Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Kate Is Looking For Alex 

The next day, Alex took a taxi to the company while Heather sent Stanley to school in the RS7. 

“Mr. Jefferson, Kate Sutton was here again earlier. I told her you wouldn’t be coming in to work these few days, so she left.” Jessica came over to report. 

Alex nodded and could not help admiring Kate. She had only just injured her leg the day before, yet she was already back at work today. 

What a stubborn woman. 

“Ignore her,” he said to Jessica before flipping through the files she had handed to him. 

Knock knock! 

Just then, the sound of knocking came from the other side of the door. Kate’s voice rang out, “Director, I have to talk to you urgently. May I come in?” 

Jessica froze in surprise before glancing between the office door and Alex. “Sir, Kate Sutton’s here again.” 

Shaking his head in exasperation, he uttered, “You can leave now. Let her in.” 

Kate must have seen me coming into my office. There’s no way I can lie about not being here now. 

Whatever the case, he was certain that she had not seen his face. He could use this opportunity to see what she knew. 

“Alright.” With that, his secretary left. 

Upon seeing Jessica exit the office, Kate shot her an awkward smile. “I really need to talk to the Chairman…” 

Jessica stared at her for a moment before replying, “The Chairman has given you permission to enter.” 

Right before Kate was about to push open the door and enter, the secretary added sternly, “By the way, the Chairman really doesn’t like this behavior of yours. Think about that.” 

Kate blinked but did not say anything in return. She merely continued her way into the office. 

The injury to her leg was not yet completely healed, so her movements were rather slow. 

However, the medicine Alex had given her was working wonderfully. She was recovering faster than if she went to get stitches at the hospital. 

She shut the door carefully as her heart pounded wildly in her chest. 

It had been quite a while since she first came to Nebula City. Today, she would finally be able to meet the disowned son of the Jefferson family. 

The only reason she had come all the way over to Nebula City to work at Four Seas Corporation was for one single mission to get closer to the disowned son of the Jefferson family. 

For the sake of her family’s rise to power, she was even willing to sacrifice herself. 

The first thing she saw upon entering the office was a broad and muscular back. The man was standing in 

front of the floor–to–ceiling windows with his back turned toward her. 

Why does this figure look so familiar? 

When she remembered where she had seen him before, her heart leapt in her chest. She forgot to say a greeting. 

Ever since the incident from the night before, this figure had been imprinted in her mind. She would never forget his back. 

It’s my superhero! My knight in shining armor! 

“Why were you looking for me?” Alex turned around to face the stunned Kate. 

“My superhero!” 

When she saw the masked face of Alex, joy and excitement shone in her eyes. 

For the past two days, she had been constantly thinking about when she would be able to see her superhero again. It had gotten so bad that she began having a minor case of insomnia. 

To her surprise, her superhero was the chairman she had been dying to meet! 

“What did you just say?” Confusion was evident in his voice. 

Realizing what she had just blurted out, she smiled in embarrassment. “Mr. Jefferson, thank you for the day before. If it weren’t for you, I shudder to imagine what would have happened to me.” 

She already knew that the chairman and Alex both had the same name. 

“It’s nothing. I would do the same for anyone else in that situation,” Alex answered indifferently. 

While it was the truth, Kate still felt inexplicably disappointed. 

But when she thought about how Alex had nearly seen her completely naked the other day, her heart. began to race again. 

At the same time, she was glad that her superhero was Mr. Jefferson. Otherwise, it would be very weird for her to be pining for the former while she was together with the latter. 

“Mr. Jefferson, I would like to treat you to dinner as a token of my gratitude. I hope you won’t reject my offer, or else I’ll feel indebted to you for life.” She stared at him hopefully.

As long as he agreed to eat with her, she would get the chance to glimpse his true face. 

Alex’s voice was neutral as he stated politely, “There’s no need for that. You working hard is the biggest expression of gratitude you can give me.” 

Not willing to give up just yet, she tried again, “Mr. Jefferson- ” 

“That’s enough. If there’s nothing else, please leave. I need to get back to work.” He cut her off and waved his hand at her impatiently in an obvious gesture of dismissal. 

She opened her mouth to say something more, but when she saw that he had sat down and was focusing on his documents again, she gave up. 

Still, she gave it one last go. “Mr. Jefferson, could I at least get your contact number?” 

“Do you have my driver’s number?” Alex raised his head to ask. 

“Yes,” 

“Then that’s good enough. Call him if there’s anything. He’ll pass on the message to me.”
