Chapter 147 tracking at home
Aron felt embarrassed . He didn't expect that one day Alex would become Mr. Kane's benefactor. In this world, coincidences are unpredictable.
At Mr. Kane's insistence, Alex refused to stay.
Watching Aron standing blankly in the middle of the living room, not as quick and witty as usual, Mr. Kane could not help but asked. "Didn't you say you were cooking by yourself tonight? Why don't you hurry ? Do you want Lila to starve?"
Aron went into the kitchen in an unpleasant manner. The maid and other servants also followed him to the kitchen too.
Mr. Kane was fast enough not to let Alex leave, his voice are reasonable and he won't let go those who refuse. Having dinner with Aaron was a such a mess. "You don't have to worry, Lila. I'll stay here and talk to you. The old man and Alex doesn't ' have much in common. Besides, I heard that the Mr.Kane and Alex are working together, right?"
Although Mr. Kane was no longer in charge of the company's affairs, the cooperation between the company was still applicable . He simply meant well because he knew that Elly was in charge of business cooperation and wanted to help her and ensure that the cooperation went smoothly. In any case, he likes elly to be his son's future wife .
Elly sat obediently on the sofa, but she was not going to talk about it.
Both sides were silent, and the atmosphere was so awkward that even Mr. Kane recognized it and couldn't help laughing. "When an old guy like me is present, it's not convenient to talk?"
"No, you misunderstand it. Alex was smart, and he doesn't want to embarrass him, so he spoke first." I have carefully read the schedule you sent. It was a well detailed plan. As required, I will hand over all your advertising responsibilities to you. I hope Miss Elly will not waste this trust I've given"
"Thanks to Chairman Alex for his trust. If It has something to do with the honor of my family , of course I will do my best."
Elly replied politely. The result of the plan has already been approved, and she knew that it was a play in front of Mr. Kane, so she was not very enthusiastic about her answer.
Looking at the two people's grudging answer, Mr. Kane simply looked for an excuse to leave" I suddenly remembered that my office window was open. I heard it rained at night. You can have your casual chat. Don't be shy."
Mr. Kane has gone upstairs, and two of them left in the living room.
After a few seconds of silence, Alex asked slowly." How are you?"
Bang!
" Fine". Elly spoke coldly.
Alex was used to this attitude and stopped thinking. It was not easy for him to say his next sentence. " What I said in the hospital went a little too far. I'm sorry, dear!"
"There's no need for you apologize." Elly's voice was not shouting nor dragging, it was a calm one, and her eyes were insensitive to give pity for him." I hope you knew that our story is a thing of the past. I didn't come back to start over. What I want to know is Emily's information, and you didn't utter about it so, I'm not interested. Don't pretend there's a connection between us."
Elly's resolute attitude made Alex's heart cold, and the corners of her mouth could not help but laughedaughing." I still want my heart to have weight, even just a bit, but what I dream about John is the most important thing in my heart.
It was foolish for Alex to fight a dead man, but his inner attitude and feelings made him jealous.
Elly did not explain, let alone tell him, she chose to be silent.
Alex wanted to go on, but Aron went out from the kitchen with spoons and chopsticks in his hand, and his face sank when he saw the two sitting alone in the living room talking. Jealousy is not just for Alex but also for Aron.
He shouted to Elly. "Lila, please come to the kitchen."
Like grabbing a straw, Elly walked quickly into the kitchen, and even the air inhaled with Alex made her heart heavy.
In the living room, Alex looked at the clock with his head slightly lowered, his hair covering the expression on his face. His expression seemed to have an inexplicable dark atmosphere, and he feels very desolate.
Mr. Kane walked down the stairs and was startled by the lonely sight of Alex. He squinted and looked back and could no longer see the melancholic atmosphere. "Where's Lila? Does she just let the guests sit alone?" Mr. Kane doesn't think that a sensible and gentle girl like Leila will make such a simple social mistake.
"Aron asked her to help." Alex smiled and defended her.
Mr. Kane sighed and reproached, "These two children are so impolite. How can they leave the guests alone in the living room?"Was it my ignorant son who did it? Mr. Kane said to himself.
" No problem. I don't mind."
