Alice's POV

Tea?"They surrounded her like she was a celebrity, all smiling and bowing and trying to impress her. While I was completely invisible to them.Lucy glanced at me again with a smug smile on her face.

    Alice's POVI stood in front of the tall glass building, looking up at the shiny letters that spelled the company’s name. My heart was beating so fast I could hear it in my ears. I took a deep breath and started walking toward the entrance when suddenly a loud engine sound made me jump and spin around.A bright red sports car came to a stop right in front of the building. The door opened upward like a wing, and out stepped a pair of long legs in high heels.My mouth parted in awe as I saw a beautiful woman with long black hair styled in curls and a tight designer dress that showed off her figure stepped out of the car. She looked like someone who walked straight out of a magazine.The woman tossed her car keys to the valet without even looking at him. "Take care of i

I promise I'll be the best wife I can be for you in public. I'll learn everything I need to know. But I also really want to work."I took a breath, trying to explain. “You’ve done a lot for me. I want to repay you by helping you with your work as well, if that’s fine with you.”David stared at me. His dark eyes looked into mine so intensely that I felt my face grow hot.
