Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Would You Like Some Wine?
Soon, they arrive at an office. The man in glasses knocks the door and opens it. He walks in with Alice Roberts and respectfully says to the man who is working, "President."
The man in a white shirt and tie is looking at the papers.
From where Alice Roberts stands, she can see his hair floating in front of his forehead, slightly covering his deep eyes, his face is angular and handsome. He is dedicated to work and looks like a model shooting a fashion magazine, which is absolutely seductive.
"Well, what's the matter?" Edward Smith asks casually, still not looking up.
"Miss Roberts is here to see you," says Allen Ginsberg.
Edward Smith, with a pen in his hand, looks up with his dark eyes and sees Alice Roberts in a white dress standing there. Her clean and delicate face with the angel-like innocence seems as the same as five years ago.
She is not as miserable as he thought. Instead, she leads a better life and is more attractive than five years ago.
"Please leave us alone."
"Ok!" Allen Ginsberg answers respectfully, turns away from the office and closes the door.
There are only two of them in the office now, and Alice Roberts is getting nervous. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
The sexes with him in the hospital and villa come to her mind, and she blushes for a moment and draws a few steps back from him.
He watches her behavior and smiles.
He walks up to her step by step and stops at a distance of three steps. He says with his magnetic voice and smiles, "What's the matter?"
Alice Roberts bites her lips and looks at Edward Smith. "You don't have to pretend. Did you do tricks to my work in the hospital?"
"Exactly."
Edward Smith admits this without any hesitation, causing Alice Roberts stunned for a moment. She says angrily then, "Why did you do that? That my being a doctor has anything to do with you?"
"I just feel uncomfortable about it."
Edward Smith steps past Alice Roberts to the other side of the room. He opens the freezer, taking out the wine, pouring himself a glass of it, and drinks it slowly.
Alice Roberts is irritated by his behavior, "Edward Smith, we ended up five years ago. I don't owe you anything. Why did you do this to me?"
"I like it."
Alice Roberts is so angry that her chest is up and down and she would pick something up and throw it at Edward Smith if she could.
Looking at Alice Roberts' angry face, Edward Smith smiles even happier; he raises his wine glass and laughs, "Would you like some?"
Alice Roberts tries to calm her anger and forces a smile, "Edward Smith, what do you want? Just say it."
"I won't be your mistress, don't even think about it!"
"Mistress? I'm sorry, I don't want that now." Edward Smith shrugs and gives her a you-thought-too- much look.
Alice Roberts grinds her teeth.
"Don't you like to watch man's genitals? Don't worry. I won't fire you because it’s just our personal stuff. After all, you are a star doctor who came back from abroad. I happened to be a little uncomfortable recently, so I told the dean that you can only serve me this year."
Edward Smith speaks very slowly with a smile on his face.
Alice twitches her lips when she heard that——to be his private doctor for a whole year!
How did he come up with that?
"Oh, by the way, you will get a high salary for being my private doctor. Just triple what you made in America."
Edward Smith adds and looks at Alice Roberts' completely gloomy face with satisfaction.
Screw you and your money!
Alice Roberts would have liked to shout, but she can't say no to such a well-paid job though Edward Smith is smirking.
No, how could she sell her soul for money!
She decided to cut off all commination with him.
"I have no objection. If you want to refuse, I can clear your schedule for a year at any hospital you go to."
Edward Smith raises his eyebrow and says arrogantly.
Alice Roberts grits her teeth and stares at Edward Smith, "Do you mean that you will let me go as long as I serve you for one year?"
"Don't worry, I have lost interest in you for a long time. Although there is still some sexual interest, one year is enough for me to get tired of you."
"Good! Remember what you said! There's no problem to be your private doctor and I hope you can pay my monthly salary on time."
The lovely appearance of the angry woman biting her lips somehow makes Edward Smith, who wanted to torture her for pleasure, even more tempted. She is a conceited woman who has aborted the kid and abandoned him for money.
But when he met her again, all the thought of revenge he has imagined for ten thousand times disappeared. He only wanted to possess her and keep her by his side, making her unable to go anywhere.
"Don't worry about the salary as long as you can do your job well." Edward Smith puts down his wine glass and approaches Alice Roberts with graceful steps.
Alice Roberts is vaguely aware of danger. She is pulled over into his arms before she tries to step back, as if she is throwing herself into his arms.
"Miss Hale, the President is having business with the client..."
"I have to see Edward right now. Move way!"
Alice Roberts immediately recognizes the voice of Joanna Hale and pushes Edward Smith away. She is in a panic. What should she do? Joanna Hale is coming.
What if she sees her in Edward's office?
She has to hide away. But where could she hide herself in this place?
Edward Smith frowns as he sees her expression of fear. Is she so reluctant to be seen by Joanna Hale? Indeed, Joanna Hale is his fiancée now, and it's normal for his ex-wife to hide from her.
But he wants to see what will happen if his ex-wife bumps into his fiancée?
"Edward!"
Joanna Hale pushes the door open with a huge smile but freezes when she sees Alice Roberts in the office, "Alice Roberts, why are you here?"
Alice Roberts gives Edward Smith a sharp look. He could have kept Joanna Hale out of the room if he wanted to, but he didn't say anything on purpose.
"Perhaps Miss. Hale doesn't know my job?"
"I'm asking you why you are here."
Joanna Hale looks furious. She has warned the woman last time not to appear in front of her and Edward Smith. It seems she didn't understand and wants to take Edward Smith away,
"Don't get it wrong, Miss Hale. I'm here because there's something concerning with my profession."
Joanna Hale remembers the last time she saw Alice Roberts at the hospital, she wore the white gown. So she's probably a doctor.
