My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2118

Chapter 2118

"Alex." Dexter felt a little annoyed. He could only pretend to be strict and alert Alex. "Don't you see that grandpa isn't in a good mood? And yet, you're requesting to stay?"

"It was Uncle Dillon and Uncle Damien who angered grandpa, not us." Alex shrugged as if he had not done anything wrong. He seemed to be questioning why he should leave.

Dexter's face darkened drastically, and he added with an even more stern voice, "Don't speak nonsense."

"Enough. Let's eat," Mr. Riddle Sr. said.

Alex immediately turned happy again. He looked at Nicole blankly. "Nicole, I need your help on a few things."

"What are they?" Nicole was curious. What would Alex want her to teach him?

Alex scratched his head awkwardly. "I've just joined the company, right? But I just graduated not long ago, and I don't have any experience in management. So-"

He has always admired Nicole's abilities, and he respected her a lot. Therefore, he had set Nicole as his target. He wanted to work towards becoming at the same level as Nicole.

"I heard you're doing quite well right now." Nicole curled her lips into a smile. She knew that Alex joined Dexter's

company, and his performance was pretty good.

"But I want to do better." Alex seemed to be waiting for something.

"That's true. He had been saying that you're his inspiration to work harder. Actually, the previous time I mentioned thanking you personally was partly because of Alex as well." Since the conversation had reached this point, Dexter revealed everything.

It was only then that Nicole finally understood why Dexter insisted on thanking her. Initially, she thought that Dexter was being very polite. So, this was the actual reason.
