Chapter 551 Blank Memories
However, before she could fully form that thought, the elevator stopped on another floor, and more people
entered.
As more people entered, those inside the elevator naturally squeezed into the corners. Alaric was pushed forward by the crowd and took two steps forward, causing Victoria to stumble a bit as well.
In the next moment, she instinctively tightened her grip around his waist, and their bodies pressed closely together.
She heard his laughter from above. It was deep and pleasant.
“You should have hugged me earlier, shouldn’t you?”
Upon hearing his words, Victoria couldn’t help but pout and pinch his waist.
Hiss.
Alaric gasped due to her pinch and caught hold of her restless hand while lowering his voice. “Don’t be naughty.”
The elevator was crowded, and they would be arriving at her company soon. He was afraid that if she continued pinching him like that, it wouldn’t look good when they got out.
Since their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, Victoria clearly felt something when she pinched him earlier. Her gaze changed slightly, and she silently criticized herself in her heart before she stopped the pinching and only held him lightly.
As the elevator ascended, Alaric felt the crowd behind him and let out a sigh.
“What if we change the location for the company?”
The place she rented for her company was shared with other companies, and there was only one elevator that everyone used to go upstairs, which was quite inconvenient.
Victoria blinked her eyes and replied, “Forget it. If I could change it, I would have done so earlier. I wouldn’t
have to wait until now.”
Although she had no memories, she knew that she must have chosen this place before due to financial constraints. Otherwise, who wouldn’t want a large and beautiful office environment as well as a dedicated
elevator?
Upon hearing her words, Alaric subconsciously spoke up. “But now I’m here, right? I can help you change it.”
It was supposed to be a heartwarming statement. However, it sounded different when Victoria heard it.
She looked at his handsome face, blinked her eyes lightly, and whispered, “What do you mean by ‘Now I’m
here”?”
Alaric’s expression changed slightly after he heard her words, and the smile on his lips faded a bit.
He pursed his thin lips as he knew that he had said the wrong thing. Fortunately, he was quick to react, and in just a few seconds, he came up with a response.

What I meant was, if you act a bit spoiled with me, I’ll help you change the company’s address right away.”
Victoria said, “You’re thinking too much.”
Ding-
Coincidentally, the elevator doors opened at this moment, and a crowd of people exited, instantly leaving the
elevator half empty. There was plenty of space remaining.
However, Alaric still kept his hand braced against her side and did not let her go. Instead, he stared at her
intently.
“Why am I thinking too much? Is it difficult for you to act spoiled with me?”
As he spoke, his fingertips even entwined with Victoria’s dark hair. “What’s there to be shy about when you’re acting spoiled with your own husband?”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either. Furthermore, there was no one else speaking in the elevator at the moment, so his words were clearly heard by those around them. The people around couldn’t help but look
at them.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that there was a handsome couple in the corner. The couple was pleasing
to the eye, and their attire looked affluent.
People were always particularly interested in attractive things, and coupled with Alaric’s words just now, the remaining people in the elevator couldn’t help but look at them.
Some girls even started whispering.
“Wow! They’re actually a married couple. Finally, we’re able to see a combination of a handsome guy and a beautiful girl.”
“Yeah. It’s true that only when a truly handsome guy and a truly beautiful girl are together is it pleasing to the eye. In the past, we always saw beautiful girls with ugly guys and it was truly an eyesore.”
There were various discussions in the elevator.
This is… the company I established by myself?
