Ecstacy of the Heart

Lara knew what he meant. She nodded while smiling secretly and quietly went out of the room.

Alexander reached out his hand and gently patted Allison's cheek, "Get up and drink the hangover cure soup."

Allison was as drunk as a lord. She frowned and just turned her head, totally ignoring him.

Apparently, it was impossible to let her get up and drink it by herself. So, Alexander withdrew his hand from the woman's hand. He picked up the bowl while holding the spoon and feeding her. When Allison smelled the taste, she frowned and refused to open her mouth.

"You really don't want to drink?" Alexander's eyebrow furrowed. He had never been patient to anyone like this before. If it was someone else, he might have run out of patience but since it was Allison, he would not do so.

It seemed like Allison was startled due to Alexander's serious tone. She slightly nodded, opened her eyes and said softly, "I'll drink..."

Under Alexander's words which sounded like advising and threatening at the same time, Allison drank half of the hangover cure soup. She could not resist her sleepiness and then fell asleep.

Alexander glanced at the person sleeping on the bed. He felt relieved and closed the door after going out of the room quietly.

He wanted to go to another bedroom to rest but his phone suddenly rang at this moment, "Hello, Mr. Parker, Ms. Hunter just had a nightmare. She cries and clamours that she wants to see you." Upon hearing the words, Alexander held his phone even tighter and frowned. He immediately said, "I'll go there now!"

After hanging up the phone, without hesitation, he took his suit jacket and hurriedly went out. His figure gradually disappeared in the dusk.

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight entered the room, Allison rolled over and her eyes opened.

She still felt a bit dizzy. She rubbed her temple with her hand and sat up.

She tried to think of the matter that happened yesterday but her mind suddenly went blank that she could not remember anything.

It seemed like she indeed got plastered last night!

Allison sighed, got up and walked towards the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom, Allison paced to the first floor and at this moment, Lara had just finished preparing breakfast.

"Missus, quickly come, the breakfast is ready."

Allison looked around but she did not see Alexander, so she asked, "Where is Alexander?"

"The young master left last night. He apparently had something urgent to do as he left in a hurry." Lara approached Allison and pulled her to the dining table, "It's normal that the young master is busy with such status but I think he really cares a lot about you. He was the one who took care of you yesterday when you were drunk...”

"Huh?" Allison was surprised, "He was the one who took care of me?"

She had been drunk a few times before. All her friends and besties had said that her drinking etiquette was very bad and she could not be stopped when she got drunk and acted crazy. Did she do anything out of the ordinary last night?

This thought made Allison instantly felt worried. For some reason, a chill well down her spine.

It would be fine if she got drunk and acted crazy in front of Jennifer, Don or her friends and besties, but it was Alexander! She really did not dare to imagine the scene that happened at that time...

"I've never seen the young master care so much about someone!" Lara did not notice the change in Allison's expression and just smilingly pulled her to sit at the table.

Allison's cheeks flushed, not knowing whether it was because of shame or shyness. She finally smiled but did not answer, just lowering her head to have the porridge.

"By the way, missus, do you have any plans today?"

Hearing this, Allison suddenly paused.

She had thought about it yesterday that if nothing happened, she would go back to work today.

It had been several days since the day that she met an accident. Also, the wound on her neck was almost healed and she felt bored to be alone at home. So, she felt that it was better to go back to work. Allison smiled at Lara, "I'm planning to go back to work today."

Even though she and Alexander had already gotten the marriage certificate, she was clear that she could not just rely on Alexander for the rest of her life.

After having breakfast, Allison simply took the things needed and rushed to the company without further delay.

When she just arrived at the office area of the department, some of the colleagues looked at her with a complicated expression.

Allison pursed her lips.

She was promoted just a few days ago and then did not come to work for several days. So, her colleagues in the department were bound to feel suspicious about it. After putting her things on her desk, Allison directly went to the office of her department head, Irene to report for duty.

When she entered, Irene was talking with another department assistant, Monica.

Irene waved at Allison after seeing her standing beside the door, "Come here."

Allison immediately walked forward, “Irene, I have returned to the company and I come to report to you."

Irene slightly nodded, "I know, since you're here, then just listen to me together. Both of you are my assistants who assist the entire department. In the administration department, two of you play the most important role other than I, so you two have to perform well in the future. Allison, if you don't understand anything, just consult Monica, understand?"

Allison immediately nodded and agreed, "Alright, Irene."

Irene's face did not show much expression and she just spoke, "Good, I have already told Monica about the most important work in the department recently. Monica, you guide Allison to make her familiarize with the specific details."

"Alright, don't worry, Irene."

Monica smiled kindly and while saying, she turned to look at Allison and smiled at her, "Alice, you come with me."

Allison was merely a clerk in the department before so she did not have much contact with Monica. She was originally worried that Monica might detest her but now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

Allison secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She nodded and immediately followed Monica, "Okay, thank you, Monica."

Two of them walked out of Irene's office side by side and Monica led her to the side, "From today onwards, you'll have your own office and you can move your things over later after you have finished packing up your things."

Looking at the spacious and bright office, Allison's heart exploded with joy. She also had the opportunity to have her own office in her lifetime!

"Thank you, Monica, what Irene said just now about work, may I ask..."

As soon as Allison mentioned this, Monica's face slightly darkened. Her expression on her face was no longer as kind as earlier, but with a little impatience, "I'll tell you later.”

As she said, she took out a document from the folder and put it on the desk, "The holidays are around the corner, this is the list of employees' benefits prepared by the company. You have to handle and purchase these things, there are instructions regarding the funding and the business partners. You go to handle this first."

Allison took a look at the document and answered with some excitement, "Okay, leave this to me!"

Looking at Allison who turned and left, a trace of coldness flashed in Monica's eyes.

She had a headache whenever she had to procure the employees' benefits. The funding given by the company was limited and the prices stated by the business partner were rising every time. So, as the intermediary, it was a hard but thankless task. Now, since Allison had just been promoted, she would naturally ask Allison to handle this hot potato.

If Allison messed up this matter, not only Monica would not be blamed for it, but this was also a good opportunity to let Allison leave the office directly!
