A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1421

Arianne was nervous. “H-he’s... he’s taken leave and hasn’t been in. My husband has been the one driving.”

Arianne did not want to interfere with someone else’s matters, so she did not ask too much. However, the girl whined incessantly. “Do I mean so little to him? His salary is so high, he must’ve accumulated quite some savings all these years. Is it too much for me to ask for some bonus? I’ll be spending the rest of my life with him, my parents have been taking care of me for over twenty years now, is it too much to ask for some money?”

Arianne gave a wry smile. “It’s not too much. It is a custom to give some bonus to uphold the tradition. What did you ask for, may I ask?”

The girl had actually started listing out the items, “A house within the capital, two storeys would be enough. I believe a house would be reasonable in order to get married, is it not? A car of $60,000 in value would suffice, $15,000 for the engagement party, $75,000 for the wedding reception since I want the wedding to be done in a five star hotel. That’s all I ask, is it too much?”

Arianne replied honestly. “Yes, it’s way overboard.”
