this company either. It seems like she was just wearing expensive brand clothes and offering a bodong investment," Lilith thought as she read the business card.
"Duh, sorry. I'm not forcing to open a course here. I was just wondering what the cost would be. To compare it to other places. If you agree with the price I offer, it might help your financial problems" said Arella.
"Tuh, look. He thinks I'm a beggar who just needs money? It should have been my husband who worked hard and spoiled me" Lilith replied inwardly.
Arella looked at Lilith with a small smile and raised her chin, waiting for the answer from the woman.
"Ehem, for meetings twice a week for two hours, I'm offering a fee of five million. That includes the cost of premium materials used," Lilith said.
"Five million twice a week?" repeated Arella.
"I've mentioned the cost without a second thought, because the appearance looks luxurious. But does this sound reasonable? The cost of baking courses is actually only seven hundred thousand, up to two million rupiah. Never mind, I did deliberately mention such a cost for him to back off." Lilith was at war with her own thoughts.
"Ah, it turned out to be a lot cheaper than I thought," Arella said smiling haughtily.
"Eh? Much cheaper? She definitely did not understand the baking world," Lilith said inwardly.
"Rather than having to study abroad, this cost is quite cheap. The rich people who want to learn baking to raise their prestige, would love to study here" Arella said.
"Is that right? He's not just a mouthpiece, is he?" lilith said beginning to waver.
"But the place must be renovated first, so that it can be in accordance with their tastes," continued Arella. Her sea-blue net, looked at every corner of the store, just like when she had just arrived again.
"Yes, it's okay. Business cannot rush to make decisions. If so, excuse us first" said Arella.

"Arella, why are you seeing Lilith? Don't you want revenge on Ellard?" Rhea who was sitting behind the wheel of the car, was still confused and curious about the plan made by Arella.
"Ellard is very difficult to find outside the house, especially if he is having a problem," replied Arella, chewing on the glazelle doughnuts he bought at Lilith's store earlier.
"The problem? How do you know he's in trouble again? Did you say it was the same with Lilith? Didn't they take most of your assets?" rhea asked increasingly curious.
Arella simply rolled her eyes while smiling secretively.
"Ellard would just lock himself in the house and blame someone else. So I had to use Lilith to lure her out. I also want revenge on both of them" explained Arella, who is very familiar with her husband's attitude.
"You sure that's how it works? It seems Lilith is not interested in our offer" Lilith replied again.
"Hopefully. Lilith was a crazy treasure, just like Ellard. In times of financial hardship like this, they must be short-minded. The most important thing is how to get money quickly" Arella said with great confidence.

"Basic jerk! Why is nothing good in my business? The tenants of the building were also delinquent in payment until now."
Ellard exasperated, while throwing away the traces of chewing gum that he chewed carelessly. Bottles of fizzy drinks were scattered around him. A group of ants swarming around the old bottle, not to be ignored by Ellard.
The man sat on the sofa with his feet on the table. Her hair was long and not combed. His face looked very, tangled as if he had not slept for days.
Clack!
"I'm home."
A woman with a faded pink sweater and floppy pants entered the cramped apartment with a matted face.
"God! Don't you wash dishes and clean the house? Look at these ants, they've made our home their nest." Lilith nagged, when she saw a house more akin to a landfill.
"You're telling me to clean up the house? That's your duty as a woman" Ellard replied.
"Then what's your job? During these four months you can only spend money. While those who work only
me!" lilith.
"Damn it! I think he used to be an established, hard-working guy. It turns out that only a spoiled guy can't do anything" Lilith lamented inwardly.
"Suckers! Not yet a legitimate wife has dared to get angry and rouse me. You know, just asking for money. Anella aja who is rich never humbled me like gini," Ellard's mind also in the heart.
