“... Relationship?” Alice felt headache hearing that. She stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows. Thinking of what happened these days, Alice opened her mouth.
“Well, it is not safe at home these days. And I can feel relieved that you are with Jack. By the way, does my brother suspect anything?”
“Probably not. I think he's all right, or probably I dare not observe him, so I don't know if he knows anything, but I think it must have been all right if he hadn't asked you.”
“Yeah.”
The two talked for a while before Alice hung up.
She was helpless that Yanis did not go home, but she could only accept it.

The next day
Alice felt much better after she woke up, it was true that sleeping was the best medicine to illness.
She washed her face and changed clothes as usual, and went downstairs after putting makeup on.
She made her own breakfast and planned to eat it when she went to work, but when she finished, she realized she had made an extra breakfast.
Alice looked at the extra breakfast in front of her, suddenly thought of a beautiful face.
She snapped back and shook her head.
No, why would she subconsciously make breakfast for Kennedy?
She tried to turn him down, didn't she?
Finally, Alice went out carrying double breakfast, locked the door and stood at the door waiting for elevator. She stared at the elevator’s keys, as it went up, she felt nervous.
She bit her lower lip and vexed at her feeling now.
She was expecting Kennedy to open the door and come out.
After realizing that she had that expectation, Alice looked awkward, so she wished the elevator went faster, she could get into the elevator before Kennedy went out
Otherwise she would not know how to face him now.
The elevator finally opened at she expected. Alice walked quickly in, afraid that the next second Kennedy would come out of the house.
She looked at the door slowly closing. When she was alone in the elevator, she took a breath of relief but she felt disappointed.
She put her hand over her heart, tired of such feeling.
She should be calm, even if she could not, she shouldn't have that thought. From the moment she planned to return home, she had decided to bottle up all her emotions.
But to her surprise...
It did not work.
As the elevator went down smoothly, no one came in, and she was alone all the time.
Smoothly she arrived at the first floor. Alice took a deep breath, adjusted her mood and smiled.
She had two sandwiches for breakfast. She was going to give one to Yanis instead of Kennedy.
Alice, with a smile on her face, stepped on her high heels to get out of the elevator, but she was stunned when she saw the person outside.
It was Kennedy gnashing for air at the door.
He stepped into the elevator and clasped her wrist. “Are you all right?” he asked anxiously.
Alice, “... What, what is going on?”
Kennedy narrowed his eyes, looked at her from head to toe. After making sure she was safe, he pulled her out of the elevator.
