After Anthony hung up the phone, his smiling face became serious, and his eyes became colder.
Standing in front of the door window, Anthony was thinking about something, suddenly he laughed derisively.
He felt he could never forget that scene in his life.
The Carlos family, the Collazo family and the Espinar family were very close.
At that time, the Carlos family and the Espinar family had thought about marriage. But since that marriage had not worked out, the Carlos family was left with only Jorge, and at that time, Jorge had never said anything about it.
The three families were close and naturally had a lot of exchanges between them.
Anthony was an only child, but in the Espinar family there were Zoe and Ruben. Anthony and Zoe were about the same age, so they often played together as toddlers.
Like everyone else, Anthony liked Zoe, who was pretty, smart and had all the good qualities.
He had many dreams about this outstanding girl, and even thought it would be nice if the two families could become engaged.
Just as he was about to tell his grandfather that he would propose to Zoe when she reached adulthood, and that he could take care of her for the rest of her life if she was willing.
But it was at that moment, he stumbled upon a cruel scene.
That day, he went to the Espinar family, and was ready to invite Zoe on an outing. Since he was a bit anxious waiting outside, he went straight in to find her. And he accidentally overheard a conversation.
-Miss, Anthony often comes to you, do you like him?
It was the voice of the maid asking Zoe.
At that moment, Anthony stopped, so nervous that his whole body pressed against the wall without daring to let out a sigh.
He liked Zoe, but he didn’t know if he wanted to. Only that she was quite happy accepting gifts from him and loved going out to play with him.
That meant, even if she didn’t like him, her impression of him wasn’t too bad.
-Anthony? -Zoe laughed, “That’s impossible.
The maid, -But, I think he looks at you differently, and Anthony treats you very well, too. Besides, you’re so beautiful. I’m sure he likes you.
-No, no, no, no. I don’t want to hear it, and I think he treats me like the others. Besides, if an uneducated man like him charms me, he’ll be out of his depth. He has to know himself again.
When Anthony, who was hiding outside, heard this, his face instantly changed color.
He did not expect the ever beautiful and dignified woman, Zoe to actually say such ugly words. All these words were directed at himself.
He felt his heart break in an instant, and all his illusions about her crumbled.
-She’s right. Anthony is not worthy of you. He’s here again today, should I let him come back?
Zoe waved her hand nonchalantly, “Forget it. If he wants to wait, we’ll let him wait. I like the feeling of being surrounded by men.
Anthony was quiet.
Evidently, he had a bad impression on her. But wasn’t she rejecting him outright?
Anthony left quietly and came back. From then on he never looked for Zoe again. That year, he was not yet an adult and had already begun to be romantic. He would date any girl as long as she confessed her love to him.
They needed each other. He was especially quick.
He also knew that it was kind of hard in this world to be mutual and take the other party seriously into account.
But, it was unbearable that his heart was stepped on and scorned by her.
After Anthony turned bad, Zoe despised him more. Every time she met him, she would look at him with disgust, but she still pretended to be polite and smiled at him, as if she was on good terms with him.
Anthony had seen her true face. So the more she pretended, the more disgusted he became with her.
Now she wanted to commit to Kennedy? But Kennedy didn’t like her. It was her turn. The powerful lady of the Espinar family also fell out of favor.
How did it feel to be rejected?
***
Alice arrived at the company and first went to clean the office for Kennedy.
Then, the employees also arrived steadily. At the same time, Alice received a message from Giuliana, who told her that she would not be able to come to the office in the morning, and that she should be attentive to calls from the secretary’s office and ask the president for advice on particularly important matters.
Alice promised. After a while of hustling and bustling, Kennedy finally arrived at the company. As he was passing the secretary, he said, -Give me a coffee in my office.
Then he disappeared.
This indifferent look left Alice frozen in place.
Eh……
Had she forgotten what happened last night? Why was she so indifferent?
Or was everything that had happened last night just her imagination?
With these thoughts, Alice walked to the kitchen to make coffee and brought it into the office.
-The coffee,” She cautioned him quietly, and placed the coffee on the desk, then stared at Kennedy next to her.
“I guess it’s not my illusion from last night.” Alice thought as she stared at him.
Probably because her gaze was too intense, Kennedy looked up at her, -Anything else?
-Huh? No, nothing,” Alice shook her head, and turned to walk out the door.
She bit her lip as she walked, wondering if the night before had really been a dream and Kennedy hadn’t really been there for her.
But how could it be so real?
What she didn’t know was that Kennedy had stared at her back for a moment. Then she withdrew her gaze and went back to work.
In Giuliana’s absence, all the work fell on Alice’s shoulders. She made many trips to the office to report on her work, but Kennedy’s expression was always cold and indifferent.
At the end of the day, Alice lay down on the couch, very tired.
But then her desk phone rang.
Alice looked at the time and saw that she was already off work….
She had no choice but to answer the phone with her tired body.
-Hello?
-Come to my office.
Having said that, he hung up right away.
Alice didn’t ask herself any questions, and after hanging up she headed for Kennedy’s office.
-Sir?
Kennedy raised his eyes and looked at her warmly.
-Come here.
Alice believed he had something to command her. Even if he was out of work, but he was still her assistant.
So Alice approached him directly. As she was about to ask him what he wanted, suddenly, Kennedy grabbed her pale wrist and pulled her into a hug.
-Ah…
