Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 15

“It’s okay.” Allison’s concentration was all on the ring and she did not notice Renata’s change. “Alice, you’ve gotten married? When did that happen?” Renata tilted her head and asked due to curiosity. During her internship in the company, she had had a basic understanding about everyone in the department. Allison was always single before and she did not have any boyfriend. Now that she had suddenly worn a wedding ring, she was feeling weird.

Allison also knew what happened to her was weird, yet she could not possibly tell the truth. Plus, even if she did say she had had a blind date with the Mr. President of the Parker Group and was chosen by him, nobody would have believed her. After a moment of thought, she gave a short reply. “I met my partner through a blind date, which happened only two days ago.” She then lowered her head and continued diving into her work. Seeing Allison did not speak any further, Renata no longer asked anything.

When around twenty minutes had passed, Allison finally completed her work for the transition process. She printed out the documents and passed them to Renata. “Thank you, Alice.” Renata held the documents in her arms and said sweetly. She glanced at the time and realized it was already lunch time. She then said to Allison, “Alice, I still have something that I’m not familiar with. How about this, we could have lunch together and you could explain it to me one more time.” Afraid that Allison would refuse, she then said, “I’m so scared I’ll make a mistake. If so I won’t be able to complete my internship.” She frowned and stared at Allison with a pitiful look. Allison did not have the reason to reject her when she saw that, she then agreed to her request.

They then arrived at the International Hotel of City J. “Renata, are we having lunch here?” The International Hotel was the hotel with the highest standard in the whole City J, no matter the furnishing or the food. It was not a place where ordinary people could randomly enter. Renata was leading the way in front of her; hearing her words, she turned around and held her arms while saying with a smile, “Yes. I’ve booked a suite just now.”

“But, won’t it be too expensive?” Allison still felt slightly inappropriate. They were just having a meal, should they be that lavish? “Alice, I want to thank you for the care you always gave me. Plus, I’ve already booked it, it would be a waste of money if we don’t eat there.” As she spoke, she unconsciously tightened her grasp on Allison’s wrist, as if she was afraid she would run away. Allison’s attention was all on how much it would cost on the meal and she did not notice Renata’s little action at all. Seeing Allison no longer spoke, Renata quickly dragged her inside.
