“This is…” This is totally different from what I’d expected, okay?!

Nathan could hardly believe it when he saw the nonchalant look on Elise’s face. Without even botheringabout his clegant-looking suit, he quickly walked to the door and craned his neck to look outside.However, there wasn’t a soul to be seen when he looked around. His arms akimbo, he turned aroundand stood where he was in a daze for a few seconds. Then, he turned back and stood face-to-face withElise, eyeing her up and down once again with skepticism in his eyes. “You’re A?” he asked.

“Yeah, it’s me.” Elise folded her arms across her chest.

Nathan pulled a long face at once. “Say, even if you didn’t manage to make an appointment with her, youdidn’t have to joke with me like this. Don’t tell me you’ve not even met her in person.”

However, Elise asked calmly in reply, “If I’m not A, then what do you think A’s supposed to look like?”

“In any case, she’d never look like you.” Nathan exhaled a deep breath in annoyance. When he turnedand saw that Alexander was about to open the bottle of Romanée-Conti, he immediately ran up to theman and stopped him, saying, “Don’t touch it! This bottle’s for A. If you two finish it off, then what am Igonna serve A with when I meet her for real later?”

Just then, however, he heard a lady’s faint and delicate voice speak behind him. “That’s stingy of you,Natty.”

Upon hearing that, Nathan felt like something had exploded inside his head. In an instant, his pupilsdilated, and he looked back in disbelief. “How did you know about this nickname?” He looked bemused.“Did A even tell you about that?”

Natty wasn’t Nathan’s actual nickname. It was only a nickname that A gave him without thinking whenthey were working together back then because she thought Natty sounded similar to his first name. Eventhough many who had been part of the collaboration were aware of this nickname, no one dared tochallenge Nathan’s authority like A did, for he was a big name in the investment community even then.Therefore, he hadn’t heard this nickname for years.

“Jeez, what a bother.” Elise plonked herself down on the sofa. “Seriously, do you need me to reminisceabout how we used the situation to our advantage during the first equity hedge battle between you andthat self-important father of yours and how we wiped him out and made him lose all his capital?”

Finally, Nathan had no choice but to look Elise in the face. A kept a low profile and was never keen onacquiring fame or wealth, so she would never brag to anyone in great detail about those exhilarating andunrestrained stock wars. Furthermore, no one knew that the person they had jointly defeated at the timewas none other than Nathan’s own father.

Nathan’s mother was abandoned by his father before he was born. Not only that, but the man evenrefused to say goodbye to her for one last time in her dying moments. In order to get back at the man,Nathan amassed his strength until he finally stood in the brokerage firm with dignity and fought him. Atfirst, he thought he had honed his skills enough, but Nathan’s father was more experienced and thusmuch craftier. Halfway through the scheme, he almost had all his

possessions swallowed up by that so-called father. It was A who had saved the desperate situation forhim, allowing him to bring the man down from the top of the financial pyramid.

Therefore, to Nathan, Awasn’t only an idol but also his benefactor. If it weren’t for A, he wouldn’t havebeen able to avenge his mother and reclaim his dignity.

On the other hand, Elise was running out of patience. “Are you still not gonna believe me?”

“No, I believe you. It’s just that I still have trouble adjusting to that.” Nathan seemed somewhat ill — atcase. He continued in self-deprecation, “Perhaps it just never occurred to me that the person who hadeasily spent more than one billion as she pleased would be a teenage girl.”

Elise had yet to celebrate hier 20th birthday at present, which meant she was only about 13 years oldseven years ago. It was truly unimaginable for someone at that age to have a commanding presence inthe capital market.

Elise got up, came to Nathan’s side, and gave him a pat of comfort on the arm like a mature andrespectable old man. “It’s okay, Natty. You’re still young. As you gain more experience, you’ll replace. thatthere are always people who are better than you in the world.”

Nathan pulled a wry face; he never dreamed that he would be preached to by a 20-year-old lady oneday.

Elise didn’t care much about it, though. After finishing her sentence, she went to the liquor cabinet andpicked up the bottle of Romanée-Conti. Then, she opened it right away, pouring the wine into three wineglasses. Picking up two of the glasses, she then turned around and handed one to Nathan.

Alexander picked up the remaining glass of wine and walked over to them, forming a circle with them.

Nathan glanced down at the wine glass with a faint smile. Then, he took the wine glass, clinked glasseswith the couple, and finished his wine in one gulp with a toss of his head.

Having finished her glass of wine, Elise licked her lips, seemingly savoring the endless aftertaste that thewine had left in her mouth.

“Pretty nice, isn’t it? I bought it at an auction for two million. There are less than ten bottles of it globally,”Nathan said.

“Yeah, it’s nice indeed.” Elise compressed her lips into a smile. In an instant, she came up with amischievous idea. Walking back to the liquor cabinet, she brought the entire bottle of Romanée Contiover and filled Nathan’s wine glass with it right away.

“Hey, that’s enough!” Seeing Elise pour wine recklessly into his glass, Nathan immediately held it up, butthe glass was already 80% full at that point. He said helplessly, “Elise, you only need to pour a mouthfulof the wine into each glass just so we can taste it. It’s not like we’re gonna get drunk.”

Elise crinkled her eyes in a smile. “Well, I was just worried that you couldn’t remember what it tasted like.After all, the bottle will cease to be yours very soon.”

Nathan was puzzled upon hearing her words.

“Didn’t you say you had prepared this bottle of wine for A?” Elise asked shamelessly.

Upon realizing what Elise meant, Nathan panicked at once. I only have a bottle of good wine of suchdistinction! he thought. “Well, I did say that, but… Good wine is supposed to be shared with everyone!”

“Don’t be so stingy, will you?” Elise shoved him in the chest. “Think about that wretched father or yoursand your current standing. Is the huge favor I’ve done for you not worth you giving me a bottle of wine asa present?”

“Well, it’s worth it, but this bottle-”

“That settles it, then!” Elise dashed outside with the wine bottle in her arms without giving Nathan theopportunity to finish his sentence. As she ran, she shouted, “Thanks for the wine! Call me again if youhave such a good thing to offer me next time.”

“Hey, wait a minute! Stop!” Nathan yelled. Helplessly, he watched the top-grade wine in his collectionbeing taken away in such an open and aboveboard way. His face crumpled into a look of desolation, andhis heart was bleeding.

At the sight of the scene, Alexander couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Only then did Nathan recall there was another person around. Turning to stare at Alexander, henarrowed his eyes, which flickered with slyness.

“What do you want?” Alexander asked with a straight face. “I’m straight.”

“Bah, who cares about it, anyway?!” Nathan rolled his eyes. “I mean, remember to call me the next timeyou two are gonna have a drink.”

Alexander replied with a sly smile, “Well, I can call you, but aren’t you gonna give me a bottle of goodwine to thank me in advance?”

With a slap on his thigh, Nathan agreed to it without hesitation, saying, “No problem. I still have anotherbottle of Romanée-Conti at my place, only that it’s not as good as that one. I’ll have it delivered to youlater.”

“Thanks.” Alexander gave him a faint smile. Then, he put down his wine glass and walked out with hishands in his pockets.

As Nathan watched Alexander disappear from the door, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. Did Ijust let them take away two bottles of Romanée-Conti at once? Shit! What a colluding couple!
