Chapter 57 - Good Idea

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Since the present Alger bought for Madam Bella won her favor, Madam Bella also ridiculed him much less after that.

After having dinner at Madam Bella’s, Alger and Winnie went home.

On the way, Winnie was in a wonderful mood. She looked at Alger and said, “Alger, you’re quite smart. You bought presents for my Mom. But next time, don’t buy her such expensive presents.”

Alger thought that if he didn’t, Madam Bella might force Winnie to divorce him again.

“I’m talking to you. What are you thinking about?” When Winnie noticed that Alger ignored her, she frowned and said.

“Nothing. I’m thinking how Cyril Wells is going to deal with that diamond bracelet,” Alger said casually.

Winnie thought that Alger was thinking about Cyril Wells’s intention of buying her a gift, so she quickly declared her stance and said, “He can do whatever he wants to that bracelet. Anyway, I won’t accept it. The ones you bought me are already enough.”

After hearing that, Alger nodded with a smile and suddenly said, “Winnie, I think there’s one thing Cyril Wells said that is quite right. I indeed can’t let you take the bus when it gets colder. We’ll go buy a car tomorrow.”

“What?”

Winnie looked at Alger in shock, “You aren’t joking with me, are you?”

“Of course not. I’ll buy you a car tomorrow,” Alger said firmly.

“No, you’ve already spent so much money on these jewelry. Aren’t you going to spend more money if you buy a car?” Winnie quickly rejected him.

“It’s alright. You’re already a manager at the Rolle Corporation now, and you’re even wearing such expensive jewelry. How can you keep taking the bus?” Alger said without letting Winnie reject him, “Do you have time tomorrow?”

“I’m probably not free tomorrow. A company has been suppressing us these days, so I still have a lot to deal with tomorrow,” Winnie shook her head and said.

“I see.” Alger nodded. If Winnie wasn’t free, he would go by himself.

Winnie looked at Alger. She suddenly frowned and said, “What’s wrong with you? You bought me jewelry and on top of that—a car. Even if you won the lottery, you shouldn’t have so much money, right?

“Where exactly did you get the money? You better not lie to me!”

Winnie didn’t believe the nonsense that Alger said about winning the lottery at the beginning. How could Alger be so lucky?

“Like what you told Madam Bella, that’s my salary from working at the Youssie Corporation.” Alger knew that he couldn’t keep this from Winnie, so he must give her a reasonable explanation.

“How long have you been working there? Even if it’s your salary, it’s impossible that they’re giving you so much money, right?” Winnie looked serious. “Are you doing something bad behind my back?”

“No!”

Alger sighed speechlessly. Winnie’s gaze seemed to be saying that if he nodded, she would immediately report him in the cause of justice.

“Someone at the Youssie Corporation is my friend. I asked him to pay in advance, and there’s some money I indeed won before. That’s why I’m capable of buying you these things.”

Alger glanced at Winnie a bit guiltily as he thought about other explanations in his mind.

Luckily, Winnie believed him and didn’t continue questioning him. Seeing this, Alger was finally relieved.

“Didn’t you say that work is getting very busy right now?” Alger changed the subject.

“Right, by the way, I asked you to help me talk to your friend. Have you talked to him?” Winnie nodded and looked at Alger. “This matter will be easy to deal with with the help from someone at the Youssie Corporation.”

“Don’t worry. How could I possibly not put your words on my mind? I’ve already talked to him about it, and he’s started looking into the other party,” Alger said.

“That’s great! Thank you, Alger!” Winnie was relieved and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

“It’s fine. Your business is also my business. Let’s go home.” Alger tentatively tried to hold Winnie’s hand. This time, Winnie didn’t dodge!

This made Alger extremely excited in his mind. The two of them were finally getting closer slowly!

“Buzz, buzz…”

Suddenly, Winnie’s phone rang. She took it out and found that Alina was calling.

“What’s wrong?” Winnie picked up the call. “Why are you still up this late?”

“How could I be able to sleep?”

Even without turning on the speaker, Alger could hear the sound of Alina complaining on the other side of the call. Winnie glanced at Alger apologetically.

“I’m frustrated to death right now. My mom wants me to meet with her friend’s son. Doesn’t it mean that they want to match us together?” Alina said anxiously, “What do you think I should do?”

“Why don’t you just reject it directly?” Winnie frowned and said.

“That’s easy for you to say. If it’s really that simple, I wouldn’t be calling you now.” Alina said in dissatisfaction, “My mom keeps asking me to meet that guy. Besides, you know, this person is the son of my mom’s best friend. I don’t want to make the atmosphere too awkward. What should I do?”

After hearing this on the side, Alger said casually, “Isn’t it simple? Wouldn’t the problem be resolved if Alina tells her family that she’s seeing someone now?”

Perhaps the surrounding was too quiet, so what Alger said went into Alina’s ear clearly.

“Winnie, why would that guy be with you? Are you…”

There was a hint of curiosity in Alina’s words. Were Alger and Winnie sleeping in the same bed already?!

How could Winnie not understand what Alina meant? She quickly said with a flushed face, “Don’t think too much. We’ve just finished eating at my mom’s and are on the way home.”

“She isn’t anxious about tomorrow now,” Alger said with amusement.

“Hm, of course I’m anxious, but where can I find a boyfriend all of a sudden?” Alina said with dissatisfaction. Even though what Alger said was a solution, the premise was that she needed to have a boyfriend!

“Isn’t that easy? Just find a random person who’s chasing after you to pretend to be your boyfriend,” Alger said again.

:Right, Alina, I think what Alger said is a solution. You should try it.” Winnie nodded and said, “If you have a boyfriend, your mom wouldn’t force you to meet that guy anymore, would she?”

“But this is already settled…” Alina sighed and said speechlessly.

“Then, you can only do something bad from that guy’s perspective and make him back out.” Alger then said.

“Right!”

Alina came to realization and said excitedly, “That is a good idea. I should directly bring someone to meet that guy. After knowing that I’m seeing someone, that guy will know how to reject my mom!

“I didn’t know that Alger still has a brain. Help me thank him!”

After saying these words, Alina quickly hung up the call, leaving Winnie and Alger to look at each other.

Winnie shook her head speechlessly. She looked at Alger with a blushed face and said, “Let’s… go home…”

Alger’s heart started racing. If she wanted to go home, then they should go home.. Why was Winnie’s blushing?
