Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 21

After boiling the pork ribs for a whole two hours, a nutritious and mouth-watering pork rib soup was done. Allison poured the soup into a thermos flask before heading out.

Before she left the house, she studied herself in the mirror. Suddenly, she was stuck by uncertainty.

If she were to appear in the company looking like this, there would be numerous colleagues who would no doubt recognize her. Her entrance and exit into and out of the president’s office would certainly stir up some suspicion.

After some deliberation, she decided to change into a casual sportswear besides wearing a cap and a mask. Then, she could finally depart to the company.

When Alexander had sent her last time, he led her through an exclusive pathway reserved only for him before entering the president’s office. This time, she also took the exclusive elevator which led her to the president’s office directly.

When she got off the elevator, Allison was feeling happy for herself for hatching this brilliant idea. However, before she could go further, she was being stopped by someone.

“Who are you? Do you know where you are now? Food delivery can’t get through here!”

A woman who looked like a secretary was blocking Allison’s way. She had a good-looking face but her raised brows showed an expression of indifference and arrogance towards Allison.

Allison was stunned for one moment and that woman continued, “Whose food delivery is it? Leave it here and exit this place!”

Food delivery?

Allison looked downwards at her attire and the food box carried by her. She indeed couldn’t explain herself well looking like this.

That woman couldn’t get any response from Allison which caused her expression to become hideous, “Do you hear me? I’m asking you to get out. This is not a place someone like you can just come in!”

Allison’s gaze fell on the name tag on her chest. She spelled out her name, “Lillian, your attitude is a little…”

“My attitude? You’re just delivering food, what kind of attitude are you expecting me to show you?”

Lillian rolled her eyes as she was about to snatch the food box from her hands, “Give me the food, and get lost!”

Allison staggered backwards, and just as she was stuck in a dilemma, a familiar voice sounded nearby.

“Yes, just follow the proposal submitted by Group A. Give me the full plan in three days.”

Allison searched the source of that voice, and she saw Alexander walking in her direction while being accompanied by several others.

Alexander looked in this direction coincidentally and their eyes met for a moment. He immediately averted his gaze as if nothing of interest had captured his attention.

Lillian saw Alexander and her eyes lit up. She moved forward and said, “President Parker, I have already placed the documents that you have requested in your office.”

“Alright.”

Alexander mumbled a faint reply as he brushed past her. His gaze was locked on Allison.

Allison was wearing a cap and a mask at the moment, and her whole body was covered up entirely by clothes. Only her two eyes were exposed. She felt cold sweat breaking out on her back as she was being stared by him.

Lillian noticed that Alexander had discovered Allison, so she quickly sneaked a glance at Allison before explaining, “President Parker, she’s a food delivery person from god knows where and she is insisting to enter into this place. This must be the negligence of the receptionist downstairs that has allowed her to sneak up here. I will ask her to leave now…”

“There’s no need to do that.” Alexander interjected, “Let her in.”

“Huh?” Lillian’s face was that of disbelief. She was wondering whether she was hearing things.

“I said, let her in.”

Alexander repeated himself before marching in the direction of his office.

Lillian froze momentarily while gaping at Alexander who was disappearing into his office before turning her gaze onto Allison. She said with resignation, “Why didn’t you inform earlier that you’re delivering food to the president? Go in now!”

Allison didn’t give her any response. Her hand gripped hard on the food box while she lowered her head and walked in the direction of his office.

Alexander must have recognized her. While she was looking inconspicuous and she might be able to fool others, this didn’t work on him.

She carefully entered the office. Before she could look upwards, she heard his abrupt commanding voice, “Shut the door.”

“Oh.” Allison turned around to close the door before finally removing her mask. Her heart started to race for no reason at all.
