Chapter <b>113</b>
Alita picked up the phone and said, “Hello!”
“Miss Thompson, you came to work so punctually. Looks like you’ve recovered from your illness.” A deep and maic voice sounded leisurely from the other end<b>, </b>like a ghost in the morning-
Stunned, Alita immediately recognized who it was. She was very familiar with this voice. Silently, she smiled coldly and replied calmly, “Thank <b>you </b>for your concern, Mr. Lewis<b>. </b>Yes. I’ve recovered, so you can stop worrying about me.”
In other words, she wanted him to stop being so bored.
“Oh, how can I not worry? Miss Thompson, you are the backbone of my wedding nning. If you fall ill, who will n my wedding for me? Right?” Jaydon stood elegantly in front of the floor–to–ceiling window with a smile.
“That’s right, Mr. Lewis. I still have a lot of things to deal with. Look, <b>if </b>there’s nothing important, I’ll hang up first,” Alita said patiently. He ruined her mood in the morning.
“Come to my office tomorrow at 10 o’clock sharp. I remember <b>I </b><b>said </b>I would give you two <b>days </b>to decide on a n, Jaydon said.
“Alright! I’ll see you tomorrow then, Mr. Lewis. Goodbye.” Alita ended the conversation quickly. If she continued to waste time with hire, she would not gain any advantage. Instead, it would stimte his perverted pleasure, and she would be his prey to chase <b>and </b>y with.
As Jaydon listened to the monotonous beep sound on the phone, the smile on his lips deepened.
Alita put away the leather bag, and the office door <b>opened</b>, Karen came in with coffee and put it on the table.
“Alita, are <b>you </b>alright?” Karen asked with concern.
“I’m fine now,” Alita replied with a faint smile.
“Oh, you insisted that you were fine the night before yesterday. Otherwise, Crystal, Sabina, and I would have sent <b>you </b>home to look after you.” <b>Karen </b>had only found out about her illness when she received <b>a </b>call from Alita yesterday afternoon.
Speaking of this, Alita suddenly remembered what happened in the forest. She <b>said</b><b>, </b>“Karen<b>, </b><b>go </b>and call Crystal and Sabina in. I have something to <b>talk </b>to you.<b>”</b>
“Oh, I’ll go get them right away.” Karen turned around and walked out.
Alita picked up the coffee on the table and <b>took </b><b>a </b>sip. She worried they would spread the news outside if she did not <b>exin</b>. Though the entirepany or city would learn it sooner orter, Alita hoped that it would be after the wedding n waspleted.
Not long after, <b>Karen</b>, Crystal, and Sabina arrived. The three girls stood in a row in front of her.
“Alita, what’s the matter?” Crystal asked.
“Well, go sit on the sofa. <b>Alita </b>stood up and walked straight to the sofa to sit down.
The three girls followed suit and sat on the sofa opposite Alita.
Alita sorted out what she wanted <b>to </b>say. Then, <b>she </b><b>said </b>calmly, “I called you in to talk to you about what happened in the forest. You must be wondering what happened between me and Mr. Lewis, if we have some unspeakable secret, if I <b>have </b>be a third party, or if I secretly fell in love with Mr. Lewis… <b>You </b>must have <b>all </b>kinds of guesses, right?”
She looked at them with bright eyes.
The three girls were flustered by her gaze which seemed to be able to see through their minds,
They all denied it. “Alita, how would we dare to make wild guesses about you and Mr. Lewis?”
“<b>That’s </b>right. We <b>won’t </b>dare to make wild guesses, and we won’t tell anyone<b>.</b>”

“Don’t worry, we’ll keep this <b>a </b>secret.”
Alita smiled and said, “Just say what you think. I want to know your true thoughts, not this kind of sloppy talk. Karen, <b>you </b>tell
me.”
Karen looked at Crystal and Sabina with a bitter expression. They also looked troubled. The three of them exchanged nces.
In the end, Karen turned her head and looked at Alita. She <b>said </b>softly, “Alita, I’ll tell you. This represents the thoughts of the three of us. If I tell you, you’re not allowed to be angry, let alone fire us.”
“Say it.” Alita smiled happily.
“We felt something wrong with you in the forest that day. Mr. Lewis treated <b>you </b>differently, so… Karen drawled her voice and closed her eyes. “So we felt that you <b>and </b>Mr. Lewis were having an affair.”
‘God, please, please don’t fire us.. The three of them prayed silently.
Alita was not surprised. Anyone with a mind could have told it if they saw that scene. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she decided to tell them the truth. It was better than scandals like having an affair. Girls liked to gossip.
Pursing <b>her </b>lips, she made up her mind. Then, <b>Alita </b><b>said</b>, “It made sense for you to think so, but I didn’t have an affair with Mr. Lewis. He’s <b>my </b>ex–husband.”
“What?“The three girls eximed at the same time, dumbfounded.
They were <b>too </b>shocked. They never expected their boss to have such <b>a </b>rtionship with Jaydon. What impressed them even <b>more </b>was that Jaydon and Alita usually did not look familiar with each other.
“Are you surprised? That’s the truth.” Alita smiled helplessly <b>and </b>said, “I hope you can keep this a secret. Before the wedding ends, you can’t say anything in thepany. Can <b>you </b>do <b>that</b>?”
