Chapter 182: Chapter 182
Chapter 184 who sent the split message?
Alex's attitude was lukewarm and quite neutral, which amuses Melinda. In any case, you are confident in your appearance, and it is rare to see a person who would not be fascinated at first sight.
At the Carter family house, Chairman Carter asked his granddaughter eagerly. Why are you back so soon? Have you met with Alex? What are your thoughts about him?
"My thoughts about him are Incredibly good", said Melinda, in a dismissive manner.
Chairman Carter quickly saw the clue. pictured it and sat on the seat next to the sofa. Chairman Carter smiled and said Hallelujah, come talk with Grandpa.
Melinda turned her eyes and blamed herself for not being good at hiding in front of Grandpa's crystal eyes. She bowed her head and said. I am a little tired today. Can we talk about this some other time grandpa? I have some unfinished business to attend to. Could you go back to your room first?
Do not change the subject. Alex is on your head. Today, I went to the office to see him. how did he appear to you? What did you think of him after the meeting?
Melinda knew what was on her grandfather's mind, and she followed him. I do not want to talk about my feelings right now.
"Why not is t because you are in a different mood? What did he say to upset you?"
He did nothing to upset me. Melinda did not have the heart to bring trouble to Alex, she continued to explain. It is none of your business. I felt both happy and sad because he influenced me.
She shook Chairman Chen's hand with a wobble. Nana, I am begging you, please do not arrange to talk with me about Alex again. I just want to spend time and focus on talking about you right now, okay?
The unusually provocative behavior of his granddaughter got Chairman Carter very curious, which cause him to want to investigate more about the situation.
At Rodeo Entertainment, Elly was working when she received a text message. She was tapping with one hand and fumbling with the other to open the phone.
The picture in the message shocked Elly. In the photo, Alex was standing with an extremely beautiful and attractive girl, the posture of the two does not look intimately closely, but because of the way the photograph was taken, Elly sensitively reads the secret in the girl's eyes.
The second message was a text, the content made her looked awfully pale on her face.,
As Linda Peart walked by, she was startled by her bad expression. Elly, what is the matter with you?
"There is nothing wrong with me". Elly put her cell phone on the table to prevent Linda Peart from seeing it. But the picture was clear and the emotion in the photo was so real that she could not help but feel as if she would lose her mind.
"Have you had breakfast yet? Is it hypoglycemia? Your face is turning white and you seem to be going to faint."
"I am fine, do not worry! I have a headache because I stayed up late last night."
Linda Peart did not believe her, and she realized something was wrong, so she deliberately called Alex.
After work, Elly saw a jeep parked at the door of the company, cold all over, parked empty.
"Why is he here?"
This was her first reaction, in the next second could not help but remember the picture, she quickly held her head down
Alex saw Elly walked out of the building, but instead of walking towards him, she turned around. Alex frowned and forcefully opened the door out of the car.
"Get in."
Elly quickly passed by, but Alex held her wrist. She waved her hand, and her voice broke up in disharmony. Bitch!
Looking at her discarded hand, her eyes looked like ferocious eagle eyes sparkled, Alex came up to her and stopped her, he proceeded to bend down and lifted her on his shoulder like a bag of rice. He strode to the passenger seat of the car, threw her in rudely, and closed the door with a slam.
All this was seen by her colleagues who were at the entrance of the company. who guessed that these two people quarreled.
When Alex went into the car, he then started the car quietly.
Elly turned and looked out of the window, she was not angry or cursing, her lips were tightly closed until she found the car parked at the entrance of the hospital. she looked at him in surprise.
"Why did we stop at the hospital? Are you sick?" Elly's heart was racing, and worry suddenly aroused in her heart.
Alex turned the rearview mirror and showed her how pale her face was. Do you think you are sick?
Elly glanced suspiciously in the mirror and found that her face was pale, but it had nothing to do with her health.
" Linda Peart called me, she was worried that maybe you have not been feeling well recently, because of the intensity of work, so asked me to pick you up."
