Chapter 2216
Alma looked at Candice with some uncertainty. "What about the people from the jewelry endorsement?"
Candice smiled and said, "It's okay. You know that they just want to have a relationship with the Alwynn family. Let's take a break. You should dress up well tomorrow night and ask Mr. Jefferson out. I have another clothing endorsement here. With Mr. Jefferson there, we will soon sign the contract."
"The company doesn't give us many resources, so we can only find our own. You are young, so you mustn't waste time. This time, with Mr. Henrick's help, you must become famous." She had always only interests in her eyes, but once Alma had lost her value, she would abandon her without hesitation.
Alma had always been used to being helped and she was obedient to some of Candice's words. For example, Candice was right about Henrick.
"Okay!" Alma thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Candice smiled and looked at Alma's beautiful little face. "Go upstairs and have a rest. As for Mr. Henrick, I will help you find a way to solve this once and for all."
Alma took a deep breath. Now that she had a solution, she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Miss Yates, I'll go up and rest first. You should rest early too." Alma got up and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Candice looked at Ellie. "Ellie, pay attention to Mr. Henrick during this period of time and find out what's going on between him and Alice."
Ellie nodded and said, "I've been observing them. I always feel that the atmosphere between them is very different. I feel that Mr. Henrick cares about her a lot."
Candice frowned, and her brows furrowed as she fell deep into her thoughts. She has also realized that problem.
She looked at Ellie and said, "Since there is still some relationship between Alma and Mr. Henrick, let's make good use of it and gain a few more endorsements. We should earn enough money first."
Ellie nodded with a strange smile. Sometimes Alma was very smart, but sometimes, she was stupid. Miss Yates had been taking advantage of Alma's relationship with Henrick all these years, so she got a lot of money. She smiled and nodded. "Miss Yates, I know what to do."
Candice smiled and spoke with interest on her face, "I like your cleverness."
"Hehe..." Ellie smiled and looked at her with gratitude. Her family was poor. All these years, thanks to Candice and Alma, she was able to pay off the debts at home. "Miss Yates, you're the one who did a good job."
"Well, as long as we have powerful people with us, we will have endless money. You have to work hard these days." Candice narrowed her eyes slightly. If she could design the relationship between Henrick and Alma, there would be a cash cow in the future.
The next morning, because of the day off, Alice relaxed and slept in. Usually, she rarely had time to sleep. On one hand, she had to take care of her children. On the other hand, she still had a lot of work to do. She rarely slept past nine o'clock on the weekend.
She slept until 11 o'clock, but she was still awakened by the knock on the door.
The moment she opened her eyes, her face was filled with anger.
Knock, knock, knock... There were more and more knocks on the door.
She was speechless. Was this person attacking the door? Why were they getting so worked up for?
She went to open the door barefoot and thought that Lane was looking for her. She suddenly opened the door and saw a handsome face with sharp edges.
Henrick was wearing a casual black suit, which made his facial features look more defined as if they had been carved by the heavens.
However, in the early morning, he saw the charming scenery. She looked down at Alice's snow-white skin and couldn't move his eyes away.
She followed his gaze and looked down. Her eyes suddenly widened and she lowered her head to look at her deep V pink nightdress. It was extremely sexy.
She glared at him angrily and was about to close the door when he quickly said, "Go in and change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside the door."
Alice slammed the door shut and leaned against it nervously. She could never have imagined that it was Henrick.
Looking at how she had just woken up and the infatuated look in his eyes, she was so angry that she wanted to kill him. "What's wrong with this man?"
Presently, it seemed that he was stuck to her.
When she thought of the look in his eyes just now, she was both angry and embarrassed.
A few minutes later, she washed herself up and changed into a set of white sportswear. She always liked to wear comfortable clothes. When she was not at work, she basically dressed in comfortable clothes. She hesitated for a moment when she thought of what he had said, but she still opened the door to take a look.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw his dark eyes.
The children of the Alwynn family had all inherited Victor's dark eyes, which were extremely attractive.
Alice seemed to have fallen into a deep whirlpool, and her eyes were firmly locked onto his.
It wasn't until Henrick cleared his throat that she came to her senses. She took a step back and asked with a red face, "What do you want from me?"
He glanced at his hand and said, "Didn't you say last night that if I couldn't do it myself, you would help me apply the medicine?"
She asked, "Where's your assistant?"
"He hasn't come back yet. I asked him to check the script that day. He may need some time to clarify things one by one."
She was speechless.
He really did what he said.
Alice looked at him calmly and said, "It's over. You don't have to do this. You don't believe me, so you want the truth. Alternatively, you don't believe in someone else, so you want to convince yourself."
Her words shocked him.
He really didn't dare to believe that the girl he had protected since he was a child would do such a thing.
Looking into his eyes, she understood everything.
Her heart ached instantly. He only had Alma in his heart. She said, "Henrick, do you know why I forgave you so quickly?"
His heart skipped a beat. He looked at her quietly with his dark eyes.
She took a step back and said, "Come in first. Let's make things clear."
For a moment, he didn't want to go in. He knew what would happen after he stepped in.
However, he still walked into the room.
"Sit down and rest for a while. I'll take care of your wound first." Alice went to the bathroom to get some hot water.
Henrick sat on the sofa in silence. Under the crystal light, his delicate facial features were filled with a faint sense of loss and sadness.
She came out very quickly. First, she treated the wound on his foot, and then she made a hot compress for his hand. After a whole night, his swollen hand had recovered a lot, but the bruise looked even more serious.
Her heart ached when she saw this. All these years, she had loved this man with all her heart and soul. She couldn't bear to see him suffer even a little.
He just watched her busying herself in silence, and neither of them said a word.
He still saw her red-rimmed eyes, just like the previous night.
He couldn't help smiling. "This woman loves me so much. She has loved me for more than ten years, so how can she forget me so easily?"