The three girls recovered from their <b>shock </b>and nodded in unison<b>. </b>They thought, ‘No wonder Alita doesn’t like those <b>small </b>managers and so–called rich men. The radiant and handsome Mr. Lewis is the most outstanding one. There should be no man who canpare to him.
They wanted to ask why they divorced.
<b>“</b><b>Alright</b>, all of you can go out and <b>work</b>!” Alita said calmly. She did not want to reveal any more.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
The straightforward Karen couldn’t help but raise her hand and ask, “<b>Alita</b>, since he’s your ex–husband, why did he ask you to n his wedding? Isn’t he too much? How can he be like this? He’spletely bullying you.”
“Thinking about it, when Mr. Lewis first came, your reaction wasn’t right. I thought that a big deal hade. I was <b>so </b>happy.” Crystal now understood everything.
<b>“</b>Let’s not talk about it anymore. Since we’ve already epted it, we’ll do our best to treat it as an ordinary client, understand?” Alita stopped them from discussing.
The three <b>girls </b>nodded, got up, <b>and </b>walked out of the office.
Alita <b>also </b>got up and sat at her desk. She buried her head in her work and sat there for half a day. By the time she finished <b>all </b><b>the </b>work she had hoarded over the past few <b>days</b>, it was almost one o’clock.
There <b>was </b><b>no </b>time to go out for lunch. She still had a meeting in the afternoon to formte a n, so she called for takeout.
After lunch, she pressed the inte. “Karen, we’ll <b>have </b>a meeting <b>in </b>half an hour<b>. </b>Let all departments get ready.”
‘Got it‘
25 minutester, Alita walked into the conference room. The people inside were all gathered.
She sat down and went straight to the point. “Tomorrow at 10 a.m., I’ll hand over theplete n for this wedding to Mr. Lewis. Now that the wedding and reception venue has been found, the amodation is booked in a five–star hotel 40 minutes away from the forest. Everyone,e up with a theme for these three <b>scenes</b>. Sabina, take out the photos and show them to everyone.”

Sabina deftly turned on theputer and ced it in the middle of the conference table. The beautiful forest, the fresh and vast green grass, and the gorgeous hotel mesmerized everyone in the conference <b>room</b>.
“It’s so beautiful. Such a pure ce must be decorated in white,” Martin Kurle, the leader of the design department, said excitedly.
“White!” Alita looked at the picture and imagined thebination of green and white. It was indeed not bad.
“Alita, just believe me. White is the best color. Use light white gauze to create an ethereal feeling. I have an inspiration now and can design it immediately,” Martin described excitedly.
“Alright <b>then</b>. Give me the design tomorrow morning” Alita trusted her subordinate.
“Absolutely no problem. Martin looked confident.
“Also, contact the bridal shop and ask them to send over thetest designs and the designs for the invitations. They have to be creative. Make three of them for the client to choose. I believe all of you can hand over these fragmented things to me tomorrow morning. Now, formte the entire n. Crystal, you will write a report <b>and </b>let the <b>finance </b>department estimate the budget. Write it in the report. All the above things should be on my desk at 10 am. tomorrow, understand?” Alita looked at everyone with sharp eyes.
Even if the clock <b>was </b>ticking and the pressure was immense, no one had any objections.
When she got home at night, Alita looked around the <b>parking </b>lot. After confirming there were no cars belonging to Jaydon, Samuel, and Kim, she went upstairs in relief.
Pressing the password on the door lock, she thought of how Samuel knew the password yesterday. Although she was sick the day before yesterday, she remembered that she <b>was </b>asleep and could not tell him the password before entering. If she did, she would remember. So, how did that guy know? Could it be that he has <b>magic</b>? Alita wondered.
As she thought about it, she shivered and quickly changed the password. She did not want Samuel to stand by her bed like a ghost when she was sleeping in the middle of the night.
After entering the house, she was still worried about locking the door. Then, she turned off her phone and unplugged the phone line. Only then did she restfortably
She was exhausted today.
The next day, Alita went to the office. The proposal was already on her desk. She opened it and read it carefully. Then, she smiled in satisfaction.
After putting the proposal into her bag, she <b>drove </b>to Lewis Group.
At ten to ten, she arrived at the Lewis Group building. She parked the car and took the elevator up. It was almost 10 o’clock when she <b>arrived </b>at the top <b>floor</b><b>.</b>
The secretary was not surprised to see her and politely <b>said</b>. “Miss Thompson, <b>Mr. </b>Lewis is waiting for you. Pleasee in.”
“Thank you!” Alita smiled and came to the office with her head held high. She knocked twice
“Come in. Jaydon’s voice sounded inside.
Upon hearing the <b>familiar </b>voice, Alita pushed the door open and entered. She gently closed the door and walked to Jaydon’s desk. Then, she smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Lewis!”
Jaydon raised his wrist and looked at his watch. His smile suddenly became extremely bright. “Miss Thompson, you’re 33
secondste.
<b>‘</b><b>F*ck </b>the 33 seconds, Alita cursed in her heart. However, she still smiled and apologized on the surface. “Mr. Lewis, I’m sorry for making you wait so long”
’33 <b>seconds</b>. That is long enough!‘ Alita couldn’t help but want to scold Jaydon.
