NOVPUBThe Dunnas shopping center had opened and although it was not at 100% capacity, its popularity could already be seen. The nobles especially were delighted with the new business.
Nobles and wealthy people have very fixed preferences and when they want to buy something, they visit their preferred store, but now a new phenomenon is appearing.
Now they went to the mall to browse the stores as a hobby and if they found something they liked, they bought it, which caused the companies there to sell a lot.
Furthermore, this shopping center had not yet put its food court into operation. When Andrew proposed this idea, there was skepticism, since the noble and powerful people did not usually eat out, but they still believed in him and did it.
Now they faced the problem that they did not know how to put it into operation. When Andrew noticed this, he couldn’t help but shake his head, because he didn’t understand how these people were smart about many things and couldn’t solve such a simple problem.
When he was called to the royal castle of Dunnas to discuss this, Andrew could only scold Diana and Ariza. Although they are the queen and the princess, with the approach they had had recently, they now seemed very close and that is why he dared to do it.
Daphne was left out of this because Andrew knew she wanted her daughter and granddaughter to take control of things and she wasn’t intervening much. Surely she already had a solution, but she hadn’t shared it so that the other two wouldn’t always depend on her.
The problem was that these two did not look for the solution, but rather they looked for Andrew to solve it for them. Daphne was not aware that this would be the topic of the meeting and upon hearing what was happening she was upset as was Andrew.
"Diana and Ariza, if you continue like this, I’m going to have to have a serious talk with you," Andrew said in a deep tone. The two girls were surprised by his comment and when they were about to complain, Daphne continued scolding them.
"You brats, you’re really not doing your part," Daphne said annoyed, drawing the attention of everyone present. Diana and Ariza lowered their heads, embarrassed that Daphne was calling them out in front of everyone.
"Girls, there is a solution to that and you can find it on your own, don’t depend on me and Andrew whenever you have a problem. Just how are they going to learn to solve problems if you continue relying on us?" Daphne continued to scold them.
Although embarrassed, Diana claimed, "Mother, you know I have more things to do and I can’t deal with everything," but Daphne didn’t buy it, "Brat, don’t give me that."
Seeing that her mother was really upset, Diana remained silent and looked askance at Victoria to help her. Since Andrew and Daphne were scolding her, she sought help from her quasi-sister.
Victoria, noticing Diana’s look, scoffed, "It’s really fun to see the queen and princess being treated like children," which upset Diana. Ariza was not bothered, because she is still young and she knows her limitations, so she does not mind being called her out.
Seeing that they would not get anywhere with this, Andrew decided to put an end to this matter by giving them the solution, "This is the last time I help you with this simple problem. The food court can be managed in the same way as other businesses."
Diana immediately grasped the solution and blushed, because it was certainly an obvious solution and she had not seen it. It’s not that she was stupid, it’s just that she had really gotten used to her mother or Andrew giving her the answer and she had stopped thinking.
Daphne sighed and intervened, "Diana, if you make a meeting again about issues like these, I will stop your massage sessions." Hearing her mother’s threat, Diana immediately panicked and begged like a little girl when a toy was taken away from her.
Honestly, it was a comical scene, since this is none other than the queen of Dunnas and she was behaving like a spoiled child. Obviously, she could only do this, because she was among trusted people since she would not dare to do it with anyone else.
With that matter settled, they started talking about other things and when everything seemed defined, Andrew launched a proposal that no one expected, "Why don’t we build another shopping center?"
Everyone present looked at him strangely, because the one they had was not yet complete and he was proposing to make another one. Daphne misunderstood his words and said, "It’s true that I think we should expand, but I think we should first get this one running at 100% capacity before moving to other cities."
"I never said anything about moving to another city," Andrew said, which confused everyone even more and Daphne couldn’t help but ask, "So?", to which Andrew replied, "I mean making another mall here, in the capital city."
Now everyone was looking at him confused. Andrew noticing this began to explain, "Girls, this shopping center will be full soon, but it is focused on the noble and wealthy of the city, what about the common citizens?"
Everyone opened their eyes as if they had had a great revelation. In this office, everyone was smart and immediately understood what he meant, but Diana still wanted to confirm, "Do you want to make a shopping mall for the common citizens?"
"Of course," Andrew replied and added, "Ordinary citizens always follow the trends of the nobles, but they can’t afford to shop at the mall, so we can make one that suits them, with companies that offer products with lower range."
Everyone began to think about it and quickly, the meeting that seemed to have ended became lively again. They started planning how they could do it and honestly, it wasn’t difficult.
Unfortunately, this time, the royal family did not agree to provide Andrew and the Caltu family with shares, as there was nothing they could specially contribute, but Andrew still negotiated to be allowed to make another supermarket.
He would not offer the same products that he offered in the already created one, but rather lower quality products. This would generate income and give citizens the feeling of shopping like nobles and would even improve the image of the royal family, as citizens would feel that they are cared about.
After defining this matter, the meeting ended and Andrew left with his wives. After a short trip, Andrew returned with Candice to Dunnas Palace, but Victoria instead went to the Caltu family mansion.
Although they could not take shares in this new shopping center, this did not mean that they could not participate. The Caltu family has many businesses and some are not high-end, so she went to tell her family so that they would not miss the opportunity.
In the Dunnas Palace office, Andrew and Candice sat down to drink some tea and Candice couldn’t help but say with some irony, "Are you sure you’re not a candidate for business god? In my opinion, you are a better businessman than a candidate for sex god."
Andrew almost spit out his tea when he heard that comment and Candice, seeing him, Candice laughed out loud at the expression he had. Andrew feigned annoyance and approached her, hugged her, put her on his lap, and asked her while he touched her firmly, "Do you want me to show you?"
Candice’s entire body trembled at his words, as she became a little excited and she coquettishly turned to look at Andrew and said, "I don’t mind," then Andrew gave her a delicate kiss. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Candice returned the kiss that, although long, lacked passion, it was more of an affectionate kiss, with love. After separating, the two stared at each other with some complacency.
The tension between them grew and it was not because of any dislike, or anything like that, but because of the desire that was beginning to grow between them. Lately, Andrew and his wives hadn’t had sex anywhere other than his bedroom and it was always a joint session.
That’s why there was a strange atmosphere now that they were alone in the office and wanted to let out their lust. Andrew was the first to move and caressing Candice’s face, he kissed her again.
Although Candice likes romantic sex, there were few loving moments they could enjoy and at this moment this was what was happening. It’s not that they weren’t excited, but they wanted to enjoy the moment.

The kisses and caresses were increasing in tone and their bodies were beginning to heat up. Andrew’s hands began to roam Candice’s delicious curves and when he was about to attack, someone entered the office.
As if they had been caught doing something wrong, the two of them jumped as if trying to cover up something and when they saw that it was Helena who had entered, they looked at her in annoyance.
Helena obviously realized that she had interrupted them in an intimate moment and, sticking her tongue out, tenderly coaxed them into excusing her. Andrew and Candice just sighed in resignation and Andrew asked, "What’s wrong?"
She hesitated to respond, but still she said what she had come to say, "I’m sorry to bother you, but Andrew I need to talk about something that’s troubling me." Hearing her, Andrew became serious and asked again, "What’s wrong?"
