The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 54 The Hypocritical Yasmin

Back in the bedroom, Allison's face was still red. She had a hard time deciding whether to let Alexander stay the night, but it was really late. Plus, she was the one who asked him for help, so it made sense to let him stay. Taking a deep breath, Allison thought, "Just trust him this once."

There wasn't much time to sleep, only about three hours. Allison's internal clock was spot on; she always woke up at 6:30 AM. When she got dressed in her school uniform and headed out, she saw Alexander coming out of the kitchen with breakfast, even earlier than her.

Seeing her, Alexander smiled, "Good morning, Mr. Carter!"

He set the breakfast on the table and motioned for Allison to dig in. Today's breakfast was fried eggs and porridge, which she loved.

Alexander didn't eat much; he just watched Allison eat. "The Bennett Group's issues are complicated. It'll take time to figure out what your dad did behind the scenes. Before the shareholders' meeting, don't do anything rash!" Allison nodded. When it came to business, listening to Alexander was the smart move.

Alexander offered to drive Allison to school, but she turned him down. "I have a bike, it's super convenient, Mr. Carter. I'm not a kid!"

With that, Allison went downstairs, hopped on her bike, and pedaled away.

Alexander chuckled as he watched her go. She was probably just shy.

Actually, it wasn't about shyness. They weren't in a romantic relationship yet, so it wasn't right to be seen together, especially since he was Mia's uncle.

In class, Allison was napping on her desk. The teacher was used to it, as long as she was in the room.

At lunchtime, Mia handed Allison an invitation.

then, Allison and Mia finished eating and were about to put their trays away. As they passed by Yasmin's group, someone suddenly stood up and shoved Allison. "Oops, didn't see you there, Allison. Watch out!" Allison stumbled forward