Alex's generosity, calmness and politeness were admired by Mr. Kane and his voice was cordial like that of his family." Alex, I really like you. You have a stability that doesn't match your age. Don't think that Aron was older than you. In fact, he was very sharp and determined in work or life. He was still very inexperienced."
Mr. Kane, you are so Kind. Alex did not express his attitude, but with a smile.
In the kitchen, Aron said involuntarily." I'm sorry! I didn't know he would show up at my father's house tonight. I am sorry to embarrass you."
Looking at his cautious appearance, Elly sighed. "It's not your fault. Don't say that. Maybe you're the only one who thinks it's a coincidence, right? Personally, I believe this was an unlucky arrangement."
"Arrangement?" Aron doesn't understand what you're saying.
Elly's eyes were sharp and dark, and she no longer seemed to trust her human heart. "Maybe he knows that I am with you and should use all kinds of means to get all kinds of chance or chance encounter with Mr. Kane. He wants to win the trust of Mr. Kane and has a reasonable reason to go in and out of the Kane's family in the future. "
Elly doesn't want to say cold words, but she always thinks that Alex 's every move has its own purpose.
" Are you nervous? "Aron asked .
" No one knows what'sin his mind. But he is the kind of person who can act." Elly's belief in Alex was not round.
Dinner was held in an awkward atmosphere and was not very pleasant. Apart from taking care of Elly, Aron appeared unfriendly. Elly tasted his cooking quietly. Mr. Kane was dissatisfied with their attitude and tried to stimulate a topic to change the atmosphere.
The prepared dishes are rich and palatable, but in this depressing atmosphere, no one thinks it is delicious.
At the end of dinner, Alex received a phone call from Secretary Gerald, and it was very important. "Okay, I know. I'll be right there." Alex turned off his phone, turned around and apologized to Mr. Kane with a smile.
" I Apologize Mr. Kane!" The company has something urgent to take care of. I have to go. Thank you for your hospitality today. You don't have to worry about what happens. Anyone who encounters the same thing will do it."
He refused to let Mr. Kane see him off. Before leaving, he glanced at Elly and kept looking down at him. Alex left Aron with complicated eyes.
Without Alex, the atmosphere suddenly feel fresher, Elly was tired and wants to sleep again. After sitting with Mr. Kane for a while, she also asked to leave. " I'm not feeling well today. I ask you to go home early and I'll come back another day I promise."
Mr. Kane was very happy to receive her appointment and did not forget to care." Why are you tired? Do I need to call a doctor?"
"No, no. Maybe i woke up a little late last night, so now my body has been cut off. If i go back and get some sleep, I'll get better tomorrow." She was so busy that she smiled calmly. Mr. Kane's feelings was moved by her.
"Then go home early and have a rest and ill play with you some day when you are free."
Elly agreed and walked out of the house with Aron. At the door, Aron knew the reason why she was not feeling well, so he coaxed her in a low voice." Forget it. Text me when you get home."
" The Kane family's personal chauffeur will take you home." On the way, Elly kept thinking about Alex's purpose tonight." Alex's , what's on your mind?"
Neither the driver nor elly realized that there was a car tailing behind them.
When she got to the neighborhood, Elly got off and thanked the driver politely. She watched until the car disappeared at the end of the road. She did't lie to Mr. Kane just now. She is really not feeling well today. She exhaled a sneeze and wanted to turn around and go upstairs when she heard the shrill sound of the brakes.
A black jeep next to her alerted Elly.
Alex got out of the car, she was surprised by her vigilant eyes, but Alex hastened to explain. "Don't worry, it's me!"
"What kind of trouble do you want to get into?" Aware of his acquaintances, Elly was still vigilant and ready to escape.
"I'm not here to piss you off. I mean, the news you're looking into. Alex took a step closer, but she retreated more and more towards the stairs, with legs prepared in position, and immediately stood, sighing powerless.
Elly put down her nose and was cynical. Does he knew what news I want? Is Alex so good that he can read other people's thoughts?
An effortless mockery, Alex said slowly, his face unchanged. "Do you want to know the news about Emily?"
Elly opened her eyes wide in surprise and did not hide her suspicion. "Alex, can you tell me the address where Emily lives now? You found your own conscience, and you regret it?"
