Love Her to No End

Chapter 28 Keeping A Distance From Jonathan

Adrian’s initial purpose in establishing the foundation was to provide financial assistance to poor students and give them a chance to continue their education.

Upon receiving special attention and support from various organizations in society, there had been a large-scale development with regard to the charitable work done by the foundation.

After the meeting on Monday morning, Michaela headed to the project team and reported herself to the Board of Directors with her offer letter.

Since she was a regular volunteer on the project team during summer and winter breaks, she was not a stranger to all the team members.

Everyone was aware that she was the daughter of the president. Nevertheless, her vibrant and genuine character had won the hearts of many. The staff liked working with her because she was frank, and she never grumbled.

Additionally, she also got along well with all her colleagues.

Michaela was assigned to join the foundation’s most recent project “A Helping Hand”. Her main duty was to obtain and consolidate public resources, including communicating with all collaborators and sponsors to ensure a smooth implementation of the project.

Right then, Michaela was studying the project information at her desk when a neighboring colleague scooted over. She scanned her surrounding before whispering, “Mich, did Alois send you here just now? His voice was kind of hoarse during the morning meeting. Did he catch a cold?”

“Why do you ask me? Haven’t won him over yet?” Michaela looked at Lorelei and chuckled.

The latter blushed instantly. She pursed her lips and muttered, “I don’t dare to confess my feelings to him. I’m afraid that he will ignore me once I do that. What do you think I should do?”

“You came all the way here for him, anyway. If you don’t take the initiative now to woo Alois, don’t regret when he’s taken!”

Alois was an orphan, who completed his studies through his maternal grandfather’s sponsorship.

After graduating from university, he declined multiple job offers from different big companies as he had set his mind to work for the foundation.

Lorelei was his faithful admirer. No matter how she tried to win his heart from their university days to date, Alois had never once responded to her love.

All the project team members knew that Lorelei came for the sake of Alois. It was also not a surprise to see Michaela gossiping with Lorelei since they were about the same age and had similar interests.

Seeing how dejected Lorelei was as she returned to her desk, Michaela shook her head. Just when she was about to continue her work, her phone rang.

The name shown on the caller ID made her heart skip a beat. Instinctively, she hung up but soon received a threatening message.
