Thinking of this, Miya looks at Alex again. Alex also has that sense of superiority at the beginning. Although he has changed now, when thinking of it, she is still a little uncomfortable.
"Honey, I just leave for a little while and I will go back soon. Are you reluctant to let me go?" Alex's sweet words start again.
"You seem to have misunderstood something." Miya feels speechless. "Forget it, you should go quickly."
After that, Alex goes out.
He follows Alice and meets Augus in the parlor.
"Alex, long time no see, you have changed little!"
Augus laughs as soon as he sees Alex. He looks like a kind father who hasn’t met his son for a long time.
But Alex has no expressions. Augus seems to be getting old and gaunt.
Originally, Augus, in his fifties, has a good health and black hair. But now, he is a hunchback, and has no energy. His hair is now completely white.
They haven't seen each other for about three months. What happens to him in these three months?
After feeling Alex's gaze, Augus laughs. He says, "I am old! I know I am wrong."
"So are you prepared to apologize today?" Unlike Augus, Alex's eyes have always been cold.
"No, I want you to go back to Alex Group." August speaks out his purpose.
Alex hears Augus’s request which probably is not a good thing. “If I go back to Alex Group, will I still be the president?”
Augus is stunned. "Don't you think that the president is too busy before, so you don't want to be?"
"Have I said that?" He is extremely tired at work over the years, but he never complains about it.
"When you are seventeen... You often tell me that you don't want to inherit our family’s business." Augus wants to talk about it confidently, but he fails.However, his guilty conscience is right.
Alex listens to Augus's words and feels ironic. He has been in the business since he is a kid, and he has experienced hardships, which is at least ten years ago, but Augus announces it till today. At that time, he forces him to enter Alex Group and gives him a lot of tasks, and he does not feel guilty until now?
Or, does he think he is important? If so, he will not be so easily driven out of the Alex Group.
"If I go to Alex Group, will I be the president?" Alex asks.
"I think you have been president for a long time, and the president is busy, you have so many children, and your wife is still pregnant, so you shouldn't be overworked." Augus seems to be for the sake of Alex.
But Alex feels it disgusting. And he even says that Miya is still pregnant? Alex thinks that parents like Augus are really unqualified, and they don't even know that they have a granddaughter.
In fact, Miya has asked Aileen to invite her parents to the one-month-old party. When she returns, she says.
"My mother thinks that she will be embarrassed when seeing Miya, so she won't come, and our father... he hasn't been home for more than a month."
He thinks of how angry and sad Aileen is when talking about this, so he looks at Augus expressionlessly.
