    Chapter 501 Let Go of Me, Quickly


    La was shocked. “Why are you saying that, Mr. Price? Paige has-”


    Alex didn’t let La respond. “Who says you can’t feel tired at work? Is it Evan? I ask himter. Let’s


    find


    out if he’s the one behind that silly rule or if you enacted it without his approval.”


    La panicked. “No, I didn’t-”


    Alex scoffed. Momentster, he grabbed Paige by the wrist and said, “Let’s go.”


    Paige tried to break free, but Alex forcefully pulled her into his arms and into the elevator.


    Paige pushed Alex away as the elevator doors closed and said, ‘I don’t need your heroic rescue.”


    Paige appeared stubborn on the outside, but she felt a sense of relief inside. No one had ever stood up


    for her like that, except her parents and Caroline. She had been feeling extremely exhausted for the


    past


    few days,cking the energy for any arguments.


    Alex had indeede to her aid.


    “No, I’m just protecting someone dear,” Alex said with a smile.


    Paige grumbled, “I won’t talk to disloyal people.”


    Alex promptly raised his hand to swear, “I have no involvement with Danie or any of the other women


    before her, nor do I have any ulterior motives with them! If I’m lying, I want this elevator to malfunction


    and plummet!”


    “What’s gotten into you?! Don’t drag me into this if you want to risk your life!” Paige reprimanded.


    Alex held her hand and said, “Paige, I can’t reveal much about Evan’s matters, but my feelings for you


    are


    genuine. I’ve even decided to introduce you to my parents if you can forgive me


    Paige hesitated after seeing Alex’s sincere expression. “Are you serious?” she asked.


    Alex nodded. “Yes! Look how we canmunicate when you’ve calmed down.”


    Paige kicked Alex. “You’re the one who’s not calm!”


    Alex endured the pain and epted It. “You can kick me twice more if it helps.”


    Paige kicked him two more times.


    “Ouch…” Alex knelt in pain, clutching his calf.

    Paige was taken aback and quickly lowered herself. “Hey, Pug. You told me to kick you. Does it hurt


    that


    much?”


    Alex seized the chance to pull Paige into his arms. Tears welled up in his eyes. “I feel iplete when


    you don’t call me Pug. Paige, I’ve missed you so much.”


    Paige pushed him away angrily. “Stop pretending!”


    Alex refused to let go. “I’m not. I can’t bear not seeing you, and my heart aches when I don’t receive


    your


    daily text messages. I promise I won’t meet other women privately from now on. If I must, I’ll inform you


    in advance. You can check on me anytime, okay?”


    Paige’s heart softened upon hearing Alex’s tearful voice.


    Paige also missed him but wasn’t ready to forgive him easily. She initiated the breakup, yet she


    struggled


    to move on.


    “Alright. Isn’t a man like you ashamed of crying like this?” she asked.


    “Forgive me then,” he replied.


    “I forgive you, okay? Let go of me quickly. We’re almost on the first floor,” he said with a smile.


    Alex released Paige’s hand and then teased her, “You seem to have put on some weight recently.”


    Paige’s expression turned icy, and her anger red. “Forget you, Pug! Tell me! How do you want to


    meet


    your end?”


    Reuben took Danie to the hospital’s office to meet Evan.


    Danie found Evan sitting in a chair, reading a report with a serious expression.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    He sat in a rxed posture, yet he radiated an unmatched elegance.


    His handsome facial features entranced Danie. She reined in her wandering thoughts and asked


    softly, Am I disturbing you?”


    Evan replied coldly, without looking up, “The agreement is on the table. Read it yourself.”
