“Ms. Doris just went for a house viewing. She had her eyes on a two-bedroom unit, but it costs 3,9million. She was cash-strapped and hoping to get some discounts. The saleswoman told her that shewas offering her the promotional price, but it couldn’t get any lower than that. So, Ms. Doris left.”
Waylon asked, “That’s it? Okay, let’s go.”

Benjamin replied, “I know. I guarantee you that I’ll settle it by this afternoon.”
Waylon nodded and said, “Very well, come over to Nightfall Cafe for lunch. I’ve told Emma about it.
“Alright,” Benjamin agreed, “I’ll bring some wine with me. See you soon.”
“Okay!”
Waylon ended the call.

Benjamin went back to his office.
As for Bowie and Kenny, the two went back to the Imperial Palace.
Waylon went home because he figured Doris should have gone home at this time.
As expected, when he entered the house, he saw her playing with the children in the living room.
Doris stood up and appeared awkward when she saw Waylon. She asked politely, “Hmm, Mr. Adelmar,are you feeling better now?”
Waylon replied coldly, “Yes, my medicine works wonders. You shouldn’t doubt its effectiveness.”
Doris sighed in relief, “That’s nice.”
She was still terrified when she recalled him being sick last night. She did not doubt that she wouldsuffer dire consequences for harming a prestigious man like him.
Waylon occupied the couch and asked icily, “How’s the house hunt going? Once you find a place, I’llhave someone help you move.”
Doris sniffed and lowered her head. In a soft, almost inaudible voice, she muttered, “I’m not beingstubborn to stay here. I have searched all morning and another two hours this afternoon, but I haven’tfound a suitable house.”
“Keep looking. What’s the point of dragging this out?”
Doris bit her lower lips and said. “I know. I even skipped lunch today. I’ve been working on this all day.If it weren’t for the kids, I would have kept looking till night.
“Have you eaten?”
Waylon glanced at her and spoke softly, “If you haven’t, I’ll ask Mrs. Jamison to cook something foryou. I don’t mind providing you with another meal or two.”
