The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 252 To Hold the Apprenticeship Ceremony

With the experiment on pause, Allison decided to hit up Ralph's Apprenticeship Ceremony and gave Alexander a call.

When she wrapped up her work and stepped out of the lab, she was surprised to see Alexander's car already parked at the entrance.

A grin spread across Allison's face as she dashed towards the car. Alexander hopped out as soon as he spotted her.

"Why are you dressed so lightly?" he asked, pulling her into a warm hug.

"I forgot my down jacket. It's freezing!" Allison replied, too caught up in her work to notice the cold.

Alexander, looking a bit annoyed, helped her into the car. "Let's head home and get some rest. We'll grab dinner at Kismet's tonight."

Allison nodded, feeling sleepy as she settled into the car. Alexander held her close. Once they got home, she crashed after a quick shower, and Alexander even dried her hair for her.

In the study at Serenity Manor, James was busy working. When Alexander returned, he quickly reported, "Wallace sent the stolen data to an email address. The IP is from abroad, but Sabrina found that the location is masked. She can't pinpoint the exact address yet, but she suspects it's not far from us."

Alexander nodded. "Check if any domestic companies are working on similar projects." James handed Alexander a folder. "Here's the latest progress from the pharmaceutical plant. As per your instructions, we've upgraded security to the highest level."

Alexander was pleased. The pharmaceutical plant was a gift for Allison, who loved medical research. He wanted her to have a place to pursue her passion.

James was used to Alexander's doting behavior towards Allison. Alexander had even moved his office to Serenity Manor to be closer to her. James couldn't imagine how things would be if they got married.

Allison slept deeply, exhausted from work. Alexander didn't wake her and went to dinner at Kismet's alone.
