In Love, Never Say Never

“There’s a lot that you don’t know. Money is never enough. It’s nothing wrong to have investments here and there if we have extra money in hand. In fact, it’s important to segregate our money to prevent losing everything at the same time if any hiccups occur.” She paused and turned to look at me. With a stern look, she advised me, “You must remember that nothing in this world is forever, except money. As assertive modern women, we can only be independent if we have money in hand!”

She sounded as ambitious as any other business elite in town. I could even foresee a successful entrepreneur right in front of me!

As for me, I could only try my best to strike a balance between the money invested and profit gained for the law firm. Emery had different investments ever since her divorce. Her net worth had multiplied significantly with time. It was undeniable that one’s success in the business sector was closely related to one’s potential and capability.

I truly agreed with her point of view and nodded before I entered the washroom.

Before bedtime, I spent some time to search online for the charity auction to have a better overview of the points that I should pay attention to.

Feeling more relieved after the search, I drifted to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, Emery was gone. She left me a note saying that she went sightseeing to relax her mind. I was not sure if she was trying to avoid Alexander, or she really intended to have a leisure session as mentioned in her note.

The charity auction was scheduled at six in the evening. At half-past five, a car arrived to pick me up from the hotel.
