Zayden tensed up and frowned. He had never experienced something like this.
However, somehow she gave Zayden an intense feeling of familiarity but they had never met before. Although she was lying on top of him, he was a neat freak. But for some unknown reason, he didn’t push her away.
Alice come back to her senses and quickly got up. “I am sorry… I am sorry! I am about to be late for the interview, and didn’t see the ball and… I am sorry!”
Alice finished speaking and stood up and looked at him. Wearing a well-tailored business suit, Zayden looked tall and handsome.
“Miss, So you are here to flirt with Mr, Collins.” Henry looked at Alice and said.
Hearing this, Alice was dumbfounded. At the same time, Zayden's eyes also turned cold.
Over the years, countless women had tried to climb onto his bed. However, after that night five years ago, he was not interested in any woman. The only woman that he had slept with was his son’s birth mother.
When Zayden realized that Alice was trying to get his attention, his eyes turned cold.
Alice was upset, “I said that I was in a hurry. What are you accusing me of?”
However, Zayden still seems to didn’t believe her and looked at her mockingly. Alice saw this and became quite angry. However, she didn’t want to argue with them because she was already getting late.
As she left she mumbled, “Just beautiful face and no brain. Did he think just because he had a good face everyone wants to throw herself at him?”
As she said, she went to the elevator.
Henry was shocked by her words. How dare she scold boss? He thought in his heart.
Zayden hear her words and his face was filled with coldness. Henry saw this and said, “I asked the security to throw her away.”
“No!” Zayden said and tied up her suit.
As he tidied up his suit, his eyes fell on the small earring hanging in his coat. He took it out and looked at it. "It must be from that woman." He thought.
He couldn’t help thinking about what the woman said. Somehow, he found her interesting. Zayden didn’t throw the earring away and put it in her coat pocket. After some thought, he said, “Call Noah and tell him that I will attend the interview at 10. AM.”
Zayden narrowed his eyes and wanted to see how would she react when she saw him in the interview.

Alice arrived at the waiting room and was shocked to see so many people.
As she was waiting she heard the gossip between two females. “Hey, do you know that Mr. Collins will be attending the interview today?”
“Wow? I heard that Mr. Collins has a son but he is still single. He is also very handsome. Could he be looking for a stepmother for his son?”
“Maybe. I heard that he might have trouble in bed… Otherwise, how come he never had a steady girlfriend? Maybe they despised his inability too…”
After finishing gossiping the female interviewees still hoped to join the wealthy family more than anything else.
Alice rolled her eyes when she heard them gossiping. She thought, “A typical boss would be around his mid-thirties and with a beer belly. Would someone so wealthy use an interview to find a stepmother for his child? Maybe he was looking for a lover.”
Alice began to think poorly about her new boss.
“Alice Brown.”
“Here!”
Alice walked out of the crowd when her name was called.
She tidied up her clothes and took a deep breath before opening the door.
There were five interviewers on the panel. However, Alice's eyes set on the man sitting in the middle and her eyes almost fall out of her sockets.
Didn’t he the same man which she bumped in the lobby. She thought.
“What kind of bad luck do I have?” She murmured in a small voice.
It seems that this man is superior to other interviewers. Is he the Manger, General Manager, or…
Seemingly having noticed her anxiety. Zayden looked at Alice, and asked, “Did you graduate from Delight High School?”“No… Not really. I am a dropout.” Alice composed herself and replied.Alice claimed that she had graduated from Delight High School in her resume so that she could make it to the interview stage. She needed this job very much, so she used this method to come for the interview.The other interviewer was surprised. “You mean that your resume is fake?”He quickly apologized to Zayden, “Mr. Collins, I am sorry, our background checks…”Zayden gestured for him to keep quiet. He then looked at Alice and asked sternly, “So, you are trying to get a job solely based on your experience working in Hotel Milan in France?”“Have you seen the job requirements?”He tossed her resume and saw through her lies. She then heard Zayden say, “Don’t try your schemes here. No company would want a liar like you!”Alice was about to leave, but after hearing his words, she stopped. She was pissed
Alice hear her daughter's words and was amused, as she chuckled, “Why did you say that?”“Because…. I think daddy don’t loves mommy.” Eliana continued. “Other daddies kiss their children every day and play with them. But my daddy visits us only once or twice a year each time. He just says a few words and then leaves. He doesn’t even hug you. He doesn’t love me. I don’t want this Daddy anymore.”Alice's heart sank.She did not dare to tell Eliana the truth for fear that it would come as a terrible blow to her. So, Alice asked someone to help her out and pretend to be Eliana’s father.She did not expect Eliana to be so intelligent and considerate.Eliana continued, “Mommy, don’t think that I will be upset by a divorce. Why don’t you look for another man? As long as he loves you, I will also be able to accept him! If he has children, I will get along with them as well.”“Silly girl.”Alice’s eyes turned red on hearing that, “Other than you, Mommy doesn’t need anyone!”“But I want a broth
