Liam pointed out, “Mom, Sasha’s not bluffing. Carlson Pharmacy is a listed company which has a
market value of over one billion and it’s still increasing. There’s no way you can have something like
that but you can still have one with multiple franchised stores albeit on a smaller scale.”
Helen quizzed, “Can it be done? How small do you mean? Sasha, we would rather stay idle at home
than having a small-scale business!”
Sasha was helpless. All in all, her parents wanted to have a chain of franchised pharmacy stores purely
for vanity reasons. However, it seemed like she could no longer express her objection to the plan at
that juncture. At the same time, she thought about the two advantages of opening the pharmacy stores
—firstly, it was highly unlikely that anything could go wrong with it and secondly, the business wasn’t
likely to incur much loss too.
Hence, Sasha nodded her head and declared, “Well, let’s start a chain of multiple franchised stores
then. I’ll allocate ten million from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals as the seed money for the business.”
Helen looked displeased to hear that. “Ten million is too little. We were given thirty million to work on
Wellness Herbary back then!”
Sasha explained herself eagerly, “Mom, that’s only the seed money. When the business gets better, I’ll
then allocate more investment on it.”
Helen glanced at James, who nodded his head to approve the idea despite still looking sullen. The
saga was finally put to an end with Sasha’s allocation of ten million for them to initiate the pharmacy
stores. Even with that, James was still angry with Sasha judging from how he stormed out of her office
furiously.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
After walking them to the door, Sasha faced Matthew with an apologetic look. “Matthew, I’m sorry about
what they did to you…”
Matthew waved his hands at her and muttered, “I told you before not to apologize to me. You will have
my support no matter what you do!”
Feeling warm from within, Sasha wrapped her hands around Matthew tightly and rested her head on
his shoulder, feeling as though she was having the entire world in her arms. Matthew felt thrilled deep
down inside because it was the first time that Sasha hugged him.
However, the silence was soon broken when someone knocked on the door. She quickly loosened her
hold from him with her face still flushed. Having tried hard to regain composure, she uttered in a gentle
voice, “Come in!”
Her secretary pushed the door open and stepped inside. “President Cunningham, I’ve sorted out the
conference room and the meeting will start in ten minutes as per your instructions. Can I help you with
anything else?”
Sasha nodded at her and said, “Well done! I have nothing for you at the moment and you may go
ahead and work on something else first!”
After the secretary walked out of her office, Sasha couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw how
reluctant Matthew appeared to leave.
“Oh come on, I have serious work to get back to,” Sasha cooed as she grabbed one of his arms.
Putting on a feign miserable look, Matthew retorted, “Aren’t we doing serious work right now?”
Sasha gave him a supercilious glance before saying, “Of course nothing can be as important as our
own matters! But, I really have work to do now. I’ll make up to you next time!”
It was only then did Matthew nod his head with a grin. “By the way, Sasha, what should we do with the
300 million?”
“You keep it! Didn’t I tell you before? The money is all yours. You can deal with it in any way you want
and you don’t have to get my permission!”
Matthew rectified her in a gentle voice, “Of course I have to get your permission before I do anything
with the money, because you’re my wife.”
Sasha smiled bemusedly and remarked, “You’re really a fool. Well, just keep it with you first and the
money will become our private fund. Is that a good idea?”
Matthew nodded at her with a subtle smile. Just as Sasha was ready to walk out of her room after
gathering some files for the meeting, she suddenly queried, “By the way, how did you actually become
the head of a department at the hospital?”
Matthew chuckled and responded, “The director made me an exception to the general rules by
promoting me to the position because of my superb medical skills!”
Sasha burst out laughing immediately when she heard him. She stretched out a hand and poked a
finger at his forehead before she criticized, “You’ve never been serious in answering me! Well, I’m off to
attend the meeting. Please wait for me to have dinner together later!” With that, she turned around and
headed to the door. However, she suddenly swung around when she reached the exit.
From there, she scurried back to Matthew, stood on tiptoe to give him a peck on his cheek before
leaving the room with her face going blushed. Matthew was elated at once!
Soon after, he received a call from Tiger. “Mr. Larson, something bad has happened!”
