Chapter 14: 14- List

"Honey. I don't understand what you are doing in Kanderton," Rafael could almost imagine Valerie talking to him with a pout.

"The office needs me, V. I'm here to solve some issues," he tried explaining to her gently.

"And what will I do without you, my dear husband?" Rafael stopped himself from rolling his eyes and said Valerie's favorite lines. 

"I know, honey. I miss you too. Why don't you go shopping? I left behind my credit card. Or you can use yours. Go for a girls' date or invite your friends for a stayover," he had hit the right nerve when she cried in excitement.

"Really? You are too sweet!" she whooped, and Rafael just couldn't wait to disconnect the call. 

Valerie was fond of inviting over her friends that used to give her a chance to show off her wealth.

"What was your wife saying?" Joseph asked his friend who was looking at Kanderton City through the glass wall.
