Chapter 407
"I still need it, so no can do," Alexander shot back.
Esme's face twisted in annoyance. "Didn't you say you wouldn't give it to Louis? Why not give it to me? It's just a herb, Alexander! If it's about money, I can pay."
"It's not about the money," Alexander repeated, shaking his head.
No way he could hand over the SerenityLeaf to Esme.
"Are you planning to give it to someone else?" Esme asked, confused.
Alexander wasn't the type to hoard stuff and not share.
If he wasn't giving it up, he must have a reason.
"Yeah," Alexander didn't want to lie to her.
Esme huffed, "Fine. Everyone else is more important than me. Go ahead, give it to them. I don't want it anymore!"
"This herb wouldn't do you any good, but it might help someone else," Alexander explained.
Esme shrugged. "Alright, I don't want it then. Your network is more important."
Alexander grinned. "Good girl."
Esme decided to drop it, figuring it wasn't worth the hassle.
"Boss, I've got in touch with the owner of SerenityLeaf," Elizabeth was jolted awake by a call from Felix.
Elizabeth rubbed her eyes, a bit excited. "Did they agree to meet?"
Felix replied, "Yeah. We talked about the price, and the seller said if you genuinely need it, the price doesn't matter. We can discuss it in person! But they are busy, so the meeting's set for the evening at a café called Rose."
Elizabeth squinted and agreed, "Alright, you go."
Felix said, "Nope."
Elizabeth was puzzled. "Why not?"
Felix explained, "The guy said you have to come in person to get it."
Elizabeth found it odd and asked, "How does he know who's buying?"
Felix was silent for a few seconds. "No clue, but the seller said it has to be sincere, so it's up to you to show your sincerity."
Elizabeth was speechless.
She replied, "Got it. I'll be there on time," thinking it might be someone she knew.
Elizabeth went to the Rose Café at the agreed time.
Sitting in the car, Elizabeth turned to the girl in the passenger seat wearing a white shirt and black skirt, "Go ahead."
"Got it, Boss. I'll handle it!" Margaret Percy smirked, quickly got out of the car, and went into the café.
Margaret was a smart girl Elizabeth had brought back from an orphanage. She was 18 this year and a valuable assistant to them!
Felix, in the back seat, yawned and said, "Boss, you're really something. Trick him!"
"I don't know who they are. They insisted I come in person, so of course, I have to be cautious," Elizabeth snorted.
The other party didn't know who she was, so why not send someone else?
Elizabeth clearly saw Margaret enter the café and choose a seat by the window.
Felix then sent a message to the person: [I'm here, by the window. Where are you?]
Margaret looked around; the café was busy, and everyone seemed occupied.
Felix received a text message.
The seller: [I sincerely want to give SerenityLeaf to you who truly need it, but you send someone else to get it?]
Felix frowned and thought, 'What did this person mean?'
Felix: [Do you know who is buying SerenityLeaf?]
