Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 17

After she took a glance at Allison, Renata laughed coldly, raised her eyebrows, and walked gleefully out of the room. This time, it would be impossible for Allison to escape but she only had herself to blame for offending her cousin.

She walked along the corridor and then took the lift to the main lobby. She then saw a pot-bellied man hurrying over from afar. As the man approached, he lifted his head and they looked at each other. Both seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other.

As she walked past the man, Renata rejoiced. She had provided the main actress and the lead actor just arrived. What was left was for her was to claim her reward from her cousin.

She waved her left hand happily and admired the ring on her hand while walking out without noticing two men coming towards her.

“Mr. Parker, I still can’t get through to Missus’ phone,” Bernard reported to Alexander anxiously. Alexander’s gaze deepened and he said simply, “Keep trying.”

Allison was promoted by him and he had heard from Bernard about the gossips in the company. Was it because of this that she wasn’t answering her phone?

Alexander was worried and restless when he thought about this. As he was about to instruct Bernard, he saw the woman walking past him with her left hand raised high. He noticed the ring that he was absolutely familiar with and there was no way he could have mistaken it.

Alexander stopped and turned without hesitation and shouted, “Stop right there!”

Renata paused when she heard and turned around in surprise. She remarked nervously when she recognized the man, “Mr…. Mr. Parker?”

Although she was only an intern at the company, she had previously memorized in detail the information of the president. From age to hobbies, she memorized and although she had never met Alexander in person, she had kept copies of magazine articles about him.

She didn’t expect to see him today at that location! Renata couldn’t conceal her excitement and greeted shyly, “Mr. Parker… you…”

Before she could continue, the man interrupted coldly. “How did you get the ring?”

Renata looked at the ring on her hand, panicked, hid her left hand, and said, “This was bought by me, I bought it.”

As she raised her head, she looked directly at Alexander’s cold glare. For reasons unknown, the man’s glare seemed to be able to see through her and that look sent a chill down her spine.

“Really?” Alexander suddenly stepped forward with a menacing stance, causing her to shudder. Renata stepped back half a step and lowered her head guiltily, “Yes…”

Alexander understood immediately Renata’s expression and became unsettled. He had urged Allison that no matter what happened, she should not remove her ring. Now that it appeared on someone else’s hand, then only one situation was possible and that was… something had happened to her!

Alexander’s expression was now aggressive and he sternly asked, “Where is Allison?”

When she heard this name, Renata’s face turned pale and she quickly looked up and shook her head, “I… I don’t know…”

Alexander heard and his gaze deepened. Bernard noticed this and immediately turned around and brought two strong bodyguards over who stood on either side of Renata.

Renata had never been in such a situation and was scared senseless. She panicked and looked at Alexander and stammered, “I… I’ll say. I had lunch with Allison and she wasn’t feeling well. So I sent her to a room to rest. It is room 1807…”

As soon as he heard the room number, Alexander’s expression darkened. He immediately sprinted to the lift without hesitation.

He was very clear that the rooms on floors 10 to 20 of the International Hotel of J City were not the typical rooms. They were themed rooms. If Allison wasn’t feeling well according to Renata, then why didn’t they get an ordinary room?