Alice found this chuckle very familiar.Straightening her back and looking up, Alice met with Zayden’s cold eyes.She tilted her head and complained in her heart, “What the heck? How the hell did I bump into him, no matter where I went? He must be thinking that I am a shameless woman who would do anything to throw herself at him. But I am not.”Ruby asked, “Alice are you alright?”Instead of answering her, Alice clenched her fists tightly. She thought, “Do you enjoy the show, Ruby? You have been very sarcastic to me since we entered the elevator. Alice know that she was here to cause trouble for her. If she find out Alice didn’t have a boyfriend, she would be even more delighted. However, Alice didn’t want to give in to her so easily…Alice was already pissed off by her and started to think of a way out.Speaking of boyfriend…The next moment, Alice held Zayden's arm tightly and leaned against his shoulder. She felt that his body suddenly become tense. However, she ignored it and pret
Alice swiftly dodged it and the glass smashed behind her. She had never seen a kid as unruly as this one. Alice frowned angrily, however… when she looked at the boy’s face, her anger dissipated.The kid sat behind the wall made up of pillows and bedding, like a little prince. He looked adorable. However, at this moment, he looked very upset.“What’s wrong, buddy? Did anyone bully you?” Alice took a couple of steps and squatted down and asked.Max looked at her with a hint of puzzlement flashing in his eyes. And then, he pushed her hand away, acting like he didn’t want to interact with Alice.Seeing this, Alice avoids touching him. She just quietly on the floor with him. Soon someone knocked on the door and said, “Miss Brown, the soup and pancakes you ordered are ready. Do you need us to send them in?”“No need.” Alice said, “Just leave them outside.”At the same time, the fragrance of the pancakes drifted into the room. Max did not speak but occasionally looked at Alice. He also swall
“Little master!”“Miss Brown!”With the sharp clank of the broken chandelier, the hotel staff yelled frantically.At that time the broken pieces of the chandelier were scattered everywhere in the living room. Alice held Max tightly in her arms and protected him with her body. Yet, her arm was crashed under the chandelier and blood splashed everywhere, looking quite terrifying. Due to the intense pain, Alice fainted on the spot.However, just before Alice passed out she seemed to hear Max utter faintly, “Mommy!”Meanwhile, the rest panicked!“Call the ambulance! Hurry up!”“But little mater refused to let Miss Brown go! What should we do?”“We can’t just leave him here! Just let him go to the hospital together.”“Okay. Call Mr. Collins.”****Meanwhile, at the Snow Private Club, Zayden had just signed a business contract and was waiting for Henry to say goodbye to guests and walked them out first. He enjoyed a cup o coffee in the private room while he was waiting. This was a regular oc
“I don’t plan to get married for the time being,” After thinking for a while, Zayden answered coldly.Hearing his answer, the hope that Jessica had just gathered died down. She then said, “It’s getting late. I should leave now.”Later. Jessica walked out of the villa and entered a car unhappily. As soon as she fastened her seat belt, Jessica ordered, “Drive.”After the car left the high-end villa complex, the driver said, “Miss everything went as planned until the hotel manager ruined it.”“It’s okay.” Jessica put on a sinister smile and said, “It would be worse if the boy was killed. It’s better this way. Zayden would be more worried and take marrying me more seriously in this way.”“Then the kid…”“Don’t do anything to him for now. There will be other opportunities,” Jessica said dismissively as she was looking at her newly manicured nails. Then she ordered, “Tell Henry that I will go visit Max these days. Prepare some things that kids like more.”“Yes, Miss.”****In the hospital.
Eliana started to run excitedly toward the cafe. She was smiling happily.A stretched Bentley stopped in front of the cafe and an old man got out of the car with an assistant.“Sir, this way.” His assistant who was standing beside him, said respectfully.The old man looked around, frowned, and said. ”Look at me now what I am doing? I have never thought that one day I would go on a blind date for my grandson at such age. Why can’t we get someone to impersonate him. Once we find a right girl for him, we will discuss the marriage details.”“Sir, I don’t this it’s a good idea. So many people in Rose city recognize Zayden. No on would believe that he was seeing someone when we put his profile on the dating app. Even if who would believe, they had think that it’s a scam. So, I think it was better to pick the women in person.”“You are right.” The old man sighed and said, “Forget it! I will do it for my grandson and great-grandson sake. Oh yes, don’t forget to order ice-cream.” After the old
In the following days, Eliana kept using the excuse of buying ice cream to leave the house and secretly meet old Master Collins. Each time she returned home, her bag would be full of gifts.One day, when Alice was cleaning up the house, she noticed the new toys that Eliana bought home and asked, “When did you get this little mermaid bracelet?”Eliana was arranging her toys and she said nonchalantly, “It came with ice-cream.”Alice frowned and asked, “They are giving toys with ice-cream?”“Yes, the staff in the cafe all think I am cute. So, they gave me extra gifts.” Eliana replied with a smug smile.Alice was suspicious at first. But then she thought that Elly was a good kid and those were only some toys, she perished her doubts.“Oh, get ready, Elly, I will take you to the kindergarten nearby to have a look this afternoon. See which one you like and I will register you.”Frowning, Eliana asked in puzzlement. “But I have made some new friends in the kindergarten. Mommy, why we have to
