Kathy suddenly paused, but the knocking on the door didn’t stop, it was very annoying.
She had guessed that it was Johnson.
“If it’s inconvenient, I’ll go home first.” Kathy spoke.
But Alexia pulled her back, “No, I don’t want to see him, I’ll feel even sick.”
At that moment, Alexia’s phone rang, it was from Johnson.
She turned off her phone straight away.
There was no more movement outside the door, but Alexia was actually a bit disappointed.
“Kathy, I’m going to take a nap, do you want to go home first? I’ll be fine.” Alexia said when she looked
at the time.
Kathy looked at her phone and called Joseph.
He didn’t pick it up, he should still be busy.
She didn’t know where he was having his meeting, so she could only go home on her own.
“Remember to eat the porridge in the kitchen when you wake up, I put the medicine on the bedside
cabinet.” Kathy reminded repeatedly.
When she left, Johnson’s was standing beside his car.
As Johnson was after all Kathy’s boss, she greeted him politely when she bumped into him.
“Is she okay?” The unconcealed fatigue was heard in his voice.
“Alexia is not okay right now. Johnson, if there’s no future between the both of you, stop hurting her.”
Kathy’s tone carried a bit of anger.
Since Alexia was in an ambiguous relationship with Johnson, her emotion was easily fluctuated, she
could see that Alexia really liked Johnson, but if all he could give her was endless pain, then it was
better to stop the relationship in time.
Upon hearing this, Johnson’s hand that was squeezing the cigarette trembled, and hesitations surfaced
in his eyes.
He crossed over Kathy and went upstairs.
The door was knocked again, she knew it was him.
She sneezed and got out of the bed with the blanket on and opened the door.
What came into her sight was a man with a fatigue expression, didn’t he go on a business trip?
He should come back after one week.
Why was he here…
“Are you having a fever?” Johnson reached out his hand and placed on Alexia’s forehead.
His voice was like a lover’s whisper.
Alexia’s voice was so hoarse that she could only nod her head.
She turned around, went back to her room and fell asleep without saying a word.
Johnson sat on the edge of the bed, he purposely cancelled everything and rushed back to see her, but
Alexia didn’t even want to say a word to him.
“Did you take your medicine?”
Alexia didn’t speak.
“Are you hungry?”
She still remained silence.
He sighed, took off his shoes, and went to bed, holding her tightly in his arms. Alexia’s eyes were red,
and she couldn’t push him away.
…
In the city center of City N, there was a skyscraper that was extremely mysterious. Those who entered
and exited were required to go through strict identity verification, and outsiders were never allowed to
go in.
No one had ever revealed the slightest information about the building either.
On the top floor, Joseph was sitting in his office, and John was reporting to him.
“Mr. Joseph, there’s currently a company competing with us to acquire the Herbert’s Group.”
“Who?”
“The Hilton Group.”
Joseph frowned, Hilton Group had been keeping a low profile over the years, Billy only kept idling
around all day and rarely took part in the business. As far as he knew, the Hilton Group hadn’t made
any big moves for a long time.
“Find out what Billy has been doing lately.”
“Noted, in addition, the Herbert’s family eldest daughter, Esmae, has passed away, and now Kingston
plans to let Herbert to marry to Billy.”
Upon hearing that, Joseph’s eyes turned cold.
Esmae…
He was aware of her physical condition, the medicine effect was minimal at the last stage of her
disease, so he wasn’t surprised of this news.
He pinched his eyebrows and instructed John to go out, and after a long while he called him to come in
again.
“Has Kingston been getting close to Hilton’s family recently?”
“Yes, but I did hear that Herbert isn’t willing to marry Billy and has a fight with her family.”
