Chapter 273 Watch the Sunset With Her
Looking at Terrence, who changed his attitude so fast, Edwin chuckled and followed.
Alexa thought that she would just eat with her business partner this noon, but after she entered the room, she saw Terrence at a glance. And the only available seat was beside Terrence.
Alexa glanced at Conley and was to leave.
However, Conley grabbed a chair and placed it next to the empty seat. Then, he invited Alexa to sit down like a gentleman.
Terrence paid attention to the interaction between them. He glanced at Conley coldly.
However, Conley did not take Terrence's displeasure to heart. Instead, he replied with a polite smile.
"Mr. Ramsey, what a coincidence."
"It's not," Terrence replied with a cold face. "I'm just waiting for my wife."
"Your wife?"
Conley pondered over these words, and the smile on his face became brighter.
"I'm sorry. Who is that woman?"
Alexa was immune to their argument. In any case, every time they met, they would not talk to each other for more than three sentences.
After retorting to Conley, Terrence seemed to realize that such a response was childish.
"Do you want to go out for a walk after you are done?" Terrence took the initiative to talk to Conley. "There are many famous tourist attractions in Dallas. You gotta like them."
"I can go by myself. Thank you."
"I happen to be free and can be your free tour guide."
"I don't believe in a free lunch."
Terrence paused and replied with a smile.
"That makes sense."
The lunch went smoothly. Alexa guessed that it was probably because of Terrence's presence.
After some talks with her, her business partners left the private room one after another. In the end, only the three were left.
Terrence glanced at Conley with a fake smile.
"Mr. Riley, why are you still here?"
"Why should I go?" Conley said confidently, "I have to watch the sunset with Alexa."
Terrence's smile froze on his face after he heard this.
Alexa sensed Terrence's gloominess and immediately put down her spoon.
"I have something to do in the afternoon. I'll be leaving.
"Bye, Mr. Ramsey," Conley added.
Terrence did not say a word, and it seemed that something in his heart suddenly shattered.
"Alexa, when you are finished, I will pick you up."
"No need," Alexa said politely. "Just now, I saw that Ms. Figueroa seemed to be in a bad mood. Mr. Ramsey, go and take a look."
Terrence was speechless and didn't know how to reply.
If he had known earlier, he would not have accepted the coffee.
However, Alexa didn't give him the chance to explain. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
After walking out of the private room, Conley said with a serious expression.
"Alexa. Your father's birthday is around the corner. Will you go back?"
"Yes."
After Alexa answered, it took a long time before she added.
"But it is not just because of the birthday, but because I have to go back and receive treatment."
"That soon?"
Conley was quite shocked, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Alexa, your health..."
"I'm fine now," Alexa said calmly. "However, as the effect of the medicine gradually fades away, I need special treatment every year.
It's similar to dialysis."
"Has Keyon not developed a special medicine yet?"
Alexa shook her head, her eyes full of relief.
"In fact, there were a lot of treatment plans, but because of my
physique, there is currently no medicine that works well."
"You will be fine." Conley held her hand, and his warmth gave her faith. "Nothing will happen to you. We'll go through this together."
"Alright."
Alexa nodded with relief, and her heart gradually filled with warmth.
Her previous life had always been lonely.
She didn't know when it started, but her life gradually changed.
There was warmth...
So many people were in the world, but now, she had a mutual concern with another person.
"When are you going back?"
"After New Year's Eve."
"Then... when are you coming back?" Conley smiled gently. "I'll pick you up."
"I'm not sure. After all, treatment is full of risks." In other words, it was likely that a bad situation would happen.
"Don't think too much. Everything will get better and better."
After leaving the hotel, Alexa made time to attend a video conference.
There was a lot of time left. In fact, she wanted to hang out.
However, she had not been with Damarion for a long time. Alexa wanted to go back and hug the boy.
However, just as she walked out of the door, a bouquet of red roses appeared in front of her eyes.
Terrence propped one hand on the door frame and looked down at her with a warm smile.
"Looks like you're done with your work."
Alexa was startled by him. After a moment, she did not intend to take the flowers.
"What are you doing?"
"The flowers are for you. I hope they can bring you joy."
After saying that, Terrence gave a meticulous plan for the day.
"It happens that today is a good day, so I made a good sightseeing plan."
Perfect. How over-confident he was.
"Can I see it as you asking me out?"
"Yes."
