The meeting was over.
Alice took a car to accompany Nathan to the hospital.
At first Nathan did not want to go back to the hospital, but Alice told him, “Your injury is serious, if you don’t take good care of yourself, it will be impossible to take care of the company’s business, won’t it? We will have a hard fight.
Nathan was not convinced and returned to the hospital as Alice would have wanted him to.
Alice prepared to go straight back to the office, but was stopped in a corner.
After recognizing who it was, she stood up and looked at the people.
-Is there a problem,” Alice asked.
The person who stopped her was Oliver she had seen at the meeting, and Leonardo was no longer by her side, because he was accompanied to the sanatorium.
Although Leonardo was very awake, he did not have the capacity to protest against other people with his sick body in the wheelchair. If he fought against them to express his complaints, the disease would be the best reason to quarantine him in the sanatorium.
It was certain that Alice respected the elders, however, after hearing Oliver’s words, she knew that Leonardo had murdered Kennedy’s mother to force him to return home, and got what he wanted at any cost.
It certainly left a very long and black shadow on Kennedy’s childhood memory.
The person who did things like that did not deserve to be respected as an elder, because in his heart, Kennedy was only a method to benefit him.
Before Alice, Oliver lowered his gaze and found the documents in her hand.
A sense of danger was felt for no reason, so she backed up a few steps. Oliver stopped and raised his head immediately.
-Have you put yourself on guard?” asked Oliver.
Alice was silent.
-We’re not friends anymore? No… I didn’t think the relationship between us would be like this,” Oliver approached Alice, moving a few steps, and asked.
Alice opened her eyes wide and took two steps back, however, Oliver suddenly grabbed her arms, and lifted them above her head, pressing them against the cold wall.
-Ah,” cried Alice without any prevention, all the things in her hand fell to the floor.
Her pulse was racing, and it appeared as if her heart was coming out of her throat. She looked at Oliver with her intense eyes, but her pupils contracted in terror.
Oliver moved closer to her, he could feel her effort to resist, meanwhile, he understood her fury and annoyed by Alice’s eyes, everything was very clear.
Actually… the woman before him was his favorite.
However, he would never get her.
-What are you afraid of? are you afraid that I will steal the contract from you? I am sure you know well my kindnesses and emotions for you, you can feel it well, Alice.
Her breathing was getting more and more panting, Alice bit her lip and said, “Let me go, or I’ll call the police.
-And then,” Oliver laughed, mocking himself, and said, “When the police arrive, are you going to accuse me of stalking?
Alice did not answer him.
-Alice didn’t answer him, “Don’t do that, because… if I wanted to treat you like that, I’d be heartbroken.
And then, Oliver gave a big sigh, “What I wanted to do is to talk to you, even just a few words. I came back to the company that is to replace Kennedy to manage the company temporarily, he was the vice president of the group, so many issues are familiar to me, you know, the company needs an administrator.-.
She was controlled by him, Alice was still struggling, but after a few times of trying, she considered that her effort was insignificant in front of him, and asked him, -Dare you dare to say that you have no selfishness?
Oliver lowered his gaze and could hardly hear himself breathe.
-Yes, I have.
“Oliver has made a confession of his selfishness no doubt,” thought Alice with a cold smile on her lips.
-Although I recognize that I have selfishness, the reason is you rather than that I want to get the company,” said Oliver.
Alice did not answer him.
-I know you don’t want to trust me, but no doubt… because of the relationship between you and Kennedy, if there is any problem in the company, you will show up. However, you have health problems, it will hurt me to make you face it. Then I’d better do it myself, but I didn’t know you thought of me that way,” confessed Oliver.
-Alice, I never feel like hurting you, everything he did… is for you,” said Oliver.
-Well, let me.
Óliver sighed and let him go, after a few minutes looking at him, he squatted down and took all the arranged documents, and then gave it back to her.
-I’m sorry, I haven’t controlled my emotions well, every time… I think that you don’t trust me, I reach the limit. Take it, I hope you don’t mind,” said Oliver.
Alice took the documents, and raised her eyes to Oliver’s face.
-Who can not say the nice words? I’m afraid of people who dare not make a confession of their selfishness,” reproached Alice.
Oliver remained in stones completely.
He considered that he understood himself after hearing her words, but…
There is no change in her.
-He…” said Oliver with a mocking tone.
Alice went straight out, and he was left there only.
***
After a busy day, Alice came home, fell on the couch without time to remove her make-up.
It was the first day of work, she was very busy, and for her poor health, it was a little difficult to cope with the workload as well.
It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep, between dreams she felt someone spread something on her face, Alice turned her hands in an unconscious movement, but the same sense existed again quickly.
Alice barely opened her eyes to find Jack kneeling in front of herself with a special makeup remover for pregnant women in his hand, he was forcefully removing the makeup from Alice’s face.
Seeing that her mother was awake, she gently asked, -Mom, you’re awake, but there’s still the makeup on your eyes, could you close them for a moment?
Hearing her baby’s words, almost at the same time Alice closed her eyes without hesitation.
With her eyes closed, she could still hear Jack’s voice, and she said, -It won’t be long, Mommy.
Alice nodded her head, let Jack remove the makeup for her quietly.
It was not the first time. When they were in foreign countries, sometimes she was very exhausted like this, falling on the sofa, at last, she found that the makeup was completely removed after waking him up.
“Haha, who says only girls are more confident to their parents?” thought Alice.
Actually, boys were also intimate to their parents.
-That’s it, Mom,” said Jack.
Finally, Jack jumped out of bed and took out a hot towel to remove the grease stains on Alice’s face, and asked, “Mom, I heard from Yanis that you are pregnant, am I going to have a younger sister?
Hearing that, Alice asked, “Little sister? Jack preferred a little sister?
-Oh, it’s all good, what mom likes I like,” Jack replied.
There was a smile on her lips, Alice said, -I still don’t know if it will be a boy or a girl, but whoever it is, would you accept it?
She was a little worried, because she was afraid that Jack would not be happy about the news.
In fact, Jack only grew up, and Alice didn’t think she could be pregnant again.
-I know mom lives a hard life.- Jack said and embraced Alice’s neck with his arms, putting his face on mom’s face, he added softly, -I’ll be happy if mom is happy.- -I’ll be happy if mom is happy.
