Ecstacy of the Heart

Alexander took the initiative to kiss her!

He indeed disliked Andrew, but what he dislike more was to see her with Andrew. Even if she was just his nominal wife with a title, he was still unwilling to see her get along with Andrew.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Missus, are you awake?" Lara's voice rang out at the bedroom door. It was not until then did Allison open her eyes slowly.

Taking a deep breath, she looked around the dimly lit room, unable to tell what time it was. She only recalled that Alexander carried her into the room. Then she couldn't recall anything happened after that...

"Missus..."

Allison got up and answered Lara. She put on a nightgown and turned on the light. The man had gone from the bedroom. She silently sighed with relief. If he were still there when she woke up, it would be so embarrassing.

She walked to the door and opened it. "Lara, where is Alexander?"

"The young master went out. He said he had something urgent to deal with. He won't come back home tonight."

He wouldn't be home tonight... Allison kept silent for a moment. Suddenly she thought of a name. A moment later, she shook her head, trying to shake the name off from her brain.

If that was not the case, she might have misunderstood Alexander. If he was unwilling to let her know, she'd better not to make wild guess.

Meanwhile, Alexander was in a VIP ward of JH Hospital.

"Alexander, I really don't want to stay here any longer. Please take me away... Take me away..." The woman lying on the bed looked pale and pitiful, and her body was as fragile as a piece of paper. Alexander frowned deeply. Looking down at the woman who was holding him in distress, he reached out his hand to stroke her hair. "Elaine, I'll take you away when you recover."

Hearing his answer, Elaine trembled. She looked up at him, tears slid down her cheeks. Since her eyes welled up with tears, her light-colored pupils were like translucent cat's eyes. "I can't stay here even for a day. Alexander, please let me stay by your side. Even I could be with you for a day, I'd love to. Isn't that good?"

Alexander frowned. He tried to convince her in a soft tone, "I'll find a way to save you. Please be patient." He was already working hard. In order to save her, he tried his best efforts. But now, it was not the time yet.

Lowering his head and holding up her palm-sized face, he said, "Elaine, you are not the only one suffering. I promise you'll get better. Please give me more time. Trust me, OK?"

Sniffing, Elaine begged him with a whisper, "Could you come to see me more often in the future? You are always busy recently..."

"I promise you," Alexander answered, stroking her cheek with his hand lovingly. "I'll take you abroad a few days later for another advanced checkup. Promise me you'll eat well and sleep well, OK?" Elaine nodded and held him tighter. "As long as you are with me, I'll be obedient."

After coaxing the woman to bed, Alexander breathed with relief. He walked out from the ward slowly and stood in front of a window, lighting a cigarette.

Bernard waked up and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Parker, didn't you quit smoking?"

Alexander slightly frowned. "I will, after Elaine's surgery is done." Elaine was the only woman who could make him quit smoking.

Lying on the bed, Allison tossed and turned. She didn't sleep well.

The holiday was coming soon; she must get all the gift boxes for the employees ready. However, there was no manufacturer willing to take order right now. If she couldn't hurry, she might fail this task. Clenching her teeth, she got up from the bed and looked through the former documents, making a final decision on the style of gift box and the products. Then she started filtering the factory. Since she only had limited time, she couldn't think too comprehensively. Even if she rushed a bit, she needed to make the gift boxes ready first. At least it would be better than nothing.

Finally her eyes focused on a

suitable manufacturer, whose price offered the smallest difference with her quotation. They were also good at this kind of products. She wanted to talk to the business owner in person, which might be possible. However, she worried most now was that tomorrow would be the weekend and she didn't know the business owner's schedule at all.

Suddenly an idea enlightened in her mind. It seemed that she had to go to him for help. However, she needed to wait until tomorrow. Now the most important for her was to have a good sleep. On the second day, as soon as Allison woke up and had breakfast, she called Bernard right away.

After two beeps, the phone was answered. "Hello, Missus? What can I do for you?"

"Bernard, may I ask you for a favor?"

"Please go ahead."

Allison took a deep breath and said in a soft tone, "Could you help me check a person's schedule, please?"

Bernard was Alexander's special assistant. With his ability and skills, it wouldn't be difficult for him to check on someone's schedule.

"Of course."

Hearing his reply, Allison exhaled with a relief. Next second, she seemed to have thought something and added, "And for this matter, please don't tell Alexander. OK?"

"Sure. Could you please give me the name? I'll send it to you directly after it's done."

Allison was overjoyed. She hung up the phone and started preparing for the materials needed for her meeting today.

Shortly, her message tone rang and she received the text message from Bernard. It was a full schedule of Mr. Geoffrey the person she wanted to meet. As long as she could negotiate with Mr. Geoffrey for the matter of the gift box, she could

complete her task.

As thought of it, Allison became quite energetic. Clapping her hands, she continued to prepare.

On the other side, Bernard walked to Alexander and whispered to him, "Mr. Parker, I have something to report to you. Just now Missus called me and asked me to check on the schedule of TL Group's Mr.

Geoffrey."

Alexander frowned slightly. "Mr. Geoffrey from TL Group?"

Bernard nodded. "Yes. If I didn't mistake, Missus wanted to resolve the issue of the gift box for the recent holiday."

Alexander kept silent for a while and said in a flat tone, "That Mr. Geoffrey is notoriously tough. He wouldn't give in the profits easily. I'm afraid he wouldn't accept the price our company quoted." "Then... Shall I help Missus in secret?"

"No need," Alexander answered softly. He remembered that Allison said she wanted to try to resolve the problem by herself. Hence, he'd like to sit back and watch if she could succeed.
