Actually, Thelma wasn’t sure if she could find Phoenix on this trip, but Sam Noah spoke so confidently, as if finding someone was not a big deal for him.
“What do you think?”
If he could find her, that would be great. Thelma said, “Alright, thank you.”
Sam Noah smiled slightly, “You’ve been saying thank you to me quite a lot lately.”
“……”
That’s true, because he often helped her, and the word “thank you” felt almost pale.
Thelma felt embarrassed.
“Is there anything you need me to do? If I can do it, I will do my best.” Thelma said sincerely.
As soon as Thelma finished speaking, the little one who had been sitting quietly beside them said, “Mommy doesn’t need to do anything for Daddy; just let Daddy warm your bed, and Daddy will be very happy.”
Thelma: “……”
What is this little thing talking about! What does warming the bed even mean!
Thelma’s face turned red instantly. She looked at Sam Noah, unsure if he was choked up, as he half-clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly.
Although Thelma was very embarrassed, she still patted the little guy’s head and said, “Tyler, eat your meal properly.”
Thelma didn’t directly deny the little guy’s suggestion; she waited for Sam Noah to express his thoughts, wanting to know what he thought.
“Children speak without thinking; you don’t need to take it to heart.”
Hearing this, Thelma felt a sense of loss, but she didn’t say anything further.
It seemed that it was indeed just a child’s innocent remark; he didn’t really want to warm her bed.
The next morning, when Thelma got up, the little one had already left, but Sam Noah had not yet gone. He was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
“Aren’t you going to the company?”
“Not in a hurry.” He put down the newspaper, “Phoenix has already contacted you. The appointment is at eleven o’clock, at your family’s restaurant. After that, you can discuss the collaboration with her.”
Thelma hadn’t expected things to progress so smoothly. She had to admit that this husband was really impressive. She was about to say thank you, but then felt that “thank you” was too pale.
“Have you thought about that question from yesterday? What do you hope I can help you with?” Thelma asked him.
“I haven’t thought of anything yet. I’ll let you know when I do.”

To meet Phoenix, Thelma made thorough preparations, gathering various materials, her composed songs, and the future development plan for the studio. Before meeting her, she even changed into more formal attire, hoping to persuade her with her sincerity.
Arriving at the Peace Hotel, her sister informed her that Phoenix was already waiting for her in a private room on the second floor. Before pushing open the door to the room, Thelma inexplicably felt a bit nervous. She adjusted her breathing before raising her hand to knock.
“Come in.” It was a very cold female voice.
Hearing this not-so-friendly tone made Thelma even more anxious.
She pushed the door open, and Phoenix was sitting at the table drinking tea. Phoenix was almost forty, but her face still looked young. However, she had a plain appearance that didn’t give an impression of stunning beauty. She wore a black turtleneck sweater, her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking very spirited. Although her looks weren’t striking at first glance, her aura exuded a serious, aloof vibe, giving her a unique charm.
Thelma sat down opposite her. Although she was nervous inside, she still greeted her naturally, “Hello, Phoenix.”
Phoenix looked her up and down, “I heard someone say a mysterious big boss wanted to meet me. Is that you?”
Thelma’s mouth twitched, “I can’t claim to be a mysterious big boss. I only have a small studio under my name. However, if Phoenix understands the future development plan I’ve drafted, I believe you would be willing to collaborate with me. You can take a look first.” Thelma handed her several documents she had prepared in detail.
Unexpectedly, Phoenix didn’t even glance at them, “No need.”
“……”
What the heck, is it really like this? Refusing without even looking?
However, before Thelma could feel sad, Phoenix continued, “I’m planning to go abroad to buy s***m to have a baby. I calculated that to buy a high IQ, handsome, and excellent s***m would cost about two hundred thousand. Plus, the expenses for prenatal care and confinement abroad would add up to about five to six hundred thousand. I just want to know how long I would have to work to earn that five to six hundred thousand?”
“……”
