Chapter 583 Reasons to Lie to Me
Chapter 583 Reasons to Lie to Me
They played around in the office before got back to work, and soon it was time to leave.
Alice thought of a very serious problem.
Because Yanis went to the Nelson’s with Jack, so Zain would come to her company to pick up Yanis
and and then go to pick up Jack.
However, Kennedy would come to pick up Alice.
They might meet.
Thinking of that, Alice changed on her face and talked about it with Yanis.
Yanis realized the seriousness of the matter after hearing it. She looked at her watch and became
panic, “Only ten minutes to go, what should we do?”
Alice bit her lower lip and said, “I can't let Kennedy come over. Otherwise, if my brother finds out...”
The consequences could be bad.
“What to do then? Will you call him and tell him to postpone picking you up?”
“Then he'll just think I'm working overtime and will come faster.”
“......”
Thinking about it, Alice began to pack up things. Yanis was confused, “What are you doing?”
“Leave work early.”
“Leave work early? You......”
“I go straight to his company.”
Yanis was surprised, “Isn’t it too late?”
“Yes, so I will call him on the way and try to get him to stop somewhere else.”
Alice moved fast and put her stuff into her bag, and then walked out. Then she looked back at Yanis,
“Please help me with my work, it is not much, thank you.”
“Ok.”
There was no signal in the elevator, so Alice took the stairs, while sending message to Kennedy.
After texting, she walked faster and when she reached the third floor, her phone rang.
Alice picked it up when she found it was Kennedy.
“What?”
“Where are you?” Kennedy sounded anxious, Alice blinked her eyes, confused, “I, I am in the
supermarket. I texted you.”
“......”
Kennedy was silent for a moment and then angrily retorted, “Didn't I tell you not to go out alone? Can't
you understand me?”
Suddenly he became fierce, Alice was stunned, “I, I just want to buy something.”
“Can't you wait for me to come?”
Alice blinked and then found she had not taken her keys, so she turned to upstairs.
She said while walking, “I am not a cripple, should I rely on you for everything?”
Kennedy suddenly sneered.
“What if you are in danger? Huh?”
Alice was tired after walking two layers of stairs. When she was talking, she gasped for breath, saying,
“It's my own business. All right?”
Kennedy seemed to want to say something, but suddenly he was silent again before he asked, “Where
are you now?”
What?
Alice was nervous and felt guilty at this moment.
“I, didn't I say I am at the supermarket? Why do you ask again?”
“No, there's no sound around you, and there's an echo, and you're panting.”
Alice said in heart: Damn it!
How did she not notice it? There was echo in the corridor. When she did not speak, the echo of
footsteps was like someone was following her.
She had ignored it.
At that, Alice coughed to hide her inner panic, while explaining, “I am in the supermarket’s stairs. The
elevator is broken, so I take the stairs. What is the problem?”
“Oh.” Kennedy sneered, “You'd better obediently wait for me at the door of the company, if you are not
at the door of the company, I will turn your company upside down.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
That was too much of a threat. Alice was angry and said fiercely, “How dare you!”
“Try it.”
Alice, “...”
She bit her lower lip, stomped feet angrily. Kennedy drove her crazy, she scolded, “Whatever, do it as
you like!”
Then she directly hung up.
She was gonna go to the supermarket and see how he turned her company upside down if he could
not find her.
She didn't believe he really dared to take a swing at her company, and if he did, she would never
forgive him.
Back to her office, Alice pushed the door open, panting.
Yanis looked at her with surprise, “Alice, why do you come back?”
Alice went in with a black face and grabbed the key on the table. “I forgot the key. I'm going now.”
After two steps, she suddenly stopped again. “Forget it,” she said.
“Why? Aren't you going to find him?”
Alice did not tell her what happened just now. She really wanted to go against Kennedy, but it was
boring. If he could not see her, he might turn her company upside down.
Well, didn't she bring it on herself?
Never mind.
What was gonna happen was gonna happen. What was she hiding from?
“Well, let fate take its course.”
Alice put the key into her bag and lay down on the sofa to rest.
She was worn out after climbing several flights of stairs.
Yanis, “......”
She was stunned for a few seconds, and then began to pack up her things. After that, she said to Alice,
“I'll go down first, and you can come down later.”
“Ok.”
After Yanis left, the office was quiet down, Alice thought of what Kennedy said over the phone. She
hummed angrily and then took off her shoes and curled up on the sofa.
What a jerk!
She cursed at him in her mind, but the man she cursed in his mind was already driving toward her
company.
Although worried, she admitted that she was timid. She did not dare to go downstairs to face it, so she
could only shrink in the office, waiting for the final result.
Sure enough, even after five years, she was still so timid.
She didn’t even have the courage to face it.
She did not know how long she had been crouching, suddenly the office door was pushed open and a
steady sound of footsteps sounded in the office.
Soon, a tall figure came to her side.
The crouching Alice slowly raised her head from her arms and saw a handsome but icy face.
He bent down in front of her, picked her chin, and looked at her sharply.
“I'll give you one minute to explain the reason for lying to me.”
Alice, “...”
Her lip moved, and she could only say, “Whatever you think it is.”
