Chapter 173 - Don't Miss Me

In the private room of a restaurant,

Jacob Fulton, who had been afraid of Dexter, now became confused. He was wondering why Dexter brought him to the restaurant.

"Eh, s-sir, you-"

Dexter nonchalantly said, "Mr. Fulton, please have a seat."

His countenance didn't show much expression, but there was no longer any anger there.

The fat man obeyed and immediately sat down. The waiter came to give the menu book. Dexter respectfully shifted the book towards the middle-aged man.

"What would you like to order?" asked Dexter as he sat down, not forgetting to unbutton his expensive Armani coat..

The more this famous man became kind to him, the more frightened Jacob Fulton became. Plus, the man's expression was very hard to predict.

Jacob didn't even think much, he ordered his food.

While waiting for their food to come, Dexter continued speaking, "I heard your daughter graduated from medical school from the best university in the country."

He was surprised!

The old man's heart suddenly seemed to stop. Did this man want to pressure him through his daughter because of that thing just now?

Thinking of that, his face turned pale!

Panicked, the fat man said, "Sir, I know that my actions earlier were impolite, I should have checked my mobile phone before entering the meeting room, but I just ignored it. Please... please don't target my daughter for my mistakes. Let me accept all the consequences of my actions. Please, don't involve my daughter, she…"

Dexter furrowed his brow. He had absolutely no idea what this man meant! However, one thing Dexter could tell, this man was misunderstanding him.

"Mr. Fulton, it looks like you misunderstood what I meant."

The old man stared at Dexter's black eyes, "What do you mean?"

Now the old man looked so enthusiastic.

"I was planning on recommending her to Danka hospital. You must be familiar with the hospital, aren't you?"

"Recommend my daughter?" He was still having a hard time deciphering what Dexter meant.

Dexter raised his eyebrows and cleared his throat, "ahem..."

"Mr. Chiro, may I know, what do you want?"

Dexter didn't like small talk but, in this case, he was a little shy. Asking for tips from people who were not close to him, wasn't this quite presumptuous?

After about one minute of silence, Dexter opened his mouth and said "Look, I can give you internal shares in GBK, I can also help recommend your daughter or if you want cooperation or other wishes, I am ready to fulfill whatever it is, as long as..."

The fat man waited curiously, he continued to stare at Dexter. In the end, Dexter was having his own troubles in his heart.

Dexter tapped the table lightly with his index finger. He turned his face to the other side, opened his mouth slowly, and said, "Hmm... That... how can your relationship with your wife run so romantic even after decades of marriage."

The fat man looked at him in awe. He couldn't help but judge Dexter; such an extraordinary man, great at managing a business, every woman's dream, and the right choice as the son-in-law of every female parent in this world but look at the man now even asking tips for building harmonious relationships in the marriage life.

One thing crossed Jacob Fulton's mind, "Mr. Chiro, are you married?"

Dexter looked at him with a calm gaze, like a rippling river. After raising his eyebrows, he gave an answer, "Hmm, it's been a few months."

Hearing Dexter's confession, Jacob was surprised. He wanted to ask who this great man was married to? But the middle-aged man dropped the idea. Of course, apart from that it was none of his business, he also realized that his question was so awkward, 'with whom?', of course, a great man would marry a great woman too. However, one thing that could not be hidden, Jacob could guarantee Dexter must really love his wife.

Jacob was happy. It was rare for a man in this day and age to have a man who still prioritizes the romantic relationship between husband and wife over his selfishness. So if that was the case, Jacob didn't hesitate to explain everything he knows, according to his experience of being married for up to 26 years.

After work, Kaili went to the bar where she usually met Cara. Cara was already waiting there when she entered the lobby area.

"Oh my goddess, you have finally come. I almost wrinkled up waiting for you." Cara made small talks, as she always did.

Kaili just shook her head looking at Cara. This woman had a lot of absurdity!

