She didn’t know what else to say, so she withdrew her own hand in disgust.
-I’m sorry, I was really wrong that day, trust me, please, I don’t covet you. I applied for the position because I wanted to work for this company.
-Well,” Kennedy replied coolly, “So, I’m not as attractive as the company?
-Yes, it’s just that…
It was the first time Alice had ever been so nervous in front of Kennedy that she didn’t know what to say. She frowned and looked anxious.
Seeing her like that, Kennedy smiled and felt that this strange woman was quite interesting.
“No. What am I doing?” he asked himself.
Kennedy quickly came back to his senses, squinting to watch the woman.
Was he going to waste his time with this woman because of her light eyes and strange demeanor?
-Hand.
-For what? -Alice said suspiciously.
-The hand, now,” Kennedy said impatiently.
Alice had to hold out her hand.
He put the key in her hand and Alice froze for a moment before recognizing it as her key.
“How did he get this key? Did I just lose it?” she thought.
But why had Kennedy brought it to her?
Alice looked up in surprise, -You waited here for me just to give me the key?
-I wasn’t waiting for you.
-No? Then why are you here?
-I want to find out what other tricks you had up your sleeve. You seem not only cunning, but also overconfident.
He said that about five years ago…
At that time, they had just gotten married and Kennedy had found out that she was a divorced woman and had married instead of another woman. Consequently, he treated her badly.
Now Kennedy was back to the same person he was five years ago.
Five years had passed and Kennedy’s nature had not changed at all; but he had changed something for Alice.
Alice looked at him with emotion.
Kennedy looked into her eyes so closely that he thought she had been moved by the matter of the key. He knew that she thought he had sent her the key on purpose.
He said instantly, disdainfully, -Stop imagining, I’ve given you the key, go home.
With that, Kennedy left.
Alice stood still, watching his back, and lowered her head to look at the key.
The key was as warm as her hand…..
Alice lowered her head and rubbed the key against her cheek.
It was Kennedy’s body heat.
***
News of Kennedy’s presence in the Charles family did not reach the country.
But Alice’s sudden departure startled the company. Since she had replaced Kennedy as vice president of the Moore Group, she had been so busy that she had been working overtime on many pending matters, including contracts that had been revoked because of Kennedy’s accident.
She had never been late.
But she took a leave of absence.
People were amazed and speculated about the reason.
Zain and Megan didn’t let people know that she was out of the country; they claimed that she had been taking care of company business for a month and Kennedy’s whereabouts were unknown, so she was mentally exhausted and needed to rest for a long time.
True, she had done a lot for the company during that time and needed a break.
But no one knew when she would return to work.
However, only one person knew the truth, and that was Aban, who had been taking care of Alice the whole time.
When she joined the company, Aban supported her and helped her solve many difficulties. So Zain and Megan were the first to tell Aban.
Aban almost cried when he found out that Kennedy was still alive, he stroked his beard and said, -I knew I was lucky, I used to get pissed off, how could he die like this, where is Kennedy? If you found him, why didn’t you bring him in?
-I’m sorry, it’s hard to explain,” Megan smiled and said, “But it’s good that Kennedy is still alive, the rest is a little complicated. Kennedy has lost his memory, he doesn’t remember everything that came before.
Aban’s eyes instantly widened, -What, he’s lost his memory?
He said suddenly, -So Alice?
-Yes, -Megan nodded, -Miss Alice stayed there, she insisted on bringing Kennedy back, until then, please take care of the company’s affairs.
-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the company during this time, I won’t give a chance to those with bad intentions -Aban agreed immediately.
Megan was amused.
-You are very funny.
-Alice always praises you, and she also told us beforehand to only tell this matter to you -Zain pursed his lips and said with a smile.
When Aban found out that he was the only one who knew about Kennedy, he got so excited that he almost cried, -Don’t worry, as long as Alice is still in the company, I will never fail her. It’s good to be trusted.
When Kennedy was president, he often contradicted Aban, but many times he listened to Aban’s advice.
The couple’s trustworthiness greatly touched Aban.
