Chapter 1406


    In the end, Lily still agreed to go see Larissa. She had interacted with this man for so long, she


    could roughly see just what kind of person he was. Edwards was definitely not a man who could be


    bewitched by a beauty.


    The news of Alvina and Joseph''s engagement had already been confirmed by some other media,


    and they even said that the Grant family had already visited the Miller Family to propose marriage,


    and had shared the dinner, and discussed the details of the engagement banquet. This time, the


    engagement banquet was arranged by the Grant family, and the date was already set, and it would


    happen in a few days'' time.

    This matter became more and more confidential, but the two parties seemed to have nothing to do


    with each other. They were both in the same office, but no one saw the two of them secretly


    meeting each other. It''s all about doing different things. Like strangers, there''s no intersection.


    Alvina was not someone who needed to be envied by others. On the contrary, she felt more at ease


    with the people who mocked her.


    Those people were looking at her as a joke. They were discussing her behind her back, mocking


    her, trying to destroy her. They said that She said she was the prey of her own initiative,, yet they


    had all kinds of loathing towards her. She didn''t even pay attention to it.


    As long as it didn''t affect her normal work, she wouldn''t hold a grudge against anyone. After all, a


    happy life wasn''t for outsiders. It''s to live for yourself. It''s better than anything.


    Penelope looked at her newly recruited assistant. When she went to the washroom, she heard a lot


    of people nagging at her from behind.


    Maybe women always liked to sympathize with one another, so the more she looked at Alvina, the


    more she felt that he was a little pitiful.


    So she wanted to help her once.


    Penelope could be considered an experienced politician, so she could participate in many


    asions while she also participated in quite a few asions when she interacted with Vice—


    President and Joseph.


    Legend has it that Joseph turned a blind eye to his and treated her like nothing. Then what about


    Alvina?


    What did she think? Would she really want to see Joseph, or would she want to talk about her


    thoughts with him? However, Joseph didn''t give her the chance.


    Penelope suddenly wanted to give them a chance encounter.


    Alvina, I have a meeting with youter. Penelope found a very good opportunity, for this meeting,


    Joseph would be there to listen to the lecture, and let Alvina go over. At least the two of them had


    the chance to meet again.


    "Alright, Sister Penelope!" Alvina stood up like a standby guard and smiled in agreement.


    Looking at her heartless smile, Penelope shook her head like a fool in her heart. No wonder Joseph


    didn''t like her.


    How would Alvina know that in front of her superior, she was already synonymous with misery.


    She took the elevator to the fifth floor and walked through the spacious corridor. At the end of the


    corridor, there was arge meeting room. The solemn atmosphere made it hard to breathe.


    Alvina had been in the Office for so long, but this was the first time she came to such a strict ce


    that no one dared to breathe deeply. She immediately sat down ording to the rules, with her pair


    of beautiful eyes, not daring to look around.


    Penelope turned her head to look at her, and seeing her stiff expression, she kindly reminded her:


    "Do you know who willeter?"


    "Huh?" Alvina did not expect his boss, who was extremely serious, to suddenly tilt her head and


    whisper to his.


    "The Mr. Vice—President wille over!" Penelope asked in a low voice.


    "Huh?" Alvina''s voice was even louder, causing some people to look over at her. She then seemed


    to understand something: "Oh!"


    Seeing her stupid look, Penelope immediately understood. "What, when we have the chance, we


    can chat!"


    "About what?" Alvina didn''t know whether tough or cry. Didn''t they say that Penelope hated men?


    Why did he still have to be her mistress? As expected, rumors were not to be trusted.


    "He''s a Mr. Vice—President, I... I still don''t want it! " Alvina understood that Penelope wanted to help


    her, and she was moved from the bottom of her heart. But, in the Executive Office, she wanted to


    act as a stranger with Joseph.


    "Isn''t he your fiancé? Talk to him. What''s wrong with that? "Did he never give you a chance to


    speak?" Penelope was sad for her.


    "That''s not true either. I''ve said it before, but …I can''t talk to him! " Alvinaughed awkwardly.