Kaili was just getting out of the car, but Cara barged into the driver's seat instead.

"Uh, you?"

Cara immediately interrupted her, "My goddess, you know I've never used an expensive car like this, so let me drive around this lobby, okay?"

"NO!!!" Kaili refused quickly. Cara was always confusing!

"Have you gone mad Miss Fulton? You will be driving around the lobby, have you ever thought it would disturb other visitors who want to park their vehicles?" Kaili massaged her temples. She couldn't understand why there was a woman who was so beautiful like Cara, but so reckless especially in acting.

Cara pursed her lips, "Just say that if you don't want this wedding gift from your husband to be used by someone else, am I right?"

Wedding gifts? True, this car was one of the wedding gifts she got from Dexter, however… was that mean the man had lied to her to this extent?

Kaili took a deep breath. She was no longer interested in responding to her friend's bullshit. Now her gaze fell down, her thick eyelashes seemed to tremble. Cara realized that, and then she approached Kaili.

"Hey, didn't we come here to have fun? Come on in, the whole table will be full. It will be troublesome later."

Cara pulled Kaili's hand into the bar forcibly because the woman was a little uninspired.

They chose a seat at the bartender's table. Cara directly ordered two glasses of her favorite cocktail.

"Hi handsome, give me two glasses of Cosmopolitan and a bottle of Hennessy XO." Not to forget, the flirtatious woman winked in a spoiled manner.

Kaili quickly rebuked Cara, "Are you crazy Miss Fulton, Hennessy XO, the alcohol is too strong."

"Why? Don't tell me you're scared because just two sips will make you drunk!" Cara sneered.

"I… Do you think I'm that weak to alcohol! Who is afraid? I'm just afraid you'll go broke if you order an expensive drink. Don't forget, you're the one who invited us for drinks, you'll also pay for it!"

Kaili warned Cara because that woman, no matter how much she drinks, wouldn't get drunk! In contrast to her who immediately gave up and got drunk after 2 glasses. If you follow Cara's prowess in drinking alcohol, then wait until she was broke then she stopped.

"Don't worry, tonight I will treat you to a hangover. I'm going to be a rich woman soon!" Cara answered while sipping a cocktail.

"Here, have a drink." She shifted the other glass in front of Kaili.

Kaili also took a sip and then asked, "Did you just win the lottery?"

"Nope!!!" Cara patted Kaili's forehead, "Did you see I'm a woman who likes to play the lottery?" She put on an annoyed look, Kaili laughed. This friend of hers was so silly and careless!

"I just got a really good promotion, a promotion that can make me a rich woman with guaranteed life." Cara started her story.

"Oh really? Weren't they wrong in giving you a promotion?" Kaili even looked down on her.

"Don't misjudge me, spoiled girl. I am a woman with high morale and work hard in my field. Just so you know, soon I will be serving as director."

Kaili's eyes lit up, "Wow, it turns out you can be someone useful too." She hugged Cara. She was so happy for her. Why not, they were both famous as spoiled rich kids at the university, and now look, without the help of their parents, both managed to get the job they wanted.

As soon as Kaili cheered, Cara's eyes dropped slightly, she seemed to be a bit sad this time.

"What is it? What happened?" Kaili asked. She was a little worried.

"Waaaahh (sobbing)…" Cara suddenly burst into tears. She also rested her head on Kaili's shoulder.

Kaili pushed her head, "Don't always act stupid!" She sneered at Cara, that woman was indeed too childish.

"My goddess, soon you will miss this stupid behavior of mine, don't you believe it? So as long as I'm still beside you, then enjoy all my stupidity. It's also for fun. My silly acts is quite funny you know."

"Funny to you!" Kaili curtly. She was sad but Cara always kept up with her absurdity.

"Okay, then later don't ever miss me. I'll be transferred to another hospital and take over as director there, which is definitely not in this B city and not in country J. So we'll be splitting up between continents, oceans, and countries. You'll miss me for sure!"
