After Alvina finished washing her clothes, she went downstairs and coincidentally saw Joseph, who was walking upstairs. He raised his head and watched her walk down, the light in his eyes as gentle as water.
Alvina's feet slipped and she almost fell, looking somewhat miserable.
"Be careful!" When Joseph saw her walking, he was stupefied. He really wanted to laugh and remind her with a low voice.
Alvina was captivated by his gentle gaze, and only now did he not see the steps under her feet. Her face was flushed red, and she did not dare look anymore.
"Come here, time to eat!" The man held out his hand to her as if inviting.
Alvina extended her hand out, her hand that had just washed her clothes was stained with water, it was extremely cold at the moment, and the man frowned and clenched her fist.
On the table, there were four dishes and one soup. It was obvious that the men were very attentive.
Alvina took the initiative to go into the kitchen and help the man carry the food out. She even handed the fork to him, and Joseph smiled at her in a gentle manner throughout the entire process, to the point that she felt uncomfortable.
"What?" Alvina pretended to be calm and sat down and picked up her fork to eat.
Only then did Joseph sit by her side, and brought a bowl of soup over to her: "Drink the soup first, it's specially made for you."
Alvina pursed her lips into a smile, took the spoon and drank it all down.
Right now, the two of them were like a real couple, living a common life. It was indescribably warm.
Joseph's culinary skills were very good, the dishes were delicious, and most of all, Alvina was greedy for food, and wanted to eat more of the food he cooked.
"Alvina, are you used to the new job?" After the meal, the two of them walked towards the living room. Joseph asked casually with concern.
"Fortunately, Sister Penelope took care of me." Alvina replied softly.
"That's good!" Joseph nodded.
Alvina suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but reach out to grab his arm, sighing softly: "That Barry seems to have died in a car accident."
"Old President is the one who is kill Barry, this is not an accident." Joseph explained to her in a calm voice.
"Too terrifying." Alvina buried her face in his arms: "Why do people look down on other people's lives?"
"This world is cruel to begin with!" Joseph reached out and gently caressed her long hair: "Don't be afraid, Barry deserves to die. Buying debts for his own greed, there's nothing pitiful about it."
"Joseph, I am very worried. Old President is so ruthless, I am afraid …" Alvina was timid and couldn't help but be scared. When she thought about the series of photos that Barry had given of his car, her entire body turned cold.
Joseph reached out and gently embraced her in his arms, then pressed her thin lips against her forehead and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'll be careful."
"You must promise me that nothing will happen to you. I… I won't be able to take it." Alvina reached out and hugged him tightly, like a child who was afraid of losing his family members. Unexpectedly, Joseph liked the feeling of strongly relying on him. He pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the unease and worry on her face, he could only comfort her more gently: "Alvina, you are the person I am most worried about, I am not worried about my own situation, I am afraid of your accident, since we have all seen the methods of the Old President, we should be more careful, the Old President does not dare to kill people for no reason, and there are still laws in this world, even though he has a higher position, there still needs to be fear."
"En!" After Alvina's mood had been comforted, she raised her head and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm afraid of death, I'll be more careful in the future."
"Everyone is afraid of death!" Joseph did not laugh at her.
Alvina nodded her head; she felt that what she said was true.
A phone call disturbed the two people who were snuggling up to each other. When Joseph saw the call, his expression became serious.
After he picked up the phone and answered a few questions, he hung up and said to Alvina: "I have urgent matters to attend to at the office; I'll go take care of them first. You should rest early!"
Alvina did not dare hang on to him, and quickly stood up, asking with concern: "Did something big happen?"
