Chapter 88 - Ch 88 : Business Talk (1)

Ray almost splurted blood when he heard those kinds of words from Elin.

He actually wanted to say he had Big Sis, but when he saw the eyes which the two women looked at him, he felt like the words were stuck on his throat.

" Umm.. can we talk about it another time?" Ray tried to shift the subject.

Fortunately, at this time, the people they had waited for came, and Ray was relieved from this awkward situation.

" Ellen, sorry to make you wait! the road was pretty congested these days. *Sigh* The government should have moved the capital of Indonesia to another place!"

A beautiful woman about the age of Ellen came. She was dressed in LV brand dress and brought a Dior bag in her hand.

Ray wasn't sure whether the woman just deliberately ignoring him or not, but she just passed through him without even greeting him and sat next to Ellen.

" So, is this your new lovers? Why don't I introduce you to another one? This guy looks so basic."

Yup, this woman was definitely ignoring her, Ray thought.

Even from the tone she used to speak, Ray could already see that this woman was despising him.

Nonetheless, Ray was not that petty to take this offense to his heart. He knew that this woman was disrespecting him because she thought that Ray was leeching of Ellen.

" That's not it Alyssa.. Ray is not my lover."

Even though she said it like this, Ellen's eyes kept glancing in Ray's direction, trying to measure his reaction.

But she only had disappointment when she saw that Ray didn't seem to give any care about it.

" Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. So tell me, why are you asking me to come to this restaurant?"

" Hehe, don't be hurried. I promise that you will be satisfied with the thing I brought."

Ellen stopped talking and only smirked mysteriously, making the woman even more curious.

Nevertheless, Ellen had no intention to reveal the thing now. She was an experienced businesswoman, and she knew that woman's curiosity was something that she could exploit.

The dinner continued as Ellen introduced Alyssa to Ray and Elin. Alyssa seemed to have no issue with Elin as Ellen had already told her about Elin before., but she always had that wary look against Ray.

Ray could only shake his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything to explain the misunderstanding to Alyssa. Trying to explain it to her would only make her become even more suspicious, and it was also not Ray's business.

The waiter brought the food that Ellen had ordered, and the group of four began to eat.

In the meantime, Alyssa and Ellen chatted like an old friend while Ray and Elin could only eavesdrop from the side.

" By the way, Ellen, how is your husband? He seemed to be a pretty good man. I don't understand why you decided to cheat on someone like him."

The "Him" on this sentence was definitely Ray. Alyssa didn't seem to believe that Ray got nothing to do with Ellen and kept attacking Ray all along.

" I have told you that Ray is not my lover Alyssa. And you might not see it right now, but Ray is definitely better than my ex-husband."

" Yeah-yeah, like I'll believe what you say."

Alyssa rolled her eyes. She was also a woman, and she definitely felt that there was something between Ray and Ellen.

However, she decided to stop asking about Ray and just stay silent. Something was better to be kept as a secret, and she didn't want to indulge in the secret love life of her old friend.

" Then, can we enter the main business now? I have another appointment in one hour?"

Alyssa was starting to get impatient. Don't tell me that her old friend called her here just to introduce Alyssa to the new lover, she thought.

But Ellen always had that smug smile on her face, and that somehow made Alyssa very curious.

Ellen also knew that it was time for her to stop joking around.

Her expression turned serious, and she took out a small lunch box from her bag.

The lunch box lid was opened, and it revealed the small pudding inside.

The pudding looked very delicious, but Alyssa's eyes were full of questions as if saying, "are you serious?"

" Ellen, you couldn't be serious, right? You call me to this place just to give me this pudding?"

" Hehe, don't ask. Just sit there and try the pudding first. I promise that you would definitely like it."

" Humph, just because you say it."

Even though Alyssa had some doubt on her mind, she still decided to trust Ellen.

She and Ellen was good friend, and even if all of this was a scam, she didn't regret coming here and meeting Ellen.

Alyssa took a spoonful of pudding and brought it closer to her mouth.

She kept observing the pudding, and other than it looked a little bit delicious, there was nothing special about it.

But everything changed when Alyssa eventually put the pudding inside her mouth.

BOOMM!!

All the freshness of the fruit was combined into one and Alyssa felt like her eyes had just been opened.

All the dessert she ate so far was trash compared to this one spoon of pudding, and she couldn't help but want for more.

But the thing that made Alyssa surprised was the fact that the scariest thing about this pudding was not the taste.

Just when the pudding entered her body, Alyssa could feel her body slightly go warm.

An influx of energy came into her body, and Alyssa felt like some of her old injuries had been recovered.

" This... no way."

Alyssa looked at Ellen, full of disbelief.

What the heck did she just eat? Even some small healing potions didn't have this efficiency.

" So, are you impressed now?"

" Yeah, yeah. Please tell me!"

Alyssa's eyes were very eager. She might not look like it, but Alyssa was the family head of one of the top ten families in Jakarta.

She was used to many special things, but this pudding was definitely one of a kind. If she could gain more access to something like this, her family's power would be greatly enhanced and had a chance of breaking through the top five families.

Looking at Alyssa being like this, a proud smile appeared on Ellen's face.

( Huh, you just insult my Ray, saying that he is not worthy and all, but now you really look forward to hos product. Poor woman, you don't know what you had just missed.)

Ellen couldn't help the smile from appearing on her face when she imagined Alyssa's face when she eventually told the truth. Ellen took a deep breath, and only after she calmed down herself that she began to explain:

" Well, the pudding you have just eaten was definitely not an ordinary pudding. It was made with the combination of spirit strawberries, grape, and some other spiritual ingredients combined into one masterpiece. I actually want to tell you more about the pudding and the produce, but considering that you still have a meeting after this, maybe we should stop our conversation here."

Ellen acted like she was ready to leave, which made Alyssa very anxious.

Without wasting any more time, she quickly shouts to Ellen.

" Wait, don't leave! I don't care about the meeting. Just tell me more about the pudding!"

Yup, Alyssa was more anxious than ever. The opportunity was right in front of her, and she definitely couldn't let it fall to another family's hand.

Heck, even if she was to somehow throw her pride, she would still do it for this pudding.

The smile on Ellen's face became even wider. The momentum was now in her hand, and she surely would get a good deal out of this.

" Then, how about you meeting the maker of this pudding? I introduce you to the maker of this pudding here, my good friend, Ray Sandjaja."

Ray was almost choked when he heard his name was called by Ellen.

He was still enjoying the food with Elin, so he didn't really know what was going on.

But when he saw that Alyssa was somewhat looking at him with that strange and eager expression, Ray suddenly seemed to know what was going on.

He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and waved in Alyssa's direction.

On the other hand, Alyssa was more than shocked with this revelation.

The white man she thought as Ellen's secret lover before was actually such a good man, and she regretted it very much that she failed to make a good impression at Ray.

Nevertheless, when she saw that Ray could still smile at her, she felt like she still had the opportunity.

Alyssa looked at her own beautiful figure once and immediately made a resolve.

" Ray, can you discuss things with this big sis?"

Alyssa was not shy anymore and quickly come to Ray's side.

Ray's hand was trapped between Alyssa's boob and the distance between the two was now very close that Ray could feel Alyssa's breath on his ear.

Alyssa saw that Ray was blushing and thought that her plan might work. So without wasting any time, she threw the second round of her offensive.

" Ray, if you agree, then this big sis might give you a few bonuses. Of course you know what the bonuses are?"

Ray was a virgin. and something like this was a bit too much for him. He had almost got a nosebleed and fainted.. But fortunately, Ellen was there to save the day.
