Hearing that Joseph Grant was angry, Alvina just stood there in a daze. Her beautiful face tensed up and revealed signs of unease.
Victoria stood at the side with her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking like she was watching a good show. When Joseph Grant got angry, Alvina was afraid that she would not get anything good.
"Since I am here, of course, I have to meet him. But … How angry is he? " Alvina intentionally swallowed her saliva and nervously asked his aide—de—de—camp.
The aide—de—camp smiled politely and replied to her: "He smashed the cup beside his hand. He must be very angry, Miss Miller, take care!"
"Pfft!" Hearing his reply, Victoria couldn't help but laugh out loud. She looked at Alvina with her peach blossom eyes, as if she had foreseen her miserable state.
"What a waste, the resources here are scarce, he broke the cup." Alvina muttered in a low voice. Taking two steps forward, she fiercely turned her head around and stared fixedly at Victoria.
Victoria was unable to retract the smile on her face in time, she was caught by Alvina, causing her smile to freeze on the spot.
"It's you … You intentionally called me here? " Alvina was so angry that she took a step forward.
"I didn't use a knife to hold you by your neck. You can stay at home. But now, you're blaming me instead. How laughable." Victoria scoffed. Her tone filled with ridicule.
Alvina was furious, and said angrily: "It's you, Victoria, you are too disgusting!"
She did not dare to refute a single word after being scolded by Alvina. That was right, she had done it with malicious intentions, to see Alvina become a joke.
" Miss, do you need me to accompany you in?" Rain did not know anything, so he was more worried. If these two misses were to fight, he would not hesitate to throw Victoria out.
Alvina was naturally putting on an act for Victoria and the others to see, but she had confidence in herself. Even if Joseph Grant wanted to scold her, she would have to bear it. She came here without his permission, so she had to take the punishment.
"Rain, wait for me here. I'll be right back!" Of course, Alvina didn't want Rain to follow her, so she could communicate with him.
The assistant led her to a house by the side, where Joseph Grant was currently staying. There was a circle of guards surrounding and guarding outside. When Alvina walked in, she just happened to meet Zoey and a few people in charge coming out.
She went forward and grabbed her hand, and said happily: "Alvina, I never expected that you would come as well."
"I didn't expect it either!" Alvina was embarrassed.
"Let's go in!" Zoey secretly blinked her eyes at her.
Alvina's face turned even more red, as though she had discovered some secret.
Alvina walked in and found that inside was an office that had been temporarily cleaned up. It was very simple and crude, there was no air—conditioning inside, only a pot of charcoal was lit, and it was the only thing that warmed up. Joseph Grant was sitting on the sofa beside him, holding a cup of fresh coffee in his hand, using it to refresh his spirit.
He held the cup as he stared unblinkingly at the girl who walked in. His expression seemed to be saying, "Who asked you to come?"
Alvina was already extremely guilty. When she saw the man's unfathomable and deep gaze, she immediately lowered her head, wishing that she could bury her face in her voluminous down jacket.
Joseph Grant originally wanted to scold her a few times. Seeing that she was shrinking her head, he couldn't think of anything to say. He threw the cup in his hands onto the table, stood up and walked towards her.
"Joseph Grant, I'm sorry!" Seeing him walk over, Alvina finally dared to raise her head and look into his eyes. She realized that there was a depressing look around his eyes because he did not have a good rest, causing her to be heartbroken.
Joseph Grant did not say a word. His first move as he walked over was to ruthlessly pull her into his embrace, then wrap his sturdy arms around her shoulders and buried his head into her neck.
Alvina was still waiting for him to reprimand her, but he didn't expect to receive such a warm hug from him.
"Joseph Grant..."
"Don't say anything, let me lean on you!" The man's voice was still angry, but he was reluctant to refuse. He must be too tired, so he wanted to borrow her shoulder to lean on. Alvina did not dare to say anything else and stood there without moving. After a long while, Joseph Grant finally let go of her hand and let go of her. Then, he reached out to grab her small hand and discovered that it was ice—cold.
"Come and roast the fire! Warm—up!" Joseph Grant said softly.
Alvina really could not reject the temptation of the fire. She was simply too cold and wanted to quickly sit by the side.
Just as Alvina sat down, the man turned around and poured her a cup of hot water. "Drink some water!"
