Chapter 373

Author: Summer Blossom
After putting the pieces together, Alice was convinced that Macie's gift was from Sean.

She scoffed at the thought. She was surprised that her brother took a more thoughtful and strategic approach instead of a direct one.

She figured that Sean probably overheard what Macie said at the end of that call. Or maybe he knew she wouldn't accept any gifts outright, so he thought of a way to give her one.

Macie watched Alice's expression shift from skepticism to seriousness, then to a sudden smile that made no sense.

She had no clue what was on Alice's mind, so she asked, "If everything's fine, then what's with that look?"

"Oh, I'm just happy," Alice said as she smiled. "You have no idea how lucky you are."

Macie glanced at the bag again. She liked its style, design, and sheen of leather.

A moment later, the happiness caught up to her after hearing Alice's remark. She had to admit that it was a pretty pleasant surprise.

With that, their afternoon tea carried on. From across the table,

    After mapping out a new plan with Sean at lunch, Alice told Macie everything."So, I won't be able to visit you during the day anymore. If Elias keeps running into me in both places, he'll grow suspicious," Alice explained.Macie smiled. "That's fine. My injuries are almost healed. The doctor said I can start walking next week so my muscles don't weaken from lying in bed all day. "Go do what you need to do. I hope it works out!""I'll give it a go. If it doesn't work, I'll change the plan. I'll still drop by after work to keep you company for a bit!" Alice said. …A meeting was scheduled for 1:00 pm the next day. Sean had already informed Alice, so she could prepare in advance.Alice felt confident. The document was ridiculously long and boring, so she didn't bother reading it. However, Nico had already filled her in on the important parts. All she had to do now was wait for the key moments Sean had planned for her so she could speak up and draw Elias' attention. Right on th

    "I'm not asking you to negotiate with Elias. All you have to do is follow me when I talk to him," Sean said.Alice nodded, ready to give it a try."Create more chances to interact with him. Find more things to talk about. Didn't you say you can't hold a conversation with him? That's because you two have nothing to talk about," he continued. "To be fair, it is hard to find something to talk to him about. So, start from the basics."She listened intently and pondered it. No one understood men better than another man. Sean laid out a comprehensive plan for her, from business conversations to personal charm. By the time he finished, she gave him a big thumbs-up. Just then, a message popped up on Sean's phone. It was from Elias. Sean took a look at it before sliding his phone across the table. "No wonder he sent me that message. Turns out, it was because of you," he said, biting back his laughter. "For a moment, I thought something was wrong with our company."Looking at the chat

    Mitch watched as Elias extended his hand, yet instead of a pastry, he handed him an empty wrapper.Mitch was dumbfounded, wondering where the pastry was. He looked up and noticed Elias' lips were close and his cheeks were moving. He was clearly chewing something.Mitch froze. Elias actually ate it this time. This was a first for a man who supposedly didn't care for sweets. While Mitch was still lost in thought, Elias walked toward his temporary office, munching on an apple turnover. It was crisp, light, and fragrant. He genuinely thought that it was good.After living abroad for two decades, it had been a long time since he'd tasted something so authentic. The desserts overseas had always been too sweet for him, and he never became accustomed to them. Elias settled at his desk, took a sip of his coffee, and started working. He abruptly paused when he remembered how strangely Alice had been acting these last few days. Even though she had said that everything was fine with her f

    Macie: "Elias is a workaholic with zero interest in women. Are you sure you want to pursue him? I'd hate to see you invest your feelings and end up getting hurt."Alice read Macie's reply and fell into deep thought, her lips pressing together. Elias wasn't interested in women? Was he born with a low libido, or was there something wrong with him?The moment that thought surfaced, her mind instantly drifted back to that night in the hotel. His hot breath, the heat of his palms, and the way he pinned her down and left her no room to fight back…Her cheeks heated up in an instant. At the time, she could tell that Elias definitely wasn't impotent. If anything, he was prolific.With that, Alice thought that she should just go for it. Since Elias is physically fine, she figured that the rest can be worked out. Alice told Macie about her decision, and Macie responded that she would fully support her. Alice asked her for help devising a strategy to pursue him, yet when the two of them put

    Macie was taken aback when she heard that. Then, she listened as Elias answered each of her questions. He said, "I've never dated anyone. I don't have a girlfriend, and certainly not an illegitimate child. I know that might sound unbelievable at my age, but I've been swamped since I was in college."I had to juggle school while taking over our family business. Lyrex Global wasn't the company it is now 20 years ago. It was just a small company."When we first arrived overseas, we were boxed out by local companies. We barely had any market share, and we could only do business within our community…" Elias was basically telling her how their family had built their business overseas. Macie listened intently, realizing how much struggle sat beneath their wealth. Money meant nothing if their products couldn't sell. It was still a losing game.Edmund had been the only one holding the company together in its early days. After years of hardship, things finally started looking up, only for

    When Macie gave it some more thought, she realized that Alice had mentioned it before. She had told Macie that she'd been set up by Sharon at a banquet and that Elias was the one who had stepped in to help her. She had even mentioned that Diana had tried to set the two of them up.Macie had even told Alice not to worry about her and to go for it if she and Elias ever had a chance. Back then, Alice had said the Hale family was too deep a pit to jump into and that she could never tolerate a sister-in-law like Sharon. Now, that sister-in-law was Macie.Macie couldn't help feeling like everything had changed. Elias noticed Macie spacing out even while taking her medicine and asked, "What's wrong? Are you bored? Is something on your mind? "You've been going to bed on time lately, so Mom and Dad left earlier. I'll go check if Mom's asleep, so you two can talk for a bit." Elias knew that he wasn't good at having deep, heart-to-heart conversations. Besides, he figured that she probably