    "So what if you get married in the future? He thinks you''re air. Do you really want to be invisible?"


    Penelope couldn''t help but cry out for her.


    "We can talk after we get married. He thinks I''m air, so I can also treat him as air." Alvina answered,


    unwilling to be outdone.


    "Do you know what marriage is?" Penelope was about to be entangled by her to death.


    "Marriage is a way of getting along!" Alvinaughed dryly.


    "I finally found the reason why Mr. Vice—President didn''t like you!" Penelope had an expression of


    disappointment.


    Alvina lowered his head andughed incessantly. She could be considered to be extremely


    intelligent and foolish, but he had to forgive her for not telling the truth to the boss who cared for her.


    If there was a chance in the future, she would definitely thank her and apologize to her.


    With even more people entering the conference room, Penelope did not say anything else.


    Alvina suddenly became absent—minded, thinking that she could see Josephing overter, her


    heart jumped.


    How strange, she was already so close to him, why did it feel like a girl in love seeing her lover for


    the first time? Even the air had be thin.


    Could it be that she had already fallen in love with this man?


    That would be terrible.


    As she was thinking, a tall and straight figure walked in. He didn''t have any sort of noble demeanor,


    but the moment he walked in, the entire ce went deathly silent. Even the breathing of the crowd


    slowed down a bit.


    Joseph sat down on his seat. The conference room was semicircle in shape and Alvina was sitting


    in a corner with bright lights. When Joseph looked around, he saw her and his eyes widened


    slightly.


    Alvina was naturally also looking at him. There was no helping it, he was the center of attention, it


    was impossible to not see him.


    She noticed that the man''s face was slightly stiff. She couldn''t help but lower her head and smile. It


    seemed that he didn''t expect her to have the chance toe over.


    However, Penelope treated Joseph''s stiff expression as a sign of disgust towards him, and she felt


    even more dissatisfied for the foolish girl beside his.


    The meeting was not interrupted by anyone. It was presided over by someone and everything went


    as usual.


    Only Alvina''s heart was beating wildly. She was asionally distracted and in a daze. The pen in


    her hand, however, seemed to be uncontroble, and her writing seemed to be crooked, as if it was


    out of control.


    Joseph sat there expressionlessly, and spoke whatever he needed to say. The people he should be


    lecturing were also lecturing him, but from the beginning to the end, his gaze seemed to have


    disappeared as he looked at the quiet figure in the corner. They had not met for two days. He did


    not expect that they would meet again here, where it would quench his thirst for love.


    However, if he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn''t have known that she was sitting


    amongst the crowd with an indescribable sense of tranquility, beauty, and the elegance of ady.


    It had to be said that Joseph''s mood was extremely cheerful, and even his voice had unknowingly


    be a lot gentler.


    The meeting ended after an hour and a half. Alvina followed the crowd and walked out slowly,


    Penelope turned to look at her and pushed her again, "Go, don''t just stand there!"


    "Sister Penelope, I... I still won''t go! " Alvina was at a loss whether tough or cry.


    "What are you afraid of?" Penelope was worried for her.


    "I''m not afraid!" Alvina immediatelyughed dryly.


    "No, why don''t you go? In the future, you will have no family status, do you understand?" Penelope


    spoke to her as if he was scolding her for doing something wrong.


    Alvina lowered her head, looking troubled.


    Right at this time, Joseph, who had just left ahead of them, suddenly walked towards them.


    "He''s here!" Penelope saw it first, then, he reminded Alvina.


    Alvina froze, she slowly turned her head, only to see Joseph walking towards her with an indifferent


    expression.


    "What''s wrong? You got scolded?" The reason why Joseph came over was obviously because he


    thought Alvina had made a mistake and was scolded by Penelope. That was the reason why he


    came over to help her.


    Alvina''s beautiful eyes widened as he looked at him with some astonishment: "Why didn''t you


    leave?"


    Penelope immediately said to her: "Alvina, talk properly with Mr. Vice—President. Come back and


    report to meter. "


    Hearing that, Alvina frowned.
