âWhat? You want 100% shares? No way, 70% is the maximum.â
âDeal.â
âYouâ¦?â
Alex said with a smile, âGrandma, the contract with Waylon Realty will be presented to you by
tomorrow noon. Please get the equity contract of the subsidiary company in City South ready as well.
Itâs a deal. Goodbye, Grandma. I wonât be sending you off.â
After leaving the villa, Madame Joanne lamented loudly while beating her chest and stamping her feet,
âBrute! He is such a brute! What have the Assexes done to deserve this!â
Meanwhile, inside the villa, Madame Claire asked with a frown, âAre you insane, Dorothy? How could
you compare the 70% of subsidiary company shares in City South and the 10% shares from Assex
Constructions? The difference is just too much. Also, the position of general manager at the
headquarters is much more important. You are losing the big prize while grabbing trifles.â
Dorothy shook her head and said, âMom, itâs not easy to be a general manager in the headquarter.
Thereâs CEO and deputy CEO, the general manager is just a puppet whose role is strenuous and
unrewarding. Besides that, we are not even sure if we can successfully get the 10% shares of Assex
Constructions. Whatâs the point if we manage to get the shares but we canât do anything about them?â
Madame Claire said, âThatâs true, Madame Joanne is too smart! By the way, how did you come across
Charles? Did you really have dinner together earlier?â
Dorothy said, âI donât know him, but Alex does. Alex has helped a lot this time.â
With that, she sat on the couch. âOuch! My feet are very sore after walking so much today!â
She looked at Alex as she massaged her feet.
Burst with excitement, Alex said as he walked toward Dorothy, âLet me help you, Dorothy.â
Without waiting for Dorothyâs approval, he took the seat beside Dorothy and placed her fair feet on his
laps, and then began to gently massage one of her feet.
Before marriage when they were still dating in university, Alex often helped Dorothy to massage her
feet⦠Dorothyâs feet were of US 5.5 shoe size. Those fair, tender feet were small and exquisite with
appealing, slender toes â the quality was the best of the best.
Alex said as he massaged her feet, âDorothy, youâve been wearing high heels quite often recently, so
thatâs the reason for poor blood circulation in your feet. Anyway, Iâll help to give you a foot massage
every day and I promise youâll get better.â
As he said that, he applied an aura and began to stimulate her blood circulation using a very unique
technique.
Dorothy comfortably leaned on the couch as she enjoyed the process.
Alex was very happy too.
After ten months, their relationship finally had a breakthrough and seemed to have improved.
At this moment, Claire also took a seat next to them. She placed both of her feet on the tea table and
said, âHey Alex, after youâre done with Dorothy, help and massage my feet too. My feet are sore too
these two days.â
âWhat? You want me to massage your feet?â
Alex was shocked with his lips trembling a little.
He was willing to massage Dorothyâs feet as he loved her. However, as for Claire, she was not tactful
enough.
Claire said, âWhat now? Just give me a massage. Iâm your mom, canât you even show a bit of filiality?
Otherwise, why do I even need a son-in-law?â
Dorothy said softly, âAlex, just give a massage to my mom for a short while. Youâre really good at
massage and itâs really comfortable.â
Alex felt helpless and thought, âThat was because Iâm worried that she would feel too comfortable and
ask me to massage her feet every day. What should I do when it comes to that?â
Fortunately, Claire looked like a 30-year-old beautiful madame instead of those old ladies with stinky
feet. Her feet were slightly bigger in size than Dorothy, with her toes painted with red nail polish but the
remaining features were almost the same.
âHey Alex, since youâre so close to the boss of Waylon Realty, why donât we get Waylon Realty to buy
all the construction materials from our subsidiary company in City South? In that case, wonât we make
a lot of profit?â Claire asked as she enjoyed the massage.
Alex knew Claire very well as she was a greedy person. Thus, he quickly said, âIâm not certain. Mr.
Carter only offers a one-time favor and it might not even work after this.â
Indeed, Claireâs facial expression changed immediately and she snorted, âHmph! So, itâs just a one-
time favor? I thought you will be able to make a good pile of money this time! Hurry up! Massage
harder! Ouch! Too hard! Are you trying to kill me?â
At this moment, Cheryl called.
