-My love, did you behave well with your classmates?
-Of course I have! -said Jack.
-Very well, my love,” smiled Alice.
Seeing how sweet and how soft his face was, Alice wanted to caress him and hug him tight.
“How poor me!” thought Alice, sadly, “The two important men in my life are now all separated from me.”
-Mommy I miss you!
Alice smiled.
Then Jack pleaded with her innocent eyes, -Mom, can I be by your side? Yanis said you’ve found daddy, I wish…..
For the moment, Alice didn’t want to tell him that Kennedy had lost her memory so that he wouldn’t suffer any more.
Then she explained, -Not for now, I’m very busy, when I finish everything, Dad and I will visit you, okay?
Jack snorted and replied angrily, “Mom, why do you always get over everything? I wanted to help you.
-A child like you is not capable of helping me yet, besides,” Alice said sadly, “Some things are not as easy as you imagine.
Realizing her low spirits, Alice replied with a smile, -My love, if you behave yourself, daddy and I will visit you, okay?
-Okay.
-If you behave yourself, I’ll give you a present,” said Alice.
-Okay, Mom, promise me.
Jack didn’t finish talking until Yanis snatched the phone from him and pushed him into the shower.
-Alice, how did everything go? -Yanis asked.
As tired as she was today, Alice didn’t get to see Kennedy in person. If the next few days went on like this, there would be no progress.
-Don’t tell me you haven’t seen him all day? -Yanis asked.
-I’ve seen him once, but…” Alice paused because it seemed to her that the encounter was a bit of a letdown.
-But what? Tell me at once,” Yanis hurried her.
-Why are you in such a hurry? -Alice laughed.
-Oh,” cried Yanis dejectedly, “That’s me, the emperor himself was in no hurry, but his courtier, yes, and quite a lot.
Alice kept smiling, thinking that this would be her best friend, who gave her importance and was always more concerned about her own affairs than she was herself.
-I tell you. I’ve seen him today, but for a very short time.
-What do you mean? -Yanis asked, “But you have joined the Calros Group.
-Yes, but little by little. With only one day of work, I can’t ask for more.
-Okay. If you’re not in a hurry, I won’t rush you. I’d better stick to my business.
Yanis didn’t hang up the call until he saw Alice tired.
As soon as Alice got up, he noticed how swollen her legs were. She had to act slowly.
When she finished the shower, she discovered a bloody wound on her foot.
She stroked it sadly thinking, -I should work a lot to suffer through what I’m going through now.
Sad Alice, he murmured, -How delicate you are, Alice!
But she soon recovered her spirits, saying to herself, -You are the key to getting Kennedy’s memory back, you can’t be discouraged by just a little bit of tiredness. Cheer up, Alice!

The next day, Alice put on a pair of shoes without heels and a wide, casual suit.
In fact, at two months pregnant, she didn’t need to wear that to cover up her condition. But she didn’t want to do it when she couldn’t do it anymore because until then everyone would notice her unexpected change.
As soon as she arrived at the office, Giuliana told her to clean up.
-Mr. Kennedy will be at the company in less than an hour. Clean his office before he arrives. Remember not to leave even a trace of dust. If you do it wrong, he’ll be angry.
-Okay,” Alice went straight to his office.
She was aware of his extreme demands on cleanliness.
As soon as she got to his office, she discovered that it was very clean, there was hardly any dirt left.
So when Alice returned to the office in less than twenty minutes, Giuliana asked her in surprise, -Are you sure you have cleaned everything?
-Yes.
-Everything? -Giuliana repeated.
-Of course,” Alice nodded firmly, “Nothing dirty.
Seeing her innocent and sincere eyes, Giuliana did not continue questioning her, thinking that perhaps she was working efficiently.
When Kennedy arrived, she called out to Giuliana shouting, “Who did the cleaning today?
Giuliana was stunned and asked, “Didn’t she do it right?
-Before I get angry, let her do it again,” ordered Kennedy.
