Alice returned to the office with a well reddened face.
Until then Giuliana could confirm that Alice had at all an intimate relationship with Mr. Kennedy, but which put her in a dilemma because from now on, she didn’t know how she should treat her.
“Treat her like an assistant or assign her the simple jobs?” thought Giuliana upset, “How did it touch me that I hired her?”
Today she would have to work overtime, so Alice had dinner in the company canteen.
She was accompanied by Lolita, who was complaining to her, -We have just joined the company and we are already working overtime, I don’t think it’s a good sign.
Alice said calmly, “It’s normal in big companies.
-Won’t we get it every day? -I don’t want to be late to the department because I’m afraid of the dark,” said Lolita in low spirits, “I don’t want to be late to the department because I’m afraid of the dark.
-The dark? Aren’t there any streetlights? -asked Alice.
-Well…” she paused, with an embarrassed face.
Seeing that she was quiet, Alice didn’t question her further and after dinner, the two returned to their offices.
Alice thought that overtime at work was a bonus, especially for young people.
However, in the pregnant state, it was easy for Alice to get tired, but being the newbie, she was embarrassed to ask for leave.
Good thing she was working until ten o’clock instead of eleven or twelve, by which time she would be very late getting home.
With so many rounds of handing out the documents, her legs began to tremble, and Alice sat down on the sofa to rest for a while.
Giuliana sighed, “That’s the life of a rookie. These days we will be very busy. You rest and I will continue with the rest.
-No need, Giuliana, I’ll do it,” Alice insisted.
But Giuliana took the documents from her and said, “Sit down, read the company information, I’ll be right back.
Then Alice caressed her legs. Suddenly, she heard some rumbling from her belly and murmured, -Are you hungry? When it’s all over, we’ll have something to eat.
When she was pregnant, it was easy for her to be hungry.
During the break, Kennedy asked twice for coffee, but they were all served by Giuliana because Kennedy didn’t want to see her.
“But what mistake had I made? He was the one who came up to me and cleaned my spots, I didn’t ask him or do anything.” Alice thought, discouraged.
At last it was all over, Alice got into the elevator with a tremendous tiredness, as she was followed behind by Giuliana, -Have you never worked so hard before? Look how tired you are.
-Tired yes, but not too much. Tomorrow I’ll recover all my energy,” smiled Alice forcibly.
-Very well, you’re still young. By the way, where do you live? I’m taking you home,” said Giuliana.
But Alice shook her head, “Thank you, Giuliana, I live nearby.
Seeing her firmness, Giuliana insisted no more, and the two parted at the door.
Alice thought about taking the subway, but as hungry as she was, she decided to buy something at the supermarket.
Then she returned with the groceries to go through the door of the company.
Suddenly, a car pulled up beside her, whose driver was Anthony.
-But aren’t you Kennedy’s assistant?
Anthony planned to ask Kennedy out for a bite to eat, but he was turned straight down, which left him angry.
His complaints to Anthony’s grandfather, Moises Collazo, made him suffer a lot, that’s why he was looking for revenge, now he found Alice, he suddenly came up with a trap.
Alice identified that it was that man whom she found in the elevator and appeared in Kennedy’s office, besides, he was the one who flirted with Lolita.
Alice greeted him softly and left.
Thinking she was going to stop chatting with him, Anthony was a little disappointed by her indifference, so he stopped her, -You just got off work? So late.
He followed her and Alice became very embarrassed, so she politely replied, -Yes, I’m going home now.
Her intention was very clear that he should not bother her any more.
-But it’s very late, shall I take you home? -he said with a wink.
-Thank you, I live nearby, I’ll be right there,” Alice rejected him, afraid of his mischievous smile.
Anthony understood that she didn’t feel any affection towards him, because she was in love with Kennedy.
But he did not want to give up this chance for Kennedy to suffer, thinking, “If I take me to her, he will come.”
Then Anthony said, “Then I’ll buy you something to eat. I guess you’ll be hungry working this late, right?
-Thank you, but I’m not hungry,” Alice said patiently.
-Really? But Kennedy is coming,” smiled Anthony.
“If Kennedy comes…” thought Alice and paused.
