The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 87 An Old Fart?

Allison grinned and glanced at James. "I've already wired two billion dollars to the Carter Group's finance department. Dorian, don't hold back on the budget. I want Serenity Manor looking just like it used to!"

Dorian nodded, even more impressed with Allison. "Ms. Bennett, don't worry, we won't let you down!" Allison shook hands with Dorian, clearly pleased with his team's design. Then, James escorted her to the CEO's office on the top floor. When the elevator doors opened, Allison was surprised to see Alexander waiting. "Aren't you busy?" she asked. Alexander didn't respond, just walked over, took her hand, and led her to his office.

The office area was bustling with about thirty or forty people, all of whom went silent when they saw Alexander holding hands with a young woman. Someone whispered, "Who is she? That's not Ms. Wilson. Why is Mr. Carter holding her hand?"

Once Alexander and Allison were in his office, James returned to his desk, only to be swarmed by curious colleagues.

"James, who is that girl?"

"Yeah, Mr. Carter never gets close to women. What's going on?"

"James, spill it. Is she Mr. Carter's new girlfriend?"

James shot them a cold look. "Gossiping about Mr. Carter's personal life? You looking to get fired?"

The crowd quickly dispersed.

James stood up, surveying the office. "Listen up, I'll say this once. Ms. Bennett is very important to Mr. Carter. I don't want to hear any rumors about her. Offending Ms. Bennett is a big mistake none of you can afford!"

The office fell silent. Everyone knew Alexander's temper and his disdain for people prying into his private life. As members of the CEO's office, they were well aware of this.
