Chapter 67 Caring but indifferent

This problem was formed in his mind during most of his time in the hospital.

He comes to see Elly every day, and he clearly feels that there had been a great change in her attitude towards Alex. When Alex disappeared, she was depressed, and he felt it.

Today, after he asked the question, he felt regret. He suddenly didn't want to face the answer.

Elly was surprised and smiled. For work, of course. She said that her dodging eyes did not look directly into John Elliot's eyes and even pretended to smile.

John Elliot did not expose him, he agreed that she deceived himself, deceived others, he put forward ideas according to her words.

"If you really just want to work, I can find you a job with a better environment and a higher salary. You don't have to work under the Hargreaves Company. He must be accusing and blaming all the time, isn't he?"

"I don't want to rely on you for the rest of my life." Elly looked up at him, her eyes mixed with gratitude and supplication.

"You have a girlfriend now, so be nice to her. Every girl is jealous, and even if she is generous, no one will accept that her boyfriend cares about another girl. Shift your attention to her, don't waste any more time with me." Elly said.

Elly does not know the stage of the relationship between John Elliot and Sarah Olsen. Although the engagement mentioned by Ms. Elliot was a fake, if two people fall in love, they will be really engaged in the future.

Her words stopped John Elliot from hesitating. The relationship between Elly and Alex was developing in an uncontrollable direction. She misunderstood his growing relationship with Sarah Olsen. Ms. Elliot didn't hurt her, and some people tried every means to kill her. These truths made John Elliot betray the agreement with his mother.

He said, "Elly, you misunderstand. Sarah Olsen and I are just mistresses in the contract."

"The mistress in the contract?" Elly looked at John Elliot in surprise. Apparently, the last time we met near Elliot's house, she found that the two were very close.

Elliot was out of breath and found himself foolishly hiding for a long time. "They all want to deal with their families, so they jointly sign an agreement to make us a fake lover for one month."

So, when you saw us two together.

Elliot held her hand and told the truth. Talking about the contract, pretending to be a lover. "I had no feelings for Miss Lu. So far, I have only feelings for you."

But even if John Elliot has nothing to do with Sarah Olsen, she can't go with John Elliot. She gently held out his hand, and under his inquisitive eyes, she said slowly. "Even though you are only the mistresses of the contract, for Mrs. Elliot, this is true. Your mother will never accept me."

"We will do it step by step, and then she will understand and love you and accept you."

"We worked hard for three years, but your mother never saw me except animosity and hatred." Elly shook his head and his eyes were firm.

John put his hands down slowly, and he was exhausted by the feeling of disappointment. John was an obstacle between him and her, and she can't overcome it, so she can't guarantee him a relationship with whatever she can. He came to Sri Lanka and came to John's ear. One day, he received hundreds of phone calls from his mother. He was very tired.

Elly knows that they have been in a stalemate, and he pretends to laugh comfortably. "Well, you don't have to worry about me."

"I can't! John's face suddenly darkened and he clung to her arm. Even if I can't take you into Elliot's Family, I won't let you be with Alex."

"Get her out of here!"

When they confronted each other, there was a scream running about in the distance. Secretary John appeared, dragged Elly behind the security guard, and shouted to Elliot. "You dare kidnap people in broad daylight?"

"I'll take my woman, and it's none of your business." John Elliot immediately argued.

"Your Woman?" Secretary John smiled, looked up at Elly, and asked curiously. "I didn't see your name written on her?"

"Goodbye!" Secretary John left John Elliot speechless with anger.

Secretary John smiled. "It's time for us to board the plane. Please go first."

Watching Secretary John protect Elly to the wait and leave, Elliot's inner sense of loss was getting stronger and stronger. He can catch up and take him back, but this will only arouse Elly's disgust.

After a ten-hour flight, Elly returned to City A. Secretary John wanted to take her home to rest, but Elly shook her head.

"Why don't you take me to the company?"

"Are you going to the office?" Secretary John caught a glimpse of Elly through the rearview mirror and persuaded him in a low voice. She just got off the plane, so she need took a rest to balance the time zone. Director Hargreaves specifically told me not to allow you to go to work today.

Elly would have obeyed in ordinary times, but what she had experienced in Sri Lanka, her concern for Alex was different. As long as she thought of him taking care of her day and night, and then rushed back to the country to deal with his work, she was already sad.

She politely persuaded Secretary John. "Please take me to the office. No matter what I can do, I can at least make some coffee and order, right? I don't think a work addict like General Manager Hargreaves will mind the time to eat."

Secretary John also learned about the uneven nature of the boss's work, twisting the steering wheel and telling him constantly. If Mr. Hargreaves asks, don't tell him that I take you to the company, or he will kill me.

Elly smiled humorously and nodded in agreement.

In the top office of the Hargreaves Company, Alexis Hargreaves's fingers swiftly slide on the keyboard. The screen kept running the data, and Alex seemed to be immersed in numbers, frowning slightly and making his face firm.

He was surprised to have smelled a familiar scent of coffee. I remember the coffee cup he had already drunk, but he was so devoted to his work that he didn't bother to ask his secretary to change it.

In the face of Elly's smiling face, Alex could not help but be surprised, "Why did you come to the company? Didn't Secretary John take you home to rest after getting off the plane? I told him you had the day off."

"If the Manager is working, how can a little secretary like me get lazy." Elly smiled from ear to ear.

Alex frowned, unconsciously picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, feeling the familiarity he had always liked.

She smiled from ear to ear with a contented face. "All in all, is there anything I can do?"

Alex frowned and said coldly to Elly. "Nothing, you can go home and have a rest. I won't deduct your salary."

The content of the speech was concerned, but the ruthless tone made her shudder. "Alex, I go to work for work, don't talk about salary."

"Go outside and do as I say!" Alex is getting colder and colder, chasing people loudly.

All right, Chief. Call me if you need anything. Elly quietly walked out of the office, biting his lip.

As soon as she closed the door, all the apathy on Alex's face was a mess. He felt that when he was with her, he was always unstable. He frowned and forced himself to work calmly.

Outside the office, Elly looked lonely and his hand was still on the doorknob.

Secretary Gerald has been paying attention to the movement since she entered the office and came to comfort her.

"Alexis always worked endlessly for a long time and even settled his lunch hastily, so he was in a bad mood. Don't worry about it."

ally shook her head. She didn't blame Alex, but a little sadness and scars condensed in her heart.
