After a long sleep, Alice rolled over and slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the strange and familiar surroundings, Alice felt a little confused. Probably because she had just woken up, her mind was still in a state of disarray.
It took her a few moments to regain consciousness and she sat up to look around.
She had felt strange and familiar because she hadn’t been here for a long time, but she had lived here alone before for a long time.
This was the room where she and Kennedy had lived.
After Kennedy’s accident, she had been living here alone while running the company for Kennedy.
Now…
She was back.
Although the interval was not long, for her it was as long as a century.
Alice watched for a while and couldn’t help but regret.
When she sighed, Alice felt a dryness and a tickle in her throat, as if she hadn’t had a drink of water for a long time.
She frowned, remembering what had happened earlier.
She had been on a plane for over ten hours, but because she had been uncomfortable on the plane, she slept very poorly. In fact, she had slept less than two hours.
So after getting off the bus and eating dinner, she fell asleep for real.
She didn’t remember anything after that.
But she knew she hadn’t even drunk water or gargled after eating.
Thinking about it, Alice got out of bed, tied up her long hair and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, not knowing how long she had been asleep.
If she wasn’t pregnant, she would be able to take all this.
After brushing her teeth, Alice felt herself freshen up. She washed her face and left the room.
-Madam, you are awake.
The maid said next to her, “Sir has asked us to prepare breakfast for you.
-Well, where is he? -Alice asked.
-The assistant came early in the morning to meet the master to go to the office. And the gentleman asked me to tell him that if he is sleepy he doesn’t have to wait for him, and that the lady should take care of his rest.
Ah, he had gone to the office.
“These two have just returned to the country, don’t they have jet lag?”
“But yes, too much time abroad and no one to take care of things at the company.” Alice thought. She used to be the only one to take care of things at the company, with Nathan helping her. Then Alice left, only Nathan was left to do a lot of things in the company.
The fact that he had been with Kennedy for so many years allowed Nathan to handle the company’s affairs. And he had met the main shareholders and directors. Dealing with the issues was not difficult for him.
When Alice became vice president, many were not convinced. The managers who had been recruited by Oliver Moore, and even those who had not been recruited, came to the office from time to time.
It was Nathan who helped her at first.
Alice was not a very strong manager at the time, as she was pregnant and worried Kennedy a lot. So it was difficult for her to manage to work eight hours a day, let alone manage things.
Only with Nathan’s help did she manage to stabilize.
It was all a hard experience.
After breakfast, Alice went to her room to change her clothes and then walked around calling her brother Zain.
Zain said when he received her call.
-Kennedy told me about this, how are you?” asked Zain on the other end of the phone with concern.
Alice froze for a moment, and thought that Kennedy had probably told Zain that she hadn’t been feeling very well on the plane, and that’s why she was asking him.
-Don’t worry brother, I’ve slept and I’m fresh now.
-Well.
At once, Alice heard a familiar female voice on the other end of the phone.
-Sir, the meeting is about to start.
Zain frowned. As he was about to say something, Alice said, “Brother, do you have a meeting? Then go to it, I’m not bothering you.
And with that, she hung up the phone.
Zain still picked up the phone, reached out and pinched his forehead, laughing, -This girl….
He then turned around and headed towards the conference room with Megan.
-Is the lady back? -Megan asked carefully.
Zain nodded, -Yes.
Megan was a little curious, but seeing the look on Zain’s face. She thought about it and didn’t ask.
For some reason, after coming back this time, Zain always made people afraid to approach him, and afraid that if he said something wrong he might get angry.
Zain rarely got angry, he had always been stable and introverted. Although he could not be approached easily, when you appeared before him, he could only sense the dignity of his boss.
Now, on the other hand, he was completely cold.
What had happened during the time he had been overseas?
Megan had a thousand questions in her head, but she didn’t know where to start, nor was she in a position to ask.
But when she saw Zain answer Alice’s phone, his coldness was replaced by tolerance and concern for her loved ones.
After he hung up the phone, he became cold again.
Oh, what the hell happened to him?
***
After hanging up the phone, very bored, Alice sat down by the water. It was winter and instead of putting her feet in the water like she used to do in summer, she could just sit by the water and take in the sun and the view of the sea.
Alice made a video call to Jack.
The mother and son talked for a long while, then George approached Jack and they ended the call.
Alice hung up the video and felt sleepy again, so she went back to sleep.
For the next few days, Alice spent her days in such a state of boredom that she completely forgot about having a companion.
Until Yanis sought her out and told her that he wanted to quit.
Only then Alice remembered this important matter.
-Why do you want to quit?
Alice looked incredulously at Yanis, -You manage the company very well, don’t you?
Yanis shook his head and sighed, -I haven’t seen my parents again for a long time, so I’m thinking of going to look for them, and I probably won’t be able to run the company for a long time.
Alice pursed her lips and didn’t respond.
-Alice, I know it’s too much that I’m quitting now, but….
