Chapter 13: Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Do you fair me?

Maddy's private and personal information had always remained anonymous for three years now to Alex. He had not been able to investigate every single detail about this woman. As a consequence, all the things that he had told Kitten about his mother were highly vague. Although Kitten was originally afraid of Alex's cold and indifferent look, today when he had the opportunity to run into his father, it made him extremely happy. He bravely took his father's hands and shook them carefully.

"That was exactly mommy Maddy. But she has already followed that handsome gentleman." Kitten gently blinked his eyes, innocently replied to Alex.

"Daddy, why did you let mommy go away and leave us behind? I want mom and dad take me home together. A child needs his parents. I want to have a mom. I desperately want mom to come back right now. "

Emily anxiously interrupted their conversation.

"Kitten, what's the heck are you saying? That was not your mother. She also said that you had mistaken her as your intimate one."

She looked at Alex and explained, "He was angry with me for not feeding him candy at night, so he escaped from me to go here to play and just randomly regarded everyone as his mom. I used to meet the girl who had just been here, she went to your company to make an appointment for a job interview. Surely, she wanted to make use of Kitten to approach you to be admitted to the company. This was a conspiracy, and Kitten was a child, so he was easily tricked by that woman."

"Emily is lying. Obviously, that is the mother of Kitten." Kitten argued.

"A good child can not lie and behave disobediently like this. If you continued being like this, you won't ever be loved by anyone. "

"That was my mother, my mother, Daddy. If it weren't for Emily being hateful, mommy Maddy wouldn't have refused to accept Kitten." Kitten fought back.

Alex frowned at his son, indifferently asked Emily: "Emily, what have you taught Kitten? Why does he speak so disrespectfully to adults? Are you sure you can take care of him? If you couldn't, I'll arrange a babysitter."

"Arranging the nanny to take care of Kitten, and then you will kick me out of our house?" Emily was terribly shocked, her eyes opened widely which made her tears begin to flow up at the corners of her eyelids. Her voice was unbearably sad and pitiful. "Three years, it has been three years, I have always loved and respected you. I take care of Kitten as best as I can. What do I get in return? I have lived in our house for such a long period, but you never have a thought of wanting to marry me."

Alex looked at her coldly, his expression was so indifferent that normal people looking at him would not assume that he was in love with the woman standing in front of him. Emily pulled his shirt slowly, the trembling fingers made her seem way too pitiful.

"Alex, you have no intention of marrying me for the rest of your life, do you? You let your son call me as his mother, but you couldn't seem to give me an official identity to become your legal wife. What could I do to make you satisfy, so that you wouldn't be so mean to me like this? For the past three years, hadn't my sincerity been enough for you to grant me the opportunity to become your wife?"

Emily sat down on the ground, embracing her face and crying. "Alex, please don't hurt me like this. Kitten already accepted me as his mom, until when would you be able to admit me as a member of your family? "

Alex showed no emotions towards what she was saying. He only remembered her telling him that the girl going with John Elliott was somehow important to him. He thought of the information Emily had just revealed. Maybe he would need a trip to the company.

Little Kitten secretly stuck his tongue out to make a poker face at her. He was frequently treated badly by her without his dad knowing. Now, seeing her crying made him feel absolutely satisfied.

The evening party brought many different streams of thinking to each person.

John Elliott took Elly home in silence. She found out that he was not in a great mood, but she couldn't seem to know what caused him to be so uncomfortable.

"Was there something that made you unhappy? Maybe... Uh... The man who was following you everywhere to cause you trouble?"

John looked at her innocent eyes, immediately reassured since she did not doubt his actions.

"Elly, listen to my words. The man I met today has had a quarrel with you in the past. He's not a good man. If you happen to meet him, then just avoid him and act like nothing happened, no need to communicate with that dangerous man."

"I do not know him, if I meet him again, maybe I won't recognize his face, you do not need to worry that I will communicate with him alone." Elly pouted, feeling John was complaining too much today.

"I am very serious, Elly. Why don't you just obey me, and we can be happy as usual? "

Seeing John was increasingly becoming angrier, she quickly took his arm, changing the subject. "John, I have this story you may want to hear. Today I have ram into something very weird. "

John was not satisfied with her sly attitude, so he kept silent and did not want to reply.

"There was a boy about three years old who mistakenly recognized me as his mother. I explained to him that I was not the one he was looking for, but the baby kept crying and purposely called me as his mother. Sounds strange, right? Or the baby's mother was similar to me? Anyways, I can't remember the past, so maybe we were somewhat close to each other."

John's face stiffened, earlier today he just wanted to take Elly away from the party, away from Alex. Therefore, he literally paid no attention to the people surrounding them. A three-year-old baby, no, he could not be that child....

"Just as I thought. Alex was a bad example, just meeting him will turn everything become worse. First, you don't agree with me to stop meeting him or avoid him if you guys meet accidentally. Now there was a three-year-old child that can cause you to be so immersed in his story like this. Elly, I totally regret taking you to the party tonight."

