Chapter 271 Note

Gerald and Linda went shopping for the wedding in two days. When Linda with such as Eagle eyes, picked out a beautiful dress that conformed to her temperament, she showed Gerald's hand shopping with satisfaction.

Gerald tasted a few days in prison for the first time, he accompanied his lover shopping and chose a bridesmaid dress, but his lover bought three pairs of shoes, two handbags, and a hat. He really doesn't understand women's shopping preferences.

Linda's phone rang before the two men went down to the basement to see off the car. The call was from Elly. She invited the two of them to Hargreaves' house for dinner and Linda accepted it without hesitation.

"Ms. Elly invited us to dinner." She staggered and announced.

"Just the two of us?"

Listening to Gerald's tone of surprise, Linda could not help but wonder. "What happened to you? It's just dinner. What's with the fuss?"

"No, it's nothing." Gerald pinched her nose and explained that he thought her inarticulate temper needed to be repaired. "Boss Alex and I are going abroad on business tonight. The tickets are all booked."

"Is Elly do not know that Alex is on a business trip?" Linda suddenly realized something.

People who knew him to know that Alexis adores and respects Elly very much. He couldn't go on a business trip without notifying him. She expressed her doubts and asked Gerald. "Are you sure? Maybe it's on the other day?"

"I'm the one who booked the ticket. I can't be wrong."

If Gerald was telling the truth, there was indeed a problem, Linda asked cautiously. "Do you think I should tell Elly about this?"

"You still don't believe that Alex will betray Elly or hide something bad. Do you?"

Secretary Gerald, who had more reasons than he thought, hesitated for a moment and charged. "Elly always has her own plans and arrangements that we do not understand, do not think wishful thinking. You come to the Hargreaves' house tonight. if Elly asks me, say I'm too busy to go."

Linda came to Hargreaves' house in the evening. She held up the bottle and winked at Elly. "Tomorrow is the rest day, so we can stay up late."

"Okay, you'll get what you want," Elly answered briskly as she looked back at Linda. "Where's Gerald? Why he let you come alone?"

Although she had been told before, Linda could not help but be embarrassed when explaining. "Gerald has too much work to do. I didn't have time to arrange the time today. He asked me to apologize to you. He's sorry he couldn't come."

Without a doubt, Elly happily dragged Linda into the living room, took out fruit and tea to treat her, then told her to sit and play, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare some dishes.

Linda hesitantly goes into the kitchen but as she thought of the craftsmanship she had destroyed, she sat obediently drinking tea.

Emily came down from upstairs and looked at Linda's leisurely appearance. Her eyes were itchy.

"Why are you here?" Emily asked as if she were the owner of the house, stood idly by in front of Linda, and was arrogant.

Linda was not an easy person to bully. She stuffed ripe grapes into her mouth, shrunk and chewed, and then laughed. "Why am I here? What does it have to do with outsiders like you? The owner of this villa is Elly. I am her friend so why not?"

Miss. Emily suddenly let go of her hand and wanted to hit people but the coffee table hindered her action.

At the same time, Elly walked out of the kitchen, quickly grasped the situation, and clearly felt the smell of gunpowder between the two people. She hurriedly pulled Linda over and pushed hard into the kitchen.

Elly smiled at Emily again. "When did you get off work? Give me a minute. The food is almost finished. When I get back, let's go to the table."

Without saying a word, Emily stared at the kitchen door, and in her ear was Elly's noise to Linda. Although Elly was friendly and hospitable, she always felt like an outsider in the house. She loses to an outsider like Linda.

In the kitchen, Linda heard what Elly said to Emily. She was sure that Elly did not know that Alexis was on a business trip. She measured Gerald's instructions but thought about the emotional loss of the woman, and especially felt betrayed. She was so uncomfortable that she made her change her mind.

Linda pulled her aside, her voice cautious and hesitant. "Elly, don't you know that Mr. Alex is on a business trip? Gerald has also gone abroad."

"Work abroad?" Elly was startled and her heart was tied up and showed a very pitiful stiff smile, but in just a few seconds her smile appeared. "The sudden work made it impossible for two people to enjoy the delicious food tonight. You know Mrs. Hargreaves' cooking.:

Although she said this with a smile on her face, Elly still could not hide the loss in her voice. Alex did not tell her about the business trip. She looked forward to him for dinner like a fool and invited friends to her house.

Seeing that Elly was unhappy, Linda regretted saying this and tried to persuade her in a good direction. "Mr. Alex may be too busy and may not have time to tell you, don't think so much. He loves you. You know that, right?"

She smiled faintly as she answered "I'm fine" In fact, it is hard for Elly to smile brightly now.

In her room, Emily was holding a piece of paper, which was painted very cute, and the handwriting on it was as powerful as his own.

'Your Majesty, I'll be on a business trip for about three days. I'll give you a surprise when I get back. I love you'

Alex did not hide the trip to Elly nor did he go on a business trip without saying goodbye.

Alexis left a note for Elly before arriving at the company early in the morning, but Emily took it before she saw it.

She opened the corners of her mouth with cunning lava in her eyes, and the paper in her hand was rolled up and thrown into the dustbin in the bedroom.

Although she had done something bad, Emily was envious and had nowhere to vent. She felt that the longer the intimate relationship between Alex and Elly, the sooner she was smoked to death by the intimacy between Alex and Elly. She hates it.

So when it came to dinner, despite Elly's personal invitation and a cordial smile, Emily refused without hesitation.

"I don't want to eat it". Emily said in disgust that there was no goodwill in his eyes. It's disgusting for me to eat with your colleagues."
