Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Caroline's Whereabouts

Alistair walked straight up to Gordon without hesitation.

Gordon's assistant moved to intercept him but froze when he recognized Alistair's

face.

Gordon's expression remained unreadable, his face cold and composed.

This wasn't exactly the best time to approach him, but Alistair didn't care.

Gordon stopped in his tracks and stared at him coolly.

It was the first time Gordon had ever looked him in the eye.

Alistair responded with a polite, courteous smile.

Gordon, face devoid of emotion, said flatly, "I'm not Caroline. You don't need to

smile at me like that."

The implication was obvious. "Save your charm. Your little pretty-boy act doesn't

work on me."

Alistair said nothing.

Gordon hadn't bothered to sugarcoat it. His words hit like a slap in the face.

Even the young assistant raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised Gordon would be

that blunt.

Still smiling, Alistair replied, "My parents and teachers raised

me to be polite and pleasant to others. Even if you don't appreciate it, I can't just

toss aside my manners."

Gordon frowned, staring at him.

The assistant looked stunned. He clearly hadn't expected Alistair to talk back.

Without another word, Alistair stepped into the express elevator and headed up to

Vireon Technologies.

He wasn't going to waste energy being warm to someone so cold, even if that

someone was Gordon.

Julian was visibly surprised to see him. "What are you doing here? Carol didn't tell

you?"

Alistair glanced toward Caroline's office.

Only then did Julian notice he wasn't holding the usual Thermos.

"Ms. Ashbourne isn't in," Julian explained.

Alistair didn't ask where she was. Instead, he asked why Julian
