Chapter 68: He Might Hurt Her
Alvin found the courage to speak when he noticed Alex’s expression, which no longer reflected his passiveness after he mentioned Aurora was at the Stardust Restaurant.
"Sir, it’s time to head home. While your wife may not directly ask you, she often inquires with Martin and Josh about your return."
Upon hearing Alvin’s words, Alex’s annoyance resurfaced swiftly.
"Alvin, you can go back to your office; I still have another online meeting," Alex said sternly as he returned to his desk.
"Sir, I apologize if I appear to be prying into your private matters..." Alvin walked behind Alex to his desk. He chose not to head back to his office.
Alvin paused at Alex’s desk and said, "Josh mentioned that Lady Boss celebrated her graduation at the restaurant with Renata Prescott since she had no one at home to share her joy with."
"And sir, you mentioned that you were waiting for her graduation before you could return home... I believe this is the right time to return, right, sir?" Alvin feels tense as he waits for Alex to respond.
"And why should I care about that?" Alex wanted to voice it, but the words lingered at the tip of his tongue. Instead, he simply stated, "Alvin, I know what I’m doing and what to do next. You can go now..."
"Yes, Sir..." Alvin bowed slightly without another word before leaving.
Once Alvin closed the door, Alex exhaled deeply, shut his laptop, and rubbed his forehead. He wasn’t scheduled for an online meeting; that was merely an excuse to send Alvin out of his office.
He did not plan to return home for now because every time he saw his new wife, memories of his late personal assistant, Aurora Moon, filled his heart and mind.
