Chapter 1559: I Gave Myself a Short Holiday
Seeing the mischievous smile on Thomas Fisher’s face, Alice Turner’s cheeks became even hotter. She gave him an indignant glance and turned her back, ignoring him.
Alright! You’ve gone too far!
Thomas Fisher tugged at Alice Turner’s sleeve with his other hand, but she didn’t move at all, leaving him with a silent back.
He tugged her sleeve again, this time with a bit more strength, but she still ignored him, not even sparing him a glance.
Creek!
At that moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
Thomas Fisher and Alice Turner both looked towards the door at the same time, seeing Isla Lane and Charlotte Shaw. The two quickly released their interlocked fingers.
The moment they let go, Thomas Fisher frowned in annoyance.
What was he doing? Why was he afraid of others seeing him hold his fiancée’s hand? It wasn’t like he was holding someone else’s wife’s hand.
While Thomas was sulking, Alice had already stood up and walked towards the two who had entered.
"Alice, I..."
As she entered, Charlotte Shaw immediately saw Alice Turner walking towards them and habitually greeted her.
But before she could finish her greeting, she saw Alice Turner make a shushing gesture towards her.
Following behind Charlotte Shaw, Isla Lane didn’t see Alice’s gesture to be quiet, but she sensed something was off and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
"Benjamin is sleeping."
Alice Turner whispered to remind Isla Lane and Charlotte Shaw, her voice low but loud enough for the mother and daughter to hear.
Looking in the direction Alice pointed, the mother and daughter indeed saw Benjamin Shaw asleep with his eyes closed, so they lightened their movements.
Not seeing Thomas Fisher, Isla Lane was about to cheer up when she suddenly noticed someone sitting on the sofa. When she saw who it was, her mood instantly turned somber.
Why hasn’t that guy left yet?
After putting down the things in her hand, Isla Lane strode over to Thomas Fisher sitting on the sofa. As soon as she got there, she started to issue the guest-dismissal order, "Thomas! Since your company is so busy, you shouldn’t spend your time dawdling here. The three of us can take care of your brother just fine."
She was both issuing the guest-dismissal order and stating her desire for Alice Turner to stay.
Whether it was the guest-dismissal order or her desire to keep Alice, Isla Lane’s attitude was firm and resolute.
"I’ve already arranged things. I’ve given myself a little holiday." Isla Lane’s intent was so obvious that Thomas Fisher couldn’t miss it even if he tried.
She wanted him to leave, but he absolutely wouldn’t go unless Alice left with him. No one could drive him away otherwise.
Isla Lane clearly hadn’t expected Thomas Fisher to say such a thing, and it took her a moment to recover from his words, "How can you be such a casual boss? Aren’t you worried about something happening to your company?"
A boss who doesn’t stay at the company but instead comes here to compete with a good buddy for a girlfriend— she really worried that something would go wrong with his company.
"If the company falls apart because I take a few days off, then it’s not worth having." Thomas Fisher had immense confidence in his company, with no risk of bankruptcy or collapse.
He wasn’t the type to be casual about such matters. He wanted both the kingdom and the beauty.
Isla Lane didn’t know his true thoughts, and seeing how nonchalant he was, she really began to worry for him, "Do you treat your family company like this? Does your mother know?"
She thought his mother mustn’t know; otherwise, he wouldn’t be sitting here so calmly at this moment.
