Chapter 5

Bucky frowned, thinking of the man who had just handed Alina a tissue.

His eyes darkened, he opened the car door, and said: "What's the matter?"

"We're here anyway, aren't you going to drink anything?"

The answer he received was Bucky's merciless refusal.

Standing on the side of the road, Quetzal raised his eyebrows and glanced at the black car that was speeding away.

Or did Bucky drive to the bathroom? If he said these words, he wasn't sure if Bucky himself would believe it.

It sounded interesting.

Looking at his figure getting smaller and smaller, just like his ex-wife Alina, he no longer felt anything.

Quetzal snorted lightly, intending to turn back to find Alina, but after thinking for a while, he stopped. Alina didn't seem to want to see him very much at the moment.

However, Bucky deeply regretted his trip. Quetzal had stirred up his emotions both inside and out; it was just that he felt that he had feelings for Alina.

Feelings?

When he chose Alina, it was just an accident that night, and it was also a good thing that he found a wife.

But the three-year marriage didn't move him at all?

Not thinking of the gentleman standing next to Alina, this made Bucky feel a little irritable.

He stopped the car on the side of the road, opened the window, put his hand on the door, bowed his head, and lit a cigarette.

The man's face was as cold as the moonlight in the smoke.

They were divorced, what did that have to do with Alina having a boyfriend?

He brought this on himself.

Bucky put out his cigarette, then started the car and headed home.

Last night she drank some wine, so she took a taxi home.

Early in the morning, the phone rang; it was Ingrid.

"What's the matter?"

It wasn't even 8 o'clock yet, and Ingrid loved this life too much.

"Alina, you're famous. Our performance video last night has been posted online, now the trending search on the internet is all 'drum goddess', netizens are eagerly waiting for you to debut, my goddess has finally shone."

She walked to the window, reached out to pull the curtains, heard Ingrid's words, she frowned slightly, a little doubtful: "Doesn't the word 'finally' sound right?"

On the other end of the line, Ingrid was extremely excited, suddenly became a little surprised: "Oh right, sorry, I forgot that you've been hot for a long time."

Although her words were a bit narcissistic, there was also a reason for her narcissism.  In her first year of college, she only posted photos on social media, and many entertainment companies came to find her, but she didn't meet them, and flatly refused. 

So many years ago, now that the internet is so popular, the two words 'finally' are not good. 

"We have to be humble and patient." 

She laughed, then went to the bathroom to take care of her hygiene. 

Ingrid complained: "Patience, patience, you were bullied by the Ethelred family because of the two words 'patience'." 

She was the daughter of the Rojas family, but she had to marry into the Ethelred family like a normal person. The result was hard to imagine, but it turned out to be like this. 

She was squeezing toothpaste, and suddenly stopped: "Stop talking, I have to brush my teeth and wash my face, anyway, I'm back to Alina now, going back and forth also makes quite a bit of money." 

"Yes, yes, yes. I won't bother you to make money anymore, I'll hang up." 

 Turning off the phone, she started brushing her teeth.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her face a little lifeless.

At first, she didn't mean to hide her identity and marry the son of the Ethelred family. She loved him. That was enough. But she didn't expect that after the accident, Bucky would mention wanting to marry her. She knew he did it just to repay her for taking care of him during the time he was in the hospital.

After that, she wanted to tell him many times about her real family background, but Bucky always said that he didn't care, then hung up directly.

It was also later, when she accidentally heard Eloise complaining to Guinevere about her sister-in-law's poor circumstances, not worthy of her brother, then, at Eloise's birthday party, she heard the ridicule of her friends, she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

She wanted to see if Bucky didn't care about her circumstances.

 Only later did she discover that he didn't care, didn't care about her family situation, and even less about whether she was happy or not.

For everything about her, he didn't care about anything.

How ridiculous.

The automatic toothbrush in her hand suddenly stopped, she regained her composure, took back all her thoughts just now, and washed her gloomy face.

The chicken and mushroom porridge that had been simmering in the pressure cooker since last night now filled the kitchen with a fragrant aroma.

No one would have thought that a young girl like her would become such a comprehensive nanny after marrying Bucky.

That wasn't necessarily a bad thing; after all, she could improve her cooking skills.

Well, eating porridge that she cooked herself in the morning was already a very happy thing.

However, this morning, Eloise was so angry that she went crazy.

She had been missing for years without any news, and suddenly appeared again. Who would have thought that she would be so hot as soon as she returned, and she was even called a goddess?

She thought that she should be a crazy goddess.

Eloise herself had hated her so much over the years, so she picked up the phone and called.

Goddess?

She wanted to see if they were still praising Alina as a goddess.

---

Alina had a meeting this morning, and it was already more than 11 o'clock after the meeting.

She was directly ordered by the CEO to come here, and as soon as she arrived at the company, she became the CEO's official spokesperson. She had only been working here for a few days, but the employees of this Circuit Group had already compiled 13 'scripts' for her.

Among them, the most convincing scenario is that she is the mistress of some high-ranking leader, because no one can investigate how she spent her four years in college, and now she can enter this place with such a high position, those four empty years, just looking at it, people immediately think that she is a "canary" raised by others.

Although she is the owner of the Circuit Group, most of the capital is from her family, so it can be said that the Circuit Group is a subsidiary of the Rojas Group - her family's company. The two companies have decided to merge.

She does not want to reveal her identity for the time being; the people here only know that she is the daughter of a rich young lady in the group, and the person sent down to work with her is none other than Caitlyn.

That's right, even General Manager Philomena does not know.

Philomena thought more deeply than the other employees, the headquarters suddenly sent a young girl, holding such a high position, only second to his position, "below one person and above ten thousand people", for someone with many years of experience, his first thought was that the company wanted her to replace his position.

In other words, Alina had just arrived here and was stuck between the two sides. It was also difficult; otherwise Philomena would not have invited her to dinner last night.
