Chapter 399
Alex was so surprised by Maria's words and crying noises that he didn't say anything for a few seconds.
He has been in this relationship with Maria for over a year and that was the only time he heard her truly crying.
Maria's crying voice could be heard from the TRH device. "*sob* Alex... Don't worry, everything will be ok. I'm sure we can fix it."
Alex "woke up" and he responded with a slightly dumbfounded tone, "...Maria, I've already clarified this with the boss. I won't have any problems with it in the future."
After saying that, he could hear Maria stop making crying noises and go completely silent. She doesn't answer for the first few seconds either.
Maria asked in a confused tone, "But... that doesn't make any sense."
She had too many questions and couldn't imagine a situation in which this made sense.
"...Alex don't lie to me. don't try to protect me. *sob*..." After saying that, Alex could hear Maria starting to cry again.
Alex was completely speechless again at the nonsense Maria had thought up. ' She thinks I'm lying to protect her? ... how does she come up with such a ridiculous train of thought?. Although it's actually nice that she thinks about me that way it is a bit....'
