Chapter 11:

Alicia preferred to turn a deaf ear to Caden's animosity.

He opened the door and walked out without saying another word.

As soon as we left, Hank appeared.

"Mr. Ward, should I take Miss Bennett home?"

Caden's expression was colder than usual.

"That won't be necessary. You might as well use your mouth to find your way home."

Hank blinked, unsure of how to respond to that.

Alice didn't leave immediately. She went downstairs to buy some desserts and a cup of coffee. Then she went to knock on Hank's office door.

“Miss Bennett,” Hank exclaimed in surprise. “Can I help you?”

Alicia placed the sweets and coffee on her desk with a kind smile.

"I'm afraid I'll have to bother you, Mr. Ford. Please pass this on to Mr. Ward."

Hank was visibly surprised.

What shameless cruelty!

What could have been put in the coffee? Drugs?

Bleach? Battery acid? Rat poison?

Or maybe a few bugs?

Hank didn't dare pick up the coffee.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Bennett,” she said politely, “but Mr. Ward only drinks coffee made from freshly ground beans stored in the company pantry.”

Alice lowered her eyes.

“It's okay. If it's too much trouble, then let's forget about it. “I just wanted to apologize to Caden, that’s all.”

As he pulled his hand away and straightened up, he accidentally knocked over his coffee cup, spilling its contents all over Hank's desk.
