Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 88

Elaina and Joyce walked out of the hospital together. Then Joyce went to drive her car, and Elaina was waiting for Joyce by the roadside.

Shortly after, a black and white Ferrari sports car stopped in front of Elaina. Elaina did not vaguely realize until then that Joyce seemed to be very rich.

Elaina got in the car and said with a smile, “You are so rich, but why do you want to be a doctor? You should know that this job is very hard.”

“I am already rich, so I naturally want to do something more meaningful,” Joyce replied. Back then, when her family asked her this question, she gave them the same answer.

Elaina could not help laughing. She thought that what Joyce said seemed to make sense.

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the most high–end shopping mall in New York.

After they got out of the car, Joyce held Elaina’s arm and said, “Dr. Gainsford, let’s go for dinner first, okay?”

“Okay.” Elaina nodded and then said, “You can call me ‘Elaina‘ when we are outside.”

Joyce immediately covered her mouth and was a little overjoyed. “You finally tell me your first name. Does it mean that we are friends now?”

“You seem to have never asked, right?” Elaina did not mind others knowing her first name. She just did not bother to tell them if others did not ask.

Joyce scratched the back of her head and smiled, “I don’t dare to ask.”

Even though she was an assistant to Elaina, their relationship had not been close. Joyce did not dare to ask rashly, lest Elaina would be disgusted.

“Am I that scary?” Elaina thought herself somewhat mild, at least not to let people be afraid to this point.

Joyce nodded, but she then immediately shook her head. “No, it’s not like that, but it’s just because I am timid.”

Elaina chuckled. She did not dwell on this question but asked Joyce, “What would you like to have?”

“Elaina, let’s have dinner at Magnolia Bakery. Everything tastes very good there. You are highly recommended to have a taste there.” Joyce called Elaina by her first name instead of Dr. Gainsford. In an instant, the relationship between them became closer.

Elaina did not refuse. Even though she just had a meal there some time ago. However, the food there tasted really good. It was okay to have meals there a few more times.

They walked to the door of Magnolia Bakery, where a lot of people were queuing. Elaina thought that they would have to wait for a long time, but Joyce took her straight in.

Elaina heard the waiter at the door greeted Joyce, “Ms. Wallace.”

“Is this place run by your family?” Elaina was surprised.

“Yes, my parents started the business with food and beverages. Magnolia Bakery is the first restaurant they ran,” Joyce said.

With that, Joyce took out a card from her bag and handed it to Elaina. “With this diamond card, you don’t have to queue up every time you come.”

Elaina did not take it. Joyce quickly added, “Don’t worry. There is no account balance on this card.”

“Thank you.” Elaina then took the diamond card.

“Ms. Wallace, the seat you usually take was taken by some guest. You…” The waiter was in a quandary. He did not expect that Joyce would come today.

“It doesn’t matter. Any seat is fine.” Joyce did not take it seriously.

Joyce just preferred a seat by the window, but she did not insist on taking that seat. Customers came first. Joyce would not argue with the gust for a seat.

Then the waiter brought Joyce and Elaina to the seats in the hall.

The surroundings were noisy, and it could be seen that the business was quite good.

“No private room is available. Elaina, I hope you don’t mind. I’ll make a reservation in advance next time.” Joyce was a little embarrassed. Even though she was the daughter of the restaurant owner, she had to make a reservation for the private room in advance.

Elaina shook her head and did not take it personally. “It’s already very good. I waited for more than an hour in a queue last time before getting a seat.”

That was why she was so angry when Jenica stood her up in the end.

“You don’t have to wait next time.” Joyce grinned as she took the menu and handed it to Elaina.

When she just told Elaina to order whatever she liked, Joyce caught a glimpse of an acquaintance, who was sitting in the seat she usually took.

Joyce was surprised. “Mr. Halton?”

Hearing that, Elaina looked in that direction and saw Jalen sharing food with Alisha.
