The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 20 Meeting

At school, Mia called Alexander during lunch break. "Uncle, what should I do? Allison's getting bullied! I can't find her!" Mia's voice was frantic.

Alexander frowned, just stepping out of a meeting and heading to his office. "What happened?"

Mia quickly filled him in on the past couple of days. "Uncle, they're being so mean. They're badmouthing Allison, and even the teacher's picking on her. It's awful!" Alexander's face darkened. Allison had just gotten out of the hospital and now this.

"Focus on your classes. I'll handle it," Alexander said firmly.

He drove straight to Oceanview Apartments, but Allison wasn't home-only Felicity was there.

Meanwhile, Allison and Cleo were at a bustling restaurant. The place didn't look like much from the outside, but it was packed.

Cleo's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Allison, I love spots like this. The food's gotta be amazing!"

Allison nodded. "This place is a Skycrest staple. It's been here for decades, and the food's always been top-notch."

They found a small table since there were no private rooms available. Allison ordered, and the food came out fast.

After they ate, Cleo leaned in. "Actually, besides wanting to see you, I have another reason for coming."

Allison smiled. "I figured."

Cleo admired Allison's sharp mind. "This is about you. Remember Dr. White?"

Allison nodded. Benjamin White was a leading expert and a respected academician. They'd worked together before, though they'd never met.

"He reached out to Genesis Creations and specifically asked for you. He needs your help on a research project," Cleo explained.

Allison sipped her tea, thinking it over.
