Chapter 22:
“Truston this, Alexander. This enigmatic CEO is definitely into golf. My friend is tight with him, and he even
promised to make introductions later. Let's just pick out a club.”
Alexander’s uncertainty lingered as he followed Joyce into the shop, his confidence buoyed by her evident
assurance.
“What do you think of this one?” Joyce paused before a golf club, beckoning him closer.
Peering at the price tag, Alexander saw the figure: eight thousand dollars. The amount struck him as too modest.
For the CEO of Elite Lux, such a modestly priced gift might not even merit a second glance.
Yet Joyce, radiating satisfaction, countered his concerns.
“Do you realize how tough it is to earn a buck these days? Besides, my friend is setting up this meeting. We
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon’t need to splurge on a gift. The CEO of Elite Lux already has more than enough. It's our sincerity that will
resonate with him, not the price tag.”
Her words did little to assuage Alexander’s discomfort. The cost of the gift wasn’t merely about the money—it
was a testament to their regard for the recipient.
Despite his reservations, Joyce's optimism was infectious.
“This is it. It's absolutely perfect!”

Her smile broadened, touched by a spark of anticipation. Recent events had cast a shadow over both their
families, and Joyce was intent on mending fences and gaining Alexander's esteem.
“Truston this, Alexander. My friend won't let you down. Once we meet, all you need to do is focus on your
proposal. It'll go smoothly, | promise!”
Alexander gazed at Joyce's self-assured expression with a hint of uncertainty.
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!” Joyce responded with a vigorous nod, her eyes gleaming with conviction.
As Alexander handled the payment, Joyce lingered by his side, her brow furrowed in mild frustration.
“Why even go through with this, Alexander? It's simply throwing money away. In today’s world, it's not what you
know, but who you know. Havingby your side should suffice. Why lavish money on such trivialities? Just have
the staff at the golf shop package it nicely. I'm not demanding like that spoiled Daniela.”
With these words, Joyce's face lit up with a smug triumph, her demeanor dripping with disdain. She radiated an
air of superiority, as if she stood leagues above Daniela.
Joyce believed this demonstration of frugality would convince Alexander of her worthiness as a partner, perhaps
even leading him to propose.
Alexander, meanwhile, brought the golf club home.
A look of stunned incredulity washed over Richard's face the instant he noticed the price tag.

“You're not seriously thinking of gifting this to the CEO of Elite Lux, are you?”
Alexander tried to clarify his intentions, but Richard burst into scornful laughter.
“That cheap, penny-pinching mindset runs so deep in Joyce, it's pathetic. She's leagues behind Daniela.
Remember the last golf club Daniela presented? It was leagues beyond this! And now you plan to offer this
worthless stick to the CEO of Elite Lux? Alexander, you're not seriously trying to embarrass yourself, are you?”
Even Alexander had to admit the gift, Joyce's recommendation, coff as slightly unimpressive.
