DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 5
Chapter 5
To be honest, Alexandra was mixed with sadness on her way to the hotel.
She could find no one to rely on in such a large city.
It was slightly colder in Highclere City.
Alexandra felt her eyes dry and sore as she entered the hotel room.
She had to find Ace Fulton as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she would lose her sight shortly later, as it had been three years ago.
The night closed in while Alexandra was enjoying an afternoon nap after taking a shower.
Suddenly, she was woken up by a phone call from an unfamiliar number.
“Hello? Who is it?
“Alexandra, this is Julian Ranford. I’m in the cafe on the ground floor of the hotel. Please come down.”
When Alexandra, in a white dress, strode out of the lift, she saw Julian in the al fresco cafe at first sight.
Julian always stood out in a crowd.
He was still in his well-cut dark suit, the same outfit he had worn when Alexandra had met him at the Ranford Tower in the afternoon.
And he still wore that strikingly glittering diamond watch.
Hotel guests were dining and chatting in twos and threes, and the cafe was not crowded now.
It was dark outside, and the evening scene was enjoyable.
Seated by the window, Julian was answering the phone and gazing out of the window.
The second Alexandra walked up to him, Julian had scarcely hung up and put the phone down.
His gaze roamed over Alexandra, whom he had only met once before.
This time, her ponytail turned into a shoulder-length bob, and she was dressed in a white one-piece dress.
Her hair was a little naturally curly, and her hair curly edges were endearing.
Her faint scent spread around her and reached into Julian’s nose.
“Sit down, please,” said Julian.
Alexandra noticed Marco standing beside Julian after settling down.
With a file beneath his bag, Marco inquisitively examined the future Mrs. Alexandra with his eyes slowly dragging over her body.
“I have to say Mrs. Alexandra’s beauty overthrows states and cities She is much more beautiful than other young ladies in Highclere City!” exclaimed Marco in his mind.
Marco then handed Alexandra the file and spoke after Alexandra sat down, “Mr. Ranford asked me to draw up this contract. Ms. Doherty, please sign if you have no questions about it.”
Without any word, Julian leisurely picked up the coffee cup with a composed look.
Apparently. Marco’s words represented Julian’s thoughts.
Alexandra nicked her hair behind her ear and opened the sealed kraft paper bag with ease.
Inside it was the marriage contract mentioned by Julian.
The terms were consistent with what they had agreed on in the office of Ranford Tower this afternoon. Still, they seemed more rigorous and standardized after being revised by professional lawyers.
And they were concise and clear.
The contract unequivocally stated that the marriage between Alexandra and Julian was a marriage of convenience.
Julian should help Alexandra find the famous doctor Ace Fulton, while Alexandra should act as Julian’s wife.
Within the duration of this contract, Julian should transfer 240 thousand dollars to Alexandra on the 5th of every month.
The contract was provisionally set to last for a year.
And the additional term specified that the contract would not end until Julian helped Alexandra find Ace Fulton.
In addition, some important terms were emphasized.
For example, Julian and Alexandra should pretend to be an intimate and loving couple in front of their family..
But they should keep their marriage secret from the public.
They were forbidden from interfering with each other’s work and freedom.
And they had no right to invade each other’s privacy and personal life at will.
They should preserve boundaries in their private dealings.
Additionally, Party B should assist Party A in maintaining a good relationship with Party A’s family and friends.
If Party B couldn’t meet the requirements, Party A had the right to terminate the contract at any time,
All the terms and conditions were clearly laid out in the contract.
After careful perusal. Alexandra lifted her head and fixed her bright eyes on Jalian sitting opposite.
Julian met her eyes and asked, “Any problems?
Alexandra slightly shook her head, compressed her lips, and muttered after hesitating for a while, “Mr. Ranford, you are soi resourceful in Highclere City. You can definitely find Doctor Ace Fulton for me, can’t you?”
Julian paused for a second and opened his mouths, about to utter something. He would surely not tell Alexandra he had been looking for Ace Fulton for three years.
Finally, he maintained his composure and answered coolly, “I will try my best. It depends on your acting skill and performance as well.”
Alexandra understood what his words meant
But it didn’t matter. She would not solely rely on Julian. She would try to track down Ace Fulton on her own.
With a large amount of money transferred from Julian, Alexandra was confident she could make it.
At the thought of it, she signed with no further question.
Her beautiful and elegant handwriting drew Julian’s eyes.
Alexandra handed the pen back to Julian, who then signed directly as well.
While Julian was signing. Alexandra gazed attentively at Julian’s hand.
With a healthy complexion, his fingers were so slender and delicate.
How would such an elegant and clean man face so much dirt and so many skeletons in his closet?
Alexandra even smell a refreshing scent from Julian.
It was like the scent of the sea farther than the forests and the sunshine through the clouds.
In a trance, the scent gave Alexandra chills. She found it familiar.
She hadn’t noticed the scent before.
When Julian raised his hand after signing. he saw Alexandra staring at his face in fascination.
It was as if she were mesmerized.
Marco coughed with embarrassment Only by hearing Marco’s cough did Alexandra come back to her senses.
And she realized her eyes met Julian’s
Alexandra blanked embarrassedly, her ears burning.
“Did I stare hard at Julian for a long time just now?” she asked in her mind.
Compared to Alexandra’s flustered look. Julian stoically withdrew his eyes.
He then handed one of the two contracts to Alexandra.
Alexandra had regained her composure.
She looked straight at Julian and took it in both her hands.
She then caught sight of the signatures.
They were Alexandra Doherty and Julian Ranford.
She somehow found it funny.
And she burst into laughter.
Julian was attracted by the laughing and darted a curious glance at her.
Alexandra explained with a bright smile, “Mr. Ranford, does it mean that I earn 8 thousand dollars today?”
Julian answered calmly, “Yes,”
“You are nicer than my dad, responded Alexandra.
Alexandra had spoken the truth. Her dad was evil enough to ruin her life for one million dollars.
And Julian, the man Alexandra had only met two times, was so generous to her.
It was indeed a sharp contrast,
Julian was rendered speechless.

Chapter 5
Aware that her words were confusing, Alexandra waved her hand and hurriedly added, “It’s nothing serious. I just want to say… you are so rich. And you are so generous! Don’t worry, Mr. Ranford. I will perform my duties properly according to the contract and will not cause you any trouble! Please don’t forget your promise.”
Julian collected his thoughts and nodded, answering. “I will keep it in mind.”
For Alexandra, the contract with Julian was like a part-time job.
She could freely do what she wanted to do and got paidi
She could get 240 thousand dollars every month, equal to 8 thousand dollars every day!
Thinking of it, Alexandra was helpless with excitement.
Having no questions, Alexandra found it was time for them to say goodbye. Julian was busy all the time, and his time was valuable. Alexandra didn’t want to wait his time.
Moreover, she couldn’t wait to return to the hotel room and catch up on sleep.
Therefore, she decided to end the conversation. “Mr. Ranfold, if you need my help, please call me. I will be on call. Oh, by the way… She picked up her phone and muttered, “Let me save your phone number. Don’t worry, I will not bother you.”
Julian lifted an eyebrow and paned his lips, but he said nothing
It was Marco who had called Alexandra just now, so Alexandra was actually saving Marco’s phone number now.
Marco cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment, daring not to say anything as the CEO remained silent.
“Done!” Alexandra waved her phone with the corners of her mouth turned up.
Julian nodded lightly.
Alexandra then rose to her feet and exited with a spring in her step.
After leaving the hotel, julian went to Mount Victoria Hospital in Highclere City.
