As expected, Kennedy’s indifferent gaze swept over her body before he withdrew, saying coldly, -There’s no time.
That indifferent look was as if he hadn’t eaten at her house last night, nor helped her in the kitchen.
Then Alice thought of what Anthony had said to himself as he walked earlier that he was going to get engaged.
Comfort came circling back and Alice secretly bit her lower lip as she said, -No, I’ve already eaten.
Anthony glared back at her in astonishment, as if to say, -When have you eaten? Didn’t I block you in the canteen?
-I thought you called me on business. Since that’s not the case, then I’ll go back to the secretary’s office first.
After saying that, Alice didn’t care about the reactions of the two people and headed straight towards the secretary’s office.
Okay, despite what she advised herself not to be unreasonable or fragile, that he had lost of memory and was so innocent that he didn’t know anything.
But she still felt uncomfortable inside and the bitterness kept coming up.
After walking two steps, Anthony followed, lowering his voice, -Sister-in-law, didn’t you just say it was okay, why all of a sudden?
-I’m not hungry. Go eat and I’ll be back first.
After Alice left, Anthony was still standing in the same spot, regretful. If he hadn’t talked nonsense a moment ago, nothing would have happened now. It was all his fault!
Thinking about this, Anthony turned around and glared fiercely at Kennedy.
Kennedy who knew nothing, said nothing.
-Okay, since none of us want to eat and you’re not free, then I’m going back.
Naturally, Kennedy did not hold him back. As he passed the secretary’s office, Kennedy unconsciously glanced inside, but did not see the woman’s figure.
His brow furrowed unconsciously and his steps slowed.
Not finding her figure, Kennedy left.
Alice hadn’t had lunch and couldn’t sleep, so she went to the canteen for a random bite to eat.
-Alice, are you all right?
-What? -Alice’s expression was a little puzzled, -What’s wrong?
-Anthony came looking for you in the canteen a moment ago.
Alice nodded, -I know.
-You know? -Lolita’s eyes widened, -Why is he still looking for you? Because of the president’s business?
Alice looked at her seriously, -Don’t be so nosy. It’s not always good to know too much about things.
Lolita was furious, -Well, then I won’t gossip, okay? However, you have to stay away from Anthony, who… doesn’t have a very good reputation.
-Thanks for the reminder. I know.
Lolita sensed that Alice was in a bad mood today and didn’t want to share or communicate much with others. How could she be introverted like that? She couldn’t say anything else and said goodbye to Alice.

In the afternoon, Giuliana asked Alice to prepare coffee for Kennedy.
As Alice was preparing the coffee, she thought about what Anthony had said to her at noon and became so angry that she added several pieces of icing sugar to her cup and took it to Giuliana.
Giuliana was busy, so she said, -I can’t leave, so you can send it to the president’s office.
Alice said, -Giuliana, what are you busy with? I will help you.
-No, you can’t help me and just hurry up and bring the coffee to the office.
Alice didn’t want to deliver the coffee to Kennedy, so she could only excuse herself, -Giuliana, I’d better do it and I can learn it.
Seeing her enthusiastic face, Giuliana couldn’t help but stop the movement to look at her.
-What’s wrong with you today, didn’t I ask you to deliver a coffee? What’s with the pushing and shoving? Giuliana was such an astute person that she could see Alice’s pushing at a glance.
Alice didn’t expect the other party to see it at a glance and was now looking at her closely.
She felt a little embarrassed and could only bite her lips and say, -It’s okay, Giuliana. You’ve always delivered the coffee before, haven’t you? If I do, I’m afraid the president won’t be happy.
How was it possible that Giuliana believed her? According to that unusual feeling between her and the president, if she went to bring the coffee, Kennedy would not be unhappy.
-All right. If the president is unhappy, bring the coffee back. I’m busy here. If you don’t want to bring it, you can leave it here and deliver it when I finish my work.
After saying that, Giuliana ignored her and went straight to work, not giving her an answer no matter what Alice said.
Now she looked like a scoundrel, that was to say, if you were willing to serve her, then you can serve her. If you weren’t, it was none of her business even if later the president got angry.
Alice’s head ached and she hesitated for a long time before helplessly grabbing her coffee and heading for the office.
Only after leaving the secretary’s office did Giuliana raise her head again and her eyes looked in the direction she had left with a deep sense.
In the president’s office.
Alice knocked on the door with her coffee and entered only after hearing Kennedy let her in.
When she entered, Kennedy was holding a video conference on his computer. As other voices spoke through his headset, Kennedy’s gaze unconsciously shifted to the woman who came through the door.
He only saw her approach him with his coffee and, after setting it down on the desk, she turned and prepared to leave.
-Stay.
However, Kennedy suddenly called out to her.
Alice paused, her eyebrows furrowing unconsciously. What was he doing calling her?
She turned her head back and shot a puzzled look at Kennedy.
-Wait here,” she said in a cold voice.
Alice did not answer.
For the rest of the time, Alice remained in place, watching him on the videoconference. If it had been in the past, she might have focused on what he was talking about and even thought about it. But today her mind and heart were so scrambled that she didn’t hear a word Kennedy said during this time.
During this period, Kennedy raised his coffee to his lips and took a sip. Just after swallowing this mouthful, his eyebrows instantly knitted.
And he looked at Alice standing beside him, her face as mean as when he saw her at noon.
It seemed that… since the first time they had met, she had never taken a good look at herself….
Kennedy’s gaze deepened as he set down his cup.
What had he done to offend her? Made her not look good all day, and even… not even brewed the coffee right….
After standing for a long time, Alice’s legs were really sore, so she could only speak, -Chairman, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be back first and in the secretary’s office she still has a lot of things to do.
Kennedy did not answer and was still conversing with the person on the other side of the video, as if he had not heard her.
Seeing this, Alice bit her lower lip, a little annoyed.
She had a meeting and didn’t have time to say a word to him, but he was leaving her standing here all the time.
Did he think… she had sent herself of her own free will, so she could do whatever she wanted?
