Chapter 2308
Soon, Alice brought the famous breakfast burrito. The beef was very tender, and the smooth top of
the sausage suit matched the tenderness of the beef, not to mention the special sauce. In Alice''s
eyes, it was as delicious as ever.
She also ordered an avocado toast for Henrick.
The avocado looked fresh, and the toast was made with healthy ingredients. The color whetted
one''s appetite enough.
Henrick took a bite. His eyes lighting up, he gushed, "Allie, I''ll take away one set of this toast for
Juliet."
Speaking of which, his future mother- and father-inw were also giving him a hand. Since he was
getting along well with Alice during this period of time, the aforementioned couple had gone on a
business trip.
He was very grateful that the task of watching over his daughter was given to him. This allowed him
more time with Juliet.
It left enough space for him and Alice to get along with each other.
"Why not. I should also bring her a breakfast burrito. She loves it." Alice was savoring her burrito.
Although she had had her breakfast at home, she couldn''t help ordering another one here.
"You do that." Henrick nodded with a smile. His mood was pleasant, the morning picture-perfect.
After breakfast, he watched Alice enter thepany before he got into the car with his daughter''s
breakfast.
After driving for a while, Henrick asked Josue, "Has Alma returned to River City?"
Josue supplied, "She came back, Mr. Henrick, but she went abroad again. Last night''s flight. She
knows your character like the back of her hand. She''s afraid that you would take revenge, hence
she fled overnight."
Henrick nced at him coldly. "Does she even deserve having me taking revenge on her?"
Josue immediately smiled an appeasing smile. "She doesn''t, of course. Mr. Henrick, do you want to
find out where she''s gone?"
Henrick sneered and said, "Find that out. She knew that she wouldn''t be able to go groveling at
Jaime''s feet for help, and lo, skedaddle she did."
"I got you. I''ll send someone to check it out when we get back."
Henrick made a deep throaty acknowledgment noise and closed his eyes to rest.
During this period of time, a myriad of things had happened.
"By the way, you''ll need to pick up someone at the airport tomorrow. He''s my brother''s friend,
Carson Harris. He''s here to treat my hand."
Josue was excited to hear this. "I understand. I will definitely go and pick up Mr. Harris first thing in
the morning."
The way outsiders saw it, Henrick''s hand was seriously injured, but he himself couldn''t care less.
His indifference to his injury somehow allowed others to breathe better and worry less.
......
Alice had a dinner party this night. Since Brenden had departed on a business trip, she could only
take Kylie there.
The dinner party to wee their new client, Mr. Por, was organized in the vicinity of the
company, one she was obligated to attend.
This said Mr. Por was a middle-aged man, with his assistant and two friends sticking close to
him. He had been drinking at the table, so Alice could only go along with him. After all, it was yet the
time to sign the contract, so the client should be treated with the utmost deference.
One of the friends brought by Mr. Por seemed to be in his thirties.
This man would always propose a toast to Alice, and his body tended to, intentionally or
unintentionally, lean close to her, which made her feel very ufortable.
She was so annoyed that she wanted to burst out with obscenities!
If this man continued like this for about half an hour, she would probably fall out with him and teach
him how to behave.
However, Alice was almost at the limit of her alcohol tolerance. Her face was flushed, her vision
blurred. She looked very charming. The man was fascinated and kept toasting her with a smile.
Although Alice was drunk, she was still conscious.
She knew that if things went on like this, something would happen.
This douch*bag was obviously not anyone decent.
Kylie also imbibed some wine.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Alice thought that she couldn''t drag Kylie into this mess with her. Mr. Por, who was soon to form
cooperation with her, wouldn''t do anything impolite, but it was hard to say for his twopanions.
Both sides were drunk. If the douch*bag were to im any sexual act as consensual, she would
have no evidence to back her up and counter his im.
Alice was anxious. Henrick had said earlier that he would pick her up, but she had reminded him
that she was to attend a dinner party and had asked him toe upter than usual. She regretted
it right then. She should have set a time for him toe and pick her up.
"Come on, Miss Klein, let''s have another drink. To be able to meet you tonight, fortune must have
smiled on me." The man sidled up with another ss of wine.
Alice looked at him, her face darkening. "Sir, drinking too much is bad for your health. Moderation is
a virtue."
She spoke nicely.
The man smirked and said, "Miss Klein, are you giving me a hard time? I just want to have a few
more drinks with you. Do me this honor."
As he spoke, he stood next to Alice.
Alice hated the smell of cigarettes and wine on his body.
She moved a little to one side, but the man, ever so intentional, smirked and moved closer to her
again. This time, he was even more out of line. He couldn''t help but put his hand on Alice''s waist.
Kylie looked at him and kept frowning. She wanted to help, but she was being hit on by another
man.
"Miss Klein, you have such a good figure!" The man''s face was almost close to Alice''s.
Angered, Alice said with a cold face, "Bugger off!"
However, she was drunk, and her voice didn''t sound powerful at all. On the contrary, it carried a
seductive aura, which made the man beside her hold her in his arms.
The sudden reeking smell of wine made Alice puke.
"Ugh... let go of me." Alice struggled to shout.
"Why... Miss Klein, you''re drunk." The man was about to coax a ss of wine down Alice''s throat.
He had none of the awareness that his behavior was revolting to the core.
"Come, Miss Klein, let''s have another drink."
Before he could reach Alice''s mouth, he was stopped by a beautiful hand.
Alice, who was squinting, recognized that the fair, slender, and beautiful hand in front of him was
Henrick''s.
Henrick looked at the man with a gloomy face and said word by word, "Didn''t you hear that my
girlfriend said let go?"
"Get lost! Who the h*ll is your girlfriend?" The man was almost drunk.
There was only one wish in his heart. He wanted this woman tonight.
Henrick let go of his hand and pulled Alice into his arms.
The warm embrace, the familiar, cold, andfortable scent made Alice feel at ease instantly. She
turned around, wrapped her arms around Henrick''s waist, and sobbed, "Henrick, you''re finally here.
If you hadn''te sooner, I was going to jump off the building. That b*stard is an animal."
Speaking of which, it was the first time that Alice had met such a shameless person in all these
years.
"What would I have done if he hadn''te sooner?" she thought.
She would rather die than surrender!
Keh hugged her lovingly andforted her in a low voice, "Allie, it''s okay. It''s okay. I''m here."
Feeling that the girl in his arms had calmed down a lot, Henrick let go of Alice.
In the private room, she suddenly felt depressed because of Henrick''s appearance.
The man was very arrogant. Looking at Henrick, who was half a head taller than him, he sneered
and said, "Boy, I don''t give a rat''s a*s whether Miss Klein is your girlfriend, she can only formally
sign the contract with me after she spent the night with me. If you know what''s good for you, leave
quickly and don''t disturb me."