Elly covertly scolded Linda Peart for many things, and she was also secretly moved by how she was well cared for by her friends. She shook her head faintly and said "I am fine. You do not have to go to the hospital. She misunderstood."
Elly's tone was so cold that it was difficult for him to understand. What is the matter with you then?
"There is nothing wrong with me I just do not want to waste your time. It is that simple." Elly did not even look at Alex, she was muttering to herself. "Anyway, you are always busy. Should you not be with your girlfriend?" Alex paused and listened, so her low voice could still be heard clearly.
"Looking for a girlfriend? What girlfriend?" Alex did not understand what she said, and he asked hesitantly. "Are you sure you do not need to go to the hospital? Just to check your head?"
Angered by his ambiguous expression while being ridiculed, "Elly said strangely, Other people know about your behavior because they also openly express their feelings in the company."
It took him a long time to get his head out, and he suddenly woke up and wondered who something might have to do with the word "affection". You should investigate carefully. Are you the girl who came to the office to see me today?
Elly did not say a word, which was equal to saying yes. Now Alex must really see if Melinda was the one who was sabotaging them. Today is the first time I have met Melinda.
"So, you do not want to believe me. So why did she come to see u Alex? Did you not realized that her grandfather wanted you as his son-in-law?"
"How do you know so much! Where did you hear that?" Alex sighed and quickly made his words clear at the sight of her sharp eyes. "Yes, she came to the company to see me, but that was her business. I did not want to turn her away just like that. You cannot force me to take responsibility for a crime I did not commit. I will not accept that."
"The more I say it, the more I am starting to hate who is behind this." "I do not like anyone else but you!"
There was a race against time between those words. Elly was not prepared to hear those words, so she blushed like a tomato, even though she was still terribly angry. She quickly lowered her head and covered her red cheeks with her hair. Alex replied. " It is none of my business what you want to say. But do not talk like a reporter."
His mouth bent and his hand quickly unfastened his seat belt so as not to let Elly react in time. He raised his head, turned his hand to the window, and loosened her between her chest and the back of his chair. His voice beat on her ear in a low voice.
"Do I smell jealousy?"
Elly lifted her head, panting because the distance was so close that the red on her face had reached to her ears and ran down her neck. Elly's reaction was now unpredictable due to lack of oxygen in her brain, so, she placed her palm in the middle of his face.
"Take me home!" Elly pushed away Alex with one of her hands when the palm of her other hand went down into something soft and moist.
This time she was really scared, she withdrew her hand quickly, and hid it behind her, and then looked at him in panic without blinking.
He sat upright with a belt, fastened his seat belt, and started the car.
Along the way, Alex kept asking who spoke with Melinda. At first, she refused to speak until he made a threat.
"If you do not talk, I will not open the door. I do not mind spending the night with you."
The car was parked right in front of Elly's house.
"Cheers," Elly gritted through her teeth to the lustful game and without hesitation, she took out her mobile phone. "See for yourself," she said.
Alex picked up the phone, looked at the name of the person who sent the message, his eyes widened and his face darkened. His eyebrows were wrinkled, and he was frightened of the fact of being backstabbed by his own friend.
"Anyone could have done it, do it, but why did it have to be him?"
"Did you contact him?"
"He volunteered to add me to the directory book. I thought that you could trust him, and besides, he knows that there was no problem in communicating with him. I have kept it for a long time."
The disappointment showed in Alex's eyes and his body appeared lifeless from the hurt he received which made her feel sorry for him. "You see, even people who you have been friends with for many years still cannot understand my ideas. So, you see, I cannot trust anyone."
Elly did not switch sides with Brandon and she could not bear Alex's frustration, so she swallowed hard when she was about to go in and start comforting. Though too much would only make him feel like she's rubbing salt on his wound.
Alex closed and then opened his eye., His once calm expression returned to his cold, sad face, and he gave her the phone. "I see"
"Your voice makes you sound very cold."
For Alex and Brandon, the confidence had only been exhausted at that moment.
Every word that Brandon said to Elly in the text angered him.
"He is dating Miss Carter, the niece of Chairman Jones Carter. You should know who is more worthy of him between you and Miss Chen."
