Alice put the phone back, after a moment, she smiled, “But how do you recognize me?”
That receptionist gave a sweet smile, “Mr. Nelson has sent your photo to me and told me to remember you. This way, please, Miss Alice.”
It explained the matter.
Her brother was so good. Alice felt warm in hear, nodded and followed the receptionist.
At the destination, Alice thanked her, and then went directly to Find Zain.
When she knocked on the office door, a steady voice came from inside.
“Come in.”
Alice opened the door, only to see Zain sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding coffee with one hand and flipping through the document with the other
Zain wore a gold frame glasses today, looking very gentle.
Alice stood there. Zain realized that it was quiet, so he looked at her.
“Alice? Why are you here?”
Seeing Alice, Zain was not clam, put down the cup and came to her.
Alice came back to her senser, looked at him walking close to her. There were thousands of questions, she wanted to ask directly, but felt it was deliberate.
So she smiled and said, “I have never been to your company, so I came to see you.”
She was smiling, but Zain was her brother, how could he not understand his sister? Seeing that she gave a fake smile, he said nothing, but told the secretary outside to send drinks in, and then came back to her.
“Not busy? Why do you have time to come here?”
Alice did not sit down, but aimlessly walked around, and then stopped in the French window, looking at the city's brilliance.
It was already dusk. The sunset was not in the distance, the whole sky was red, unrealistic gorgeous.
“Brother, is there something you haven't told me?”
Zain paused. There was surprise in his eyes. After a moment, he went to Alice side by side with her.
“Silly girl, what did I not tell you?” With that, Zain stretched out his hand to rub Alice’s head and said in a doting tone.
Why did she ask such a question?
“What's the matter?” Seeing that she did not speak, Zain asked.
Alice blinked eyes, finally turned to Zain, took a deep breath before she asked, “Why did you not tell me Kennedy and I are still married?”
The next second, Zain stopped rubbing her head.
Time seemed to be fixed. Zain fixed his eyes at her, Alice also stood quietly, but there were sadness in her eyes which was to come out any at moment.
After a long time, Zain took his hand back.
“Have you seen him?”
He did not say yes or no.
Alice felt her heart slowly sinking, it seemed it was true.
“Is it true?” She asked.
Zain didn't answer, but looked at her coldly, and then he looked away.
“Not that I didn't tell you, but I've been trying to solve the problem, and I did not expect you'd see each other again.”
Hearing that, Alice finally understood that Zain knew it but he had never told her.
And she thought that she had divorced and has nothing to do with Kennedy.
