Chapter 724

Author: Summer Blossom
Over the next few days, Macie stuck to her routine. She would go to work during the day, then pick up groceries on the way home to cook for Alice in the evening.

Edward didn't show up again, and she hadn't faced any threats since. Her life seemed to have found its rhythm again, calm and safe.

That evening, Alice was enjoying her after-dinner dessert.

Macie had been thoughtful with her meal planning. Everything she prepared was balanced, nutritious, and most importantly, delicious. Alice had gotten a little carried away and gained two pounds in the past few days.

"It's just two pounds," Macie said, smiling. "You can't even tell."

"I've got a belly now," Alice muttered, pinching at her waist.

"Fortunately, it's only noticeable when you're sitting down," Macie reassured her.

Alice complained about the weight gain but still polished off every bite of dessert before collapsing contentedly on the couch.

"Honestly, May, I should just marry you. I haven't felt this happy in a long ti

    "I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Hale. I shouldn't have done that! I promise it won't happen again." Mitch kept his head bowed so low it looked like his neck was bent at a 30-degree angle. He waited several seconds for Elias to reprimand him, yet nothing came. Unable to help himself, he discreetly lifted his gaze and noticed that Elias was frozen in place behind the desk. "Did you just… say that Alice liked me?" Elias asked.Mitch was perplexed. "Did you not realize that, Mr. Hale?"Elias let the silence speak for him. Mitch explained all the little things Alice had been doing lately and how she had clearly shown up that day dressed as if she were going on a date. Elias recalled her thin high heels. She was well aware that they would be on their feet all day, yet she still wore those uncomfortable shoes. He had initially thought that she was planning to meet someone else. However, when he inquired, she said she didn't have any other plans.Elias fell silent. Mitch sneaked a look at hi

    By the time Alice arrived home that evening, Sean happened to step out of his study. He noticed the gift bag in her hand and teased, "Did Elias buy that for you?"The corner of her lips twitched. "I wish. It's just a freebie from the restaurant.""Then why did you bring it home?" he inquired.She lowered her head and took a look at it. "Great question. Why did I bring it home? I should've chucked it into the bin…" she brooded. Alice let out a heavy sigh and returned to her room. Sean watched her dejected figure disappear down the hall. It looked like things had gone terribly for her that day.He thought about how she had dolled herself up that morning, brimming with hope, and how much effort she had put in beforehand, and decided that it was time he had a word with Elias. So, he fished out his phone, pulled up his chat box with Elias, and sent him a message.…Meanwhile, Elias quietly read Sean's text at the hospital. Sean had asked him if he had any feelings for Alice. If

    "It's fine. We've already placed our orders, after all," Elias said.Alice looked at him. He was as calm and composed as ever, while she was the only one sitting there, stiff with embarrassment.Realizing that she had been stressing over nothing, she gradually relaxed. Elias clearly hadn't taken it the wrong way, so she really didn't need to tie herself in knots.Still, she noticed Elias pick up his phone. He looked like he was texting someone, but she couldn't see what he was typing. So, she lowered her head and pretended to listen to the piano melody drifting through the restaurant, though she wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. She discreetly sent a message to Macie.Elias soon received Mitch's reply. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Hale! I had no idea that place was a romantic restaurant. Its name was so vague that I assumed it was a regular one."Elias' expression dimmed with mild exasperation. The waiter had clearly mentioned that the reservation included a piano performance, and it w

    Elias asked, "Are you not going to work anymore? Sean told me you were going to learn business from him."The moment he brought that up, all she could think about was how she had nodded off in the middle of that meeting. For a second, she wished that the ground could swallow her whole. The worst part was, it wouldn't have been so embarrassing if she had actually gone there to learn. However, the reality was, she had gone there to hit on a man. Now, the man she had wanted to hit on was standing right in front of her, asking her that question.Alice forced a smile. "I think everyone has their own strengths, and after giving business a try, I realize that I'm just not cut out for it."Elias didn't look at her, so he didn't notice how off her expression was. "When my sister recovers, you can follow her if you want to learn about business."After hearing that, she wondered, "If I followed May, wouldn't that mean I'd get to see Elias all the time? However, why did such a great opportun

    Alice was about to ask another question, but when she glanced over her shoulder and tottered on her high heels, her foot landed on a small dip in the floor, and she lost her balance and tipped to the side. Alice let out a startled yelp. Mitch reached out to catch her, but before his hand could touch her, she was already steadied. She tilted her head and caught sight of the man supporting her by the waist. His expression was as unreadable as ever as he guided her back to her feet.Before she could thank him, Elias curtly asked, "Do you think it's professional of you to leak your boss' information to an outsider?"Mitch immediately straightened up. "I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Hale. I thought it didn't fall under business intelligence. Besides, Ms. Hart isn't exactly an outsider.""Personal matters still fall under confidential information," Elias said.Mitch immediately apologized and promised not to do it again. Alice arched her brow and huffed. "Oh, come on. Don't be so stingy!

    When that thought crossed Ivy's mind, her phone rang. It was the landline from the higher-level regional office. As soon as she answered it, the person on the other end tore into her, and her face blanched. The other clerks had gathered around. They stared at the green card. Shannon, the one who had stirred up all this trouble, said, "It looks fake to me, Ivy. There's no way she could—"Before she could finish speaking, a slap landed across her cheek. "Ivy…" Shannon called out stiffly, taken aback. "Don't call me that! From now on, you're not a part of the team anymore!" Ivy snapped. "Do you have any idea who you picked a fight with? She's the heiress of Hart Group! Yet, you dared to hit on her boyfriend. You even tried to get his number. "Now, the store's being shut down because of you! I can't cover for you anymore. Bear the consequences yourself!"Shannon's mind went blank when she heard that. She didn't know how that woman could be the heiress of the Hart family. Shannon
