"Aleigha, do you like my tone?"
"Boring!"
"Really? Maybe."
The elevator door opened again, and Aleigha took the lead to walk out.
Maurice followed behind.
"Miss Gardner, Mill is waiting for you inside." The assistant came close to Aleigha and made a report.
"I see. Go work now."
Mill was waiting silently in the office. Aleigha pushed the door open and came in. Then, Mill saw Maurice before opening his mouth.
Silence pervaded in the office.
"You two say whatever you want, and I will turn a deaf ear to it."
Maurice leaned on the sofa and ate the fruit casually as if at home.
"Mill, I will call you later. Leave now."
Mill nodded and left the office after shooting a glance at Maurice.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Aleigha sat on the office chair and looked at Maurice seriously.
"I told you before. I'm bored, and I want to start a love game with you."
Aleigha couldn't figure out what Maurice wanted in this careless and casual way.
"My Lord, could you please spare me?"
"Aleigha, do you dislike me?"
Aleigha was stunned by this question and answered with a smile, "You are famous, influential, and powerful. I will die like an ant if you wish."
"How can I dislike you? What a joke!"
"Then, let's start the love game."
Maurice bit the apple and looked at Aleigha with a complicated look.
Aleigha charmed him like drugs. The more he got close to her, the more he felt bewitched.
But there was always a voice to remind him that this woman belonged to Adrian.
He was tortured by this confusion for days.
Now, he came for an answer.
"Maurice, you are so boring."
Aleigha was always tough to scoundrels, but her pregnancy prevented her from being overexcited.
"Dine with me at noon."
"No."
"Then, I'll stay here until you agree to go."
"Tell me the place."
"I'll take you there."
"Maurice, I'm busy. I accept your invitation for lunch, but please don't disturb my work, OK?"
"Okay, I'll pick you up at noon. I dare you to refuse me."
"Insane!"
Aleigha let out a long sigh of relief after Maurice left her office. Restless, she called her assistant to see Maurice off by herself. Until then, Aleigha got relieved.
Mill looked sulky in his second coming in Aleigha's office.
"Miss Gardner, we got the truth about Ruby."
"Leona or Samantha?"
"Samantha."
Aleigha became cold and sneered, "Samantha should do this! She is a henchman for Leona now."
"Ruby was pushed downstairs by Samantha. A family living on the opposite side of the hotel saw the whole process." "So, we have witnesses now?"
"Yes." "Contact Mr. Maddox. I don't want to waste time on Samantha anymore. It's time to put an end to our entanglement."
Mill nodded and walked out of the room.
A document with a blue cover attracted Aleigha's attention. It was sent here by Environment Protection Bureau yesterday.
