Chapter 59
With other people around, Colin took care of his face, and casually said to Alyssa: “Let’s eat together.”
“Okay.” After Alyssa finished speaking, she saw that Colin’s face changed slightly, and she went on to say, “But not today. I want to eat with my colleague and eat with Dad another day.”
Colin and Alyssa were not close, and didn’t like her, so naturally they didn’t want to eat with her.
Hearing Alyssa’s refusal, his expression relaxed, and the whole person looked a lot milder: “Okay, you go first.”
At this moment, Isabel suddenly turned her head and smiled and added food to Colin: “Dad, you try this. I think their food is doing well today.”
Colin smiled and said, “You eat yourself, and you have lost weight recently.”
What a harmony between father and daughter!
Isabel smiled contemptuously at Alyssa, her eyes seemed to say: You poor parents who don’t hurt.
I have to say that Isabel did poke Alyssa’s weakness.
She thought that she had already cultivated a heart of steel in the Hunt’s family’s use and abandonment of her time and time again, but she was still easily stabbed by the scene of father and daughter’s harmony.
When she sat down with her colleagues, Alyssa’s complexion was still a bit bad.
Some time ago, the matter between her and Isabel was raging on the Internet. These female colleagues are young girls, so naturally they will also go online and know about them.
They also saw what happened just now, and they could feel it somewhat, Colin didn’t seem to like Alyssa very much.
One of them pushed the menu to her: “Look at what you want to eat.”
Alyssa smiled and pushed back the menu: “I’m not picky, you can order first, and I have never been here, and I don’t know what dishes are delicious.”
After listening to her, other colleagues were not polite and started ordering.
They thought that Alyssa was quite easy to get along with, so someone asked her: “Do you know why Melvin took a leave of absence today? What happened in the chairman’s office before?”
“I don’t know, did he do a lot of bad things in the past? Maybe it’s the reincarnation of Heaven who wants to clean up him.” Alyssa was serious nonsense.
The others didn’t mind, and laughed, and then began to expose Melvin’s old bottom.
Alyssa interjected a word from time to time, and the atmosphere was considered harmonious.
Until, a word broke harmony.
“Alyssa, since you are already Adams’ daughter-in-law, why do you still come to work at Hunt’s?”
The person who asked the question was not malicious, but this question is really difficult to answer.
Alyssa paused, her voice a little hesitant: “This…”
Someone took the initiative to relieve Alyssa: “Oh, eat quickly. Time is running out. After eating, we can rest for a while.”
The person who asked the question did not follow up.
In fact, everyone in the company felt that Alyssa was not welcome at Hunt’s house.
Although the disfigured and impot3nt Young Sir Adams was the first heir to the Adams’ family, his physical condition was not suitable for taking over the Adams’ family. Many people speculated that the heir might be replaced, but there was no definite news.
Fading-Departing from the aura of Adams’s heir, Young Sir Adams is just a waste person, and Alyssa has to go out to work when she is unwelcome.
Even if she get out to work, she still has to do such a hard job as a market researcher, which looks really pitiful.
Alyssa looked at her female colleagues in a dazed manner, who kept picking up vegetables for her. The look in her eyes seemed to be sympathy?
After thinking about it, she understood what was going on.
From a bystander’s point of view, it seems quite pitiful…
…
Karl stayed in the company for a day.
When he got off work, Peter rushed over to look for him: “Let’s go for a drink!”
When Karl came to the company, his job was much easier, and he wanted to go out in a good mood.
“No.” Karl refused without raising his head.
Peter rolled his eyes and said, “Why are you going back so early? Just stay at home when nothing is wrong, go home after get off work, and don’t participate in any activities. You are totally an elderly person.”
Karl’s light and fluttering words slammed Peter back.
“Everyone with a wife is like this.”
Peter twitched the corner of his mouth: “Haha.”
At this moment, Clayton also came in.
He didn’t know that Peter had just encountered Karl’s crit, and asked, “Can you go now?”
“Go.” Peter said and walked outside.
Clayton glanced at Karl, “Are you not going?”
