The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Rejected in Person

Allison nodded, her eyes twinkling with laughter, which made Alexander let out a sigh of relief. He was truly worried that Allison might sink into her sadness. Fortunately, she turned out to be incredibly strong.

Just as everyone was digging into their meal, two unexpected guests showed up. "We smelled the food and thought we'd join. Is that cool?"

Sloane and Mason's arrival was a surprise. Hunter didn't think much of it; the Grey family lived nearby, so it made sense. He invited them to join the meal.

Liliana glanced at Sloane with a complicated look, then at the clueless Allison, feeling things were about to get messy.

"Alexander, can I sit next to you?" Sloane asked.

Allison looked up to see Alexander's slightly annoyed expression. He refused, "No, it's too crowded here. You and Mason can sit across from us."

Alexander never showed any extra emotion towards women other than Allison.

He didn't even spare Sloane a glance, which made her instinctively clench her fingers. She had already noticed how Alexander was serving Allison food and taking care of her so meticulously. She had never received such treatment, not even a second glance from Alexander.

"Then I'll sit with Ms. Bennett," Sloane said, squeezing in next to Allison.

Allison had no choice but to move closer to Alexander, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Alexander, Sloane won a big award this time and wants to gain some experience at the Carter Group's jewelry company. Could you give her a chance?" Mason asked, trying to be tactful.

For Alexander, offering a job opportunity was no big deal.

But he didn't go along with it; instead, he directly refused. "The jewelry company under the Carter Group has always been managed by my sister. It was originally established because she got married and had nothing to do, and she likes jewelry. The company isn't very large and isn't suitable for Sloane. The jewelry company under the Grey Group is a leader in the industry; there's no need to go far."
