In Miller family's villa.
Two days ago, Alvina had a relapse of cold and was resting at home. However, she felt too embarrassed to continue asking for leave, so he went to the office on the third day. Penelope called her into her office.
"Sister Penelope, I'm sorry. Did I make things difficult for you?" The moment Alvina stepped into the office, she heard shocking news. Penelope was scolded by her leader, and the reason was actually that she was biased towards Alvina.
Penelope played with the pen in her hand, and she raised her head and looked at her seriously.
Being stared at by her, Alvina became even more nervous.
"I was wondering. You are Mr. Vice—President's wife—to—be, and the higher—ups felt that I was trying to curry favor with you? But he doesn't like you, it's no longer a secret. Why would they scold me for such a ridiculous reason? " Penelope said with a ridiculing tone.
"Ah …" Alvina was still shocked, and her charming face became even more ashamed: "Sister Penelope, I have truly let you down. I never thought that I would bring you so much trouble."
"It's not troublesome, it's just a test for me. Now that the situation is so tense, a great battle is about to occur. Old President wants to know our opinions." Seeing her nervous face filled with self—blame, Penelope put down her pen and facepalmed: "Every general election was difficult for us. We cannot offend anyone."
"Sister Penelope, can you support Joseph Grant?" Alvina suddenly said softly, her beautiful eyes looking at her pleadingly.
Penelope looked surprised, then raised his head and looked at her: "So fast, you're going to end up with a community of interests in him? You little fence—sitter. He talks about getting engaged to you, and you speak up for him."
Even though Alvina had been scolded, she was not angry at all. Instead, she said while beaming: "I did not think too highly of him, I only felt that he has a good character."
"Yeah, he's good at everything, but he doesn't like you." Penelope couldn't help but sympathize with her.
"Sister Penelope, he will be back in the afternoon. When we get engaged, can we invite you to participate?" Alvina sincerely invited her.
Penelope nodded her head: "Of course, I will go. I even told everyone in our office to go."
Alvina instantly laughed. She suddenly realized that having a big sister who was a close friend like Penelope was a great fortune in her life.
It was around five in the afternoon, and it was time to get off work. However, Alvina was not in a hurry to leave.
She sat in her office and when she had finished her work, she became absent—minded.
Since Joseph Grant left the country, they had only called once before hanging up in a hurry.
Now that she knew he had returned home, her heart had long since flown out of her chest.
Tonight, he would probably go home.
Alvina had already informed her grandfather. Tonight, she might not return to Miller family. The old man knew how passionate the young people were, so he did not ask her to go home and accompany him.
Just as Alvina was lost in thoughts and filled with anticipation, at the entrance of the office, a tall and slender figure gracefully walked in.
Who else could it be other than Joseph Grant?
There were other female colleagues in the office. Seeing Vice—President suddenly appear, all of their excited faces were red with embarrassment and without preparation. The elegant and noble Mr. Vice—President walked in slowly, to them, it was like a dream.
However, the dream was quickly shattered and returned to reality.
Joseph Grant had come here all for one person, and that person was Alvina.
"Do you get off work?" Joseph Grant walked in front of Alvina's desk and knocked his finger forcefully, then asked with his thin lips.
For a moment, Alvina was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She could only nod her head.
"Let's go." Joseph Grant's seemingly cold words were even more touching to the ears of Alvina than words of love. She hurriedly packed her bag, stood up, and left with Joseph Grant.
All the women in the office had stunned expressions. From the looks of it, Joseph Grant had no feelings for her. They were not even engaged, but they have lost the passion.
Alvina lowered her head and followed closely behind Joseph Grant. She thought Joseph Grant wanted to bring her home but didn't expect him to directly bring her to his office.