Peter answered Karl with an indifferent expression: “People with a wife do not live overnight.”
As Peter had expected, Clayton showed an expression of consternation.
“Let’s go, the two of us can just go for a drink, who will let us have no wives?” Peter put his hand on Clayton’s shoulder and pulled him out.
Clayton frowned, pulled off Peter’s hand, and turned his head, with a sympathetic tone: “What about a wife? It’s not just about watching.”
Karl sneered, “Don’t even think about going to the house for dinner.”
Clayton’s face became stiff, and the conversation turned, and said, “Envy you who have wives.”
Peter couldn’t help kicking Clayton!
Why can’t I be more promising? Why do they have to lose in front of Karl every time?
Clayton didn’t seem to feel the pain and didn’t bend his legs.
Peter took him and walked out: “Don’t be embarrassed here.”
After speaking, he turned back to Karl and said, “Let’s go first.”
Karl was in a good mood, and he could hear a bit of joy in his low voice: “Go ahead, count me in the account.”
It’s just that when Karl drove home and looked at the empty villa, his good mood disappeared.
He took out his cell phone and called Alyssa, but the call was not answered until he was hung up automatically.
He pressed twice in a row, but no one answered.
Didn’t pick up on purpose, or something happened?
Karl stood in the empty hall for a while, until the bodyguard beside him couldn’t help but ask him: “Sir, what happened?”
The young Sir looked serious, presumably something great happened.
Karl didn’t say anything. He picked up his jacket and walked out. When he arrived at the door, he seemed to think of something. He turned around and said, “If the young lady comes back, call me.”
“…” Could it be that the young lady hasn’t come back yet?
…
At this time, Alyssa was being dragged to the mall.
When she was off work, she wanted to go straight back.
However, the colleagues who ate with her at noon probably thought it was too pitiful for her to face the empty villa when she went home alone, so they had to drag her out to go shopping.
In fact, she felt that she was really not pitiful, even if she went home to face the empty villa, it was a luxury villa, a thousand times better than the small rental house she used to live in.
However, the hospitality of the colleagues was difficult, so she had to go out shopping with them.
Chapter 60
Alyssa had been thinking about cooking for “Luther”, after all, that was what she promised him.
But since entering the mall, Alyssa was dragged by them to watch this one try that one.
When the sky was getting dark outside, Alyssa found an excuse and said, “I’m tired. Find a place to rest.”
Then they found a place to drink drinks.
Alyssa took out her mobile phone, only to see two missed calls from “Luther”.
She thinks that “Luther” should have poor patience. She didn’t expect him to call her twice. She can even imagine that after he finished the second call to her, he was angry. He can’t bear it.
Alyssa stood up and said, “I’m sorry, I have to go back first. Thank you today and invite you to dinner next day.”
Out of the mall, she walked toward the bus stop while calling “Luther”.
After a few rings, the phone was answered.
“Where?”
“Luther”‘s voice is already very low, but if his mood is not right, his voice will naturally become a little gloomy in others’ ears.
Alyssa felt that her neck was a little cold.
She reached out and touched her neck, and said, “Still outside, I will be back soon. If you are hungry, you can find something to eat.”
He repeated it again: “I asked where you are.”
The impatience and anger in the tone were no longer concealed.
Alyssa turned her head and glanced, and then told “Luther” the name of the mall.
Since the last time “Luther” threw that awesome-looking black card in front of her, she never dared to mess with this young Sir casually.
Alyssa turned around and walked to the door of the mall again, waiting for “Luther” to come over.
She waited at the entrance of the mall and saw the car after a short time.
She was about to go there when she heard someone calling her: “Alyssa, you haven’t left yet?”
Alyssa turned her head stiffly, and saw that the colleagues standing behind her were those who were shopping with her.
“Yeah, I still…”
Only halfway through Alyssa’s words, she was interrupted by “Luther”.
“Alyssa, get in the car.” Karl drove the car to her side and stopped, lowered the window, and looked at her blankly.
Those colleagues showed a shocked expression in unison: (⊙o⊙)…
Alyssa felt like it was over.
