Three minutes later, it finally got better. The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out in
laughter. Although a failed experience⦠It had at least
served to
enhance and deepen the bond between husband and wife. âGo and take a bath! Iâll wait for you, and Iâll
get you a set of clothes,â Dorothy said as she rinsed her mouth. She had thrown up everything she had
eaten in the morning.
Her bathroom came with an attached shower room, so it wasnât a big deal to take a bath here. Alex
was exasperated. âAlright. Go and come back quickly, then.â Seeing the look of disappointment on his
face, Dorothy couldnât help but feel a little sorry. She whispered, âOkay, donât look so sullen. I promise it
wonât be like this the next time⦠It must be because we didnât
choose an appropriate location.â
âIf you say so.â
âYes, I said so⦠But you have to guarantee that you wonât hook up with that Cheryl woman behind
me.â Alex was speechless. âThereâs nothing going on between Cheryl and me.â Dorothy snorted coldly.
âOnly an idiot would believe you. Even if you think thereâs nothing, each time I see
her, she looks as though she wants to jump into your arms and hug the life out of you! Thatâs so
strange. I
donât seem to see whatâs so good about you?
Which part of you is particularly attractive to women?â
âThen, you must be clearly blind,â Alex replied. âDid you just say that Iâm blind? You naughty thingâ¦
Kiss me!â
âWhat?â
âI want you to kiss me right now!â
âN-No⦠You justâ¦â Alexâs face changed drastically in a moment. Although a failed experience, it
wasnât a complete failure!
Dorothy threw herself on him. âHey, Iâm taking a bath now.â
âWhat⦠â ***
In Assex Constructions, Benny was ecstatic upon meeting Saul Cornell, Miracle Bankâs manager. With
a smile, he asked, âManager Cornell, from where did you hear all these rumors? How could I have
taken
a loan from loan sharks?
Assex Constructions is developing well, and now is the time of rapid development. How about this? Iâm
willing to increase the interest rate by 5% for the loan agreement between us. What do
you think?â Saul shook his head. âPresident Assex, even our president knows about these matters
youâre involved in. Iâm
only running errands that heâs handed me, so thereâs no point in you telling me this.â
âWhat?
How did President Leake know about this?â Saul shook his head again. âSo, President Assex, please
donât trouble me anymore. I wonât be leaving if you
donât pay up today.â As they were talking, the secretary hurried over and opened the door before
walking in. âPresident Assex, not goodâ¦â
âWhat is it?
Canât you see Iâm busy?â Benny snapped, annoyed. Undoubtedly, his temper was terrible at the
moment. âPresident Assex, thereâs a group of peopleâ¦â Before the secretary could finish, she was
pushed aside by a tall, bald man that came from behind her. More
than a dozen people followed them in, and they all had tattoos on their arms, colorful hair, and were in
strange
clothes.
From a single glance, you could tell they were gangsters. âPresident Assex, I came here uninvited, but
it canât be that you wonât welcome me, right?â The tall, bald
man said as he sat on the desk, kicking Saul away. Saul was still a bank manager. How could he not
be angered over such treatment?
Getting up, he yelled, âHow could you kick me?!â
The bald man grabbed the ashtray on the table and slammed it on Saulâs head with a loud âthunk,â and
blood
instantly spurted from the deep gash that had formed on his head. âD*mn it, what kind of joke is this?
Itâs an honor for me to give you a kick.â
âBrothers, break one of his arms and toss him out.â Saul was shocked. âIâm from Miracleâ¦â He had
only managed to get those words out before one of the bald manâs subordinates slammed a stick into
his arm and broke the bone with a sickening âcrackâ.
Saul screamed, and then he was thrown out. Benny was stunned, speechless. He couldnât help but
think, âItâs all over! Saul will hate my guts once he gets
back!â âBrother Simon, this⦠What are you doing?â Benny asked nervously. The bald man in front of
him was
Simon Jenkins, the one he had borrowed money from with a high-interest rate. âWhat am I doing? Iâve
just received news that your Assex Constructions has run out of money, and you canât
even pay salaries,â Simon growled.
âWhat about my money then? Has it all flown away with the wind?â
âWho did you hear this from? We have the money, and our company is rich.â Slap!
Simon slapped Benny on the face.
âWhat the hell do you take me for? Do you think Iâm blind? Even your
employees are causing a ruckus, and you think I canât see it?â Thud!
A shiny dagger landed on the desk, digging itself into it.
