Taming The CEO's Tempting Wife
Chapter 3 - Aftermath
Kingsley Greendale, born on the same day as me, we were known as the non-biological twins of high society for a while.
We've been inseparable since we got introduced to each other when we were six and to this day, we still share the same strong friendship as back then.
However now, Kingsley's responsibilities are more like a mother hen than a friend.
Kingsley Greendale
Your earnings tonight?
Leah Lancaster
Rounding it down to 540,000.
Kingsley Greendale
So, we have 10%, which is 54,000, donated to the orphanage, 23%, which is... um...
Kingsley Greendale
Right. I forgot that I'm best friends with a human calculator.
Leah Lancaster
Don't flatter me, you know it goes to my head.
Kingsley Greendale
Anyway, where were we?
Kingsley Greendale
Right, 50% to that new special needs school that just opened up, which is- wait, don't tell me...
Kingsley Greendale
290,000!
Leah Lancaster
Close. 270,000.
Kingsley Greendale
Urgh, 20,000 off. I was close though.
Leah Lancaster
Yes, you were.
Kingsley Greendale
And the rest, we'll throw them into the hotpot.
The hotpot was a random charity generator which I created the algorithm for back when I was in high school.
Whenever I had money that needed to be donated, I'd just keep on looking through the hotpot until I finally found the charity to donate to.
Kingsley Greendale
And you and me will take our 1% commission.
Kingsley Greendale
5,400, in our pockets.
Kingsley Greendale
I feel wrong everytime, taking that 1%. I barely do anything!
Leah Lancaster
That's not true. You keep the masses from creating a stampede.
Leah Lancaster
Besides, I need you there as moral support!
Kingsley Greendale
I guess that I am a very supportive friend.
Leah Lancaster
That you are!
King and I have been through tough times. His parents passed away suddenly from illnesses around the same time period, and it was a devastating time for him.
I was there for him when he needed me the most, and he was there when my stepmother died.
We're like siblings from different families.
As the taxi pulled up to my house, my smile suddenly disappeared.
Kingsley Greendale
What's wrong?
Kingsley peered out of the window and sure enough, he saw what I was not happy about.
Around five Rolls Royce, a limousine, and a porsche, and a BMW were all parked at the front of my house, and it seems like they were waiting for one person to return home; me.
What does that old man need of me now?
Kingsley Greendale
Do you want me to come in with you?
I looked at Kingsley and fell back in my chair, giving out a dramatic sigh.
Leah Lancaster
No. It's probably nothing.
Kingsley Greendale
I know when you lie, you know.
Leah Lancaster
I have a tell?
Kingsley Greendale
Well, most people don't notice it, but I do.
Kingsley Greendale
I won't come in there if you don't want me to, but at least call me when it's all over.
Leah Lancaster
I will. Thank you so much!
He smiled innocently and purely, like he always did.
Kingsley Greendale
It's no problem. I'll call you later on tonight, okay?
Waving him away, I turned on my fighting face.
The only reason why the elders of the family would all be gathered here today is for an important announcement.
And I'm the one who the announcement is probably about, considering I was never informed of any sort of meeting.
Leah Lancaster
It doesn't matter. Either way, I won't let them push me around.
