My Wives Are Too Overpowered-Chapter 100 Overworked Nicole
The trivial thing of booking a venue was left to Linc. She was supposed to go to different five-star hotels and book a hall there. Alex had given her the list of hotels, so there was hardly any work.
Cultivating last night had helped Alex have a clearer memory of a few future events. There was something he was faintly able to recall and this thing was enough of a headline to summon a genius back to the states.
He still hasn't recalled it properly, but Alex felt the day he would recall it was getting closer.
Until then, Alex had to cultivate hard and focus on other things.
One of the few other things was getting a car.
Alex was currently in a car dealership and was buying a car once again.
He really needed a few cars to travel properly and the importance of it was known when his Urus got wrecked.
Nix took her Supra to travel around the city while there was just his parent's old Ford sitting in the garage, which was used by both of them to travel to work.
Melissa had to take cabs to travel or simply walk if the distance wasn't too far from home.
It was a hassle.
Alex signed a few documents and transferred money online. The registration and everything of the car was done right away and the dealership congratulated him and handed him the keys.
This new car was something Alex bought for Melissa, but would be using it for now.
It was a silver Mercedes-AMG GT with four doors. Great for travelling with people, and also matched her silver hair. Though, the color appeared rather dull in comparison to his wife's shiny silver hair.
Alex drove away from the dealership and headed to the city hospital where Nicole's cancer diagnosis was done.
It was not to see any patients or Nicole today, but to talk to the staff and get information on where he could buy equipment for his hospital.
While on his way there, Alex wondered how Nicole was faring off. Did she have the attack stopped that Alex told him about?
Alex was just a normal guy in his past life. There was no way he knew of fine details and couldn't help Nicole even if he wanted to. He just knew the surface level things and told Nicole about it.
Not keeping the curiosity to himself, Alex decided to give Nicole a call.
…
In a well illuminated office, Nicole was sitting and reading some papers. There was a big frown on her face and the slight dark circles under her eyes expressed that she hadn't been sleeping well either.
Ringgg…
At this time, her phone rang. It wasn't the office phone, but her personal one.
Checking to see who it was, her knitted brows eased as she saw the caller.
Picking the call up, Nicole asked in a tired tone, "Yes, Alex?"
She was working and didn't have time for idle chit-chat, thus went straight to the important topic.
"You seem tired, Miss—"
"Stop calling me Miss after everything that happened between us." Her brows were back to being knitted.
Alex's soft laughter resounded from the other side. "Right, right, sorry. How have you been? Has the scar gone?"
Nicole looked down as she heard that. The area where Alex had operated, it now had a really faint scar on it. The creams he had recommended helped in making them disappear.
In a few more days, the scar should be gone, thought Nicole.
"Thanks to you, I've been working day and night now." Nicole said something completely different than what was on her mind. be𝚍nove𝚕.com
She wasn't going to tell Alex she was grateful for him to treat her so well. She was a woman who spoke through her actions rather than words.
"Why? What happened?"
Alex sounded concerned on the phone and this made Nicole feel a bit of warmth.
Thinking of not making sarcastic remarks, she replied, "you dropped such a big bombshell on me. The El Vizan attack has got me overworking. Even now… I was reading the intel reports, you know?"
"Oh, I see. Then, is everything going good? Or are you guys having trouble?"
"Things aren't fine. The information you gave me was too shallow. I literally have to move so many people to get something out of the thing you told me. The past few days, I've been super busy with this."
Nicole's complaints made Alex feel slightly bad. He for sure was making this lady overwork, but it couldn't be helped. He had no idea about this situation after all.
"Sorry…" Alex could only apologize.
"Sigh… don't apologize now. It's not your fault." Nicole felt bad when she heard him apologize. "It's me who's not able to rack my mind and find the important clues."
"Well, the country is running fine as of now and I don't see people complaining about the police too much. Surely, you're doing a good job."
"Who knows? Anyway, what have you been upto lately?" Nicole shifted the conversation in Alex's direction. She was busy currently, but not as busy to not inquire about Alex's health.
"I am currently on my way to the city hospital to talk to those guys about some equipment. I bought a property and I'm opening a hospital myself."
