Chapter 5
S-eeing that it was her, the man didn't move his gaze away from the documents on the table. With a calm voice, he asked, "Is something the matter?"
Alice walked to the front of the desk with light steps. A sweet smile flashed across her exquisite face, and her voice sounded a little flirtatious as she said: "Manager Edwards today is my birthday. Could I invite you to my home tonight?"
"Sorry, my trip today is packed. I can't spare the time to go over." Edwards's expression was still as cold as water, the woman's passionate invitation did not pique his interest.
He had allowed this woman to enter his domain only because her body had saved his life five years ago.
However, this did not mean that this woman could act as she pleased in front of him.
After four consecutive years of rejection, the expression in Alice's eyes suddenly became dejected.
She forced out a tinge of tears, causing her charming, sentimental eyes to fill with tears.
"Alright, I understand!" Alice suffered a huge blow. The man in front of her had held her up as the queen, but he had never been willing to be her king.
This was something that Alice had never been able to do. Other men rushed to her like a flock of ducks, but this monarch like man treated her as air.
"Anything else?" The man slightly raised his brows, revealing his deep face.
Alice's entire body seemed to have been lightly hit by lightning, even her soul was almost sucked in by his terrifying pair of eyes.
The man's sexy and deep facial features were like a knife cutting. Every part of his facial lines was like those created by God himself.
Her sexy and thin lips slightly moved, and his calm and emotionless voice instantly caused Alice to wake up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
"It's alright, I won't disturb your work any longer. I'll be leaving now!" Alice embarrassedly held back her tears as she left the office in a hurry.
As the night fell, Lily had already settled two babies down and had they be taken care of by her aunt.
The two little guys had always been obedient since they were young. As a son who was born half an hour earlier, he had the bearing of brother and the bearing of wind criminals. Being calm and wise at such a young age, he could take good care of his younger sister without her explanation.
Lily felt that the most correct decision she had made in her life was to give birth to this pair of adorable treasures.
With them, she would have the courage to fight against the world.
"George, take good care of your sister. Listen to my aunt's words. Mom has urgent matters to attend to." Lily squatted down, rubbed her son's little head, and gently said it again. Then, she held her son's little face and kissed him, and then she kissed her daughter's little head.
First, Aunt Sophia looked at Lily worriedly, and said with concern, "You just took the thing and you come back right away, understand?"
Lily looked at her aunt's concerned face and nodded: "I know!"
"Mummy, be careful outside." George caught up to her and took a few steps forward. His young voice was soothing to hear.
Lily patted her son's head again, smiled, and then pushed the door and left.
She tightened her backpack. Her aunt was worried that she would get into a fight with someone of the highest rank, but she was much calmer.
She was no longer the impulsive herself from five years ago. This time, she only wanted to retrieve her mother's things. As long as they handed the things to her, she would immediately leave.
When Lily rushed to the Scott Clan villa, she discovered that there was a long queue at the entrance of the Scott Clan villa. The roads on both sides of the door were packed with reporters and onlookers.
