The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 76


    Alex put down ire’s fair, tender feet and said, “I need to answer a call.”


    ire shouted, “Why are you in a hurry? It’s just a call! There’s one more foot to go! Well, you’re quite


    good at massaging.”


    Alex turned around with an annoyed look. “I’ll wash my hand first.”


    As soon as he answered the call, Cheryl asked, “Alex, have you gotten the hundred-year-old ginseng?”


    Alex sighed as he answered, “It’s seriously a rare item. I couldn’t find any even though I’ve searched


    quite a number of ces.”


    Cheryl said with a smile, “I knew it. I’ve gotten one for you.”


    “Oh! Seriously?”


    “Yes, I just happened to see it and then immediately bought it.”


    “Where are you now? I’lle over.”


    “Sure, I’ll send you the address.”


    After Alex finished the call, he saw ire with one foot lying on the tea table, hinting that she wanted


    him to continue with the massage. Alex immediately said, “Dorothy, Mom, I have to go now because I


    have something to do.”


    Dorothy asked, “Where are you going?”


    Alex answered with a smile, “Bro Charles is looking for me. I’ll also discuss the contract with him by the


    way.”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    He did not dare to mention that he was going to meet Cheryl.


    “Alright, go ahead!”


    “Alex, there’s still one more to go. Why don’t you finish the massage first before you leave? It’s just


    about ten minutes’ difference, isn’t it?” ire swayed her foot in front of Alex as she said.


    “Mom, Alex has something important to discuss. Is your foot more important than the contract?”


    Dorothy said as she frowned.


    ire immediately said, “Of course the contract is more important. Okay, you can go and settle the


    contract matter. We can continue with the massage when youe back.”


    Alex almost fainted. “There’s a foot reflexology center near the gate of the neighbourhood. Just go


    there for a massage. The staff there are more professional than me.”


    “I have to pay for that though.”


    “Damnit! Does she think that I’m a free-of-charge foot massage servant?” Alex thought as he was


    seriously worried that ire would always get him to massage her leet. Although her leet were not that


    bad, he could not bypass his psychological barrier. He did not perform the massage because he


    wanted to, but it was just for fun. Therefore, he quickly took out two thousand dors from his pocket


    and threw it on the tea table. “Here you go, it’s my treat. You can also get a membership card and go


    there every day.”


    He quickly left as soon as he ended the conversation.


    The address which Cheryl sent was a pedestrian street located nearby.


    Alex managed to find Cheryl at a bubble tea shop in less than twenty minutes.


    She was wearing navy jeans with decoration of small white flowers and there were a few lines of


    horizontal rips on her thighs. She wore a T-shirt with yellow and white stripes and a pair of sunsses,


    with her hair tied in a ponytail as she sat there drinking her bubble tea.


    She looked elegant yet casual.


    The high-traffic scene on the pedestrian street formed a beautiful scenery.


    Alex saw many people frequently turned back to enjoy the view as well.


    “Dr. Cheryl, I could barely recognize you in this outfit,” Alex said with a smile as he walked toward her


    and sized up her physical appearance several times.


    Through her sunsses, Cheryl rolled her eyes before passing a bag, which contained a cup of bubble


    tea, to him. “I bought you a beverage.”


    Alex took it with a smile.


    Many male passersby saw the scene. They could not help feeling jealous, much to their chagrin, and


    thought, “Oh, darn! She is such a beautiful woman, but she has a boyfriend! Well, that guy is not that


    cool anyway!”


    Swiftly, Alex saw the ginseng.


    After taking a glimpse and sniff, Alex was certain that it was the hundred-year-old ginseng. Most


    importantly, it was a fresh, wild ginseng as a small amount of mud was left on its roots!


    That was more valuable than the processed ginseng.


    “Good stuff! How much is it? I’ll transfer the payment to you.”


    “Just a small matter. It’s a gift for you.” Cheryl said leisurely.


    Alex was stunned and shook his head. “This won’t do. This ginseng at least cost a million dors, so I


    can’t just take it without any payment.”


    Cheryl said, “Didn’t you gift me the invaluable Thirteen Acupunture of Hell? This is nothingpared to


    that. Moreover, I didn’t spend much.”


    She tried to give a brief derivation to the ginseng.


    In fact, a man tried to sell the ginseng earlier when she was at a pharmacy. However, the store owner


    tried to trick the seller and insisted that the ginseng was not of premium species, hence, only offered to


    buy at ten thousand dors. However, she intercepted the transaction by offering a hundred thousand


    dors.


    “Mainly, I’d like to bribe you with this ginseng, so that you can teach me more about acupuncture in the


    future,” Cheryl said with a smile.


    “Sure! I think it’s quitete now. Let me treat you to a meal!”


    Both of them exited the pedestrian street and headed to the parking lot.


    Suddenly, three men with masks rushed toward Alex and Cheryl, and one of them tried to hit Cheryl’s


    head with a wooden stick.