Being scolded, Elly felt sad, and stubbornly argued. "I'm not smitten by that child. There was something half-familiar and half strange on the young face of Kitten. That little boy was about three years old, which perfectly coincides with the time of my memory loss. If someone knew this, they will say that you are maybe his mom too. And he continuously called me his mom, so I had to think too, you know. "

"Think? Think what?" John was angry, he pressed Elly against the wall, and he used one hand to prevent her from hiding. "Do you think you were a miserable main character in a common love story? How can you give birth to a baby and cannot remember that?"

"I lost my memory. Even if you are my fiancée or not, I don't know too. I can't remember anything. Who can be sure that I was always like this?"

"Do you still know that I'm your fiancé? If you have me as your fiancé, who can you give birth to? "

At this moment, Elly blushed in embarrassment. She blinked her eyes to reassure him, a scene which was so cute and sweet that John's anger subsided rapidly.

He kissed her in the forehead, hurriedly took a shower, and then slept after that.

Elly escaped from embarrassment and her dirty imagination, she rushed to the bathroom right after John has slept. After taking off her beautiful prom dress and filling the tub with hot water, she took a glance at her scar that she was told happened to her three years ago.

"Three years and it hasn't been blurred yet."

Three years? That matched the age of Kitten. John told her before that this scar on the abdomen was a sequel of a traffic accident as well as a result after an appendicitis surgery. Thinking about this, she chuckled, plunging into the water. "John was right. I shouldn't overthink."

Elly shook her head, chasing away all the strange thoughts.

"Take a quick bath, sleep early, keep your mind clear." Elly took a bath while mumbling the trendy song that she had listened all day long.

Suddenly, the phone rang loudly in the bedroom.

"It's already late at night. Who was trying to upset me?" She quickly put on her bathrobe and ran to the bedroom to pick up the phone.

"Hello Miss Elly! I am a member of the corporation, I just want to inform you that, your application has been accepted. Be ready for the appointment."

"But I haven't been for an interview yet? Wasn't the interview postponed? "

"The boss will interview you personally. He was very busy, so he could only see you tomorrow noon. Our boss wanted to invite you to have lunch with him, by the way, we will also discuss your upcoming work."

Elly was stunned. Now, applying for a job could get you a free invitation for lunch?

Although she enjoyed this good news, she still thought of John, remembering that he was very disgusted with that company. Elly hesitated for a while and then sadly turned down the offer.

"Our company highly appreciates your professional qualifications and we want to allow you to develop your career."

The phone spoke in a row, mainly flattering Elly's diploma, saying that, his boss had such shocking expectation after reading her application. Having been rejected by the total of nine countries, in the end Elly could not stand the tempting offer. As a result, she finally accepted to go to the company to get the job.

The next morning, Elly lied that she was going to the interview, in fact, she started to work at Alex's company.

The reception manager in the previous call welcomed and directly took her to the human resources department.

"Miss Elly, you look just like a person named Maddy. This will make some troubles during working time at the company, I hope you pay attention to avoid bad things."

"Maddy? Lately, many people got the wrong person with this name, can you give me some information about her? "

Elly gratefully waited. The manager just smiled and left.

She followed the confusion of her manager, scratched her head, and walked into the HR department. She was assigned to assistant of Director.

"There was a mistake, right? I applied for the sales department."

"The sales department is now full. Her qualifications in four different languages met the requirements of Director, so she was entitled to this position. Anyway, this position was the closest one to the king. Do you know how many candidates wanted this?"

Elly was surprised at the half-sarcastic and annoying attitude of the HR staff.

"It seems that you dislike me?"

"Miss Elly looks just like a person I hated. This was enough for me to dissatisfied with you"

Tugging the corner of his mouth, Elly said "Maddy?"

The HR staff glanced at her along with a sentence. "The human greed was difficult to detect. Because you want to approach the Director, you can be willing to do cosmetic surgery, accept as a substitute. How despicable!"

Elly began to regret her decision to work at this company. Many of the staff who saw her were surprised to blurt out the name Maddy.

Who was Maddy in the end? Why was everyone referring to her as someone who was a stranger?

Her desk was just outside Alex's room. All her colleagues were easygoing, there was only troublesome in that, they often mistakenly called her Maddy, making her uncomfortable.

"Maddy?"

Elly could not stand it, hit the table, and stood up in annoyance.

"I said that I was not Maddy. My name is Elly. Elly."

She gasped at the person standing in front of her. His stubborn face, his fierce eyes, his giant fit body blocked all the light, making his face even more overcast.

The moment he entered the room, he recognized her gesture like them of Maddy, so he involuntarily called out. When he saw her pretty similar face, he felt uncomfortable.

"This was the working style of a new employee?"

Elly was confused and did not know how to answer. She recognized this terrifying man as Alex who John hated at the previous party. But what is he doing at this company? He was probably her colleague?

"Hello, Alex"

"Hello, Alex."

Colleagues in the room stood up in unison. Elly whispered in her heart, this was jacked up. Right on the first working day, she was fired because of screaming at her superiors. This humiliating reason was too intimidating.

