Chapter 28 How Long Do You Intend to Keep It from Me?


    “Ding…” The lift doors opened. Allison was out of ideas and could only muster her courage and walk


    out. She certainly couldn’t escape now and she had to sneak in just to deliver a file. She took a deep


    breath and steadied her footsteps and walked in normally.


    At the entrance of the office, she raised her hand to knock on the door and entered after being asked to


    enter. Alexander was sitting at his desk reading a document. He was the only one in the spacious


    office.

    Allison held tightly onto the file and walked in slowly. “These are the documents that you had requested


    for, Mr. Parker.”


    Alexander nodded gently and hardly changed his expression, “Okay, put it down.”


    Allison blinked and continued, “I’ll take my leave if that’s all.”


    As soon as she finished, Alexander said, “Why did you suddenlye to the office? Aren’t you


    supposed to be resting at home?”


    Allison hesitated and then said, “I… I’m bored at home and decided toe back to work.”


    Alexander heard, paused, and then stood up suddenly and walked towards her. He looked down at her


    and asked, “What happened to your leg?”


    Allison paused and took a step back, “Nothing… nothing’s wrong.” How did he notice that she was


    enduring the pain when she walked?


    Alexander frowned and led her towards the sofa and forced her to sit down. “Don’t move, let me have a


    look.”


    He squatted down as he said and took out her high heel shoes. Allison retracted her foot but her lower


    leg was held firmly by him. Alexander lowered his head and saw the bloody wound on her heel and his


    gaze darkened. Why didn’t she say anything when her wound had be so serious?


    He suddenly raged, frowned, and stared at Allison, “How long do you intend to keep it from me?”


    Allison was speechless by his question and could only look down and maintained her silence.


    Alexander stood up and opened the cupboard to take out a first aid kit. He took out some medical


    gauze and disinfectant and started to clean Allison’s wound. He sat down beside Allison and ces her


    lower leg on his thigh. He gently and lovingly attended to her wound.


    As Allison looked at Alexander’s dashing and handsome face concentrating on attending to her wound,


    a fire within her was lit and the fire started to rage.


    “So…” Allison forced to distract herself, “Did I do something I wasn’t supposed tost night?”


    Alexander’s expression changed slightly when he heard her asking about what happenedst night. He


    looked amused at her, “Do you want to know what happenedst night?”


    Allison immediately nodded, “I… did I cause you any trouble?”


    Alexander raised his eyebrow and continued to dress her wound, “If grabbing onto my neck and kissing


    me isn’t any trouble, then no.”


    “What?” Allison was shocked and subconsciously said, “I…”


    Blood rushed to her head and her already red and warm face became came to boiling point. Even her


    ears became ruby red. To think that she actually grabbed onto Alexander’s neck! How embarrassing


    was that!


    When he saw her embarrassed expression, Alexander became amused. Hepleted the dressing


    and reminded, “Get rid of your shoes if they do not fit well.”


    He stood up and walked to his desk and made a call, “Send over a pair of size 36dies’ t-soled


    shoes.”


    After he ended the call, he walked back to the sofa and instructed Allison, “Bernard will deliver a pair of


    ts for you. Leave after you change into that.”


    “Throw away this pair of shoes.”


    Allison sat on the sofa and replied, “Okay.”


    Momentster, Bernard knocked on the door and entered with a pair of brand-new size 36 t-soled


    shoes for her.


    Bernard was initially puzzled as to why Mr. Parker wanted a pair ofdies’ shoes. He realized this as


    soon as he saw Allison. He ced the shoes down and immediately left, not wanting to interfere.


    When she saw Alexander walking over with the shoes, Allison’s heart warmed up, and said, “Thanks.”


    She didn’t know how Alexander knew about the wound on her leg. But without a doubt, he was a very


    thoughtful man.


    “This is my duty. No need to thank me.” Alexander said calmly, “How do you feel on the first day at


    work after your promotion?”


    Allison took a deep breath, “Pretty good…”


    “Okay, look for Bernard if you need any help.”


    Alexander said and walked back to his desk to continue with his work. Allison changed into the new


    pair of shoes and ced her high heels into a bag before leaving the office. Her wounds still hurt after


    the dressings but were much better than before. What she didn’t expect was Alexander to be so


    detailed and thoughtful. He even instructed Bernard to deliver a pair of t-soled shoes for her. Allison


    smiled unconsciously when she thought of this. She patted lightly on her blushing cheeks as she


    walked forward.


    “Wait a minute!”


    A familiar voice rang out behind her and Allison turned around in surprise. It was Lillian who was the


    secretary she saw when she brought the spare ribs soup for Alexander yesterday. Lillian stared at her


    with reservation and sized her up several times and then asked, “Which department are you from?”


    Allison didn’t have a good impression of her but she did not want to say too much to her and then


    replied, “HR department.”


    Lillian frowned when she heard and then took a look at the badge on her chest, “Allison? Have we


    met? Your voice is very familiar…”


    “Really?” Allison grinned, “Is there anything? I’ll leave if there isn’t. I have works to do.”


    Lillian frowned and looked at the shoes on Allison’s feet, “Just now I saw House Steward Davis


    bringing in a pair of shoes into the office. Were they what you are wearing now?”


    Allison frowned and said coldly, “Ms. Charles, I have work to do, I’ll leave now.”


    After she said, she walked away.


    Lillian chased after her and said, “Stop right there. Let me warn you. No matter what department you


    are in, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t you try to seduce our Mr. Parker! You can give up on


    your advances as long as I’m here at the Director’s office!”


    Allison frowned when she heard Lillian say these. She actually thought that Allison was herpetitor.


    Allisonughed and said, “Ms. Charles, not everyone is as scheming as you are!”


    Lillian’s face turned pale when she heard Allison, “What do you mean?”


    Allison couldn’t be bothered and continued walking forward.


    She looked at Allison entering the lift and red at her furiously.


    She felt that Allison sounded familiar just with their short conversation.


    Suddenly an image shed before her eyes. The person who wore a hat and a mask when delivering


    food for Alexander, was Allison!