Alyssa turned to look at “Luther,” and said with a smile, “Although I am younger than you, I am also your cousin anyway.”
Karl tilted his head slightly, glanced at the colleague behind Alyssa, raised his eyebrows, and said in an impatient tone: “Get in the car.”
Alyssa felt that he was starting to be impatient again. She was afraid that he would make trouble again, so she turned her head and said to the person behind her: “My husband’s cousin, he picks me up on the way, so I will leave first.”
She didn’t dare to stay any longer, opened the door and got into the car.
When “Luther” started the engine, Alyssa looked in the rearview mirror, and she could still see the female colleagues gathered around and violently talking…
Alyssa sighed and turned to look at “Luther”: “Why are you here so fast, do you work around here?”
“Luther” ignored her.
Alyssa turned her head and looked out the window, he didn’t want to talk to her yet.
…
Back home, Alyssa went to the kitchen to cook.
In the past few days, she has been familiar with the taste of “Luther”, he is a person who is not spicy and unhappy.
After eating, the two went back to their rooms.
Alyssa took a shower, lay on the bed and played a video with Tina.
Tina wore an ancient costume with antique buildings behind her.
Alyssa asked her: “Are you still in the studio right now?”
“Yes, shooting night scenes.” Tina ran to a corner with few people and whispered to her, “Do you know who I am playing against today?”
“Who?” Alyssa thought of something suddenly, and said: “It can never be Gerald Cain? Didn’t he go abroad to study?”
“It’s him!” Tina’s tone was very excited: “The director seems to have met with the film emperor, so I asked him for a cameo appearance. I happened to have a match with him. What should I do if I am so nervous that I am shaking all over?”
Alyssa pursed her lips and said quietly, “I don’t know, I’m also nervous.”
Gerald is the youngest Grand Slam actor among all the previous actor, Alyssa has been a fan of him for eight years.
There was a voice on the other end of the phone: “Tina, come over and play!”
“Come right away.” Tina replied and said to Alyssa: “I’ll go there first. I will help you find Gerald for an autographed photo. You may not get a photo, but I will try my best.”
After speaking, she turned off the video.
Alyssa: “…” She is not as wretched as Tina!
…
The next day.
When Alyssa arrived at the company, she felt that the eyes of the female colleagues looked strange at her yesterday.
She had expected this kind of scene early in the morning and didn’t care much.
Melvin was probably terrified by Alyssa’s lesson, and the next few days were as quiet as a chicken without trouble with Alyssa.
It was not until Friday that he brought someone to find Alyssa: “Today you two go out to do market research. Today is already Friday. You will report to me next Monday.”
What he brought was a tall man who looked very simple and honest.
Alyssa glanced at the man, very strangely.
There are so many people in the marketing department. Not everyone knows Alyssa a few days after coming, so she didn’t think much about it.
When the two left the company, they took a taxi.
Alyssa asked: “Will the company reimburse?”
“Reimburse.” The man gave her a weird look.
Alyssa was vigilant, turned her head and looked out the car window, and found that he was driving towards the suburbs.
When she came out, she had read the information. The product released this time was a household daily necessities, and the place they were going should be a residential area.
Just passing by a drugstore at this time, Alyssa lowered her eyes, bit her lip fiercely, and twisted her eyebrows to make a look of pain: “Could you stop the car, I’ll go buy something.”
The man asked her: “What are you going to buy?”
“Pain reliever.” Alyssa turned her head to look at him: “In my menstrual period, my stomach hurts.”
The man realized after thinking about it, and said: “I’ll come with you.”
“Okay.” Alyssa knew that even if she refused his request, he would think of other ways to prevent her from getting out of the car.
She can now be sure that Melvin asked for revenge from this man.
The two got out of the car and went into the pharmacy. The man followed her closely. Alyssa bought the medicine and walked out slowly.
At this time, a man wearing a mask and a peaked cap walked in from the outside, coughing slightly with his hand against his lips. When Alyssa passed by him, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm with a look of surprise: “Cousin, Why are you here?”
The man with the mask seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and he stretched out his hand to lift the cap up, revealing a pair of familiar warm eyes.
