Chapter 189 – I won’t lie to you
Alex’s phone had been switched off throughout the trip, and it was only after the pilot announced he was preparing for landing that he took it off charge.
His hand accidentally touched the switch-on button, and a swarm of messages caused him to freeze, with the most disturbing one being from his grandpa.
’Alex, Edmund has been trying to reach you because of a cyber-attack.’
Alex switched the phone off, allowing the jet to land before he hurried out of it. When they reached the car, he considered ordering another one to take him to the office and having this one take Joanna to the mansion.
"Angel, there is an issue at the office, so I would have Ike take you home first," he said in a slightly hasty tone, but Joanna was reluctant.
After all their time spent together, she was getting spoiled by the day.
"Can’t I go with you to the office? It will be boring at home, and trust me, I will resume work as soon as possible so I don’t bother you again."
Alex wanted to remind Joanna about Violet being at home, but he quickly informed Ike, "Take us to the office."
After Ike stepped on the accelerator, Alex reminded Joanna, "Violet is at home because of you. Don’t you miss her?"
Joanna missed Violet, but after all she had learned about Alex on this trip, all she wanted was to be by his side to know him more.
"I miss her, but I want to be with you because you have a problem. Even if I can’t help, my presence should be enough to encourage you, right?"
