After packing up everything, Carolien went back to the room to change and get ready to go home.

Noticing that she didn't even look at him when he spoke, Elijah felt very

depressed. "I was just asking casually, why is she making such a big deal out of it?"

As he watched her put all her cosmetics into her bag, zip it up, and get ready to leave at a moment's notice, he couldn't help but sigh. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, and let out a rare slow breath.

"Why are you angry with me? I didn't mean anything else. I was wrong. I shouldn't have insulted your sincere gesture, okay?"

"Hmph!"

Carolien pouted. She was still a little upset.

He turned her around and gave her a tight hug. "Don't be angry. You can punish me. What do you want?"

Carolien lifted her eyelids and muttered, "Anything?"

Sure enough!

Everything boiled down to this.

With a nod, the expression in Elijah's eyes turned slightly cold. "I can do whatever you want." Money, cars, houses. As long as it wasn't too much, he would agree. "Come and see me for three consecutive days for at least half an hour!"

"What?" He couldn't believe his ears. Elijah stared at her for three seconds. This wasn't the request he was expecting.

"You can't even do that? I just want you to go to Misty's and sit down!"

She was giving him an easy way out. What else could he ask for when she was already asking for something so simple? This was because her goal had never been materialistic. From start to finish, she never pined after anything from him.

All she wanted was to dance on stage. This was a good chance for him to come along and hype up the nightclub. As long as things went well, the other customers would realize this and business would become easier down the road.

She was just about to say if he couldn't make it, she was okay with Hudson coming instead. Just as she parted her lips, his adoring voice answered her.

"All right!"

Pinching her chin, Elijah lowered his head and coaxed, "I'll remember to visit you when I'm free! Don't be angry, hm?"

With his promise, Carolien felt more soothed. Feeling in a better mood, she smiled faintly. "Okay!"
