“Alexander, what’s the matter? You seem distracted. Getty had been sitting in the ear for a while, noticing that he had already smoked two cigarettes, yet they hadn’t moved from the parking spot.

Alexander took the last drag from his cigarette and tuned to look at Getty.

“Feeling better?” he asked.

“Yes, thank goodness it’s nothing serious,” Getty responded, still a bit upset that the situation had escalated so quickly that she hadn’t had the chance to properly deal with it. “I’m not really in the mood right now. What do you want to eat?” Alexander rubbed his temples, looking

z worn out.

Getty eyed him curiously. “What’s going on? Did something, happen at work?” “Just a bit of trouble.” Alexander replied, starting the co

and pulling out of the parking lot.

Getty, more a nominal secretary than an actual assistant in Alexander’s company, was paid but largely uninformed about the specifics of his business.

She wanted to offer comfort but wasn’t sure how, so she chose to remain silent. Pulling out her phone, Getty started playing a game. When boredom struck at work, gaming was her escape. Her current obsession was “Dragon Vein Street,” a game into which she had heavily invested.

Last month, in a bid to outdo the second-highest spender in the game, Getty had spent over five million on “Dragon Vein Street, all on Alexander’s credit card.

He had given her a supplementary card with practically no spending limit, except that purchases over ten million required a prior notification.

Usually, he had no objections to her expenses. “Hey, Alexander, they’re casting real people for a New Year’s promotional video for the game-I want toaudition,” Getty said, excitement tinting her voice.

“Mhm,” Alexander replied, his voice faint as he gripped the steering wheel.

Getty thought, “Could you help me get in touch with them? They wouldn’t dare turn down your referral.” She adored the game and saw becoming the face of the promotional campaign as a tremendous

opportunity.

Her guild friends already dubbed her the “rich girl. If she could star in the advertisement, every player would recognize her not just as wealthy, but as strikingly beautiful. The thought of the adoration she’d receive made her giggle with delight.

Alexander, who always catered to Getty’s wishes, would naturally not refuse such a request.

Truth be told, many of his friends couldn’t fathom his fondness for Getty. She wasn’t particularly

intelligent or graceful; she often seemed bratty and presumptuous.

She had many flaws and was just pretty-there were plenty more out there prettier than her. Yet, some believed Alexander loved Getty for who she was-flows and all, even her shallowness..Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

But only Getty knew the true nature of Alexander’s affection. She was careful not to overstep around him; her slightest intentions were transparent to him

Therefore, she acted exactly as expected, enjoying freedom within the boundaries he set. As soon as Getty expressed her desire to participate in the promotional video, Alexander promptly called his assistant to make the necessary arrangements.

At VX Games, the producers were surprised when they received an unexpected call that disrupted their plans.

“Seriously, why is Alexander meddling in this? Does he really need the cash?” Ellis wondered, puzzled by the sudden involvement.
