Chapter 1675: You Only Have Three Chances

After discussing Caroline Gower’s situation with Anthony, Alice Turner kicked him out of her office. She still had important business to attend to, which was to call Thomas Fisher and tell him what had just happened.

When Alice Turner called, Thomas Fisher was in a meeting. He couldn’t take the time to say anything to his subordinates who were reporting, so he grabbed his phone and walked out of the conference room.

Alice Turner generally wouldn’t call him at this time unless it was something important.

“What’s up?”

As soon as Thomas Fisher stepped out of the conference room, he immediately answered the call. His first words were a concerned inquiry.

Even over the phone, Alice Turner could feel Thomas Fisher’s anxiety. A mischievous thought arose in her mind, and in a sweet, gentle voice, she said, “I miss you.”

This, this…

Of course, it was nice that she missed him, but it really wasn’t something she would typically say or do.

Thomas Fisher became even more certain something was up with Alice Turner. His tone grew more serious, “What’s really going on? Tell me quickly.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, but usually, she was always so ‘proper’ with him.

“I really just miss you. What more do you want me to say? I love you?” Alice Turner ignored Thomas Fisher’s worry and serious tone, continuing to speak in a playful voice, holding back a naughty smile on her face.

Though her manner made his heart race and was wonderful, it wasn’t normal for her, absolutely not!

Thomas Fisher was now certain that Alice Turner was acting out of character, and since she was being so playful, he decided to return the favor, “I’m listening for three words from you. Go ahead.”

If she said those three words to him daily, he would never get tired of it. Given her rare initiative to say them, he was more than happy to fulfill her wish.

“In your dreams!”

Alice Turner replied with three words, but not the ones the man wanted to hear or liked hearing.

This was exactly his wife!

Thomas Fisher chuckled, “Not those three words. It seemed like you were about to say something other than those three words.”

His wife, in such a good mood joking with him, must have experienced something delightful.

Since she wasn’t in a hurry to tell him, he was comfortable waiting. After all, he wasn’t in a hurry to hang up.

If the people in the conference room knew their boss was like this, who knows what they would think?

“Not those three words? So what was I going to say?” Alice Turner pretended to be clueless, struggling hard not to laugh, finding it really hard to hold back. “Pfft!”

In the end, she couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

Hearing her laughter, Thomas Fisher became even more convinced Alice Turner had some good news to share, with his smile becoming even broader. “Wife! What great news did you get today that’s making you so happy? Can you share it with your husband?”

Being this overly happy was unusual. It must be something major, and he insisted on hearing it.

“Guess! If you guess right, there’s a reward. If not, you’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.” Alice Turner quickly put away her smile, deliberately putting on a stern face, challenging Thomas Fisher to guess.

Just when he thought he was finally going to hear it, he realized he’d have to guess, with rewards for getting it right and a penalty for getting it wrong.

The punishment of sleeping on the sofa, wasn’t that a bit too harsh? They were newlyweds, still in their honeymoon phase, weren’t they?

Thomas Fisher was feeling uneasy, just about to make a guess when Alice Turner’s voice came again from the phone, “You only have three chances, make them count.”
