Chapter 72 At A Loss

The next day, after sending Stanley to kindergarten, Alex went to his office.

The moment he reached the office, he spotted Kate waiting for him.

When she realized that Alex was the only one in the car, Kate could not help but feel disappointed.

She had been working in Four Seas Corporation in Nebula City for days, but still, she did not see the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation. Kate was starting to get anxious.

As the daughter of the Sutton family, she could not possibly become a real employee in Four Seas Corporation.

“Just you, Alex?” Kate smiled as she walked toward him.

After closing the car door, Alex smirked. “You’re looking for the chairman every day. Are you interested in him?”

Kate panicked when Alex saw through her intentions. She hastily muttered, “What are you talking about? I just have work to report to the chairman.”

Alex remained silent with a smile, and Kate was starting to feel frustrated. She scoffed, “What are you laughing at? I’m not as filthy as you think I am.”

“What am I thinking? You’re the one who’s feeling guilty,” Alex laughed before walking past Kate.

Behind him, Kate made a gesture of strangling him as she gritted her teeth.

In the next second, she pasted her smile back on and ran after him.

“Alex, we’re friends, and I’m Heather’s best friend. You said you were going to introduce the chairman to me. You can’t possibly go back on

your words, right?” Kate laughed politely.

“I haven’t seen the chairman in days. When he’s back at the office, I’ll tell you about it,” Alex mumbled dismissively.

Kate did not know whether Alex was lying to her or not. However, when she recalled that the Jefferson family was looking for the chairman as well, she realized that the chairman might really be hiding from them.

Hence, she stopped feeling suspicious about Alex’s words.

“I’ve invited Heather for dinner tonight. Are you joining?” Kate changed the topic.

“I’ll see,” was Alex’s reply.

Tsk. You’re so dismissive of my invitation. Don’t come, then!

Kate glared at Alex’s back in disdain before scoffing and leaving.

If not for the fact that I need his help, I wouldn’t bother myself with him.

He was just a live–in–son–law of the Jennings family; she would not have wasted her time interacting with him.

“Mr. Jefferson, you’re here.” When Alex reached the doorway of his office, Jessica Saffin had just arrived.

“Yes.” Alex nodded.

“Are you feeling better?” Jessica asked in concern.

“I’m fine now.”

Alex glanced at Jessica when he seemed to have abruptly recalled something. He then took out a bunch of car keys and handed them to Jessica. “I have a phone in the trunk. Help me grab it.”

“Alright.” Jessica took the keys and went down.

Soon, she returned with a phone in her hand.

“Here, Mr. Jefferson.” Jessica placed the phone and keys on Alex’s office desk.

“This is for you.” Alex kept away the keys as he smiled,

“Huh? But…” Jessica was stunned and in a panic.

What does this mean?

He can’t be interested in me, can he?

But he has a family. If I say yes to him, aren’t I becoming his mistress?

Jessica had a conflicted and anxious look on her face; she did not know what to do.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
