Chapter 81 Sprained Ankle

Alex nodded, but said nothing.

When she saw that he was so in love with his ex-wife, Elly got a little jealous. She also wanted someone to love and remember her as much as he did to his ex-wife.

Despite the end of the charity auction, the news that the Brotherhood "bought necklaces at a high price" triggered a large number of retweets and crazy comments online.

"Did Alex buy the necklaces for 2 million cash from the Muhammad fund? That is public money laundering, right?"

Maybe Moose wanted to establish a good image for his leader. "I heard that Sir Alex is still single. There were different opinions, netizens kept guessing, and some people even dig up Alex's love history."

There were rumors that Miss Emily has been spreading for three years now.

"Alex's love life was really pure, from beginning to end, he was only with two women."

It was said that Emily predicted such an outcome from the beginning, power was handed over to the public relations team so the problem would be solved as quickly as possible.

Secretary George also met with Elly separately. "There are a bunch of reporters eyeing around the company these days. You should not go to work or show up at the same time as Boss Alex. Otherwise, the company's public relations will be engaged into rumors again."

Elly was not a silly woman either. She understood the situation and agreed immediately.

"Please rest assured that I will be careful not to cause trouble to the company."

"Alex don't want to get into trouble at this sensitive moment. The media are always distorting the facts, and no one knows how much slander they will cause to the truth." Secretary George patted her on the shoulder and left.

He was secretly remorseful, during the charity, he did not go together to stop the boss.

Although it was an exaggeration to learn about online news, Alex's emotional message still made her unhappy. Obviously, he got along well with his ex-wife, he didn't have any immoral conduct and had no extramarital affairs, and Elly only felt jealous. At the back of her mind, 'You're not the woman he's referring to.'

Elly walked down the stairs as she watched the news on her mobile phone. Due to absentmindedness, her step got out of balance, her body fell forward. Her hand tried to grab the handrail but she failed to do so because she was also holding her mobile phone. She fell on the stairs, rolled down twice and stumbled on the floor.

This was the first time she had been face down because of her clumsiness. When she stood up, the tingling of her ankle made her fell to the floor.

She put her hand on her ankle and her eyes got heavy with pain.

"What happened to you?" The voice roared with anxiety from the top of her head.

With a trembling heart, Elly looked up at the man who she was asked to avoid contact with and saw him look down to her. Suddenly, she wanted to act coquettish. "You must have sprained your foot."

Alex sat behind her, carefully grabbed her ankle and checked on the swelling. "You are always kind and annoy others at the same time."

When she did not hear the comfort she wanted, Elly pushed his hand away and in a stiff tone she said, "This is a company and we should restrict contact. If colleagues or the media see it, the rumors will be bad. Sir Alex, you go first. I can help myself."

"You got nothing. You fell down the stairs. What are you going to do with a crippled leg? Or is that how you get a man's attention? Seek their concern?" Too worried, Alex let anger controlled his speech, and the more he said it, the ruder he became.

Although she was familiar with Alex's "poisonous tongue", she felt disheartened at this time because he was true to his words and deeds. "It's none of your business. If I want to attract anyone, it will definitely be not you."

"I'll take you to the hospital." Alex also realized that he had said something bad and hurriedly lowered his voice.

"No, I'll just gently twist my feet and massage it for a while." Elly looked at his soft eyes and remembered his loyalty to his ex-wife. She then felt a pain in her chest and got out of breath.

"Don't be stubborn and come with me to my office, I'll massage your feet." Alex bent down to pick up the mobile phone that had been dropped on the floor, and Elly rushed forward in horror.

He was surprised to find that she forgot the pain in her leg just to grab the phone, and he squinted dangerously. "Is there anything in there you don't want to show me?"

Elly can't show him the mobile phone screen, on which the news she's reading was about his history. She didn't want to be misunderstood as secretly caring about his life.

She did not answer the question and quietly tried to stand up, but she lost her balance and fortunately Alex came and caught her back.

"Are you going to jump going to my office on one foot?'

"You don't have to worry about me!" Alex did not hide his concern, but Elly refused, she pushed his hand and glued her eyes to the railings. "I have a lot of work to do, and I won't bother you by worrying."

As he watched Elly limping away, Alex felt uncomfortable and his patience had reached its limit.

Walking over his wayward body, he bent down, picked her up, and walked back to the office.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Without warning, her response was to put her arms around his neck so that she wouldn't fall. It took a few seconds to wake up. Elly yelled, grabbed his hair and twitched violently, and tried to get down from his arms.

Alex saw a fierce Elly for the first time, and his hair was twitched. His eyes became ferocious, and he slapped her on the ass and yelled. "Shut up!"

Such a big mess made the staff in each room curious and stunned one after another. The secret relationship between General Alexis Hargreaves and his secretary has been affirmed in everyone's mind.

At that moment, Elly's face was as red as a ripe tomato. She dared not to look at him and cried painfully. "I can use my legs to walk."

Alex ignored her nonsense and focused on the sprain of her ankle. After careful examination, he took the medicine for the twist from the medical kit and sprayed it to the swollen ankle.

"Just wait for a minute! Rub it gently with your hand" Alex said gently.

Elly's pain tolerance was very poor, according to her leg retraction instinct. Alex thought his movement was a bit forceful, which caused her to twitch. He looked up and she read anxiety in his black eyes. "Did I hurt you?"

Fully felt that his care was real, as well as careful and light movements, Elly seemed to have forgotten the pain in her ankle. At that time, only her trembling heart was out of control.

Her red face made Alex misunderstood that she was trying to quell the pain, and he nervously made suggestions. "Let's go to the hospital. It could be a fracture."

Then he bent down, hugged her and tried to pick her up, but Elly hurriedly drove his hand away. "Wait a minute!"
