However, it was clear that he had deliberately turned down the sound of him tapping the keyboard, so as not to disturb her sleep.
Alice opened his eyes as she twisted the blanket on her body with her fingers and recalled the events of the past few days. It was as if something had happened right and she did not even have time to catch her breath.
The peaceful life that was originally under the heavens seemed to have suddenly been turned upside down.
Vaguely, Alice felt that something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint where it was wrong.
On William's birthday, he found out that she had compromised with the Cullen Family and that something had happened to his father. The whole thing had happened to Brown York and there was a loophole in the N.E.
Once William returned back to his country, he fixed up the loopholes without any rest and apologized to the public. As it involved the loss of users' money, the government authorities also interfered and finally caught a few upper management members of the
N.E.
William solved all of these problems in a short span of three days, and his lightning speed made people look at him in a whole new light.
However, he had lost countless amounts of money in the process.
It was an astronomical figure.
Since the money had evaporated, it didn't matter much to him.
Just when Alice thought that everything had cleared up after the rain, a new wave of rumors started to spread.
William insisted that the spies had not been completely eliminated, so he forced the people below to work overtime. They ate and slept at the company, and the communication equipment were also under strict scrutiny.
The people below secretly called William a tyrant.
Even with such high wages for maintenance, some people could not take it anymore and handed over their resignation one after another. However, once the resignation was passed over, they were met with even more of William's suspicions.
Then, the staff were even more indignant, which made William even more angry.
Such a vicious circle.
Alice couldn't help anything. In order to calm the anger inside N.E., she and Daniel worked hard to improve everyone's eating standards as well as their living conditions. They wouldn't just allow everyone to sleep on cold chairs.
However, such an approach had little effect.
Once, Alice personally gave afternoon tea from upstairs all the way down to the ground floor, making her legs sore from running, but when she turned around to pick something up, she heard someone mocked and ridiculed her.
"The CEO gave me a slap, the CEO's fiancee gave me a sweet. She really knows how to behave."
"I can't stay here any longer either. If it wasn't for the CEO wanting to investigate everything thoroughly, I wouldn't want to stay here any longer."
"Yeah, it's not good for people like us to go to some big companies. In the past, the company was under a lot of pressure, but they could still take a breather. But now, the CEO nearly hanged us right here."
"My wife even suspects that I have an affair. I'm afraid that if I don't go home, my wife will have an affair."
"Hey, don't you think that the CEO is becoming more and more harsh?"
"Not only has he become harsh, he has even become heartless. Hey, tell me, does the CEO not understand the wisdom of the world?" He carries his fiancee with him every day, so he doesn't care about us? It will be the new year in a few days, okay!"
"Stop talking, my dad is in the intensive care unit, I can't even go see him. I only call him once every two days. I don't even know how he's doing right now, wuu, wuu."
Alice squatted and slowly stood up.
Seeing that Alice had not left, everyone was scared stiff. They all kept quiet and lowered their heads to busy themselves at their desks.
The only sounds that could be heard were the clicks of the keyboard and the flipping of documents.
Alice was even more embarrassed than them. With a dejected look in her eyes and without saying a word, she turned and left.
As she turned around, she saw Daniel standing at the turn, and obviously heard it too.
The two of them looked at each other and bitterly smiled.
Alice and Daniel walked in the quiet corridor.Alice turned her ring on her ring finger and said, "Steward Daniel."
"Yes, Miss Alice."
Daniel nodded.
"Let those who have family members with severe injuries or those who are sick go back, don't force them to stay at the company." Alice said in a low voice.
"The Young Master won't allow it."
"But if this goes on, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later." Ever since she knew that William's condition had worsened, it was as if she was hanging in the air, and it was unknown when she would fall down.
"Don't worry Miss Alice, I will personally go to visit those family members."
Daniel thought that she was worried about the staff members' families.
"I'm talking about William." Alice stopped and turned her gaze towards Daniel's benevolent face, "Steward Daniel, you and I are both willing to stay by William's side. No matter what he wants us to do, we will not hesitate at all. But that's not the case in N.E. Everyone earns with a salary. To him, they are only employees and the boss. Even if you're loyal to him, you would be disappointed by his distrust and suspicion."
