Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Who would You Choose?

Elly was stunned as she stepped into the hotel's private room.

John, who should have been abroad was now seated with President Andrew?

John was also surprised when he saw Elly with Alex. He only knew that Mr. Andrew had a cooperation meeting tonight, but he did not know his partner in detail.

After a period of separation, John did not think he would meet her in this situation. He looked at her beautiful expensive clothes accompanied by Alex and suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

'Is it possible that their fate has not yet ended?' John thought to himself. Alex seemed unaffected, politely shook hands with President Andrew.

"Mr. Andrew, long time no see." Then he absently looked at John "Is this the young master from Elliot's? I don't know that date includes you. "

Mr. Andrew did not see Alex's hidden words, he simply explained. "He is my friend. Do you also know I have gout? He used to help me with surgery. After leaving the hospital, he forbade me to drink. Today, he knows I have a social session, so he especially monitored me" Mr. Andrew laughed.

Thanks to Mr. Andrew's relaxed tone, the atmosphere calmed down a lot. Everyone sat at the table, Elly could not sit next to Mr. Andrew, so her position was very awkward. On the right was the cold Alex, on the left was John who was staring at her.

The dinner was extremely uncomfortable, Elly's body was always tense, her brain was so empty that she could not even hear Alex calling her.

"Elly?" Alex lightly kicked her feet, it made her awake again. "Give the contract to President Andrew."

Alex looked at her unhappily, he glanced at John and understood the reason for her lack of concentration. She hurriedly took the pre-prepared contract and she handed it to Mr. Andrew with both hands. For a moment she met John's eyes. The feeling of nostalgia and reprimand made her feel sorry because she was with Alex tonight. She always knew that he didn't like Alex. She bit her lip, wanted to suddenly stopped her breathes and die. She bowed to ask Alex's permission. "Sir, I would like to go to the powder room."

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, she sighed. The person who was not searched after she was John, the one who goes abroad without saying a word was also him. The person who has the right to blame must be her.

But after she received many expensive outfits from Alex, she was stunned when she saw John. She thought of what was wrong with her. She didn't betray her fiancé but she felt the anxiety like a sinner made her uncomfortable.

It took a long time for her to calm down, as soon as she stepped out, the door was blocked. A strong arm pulled her inside and pushed her hard against the bathroom door.

"Mr. Alex? What are you doing?" She was surprised by the person who appeared.

Alex did not answer, he put his hand on the door, surrounded her in his lap, releasing every word slowly. "Are you nervous when sitting next to your fiancé?"

"I ..."

"The attitude of both of you made me suspicious. Do you really love John? " Alex's voice trembled slightly, anxiously waited for her answer.

Such a tone made her confused. Elly thought 'Was her attitude so obvious? If Alex also realized, would John ...'

She honestly replied, "I don't know if I told you already? He is my only relative in this world, no matter what happens between us, it can be solved... "

The sentence stopped when Alex roughly squeezed her chin, mocked coldly. The question was emphasized again. "Do you love him?"

She was difficult to understand because she sensed that he was angry. She felt something vaguely. He was also the first person to persist in knowing her real feelings.

But in the end, she just said. "Does it matter?"

"It's important" Alex leaned closer whispered into her ear, each word that he said was like a hook that hooked her heart. "As long as you say that you don't love him, I'll immediately take you out of here."

Alex's eyes were extremely serious. She was shocked and she pulled her shoulders back in embarrassment.

In just a few seconds, she laughed lightly and pushed Alex slightly extending the dangerous distance between them. "Boss, I appreciate this. But you must have misunderstood, nothing was happening between us. We've been away from the party for quite a while, we should come back. "

After that, She leaned over his arm and opened the door and went out quickly where Alex could not see, her face was red, her heart was beating rapidly. She doesn't know Alex's purpose when he said he wanted to help her leave here to avoid the dilemma, it touched her heart enough.

It turned out that the boss wasn't the kind of unintentional coldness as a rumor. The contract was signed smoothly, and the dinner ended earlier than expected.

In front of the hotel, Mr. Andrew said goodbye first, Elly did not dare to look in John's direction and went straight to Alex's car.

"Hurry up!" Alex urged.

Elly bowed her head to get into the car when her wrist was grabbed by John. She turned and met his gentle gaze. "Elly, do you really want to leave without hearing my explanation?"

"I'm a bit tired today, maybe ..." Elly utters but interrupted by Alex

"I said get in the car!" Alex shouted angrily. He's always been a little impatient.

Alex's attitude made John so angry, he raised his voice in annoyance. "Mr. Alex don't yell at your staff like that. Thank you for your courtesy to bring her home. Now you can leave, I will take care of my fiancée."

Elly felt the atmosphere become humid, so, she hurriedly pulled John's hand to signal Alex.

Alex chuckled, he disregards Elly's attitude, rudely brushing off their hands, looked straight at Elly, and stubbornly asked, "Who would you choose?"

Alex's question was very misleading, Elly does not want to lose John but she also wants to keep her distance from the boss, so she gently said "Sir, I think my work here is already done. I can go home by myself, thank you for your kindness."

Alex breathed heavily but in the end, he just glared at her, he just got into his car and soared away at breakneck speed. While she looked at Alex's car, Elly felt strange inside of her. It was not until John pulled her body that she recovered.

"Elly, where do you live now?" John asked the question that had built up in his heart, he did not like her eyes as she looked at Alex, he wanted to use another topic to draw attention.

"Now that you ask, is it a bit late?" Elly angrily glared at him.

John was delighted by her unruly attitude, hurriedly hugged her with respect.

"Sorry, Elly. It is my fault that makes you suffer a lot of writhes. After knowing that you are missing, I wanted to quickly find you. However, my mother gave the conditions of accepting you, I must be successful in my career. I should meet her request so our love will not be prohibited. Going abroad is also her arrangement, I am very worried about you, but for our future, I have no choice. "

John told Elly all these things, he just hopes she can forgive him.

"John, the one who must apologize is me." Elly's sudden apology surprised him, he pushed her away slightly, looked at her beautiful face, and gently listened to her.

"For the past three years, the one who always holding you back was me. I know you are a talented person. Many opportunities have come to you but because you want to stand by me in surgery, and urge me to study, you have missed many opportunities."

"Elly, it's not like that," John shouted, squeezed her arms, said in pain. "I missed nothing. You are more important than anything. I like to be with you, I like to study with you, I like to walk with you on the street, everything related to you is important to me. So, I never need a choice when deciding. "

"What about your mother? " Elly asked John and she realized that his body stopped, his eyes wavered briefly.

"John, I am important to you, but you are also important to your mother." She sighed with sadness. "We all understand that everything she does is because she loves you. What can I do with someone who puts you above everything? "