"Really? Now that's news." Nicole said with a small smile. "But even if you open up a hospital, I wanna retain the privilege of you doing a home visit for me." Nicole still had feelings for Alex and subconsciously said this.
Alex could understand it as well and this time, he didn't reject her advances and said, "for sure, for sure. Also, thank you for your help."
"Hmm?"
"I got my medical certificates, now I can legally practice surgery. I suppose I got the certificates delivered due to you."
"Ah, right. I was kind of annoyed that you had to do so many things to make people believe you are a doctor. And also, your certificates arrived now? After so many days? I contacted those idiots right after you finished my operation."
Nicole felt annoyed. She had emphasized so much that the certificates should be delivered at the earliest, and it still took so long for them?
Nicole noted this on the paper in front of her. She was gonna give a good earful to the authorities involved.
"Better late than never," replied Alex calmly. "My parents saw it today and they were really happy. We are hosting a party for this tonight. Would you like to come?"
"What?" Nicole suddenly felt flustered at the invitation. It came out of nowhere!
"A party. I am hosting a party, my friends and family will be there. Do you have time to come?"
"Ah…" Nicole only felt more flustered as she heard that. It was all too sudden and her condition was the worst right now. She had overworked for quite some time.
"Haiz, lady. I can feel your panic through the call. Don't stress over this. It's alright if you can't make it. I understand that you're busy." Alex misunderstood her.
"Wait, wait." Nicole said hurriedly. "I'll try to see if I'll be there. No promises though."
"Oh, sweet. I'll text you the venue in a while."
"Hm." Nicole just hummed.
An awkward silence befell for a few seconds as both parties had no idea what else to talk about.
Alex broke the silence after a while by asking, "by the way, if you don't mind me asking, what have you guys done till now to stop the attack?"
"It's confidential." Nicole said flatly.
"Right—"
"But, I'll make an exception." Nicole said and smiled. Even though he wasn't here with her, she didn't falter from teasing him.
"Ah, thanks?"
Nicole then went straight to the point. "Airport authorities from all over the country had searched every airport for suspicious activities. Three unregistered planes have been found in a few small hangers and seized. We tried to trace it but couldn't find who it belonged to. Mind you, these were decently sized private jets, capable of blowing off half the White House."
Alex was really surprised hearing that. "Are you sure you can speak about things like this?"
"Don't worry, our call is encrypted. Nobody will be able to spy on us or know what we spoke about."
"Oh. So if I were to do some dirty talking on this call, no one's gonna know?" Alex couldn't help but ask for educational purposes.
Nicole was greatly surprised by this. But she smirked and replied, "that's right. If I were to let out moans, only you'll be able to hear it. Isn't this a big privilege?"
"…" Alex was taken aback by this.
Even though he rejected Nicole, she didn't seem to be sad or anything and was still the same lady he found at the burger joint.
"The privilege for sure makes me happy." Alex replied after a few seconds.
This time Nicole was taken aback. Now… she didn't understand whether this guy was being serious or flirting. Didn't he reject her a while ago? Then what's with this reaction?
"Alright, if you've got nothing to talk about, I'll hang up. And yes, if you fail to get information on the equipment, feel free to ask me. I'll arrange it for you."
"You're so nice." Alex couldn't help but say. "I'll let you know if it doesn't work out. See you."
"See you." Nicole cut the call after saying so.
She then slumped back on her chair and said with a sigh, "I've seen ladies give out mixed signals… but then… this guy… why's he like this?"
Nicole couldn't understand Alex. He had rejected her yet was flirting with her. Did he want to sleep with her despite having his wives? Was he a cheating bastard?
No, that shouldn't be the case. Alex seemed like a nice guy. A professional doctor who knew his stuff.
When operating on her, he never once saw her with a lecherous gaze.
Nicole was confident in her looks by now. She wasn't the average girl and had all the attributes of a sexy lady.
Stil, she couldn't understand how Alex could reject this. She also had a big background, you know?
"Hmm… there's a way to know this." Nicole thought out loud.
"The party… I'll go to the party."
Nicole leaned forwards and gave a call to her agent. "X, clear up my schedule for tonight, I have some work."
"Yes, chief."
