âWith the female doctor?â
âOf course not. Itâs with Jack Trent from Thousand Leaves Construction, the one who
gave us the contract. I have to maintain a good relationship with him, right? I wonder
who Iâm doing all of these for, hmm?â he asked, hoping to be given credit for his work.
âThen⦠Once youâre done, bring a change of clothes.â
âWhat for?â
âWhat do you think? To sleepover.â
âI wonât sleep in the housekeeperâs room!â
âDo what you want!â
After hanging up, Alexâs car almost rammed into the car in front of him.
What was that supposed to mean?!
Did that mean they could sleep in the same bed?
F*ck, itâs not that easy to always see the light at the end of the tunnel!
As for the washboard, it was impossible for him to buy one in this day and ageâ¦
***
At 5 oâclock, Alex came to the commendation meeting specially organized by Leanneâs
company.
In order not to draw attention, he had come alone.
Leanneâs company was called Alluring Paradise Clothing, involved in fashion design
and trade. Leanne herself is an excellent fashion designer. After meeting Jack and
receiving his investment, Alluring Paradise Clothing was established. They hadnât
expected the business to continue growing bigger and bigger to the point where the
business had branches abroad.
Thatâs why the company had a lot of employees.
Leanne had booked a large buffet restaurant to hold the commendation meeting.
âAlex?â
Unexpectedly, he was called before he had even stepped into the entrance.
He turned and saw a beautiful woman wearing glasses and a white shirt, about 5.4 feet
tall.
It was obvious that she was the one who called out to him, but there was a hint of
coldness in her eyes.
She behaved as if you must obey her once sheâs called you.
Alex was stunned for a moment. Even after taking a good look at her, he couldnât
recognize who she was. He also didnât like the look in her eyes.
So, he simply ignored her and continued walking towards the hall with his hands behind
his back.
âStop!â The woman yelled at him. âWhere are you going?
I know that youâve gone from
being at the top of the young and rich, to the bottom as a discarded and abandoned
piece of trash who doesnât have any merit to meet people. And donât you know me?â
Alex was puzzled as he turned around and said, âDo you know me?â
The woman exploded. âF*ck, are you serious? Iâm sure you remember Chloe, right? Iâm
Megan Tyrell.â
Alex instantly remembered when he heard the name. âAh, so itâs you!â
It was the girl that had been Chloeâs roommate.
But Alex and Chloe had only been together for a month before they decided that it
wasnât working out and broke up. So it wasnât too much of a surprise that he didnât
remember her roommate, Megan Tyrell.
Megan sighed, making no attempt to hide the contempt she felt. âAll this while, youâre
actually working in Alluring Paradise?
Iâve never seen you before. Which department
are you in? Could it be that youâve not heard of my name, Iâm from the secretarial
department. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me! Iâll help you
solve it, since weâve known each other before this. Even if youâve dropped to the bottom
now, you donât have to have such low self-esteem! How unsightly!â
She continued to blabber on endlessly.
This woman had a real temperament. Although her words werenât pleasant, the
meaning behind them was sincere, she wanted to help him.
Alex didnât bother explaining, but only nodded his head. âOkay, Iâll look for you if I need
any help.â
Megan nodded. âGo on in, and remember to come by table No. 3 to have a toast. Have
some confidence, donât act like some good-for-nothing.â
Alex was speechless.
Since when did he act like he was a good-for-nothing?
At this moment, another woman in an office outfit came by, pointing to Megan. âMeg,
and whoever you are, come help me move some things.â
Meganâs demeanor immediately flipped 180 degrees. With a bright smile on her face,
she said, âOf course, Sister Weber.
Iâm very strong after all.â
Alexâs eyes widened, and his laugh almost slipped out.
Megan glared at him. âWhat are you staring at? Letâs go, we need to move things.â
Alex scratched his nose, then turned to follow her.
