Chapter 165 What Happens When Ethan Loses His Temper (2)

Bruce proved himself to be quite skilled in coercion as he added, “Alice, I bought a present that I wanted to give to you, but I wasn’t able to meet you. I’ll let someone send it over to you tomorrow, so be good.”

In order to get his hands on the tender document, he was still able to immerse himself in the act.

“Okay,” Alice replied softly before she lowered her head. Though it looked as if she was being meek and infatuated with him, her eyes were filled with cold mockery.

Damn, where did Bruce get all his pride and confidence from?

If it weren’t for her plan to conceal herself in order to protect Apollo and Pierce even better, she would’ve already sent him flying to a different planet by now.

“Alice, I still have some matters to attend to. Go home for now and wait for my present tomorrow.” Bruce was particularly satisfied with Alice’s behavior as well as smug, assuming that he had everything under his control.

He had plans with someone else, so he left after finishing his conversation with Alice.

As she watched him leave, Alice secretly took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and it was only by repeating this a few times that she managed to swallow her disgust. After she calmed down, she strode forward again, but as she turned the corner, a pair of long legs that were blocking her way entered her sight.

These legs were lean and shapely, and the well–fitted slacks they were wrapped in enhanced their seductiveness. After admiring the pair of long legs, she remembered with a jolt that she should take a look at their owner.

Her gaze trailed up the aesthetically pleasing legs before she was met with a face that was quite familiar to her. The face was just as visually appealing, but alas…

Ethan leaned slightly on the wall, his feet casually placed on the ground as his eyes bored into her. There was a cigarette clasped between his slender fingers, but it was unlit.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Knight.” Alice was momentarily taken aback, but she still greeted him with a smile. After all, they had signed the papers and lived under the same roof, so it would be quite impolite for her to ignore him after bumping into him headfirst like this.
