Chapter 317: It Seems Like Yesterday
The front desk got a call from York.
“All right.””
He hung up the phone and went to Alva. “Miss Gellar, Boss Irwin wants you up there.”
Alva paused and nodded. “Thank you.”
Looking at Vicky. “Let’s go.”
Vicky had a twinkle in her eye that I knew she had.
Without saying a word, Alva gets up and walks into the elevator, followed by Vicky.
Alva pressed a button on the top floor and looked at the walls.
There was a faraway look in her eyes.
This was not her first visit to this place.
The year she got married, she came to the office to deliver Uriah’s meals.
It’s the same elevator she took at the time.
Looking back now, it seems like everything happened yesterday.
Vicky sees Alva pressing the button in a familiar way, blinks and looks at Alva.
Her normally clear, earnest eyes were tinged with a trance, a memory she had
never seen before.
Vicky turns her head.
She thought Alva loved Uriah.
It was just a feeling.
The elevator opened quickly, and Alva stepped out and walked directly to the executive room.
Even though she hadn’t been here for two years, she was familiar with the place again.
Familiar design, familiar pattern, familiar atmosphere.
She thought she had forgotten, but she had not.
She remembers it well.
Even a small detail.
Alva clenched her hand.
Vicky follows Alva and soon the two are in the studio.
The secretary was nearby, surprised to see Alva.
Alva didn’t look at her, just knocked on the door.
After waiting about two seconds, there was a low voice, “In.”
Alva curled her fingertips, opened the door and entered.
Before Vicky could hear the heavy, cold sound, the door of the general office opened.
She froze, and before she knew it, Alva was inside.
Her heart jumped and she hurried in, her whole body tense.
She felt as if she had entered a place where everyone was afraid to make a mistake.
Because there’s a very scary person sitting in there.
You can’t fight him.
Alva walked in and her eyes fell squarely on Uriah behind the desk.
The moment she looked at Uriah, the man reading the document raised his eyes and met hers.
Dark eyes, deep, dark.
Those eyes never know.
And always dangerous.
Alva clenched her hands and her eyes grew cold.
204 Vouchers.
“Vicky said you bought her father’s company because of me, and she sent me to you to try and stop you buying her father’s company.”
I don’t know if this hope is Vicky’s hope or her hope.
But either way, she made it clear.
She came to him because of Vicky.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come.
Vicky looks at Uriah, her eyes dark with fear.
