Chapter 84 Mr. Ramsey Let Me Stay With You
Terrence was not friendly to Clara because of her relationship with Kieran.
There was a coldness gleaming in Terrence’s eyes when he glanced at Clara with hostility.
Clara did not care about his attitude. Instead, she looked at Alexa with a smile.
“Alexa, I’m so happy about the lunch with you today. See you next time.”
“Thank you, Ms. Powell. Goodbye,” Alexa said sincerely.
“How much did you spend, Ms. Powell? I’ll give you the money now,” Terrence said.
After hearing Terrence’s words, Alexa instantly felt embarrassed.
Clara was not affected by Terrence’s words at all. Instead, she straightened her back.
“Mr. Ramsey, money cannot always talk. Goodbye, Alexa. See you next time.” Clara
waved at Alexa
after those words.
“Goodbye, Ms. Powell.”
Clara drove the eye-catching Porsche away in the envious sights of others. While Terrence
was not paying attention, Alexa immediately struggled out of his arms and quickly turned
to leave.
Terrence followed her with a cold expression, like a moving iceberg.
“Why were you with Clara?” Terrence asked.
Hearing Terrence’s cold voice, Alexa replied without turning her head.
“I happened to meet her, so we had a meal together.”
“Do you have a good relationship with her?”
“Not bad.”
“Why?”
Alexa became impatient about Terrence’s endless questions.
Terrence questioned Alexa as if he were interrogating a criminal, making Alexa feel a little
repulsed.
“No reason,” Alexa replied coldly and quickened her pace.
Alexa pressed the button of the staff elevator. Terrence followed Alexa closely and pressed
the
VIP-exclusive elevator next to the staff elevator.
Terrence turned his body to block the door of the staff elevator and ordered.
“Come here.”
Alexa glanced at Terrence and stood further away instead.

“No, no. Thank you, Mr. Ramsey,” Alexa said.
In Alexa’s opinion, it was dangerous that Terrence had hugged her at the gate of the
company. minutes ago. Therefore, she couldn’t take the elevator with Terrence. After all,
Alexa didn’t want
her colleagues to doubt her relationship with Terrence.
Terrence didn’t waste any time talking to Alexa. The next second, he quickly reached out
and
grabbed Alexa’s wrist.

“Hurry up,” Terrence urged.
Alexa looked around timidly. As they had a stand-off for quite a long time, the elevator
door made
an abrupt and ear-piercing alarm.
Alexa was immediately frightened out of her wits. At the same time, Terrence took Alexa
into the elevator adroitly and unhurriedly.
The elevator doors finally closed. Alexa was standing behind Terrence like a dumbbell.
Terrence turned his back to Alexa and asked without rhyme or reason.
“Are you full?”
“Yes.”
After Alexa finished speaking, Terrence said with a bit of loneliness.
“I haven’t had lunch yet.”
Alexa didn’t echo but complained in her mind, why did you tell me that? What can I do?
Could it be that you want me to feed you?
And I remember that Brynlee prepared breakfast for you. Didn’t she make lunch for you?
Suddenly, what Clara had said a few moments ago popped into Alexa’s head.
Alexa thought, Clara said there was some public opinion about me.
Moreover, Kieran has solved the problem for me. I guess Terrence already knew the story.
But Terrence didn’t mention anything related to that at all.
Alexa bit her lower lip and asked tentatively.
“Was there any news about me on the Internet a few days ago?”
́Alexa had mentally prepared for what Terrence would say. After all, Alexa believed the
news was nothing more than something about the Duran family.
Terrence’s vibe, however, went cold for a moment, as if Alexa had offended him.
“I don’t know. Why are you suddenly talking about such a strange thing? Did someone say
something bad to you?” he asked in a cold and suffocating tone.

“No,” Alexa immediately denied, “Ms. Walton appears in public more frequently. I’m
worried that
the media will make an issue of it.”
“No. They don’t dare to,” Terrence said firmly as if he strongly defended Brynlee.
“OK.”
Alexa immediately stopped the topic.
Alexa didn’t want to irritate Terrence as she talked about Brynlee.
After returning to her office, Alexa saw the food on the table.
The food had gone cold and looked untouched.
Alexa thought, did Mina ask someone to bring me the food?
Thinking Terrence hadn’t had lunch, Alexa heated the food with a microwave and sent it
to
Terrence.
Meanwhile, Terrence sat down on a chair and was about to ask Edwin to order lunch for
him when
Alexa entered his office.
She considerately placed the dishes on the table one by one and said in a flattering voice.
“You didn’t have lunch. I have some dishes, and I’ve heated them.”
Terrence silently moved the corner of his mouth, picking up a fork to taste the fish.
However, Terrence had heated dishes many times. Therefore, the flavor was greatly
diminished as Alexa had heated them again minutes ago.
Terrence didn’t mind at all. Instead, he silently ate up all the food.
Unexpectedly, Terrence would accept such a charity on an occasion like that.
“Let me clean it up,” Alexa volunteered.
Terrence, however, did not agree. Instead, he changed the topic.
“Tell me why were you with Clara?”
7/5
Alexa had to get her meal with Clara over to Terrence again.
Therefore, Alexa repeated what she had said to Terrence. Nevertheless, Terrence did not
believe a
word from Alexa.
“Alexa, do you think you can easily fool me?”
Terrence stared at Alexa with his sharp eye as if he could see through her.

“Kieran is never a gentleman. And how could his sister be gorgeous?”
Alexa felt annoyed because of Terrence’s words.
Terrence was always full of hostility towards Kieran, which also bothered Alexa
sometimes.
Alexa understood Terrence refused to believe her.
Meanwhile, Alexa pursed her lips, looking at Terrence calmly.
“I just need a friend.”
“A friend?” Terrence widened his eyes a bit.
“I just need a friend to talk with.”
“I understand.”
Terrence frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
Alexa wasn’t sure whether Terrence could understand what she meant and then left his
office
half-heartedly.
After work, Alexa went to the hotel as usual.
However, Alexa saw a tall figure when she reached the door of the room in the hotel.
“Carissa!”
Alexa shouted in delight and trotted to the woman.
Carissa took off her sunglasses and opened her arms to Alexa.
Alexa threw herself into Carissa’s arms and believed what was happening was real.
“How did you know I was here?”
“Your Mr. Ramsey asked me to come here.” Carissa touched her hair. “He said it was not
safe for you to live outside alone and let me stay with you.”
“Terrence is too reckless. How could he shamelessly bother you?”
“I didn’t want to reply to him. But I cared about you, so I came to you by plane as quickly
as possible.”
“Come in. I’ll order someone to serve dinner now.”
Carissa followed behind Alexa and entered the room. After looking around, Carissa could
not help
frowning.
“Alexa, why are you living in such a bad room? Did you quarrel with Terrence?”
“No, we didn’t. It’s because Brynlee is living in Terrence’s house,” Alexa explained.
After hearing Alexa’s answer, Carissa instantly looked at Alexa with a grimace.
