Chapter 990

"You've been so busy the whole day, Jamie. It seems like you're putting your work before Narissa! You should watch out—you don't want to lose your wife," Elise teased. Upon hearing her words, Zephyr curled his lips into a thoughtful smile. "The two of them are extremely in love. You're just overthinking it, Mrs. Griffith."

"How can you say that they're in love?" Elise asked in a flat voice. "Well, Miss Cuber looks…" Zephyr paused dramatically to stimulate everyone's imagination. "Miss Cuber looks like she's glowing."

Narissa was fuming. "You're trash! I'm going to stab you in the eyes if you mess around again!" He's in no position to tease me about my bedtime activities with my husband! "Evidence indicates that you don't have that ability to do so yet, Miss Cuber." Zephyr was unfazed.

"Well, you would've already been a cripple if you hadn't taken your medication the last two times!" An icy glint flashed in Narissa's eyes.

"Well, there are no 'what ifs' in this world," Zephyr replied.

"It's not too late for me to do something now!" Narissa hissed. A look of rage surfaced in both of their eyes. Jamie hastily dragged Zephyr away when he saw this. "Hey, Doc, I'm running late. Let's go!" One was his wife, while the other was the doctor that he employed—Jamie would have to deal with their emotions if either one of them lost an argument against the other. Jamie, therefore, decided that it was best if he left.

"Jamie!" Narissa could clearly tell what Jamie was trying to do, so she stomped her foot on the ground. "Yeah! I heard you, darling!" Jamie pretended not to understand what she was hinting at. "I'll pick you up tonight. Bye! I love you!" Then, Jamie hurried away while pushing Zephyr out the door with him.

Elise noticed that something was wrong when she connected the dots with Narissa's behavior earlier. "You're acting weird. What did Zephyr do to you?"

"That guy is just faking chivalry! He's all shallow and nasty on the inside! His head is filled with perverted stuff!" Narissa complained angrily. "I'm not sure about that. He must have some good traits considering that he helped us deal with both our men." Elise was more rational in her analysis.

"Whose side are you on, Elise?" Narissa was fuming.

"Me? I stand on the side of logic," Elise replied.

Narissa held onto Elise's arm and swung her from left to right while throwing a tantrum. "Aren’t we best friends?!" she wailed.

"Fine, fine." Elise couldn't resist the woman's whiny voice, so she gave up on her stance in an instant. "I'll help you, okay? Since you're here and since Alexander's business partner offered him two tickets to a magic show, why don't you go watch it with me?"

"Let's go!" Narissa replied. After Elise got changed, the two women headed out. It was Clement and Raymond's job to protect Elise, so they took another car and tagged along behind the two women. Elise's phone rang while they were driving, and she pulled it out to see that it was a call from Alexander. "What is it?" she asked after pressing the phone against her ear.

"You didn't use the two magic show tickets that I brought home last night, did you?" Alexander asked.

"Narissa and I just decided to head out to watch the show. Is anything the matter?" Elise shot Narissa a glance.

"My men told me that Owen is making his way to the stadium, and I recall that the magic show is going to be held at the same place. I don't think this is a coincidence, and I'm afraid that Owen might have set this up for a reason. I don't think you should go." Alexander didn't want Elise to take the risk.

However, Elise didn't agree with him. "If he really wanted to do something to me, he had a better chance of doing it in the café. It seems like Owen has no intention to harm my reputation. If he really went through all that effort just to set this up, then I should show up and take a look just to make sure that his efforts don't go to waste, don't you think?" Elise uttered.

"You're not wrong, but I just think it's better to be careful." Alexander was still rather hesitant. "Don't worry. Clement and Raymond are around, and I'm going with Narissa. I'll be fine," Elise replied. She had a feeling that Owen would be a breakthrough in the long tug-of-war that was going on. She was eager for something to happen so that she could get to the end of this all.
