The Charismatic Charlie Wade

At this moment, the gleeful Jacob said, “Oh yes, dear, give me twenty grand. I want to have a get-together tomorrow.”

“A get-together?” Elaine asked nervously, “Why do you need twenty grand for a get-together?! Did you invite the president?”

“I joined the Aurous Calligraphy and Painting Association, I’ve told you that, remember? Now, there’s a vacancy for the executive director of the association and I want it! So, I’d like to invite the chairman and other directors to dinner to enhance our relationship.”

Elaine shouted angrily, “Are you crazy? Why do you need twenty grand for dinner? Do you really think we own a money printer at home? No, I don’t allow you to!”

Jacob hurriedly said, “Oh, dear, I just want to climb the ladder one step at a time! Once I become the director, I will have more opportunities to get in touch with the rare and precious antiques and there will be chances for me to grab treasures at bargain prices! You’ve seen how good I am at this, I’ve made hundreds of thousands with the same tactic!”
