It was early in the morning and the fog outside the window was thick. A few branches could be vaguely seen. The scenery was so beautiful that it was hard to shake.
Alvina Miller turned over her body drowsily, her two small hands habitually hugging onto something. However, she discovered that this time, she was hugging onto an arm that was as warm as a furnace, causing her to immediately wake up.
Her long, feather — like eyelashes trembled twice before she lifted them away. What entered her eyes was the gentle gaze of a man.
Alvina Miller's small mouth gaped in surprise. Lowering her head, she realized that she was hugging onto one of his sturdy arms. She quickly loosened her grip as if she was scalding it, pushing it back to his side.
"Morning!" The man seemed to have woken up a long time ago, but he looked lazy when he woke up. Even his voice was a little hoarse.
Alvina Miller laughed awkwardly, she pretended to be calm and took off the blanket, but she was scared and hid under the blanket. She extended her hand and pulled at the robe on the side and quickly put it on. While tying it up, she looked at the man who was lying down casually: "Why haven't you gone to work yet?"
"I have other arrangements for the afternoon. There's no need to rush there!" The man's deep and gentle voice sounded.
"Oh, dating a beauty?" Alvina Miller started to joke around very early in the morning.
"If I wanted to date you, would you consider taking a leave of absence?" the man asked.
"But I just go to the new department and apply for leave the next day. Would I not have a good impression of it?" Alvina Miller was really considering this matter.
"Then forget it, let's meet again next time when we are free!" Joseph Grant also flipped himself over and sat up. Last night, he was wearing dark pajamas when he slept. But at this moment, he did not seem to be afraid of the cold. He stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Alas, wait a moment!" Hearing that he was giving up, Alvina Miller's spirits were lifted, and she ran over to block his path: "I'm requesting for a leave of absence right now, where are we going?"
Joseph Grant only wanted to tease her a little, but he didn't expect her to actually take it seriously, and an apologetic look flashed across his handsome face: "Alvina, my arrangements are very important at the noon, you can ask for leave, but I might not!"
"You're lying to me?" Alvina Miller's beautiful eyes instantly grew twice as big, and after that, she said angrily: "I don't want to make an appointment with you!"
"Alvina, don't be angry. I am wrong, I shouldn’t joke with you like this!" Joseph Grant's handsome face tensed up, and his long arm stretched over. It was his injured hand.
Alvina Miller turned her head around, only to see that it was his injured hand pulling his wrist. She couldn't shake him, nor could shake him. She could only reply with a cold face, "I'm not angry!”
"But your expression is clearly ...”
"Give me a present and I'll pretend that this never happened!" After Alvina Miller said that, she gently pushed away his palm and left with large strides.
Joseph Grant was stunned,"..."
This woman was bold enough to actually ask for a gift herself. However, she was also straightforward and cute, making people not need to think twice to guess. Joseph Grant's thin lips curled up as he started to think about what kind of gift he should give her.
When Alvina Miller went to work, she found out at noon that Joseph Grant had actually accompanied the foreign ambassador to play golf.
In order to break the rumors about his injuries, the news had spread internally. Others who heard it felt lucky that the Mr. Vice — President was strong, but when Alvina Miller heard it, all of the blood in her body froze.
Joseph Grant's arm was injured, the wound from two days ago was still bleeding, why did he accompany others to play golf today?
Was he tired of living?
Alvina Miller's mind was buzzing. She could not hear what the people around her were saying, she only had one thought, and that was that Joseph Grant had gone crazy.
"Alas..."
Alvina Miller lowered her head and hastily walked forward, but accidentally bumped into a person who was holding a blueprint in her hand that fell to the ground. Alvina Miller was startled, and quickly apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's just that the next time you walk, I have to bring your eyes with me!" A melodious voice of a woman sounded, neither cold nor hot.
Alvina Miller quickly swept a glance over the diagrams, and discovered that all of them were famous diagrams, and upon hearing this oriole-like female voice, she suddenly raised her head, and saw a face that he seemed to have seen before.
"Be more careful next time, this is Miss Olivia, she's a painter we hired!" A staff member at the side warned Alvina Miller softly.
Alvina Miller hurriedly nodded. "I'm so sorry, I am thinking about something just now. I'll pay attention next time!"
"It's okay, I'm fine!" Olivia's gaze swept across Alvina Miller's face and instantly recognized her. If one were to say that everyone in the office did not know that she was Joseph Grant's fiancee, it would instead be Olivia who knew her because she not only knew of her existence, but also knew her appearance and the relationship between her and Joseph Grant.
Alvina Miller's eyes met Olivia's, and Alvina realized that the other person was staring at her and sizing her up. That gaze was not friendly, but instead seemed to be comparing, causing her to feel displeased.