"Sorry, Boss, I..."

"What is your name?

"Elly."

Alex squinted at her. Elly felt that those eagle eyes were very powerful. She didn't like being stared at, so she timidly asked.

"Any questions for me? I have a lot to do."

A few colleagues gasped at Elly's boldness, then looked at the face like Maddy, then continued to their work.

"Enter my room!"

Elly frowned and followed him into the room. She thought she would be fired, so she wasn't in the mood to join the luxurious facilities of the room.

Alex crossed his arms and arrogantly observed Elly.

Elly's shape was very simple with small body in a white shirt and a short gray jumper, long curly hair hanging over one shoulder. This girl was nothing special, but why did she cause so many strange feelings in him when approaching?

Alex could not find an answer and began to vent his anger at the initiator.

"What did you say to Alex?"

"How do you know him?" Elly asked back with wide eyes. She did not think anyone knew she had met that adorable boy but nasty girl Emily.

"You don't know what relationship between I and Alex?" Alex stared at her face, searched for the lie on it.

"Why should I know?" Elly blinked in confusion. She remembered the Alex's immature young face, compared it with one of her superiors and she was amazed at the discovery. "Ah, you really have many similarities with Alex, are you his grandfather?"

"I'm the father." Alex gritted his teeth. Am I so old?

"Ah." Elly absentmindedly replied, then quickly asked. "Was there anything else, sir? I am very busy, there are many unfinished works."

Alex was not happy with her indifferent attitude.

"Make me a cup of coffee and you can get back to work."

Elly nodded, turned around and walked outside straightly. Her actions caused Alex to take actions that he did not understand himself. He pulled her shoulder, pressed her against the door. She panicked, wanted to move when she was stopped by his arms. This forced her to stand close to his face scary

"Boss, what are you doing? I will scream."

"Won't you ask me what kind of cafe I drink?"

The two spoke at the same time, Elly quickly answered.

"Black coffee."

"How do you know?" Alex didn't nod when she was right.

Elly was also startled, thinking for a while, he did not know why she guessed correctly, and immediately smiled.

Alex squinted at the stupid smile, the dangerous light flashed and was quickly covered.

"Do you fear me?"

"If Boss eats me, I will be scared."

"Like this?" Alex bent down and bit her ear hard. "Or like that?"

His tongue suddenly stabbed her ear, spinning and caressing, making her shiver. She pulled her neck as she tried to escape his annoying tongue behind her ear.

Seeing her use her weak strength like a cat pushing his chest, Alex ordered in a husky voice.

"Reply."

Elly was frozen and stubbornly replied. "Not scared."

Alex's eyes were darkened. He straightened and said coldly. "Get out."

She was very unhappy with this attitude, wanted him to apologize for his disrespectful behavior, but before opening her mouth she was infuriated by the next order.

"You can leave work early today. You will be on business with me for two days tomorrow. "

"Boss, are you mistaken? I just took up this appointment today, the next day I am on business, how absurd!"

"Am I the boss or you? As an employee, there should be self-consciousness. What the superiors say, orders, you just complete it. Working at this company, you need to keep this principle in mind."

"Even when the boss orders wrongly, I should still obey? Such an injustice exists in a large corporation, how does he win the hearts of its employees." Elly tried to claim his rights. She cheated on John to go to work, if she still went on a two-day business trip with his enemy, she could not imagine how she would be scolded.

"You have the right to quit your job. But do not forget, the employment contract you signed with the company has a compensation term, if one party unilaterally terminates the contract without cooperating for a full year. "

"There was a law sucking blood like that?" Elly shouted in panic. Because everyone always looked at her and mentioned Maddy, which made her not focus on reading the terms carefully when she signed the contract.

Thinking of the balance amount in her account, Elly looked so grim and opened the door to go.

Alex tugged her hand. "Where are you going?"

"Complete my today's work so that I will be on business with you tomorrow." The sound of her clenching teeth made him satisfied.

Alex returned to his desk, indifferently left words, "Remember to make coffee."

In response, she slammed the door.

Elly brought her anger about this deceitful company to home. She still did not know how to talk about her working at Alex's company and how she had to go on a two-day business trip to John.

Because she wanted to mitigate her penalty, she got off work early and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of food, planned to cook John's favorite dishes.

During dinner, Elly thoughtfully picked up the food continuously in John's bowl to win his heart.

"What did you do wrong today?" John wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth and asked gently.

Elly hurriedly took his fever-stained finger and put it in his mouth to suck. Although she lost her memory, but she also knew a few tricks of the affectionate gestures between two lovers.

John pampered looking at her red lips sucking his fingers.

"Want to confess or eat my fingers?"

Elly dropped his finger, her tiny pink tongue still lingered and licked two-turn before leaving.

John's eyes were darkened, quickly hidden his burning desire.

Elly didn't know that she was in danger, tilted his head and said.

"John, you can't be angry after I said it. Um, I found a job." She drew in courage, then exhaled in a quick sentence. "A job at Alex's company."
