-What?
Alice thought she had misheard, but was Kennedy really asking her to take money from Jorge?
Kennedy said softly, -It’s his gift to you, next time he gives you money, you take it.
Alice was speechless. Suddenly she felt that George had saved Kennedy as Jesus had saved Judas. The two were talking when suddenly there was a knock on the door behind Alice. She almost jumped for joy and reflexively hid behind Kennedy.
Alice reached down behind Kennedy’s back and inevitably scratched some wrinkles out of his suit. For someone as clean and obsessive as Kennedy, if someone else had done this to her, she would have been furious.
Not only was Kennedy not angry, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
The person who knocked on the door did not get permission to enter, so he knocked again. Immediately afterwards, the two men in the room heard the questioning voice.
-Mr. Kennedy?
-It’s Giuliana! -Alice warned in a whisper, then looked around for somewhere to hide. Finally, she spotted Kennedy’s desk and hurried under it.
Kennedy got up and rubbed his forehead painfully, looking helpless.
-Pass.
The office door did not open until Kennedy gave his permission, and Giuliana entered with an envelope in her hand, and it was strange to see Kennedy standing by the door.
-Mr. Kennedy, are you coming out?
Having said this, Giuliana, as if sensing something, dropped her gaze to his suit jacket.
Giuliana thought again that she had knocked for a long time before Mr. Kennedy let her in. But these were not things she should worry about, so Giuliana handed out what was in her hand.
-Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Jorge was just here.
Kennedy’s expression was calm and he did not seem surprised by her words; it seemed that he already knew Mr. Jorge.
Then Giuliana said at once, -This is the envelope that Mr. Jorge left, I didn’t know what was inside and I brought it to you.
Kennedy thought about what Alice had just told him, so he looked at the envelope, took it and opened it. Sure enough, inside the envelope was a check, so he said.
-I see, is there anything else?
Giuliana stood still for a moment, hesitating, thinking it would be better to tell Kennedy what had happened, and said,
-Mr. Jorge asked me to offer a position in the company to Miss Zoe de Espinar.
Kennedy immediately frowned and became very angry, because Zoe kept trying to get close to him, and Kennedy had made it very clear to him.
Giuliana was right when she saw Kennedy’s frown, Mr. Kennedy really didn’t like women, but Zoe Espinar was a special person and this was not easy to handle.
-Mr. Jorge is very attached to Miss Zoe, and if we don’t accede to his demands and go against the grain, Mr. Jorge can get very angry, but if we obey his will…..
Then Mr. Kennedy’s life would certainly be greatly disturbed.
Although Mr. Jorge’s attitude was harsh, the matter concerned Kennedy, so Giuliana decided to talk to him about it. After all, it was an internal family conflict and perhaps they could resolve it on their own. But then Giuliana suddenly saw Kennedy cast a glance from under his desk, and heard him ask her,
-Giuliana, what do you think of Espinar?
Giuliana froze for a moment at this sudden question, and then replied, -Espinar is a great company and they are very well ranked.
At these words, Kennedy scoffed, -Then why does he have to go far away?
Giuliana quickly understood what Kennedy was thinking and nodded immediately, -I know what has to be done, Mr. Kennedy. If you have no further orders, then I’ll go away.
-Good.
After Giuliana left, Alice was still hiding under the table thinking, “Does Zoe Espinar really want to be in the company? It was a shame that Jorge didn’t like Alice and had even helped Zoe woo Kennedy. Thinking about it, Alice sighed inwardly.
-She’s gone and you still haven’t left? You seem to be enjoying yourself here.
Alice was lost in her own thoughts when she heard Kennedy’s voice.
Alice looked up just in time to lock eyes with Kennedy, but instead of getting up immediately, she asked, -Is Jorge going to get mad again if we don’t give Zoe a position?
Kennedy waited a few seconds, saw that Alice was still crouched under her desk and not coming out, so he simply crouched down in front of her and asked.
-Do you expect me to give her a position?
Alice shook her head, she didn’t want to see Zoe’s disgusted face every day at work. Besides, the way Zoe Espinar was going, she was sure to give Alice trouble every day.
-You get up first,” Kennedy grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, then stood up with her in his arms.
Once Alice was on her feet, she tried to leave Kennedy’s embrace. Instead, she found Kennedy’s hands wrapped around her waist, preventing her from moving.
-I’ll take care of all this, you just mind your own business as usual. But you can’t live there anymore.
-So where am I going to live? -Alice felt bad because she had just rented the house and had paid the rent and the deposit.
Kennedy remembered how Zoe Espinar had lost her mind that day, and looked at Alice, whose eyes were as clear as a lake, and decided not to tell her the truth, so Alice wouldn’t be scared. But Kennedy needed an excuse to get Alice moving, so she said.
-I’m worried that Grandpa will find you in private and find you a new place to live.
Alice blinked and looked at Kennedy, who was standing nearby, -Would you like to live with me while you have the chance.
Kennedy was concerned for Alice’s welfare, but had not told her the reason. Now that Alice had only voiced her suspicions, the atmosphere between the two seemed to become sticky, and Kennedy narrowed his eyes slightly as he glared at her.
-Did I say I wanted to live with you?
Alice didn’t answer.
-Or is it you who wants to live with me?
Alice’s face turned red with shyness and she said slyly, -I didn’t think so, it was you who said you’d trade places with me.
-Yes, I said I’d trade places with you, but I didn’t say I’d live with you.
Kennedy leaned in, his warm breath coming closer and closer to Alice, -It seems this was your idea and wish.
-No!” Alice pushed him away angrily, Kennedy was using literal traps on her.
-Who hung the underwear on my suit last time? Wasn’t that a sexual innuendo on your part?
Kennedy’s lips brushed her ear as she said this.
The two had kissed but not had sex since establishing their relationship. Even if their bodies had reacted, they would have held back because of the relationship.
But now they were talking about it again…..
