Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 10 A Quick Marriage

Alistair answered the phone with obvious irritation. "What?"

The caller seemed startled by his tone and responded timidly, "Hello, Alistair."

The voice on the phone wasn't Rebecca's.

"Who is this?" Alistair asked, confused.

"It's Vivienne," she replied with a light laugh. "We've met before."

Alistair immediately placed her. Vivienne was one of Rebecca's best friends.

Rebecca had two close friends-Anne and Vivienne.

Anne was... Well, he didn't really want to talk about her. But Vivienne was different. She was cut from a completely different cloth than Rebecca and Anne. Actually, she had decent values. Alistair still remembered how she'd come to his defense once when Rebecca was giving him a hard time.

"Can I help you with something?" he asked cautiously.

If she was calling about Rebecca, he'd hang up immediately and block her number.

It occurred to Alistair that if he really wanted to cut ties with Rebecca completely, he should change his phone number. He'd do that first thing after getting out of bed.

"Well," Vivienne said, sounding a bit embarrassed, "I was hoping you could do me a favor."

"What kind of favor?"

Nothing could have prepared Alistair for her request-she wanted him to come over and cook a meal at her place.

As it turned out, her mother, Miranda Everett, had undergone surgery to remove uterine fibroids. During a visit, Rebecca had brought some chicken noodle soup.

Miranda, who'd had no appetite since the surgery, suddenly found herself hungry again. She couldn't stop talking about it afterward, claiming it was the best chicken noodle soup she'd ever tasted and that it reminded her of childhood.

However, it was actually Alistair who made that soup himself. Though Miranda couldn't stop thinking about it, she felt too awkward to ask for it again.

Tomorrow was Miranda's birthday, and Vivienne suddenly thought of that chicken noodle soup while brainstorming unique gift ideas. Worried he might refuse, she quickly added, "Don't worry, I wouldn't expect you to do this for nothing. I'll pay you. How about 100 thousand dollars to make one dinner?"

As a wealthy heiress, Vivienne didn't think twice about spending

100 thousand dollars just so her mom could taste that soup she'd been craving.

Getting paid that much for cooking one meal was clearly a sweet deal for Alistair, though money wasn't exactly tight for him these days.

Since becoming the female CEO's kept man, his monthly allowance had reached one million dollars. To put it bluntly,

During his six years with Rebecca, the only skill he'd truly developed was his increasingly impressive cooking.

Alistair considered the request carefully.
