Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 168

Why was I making myself sick to appease these people? I roughly set down my chopsticks and pushed the rice away from me.

“I’m full.” I announced. “I’m going to go back to work.”

Then, I left the room, gripping my stomach as I walked away.

In Alexander’s office, I grabbed my laptop and logged into my work email. Even though I was sitting down and barely moving, my nausea just got worse. Part of me wished that I could throw up to feel better, but I couldn’t force myself to.

When Alexander returned to his office, his cheeks were red, and he seemed refreshed after a hearty meal. I stared up at him as my stomach rolled. He looked like the opposite of how I was feeling. But I tried not to let my sickness show.

“You can get comfortable on my couch and start reviewing one of Harris’s financial statements,” he instructed and handed me a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers on it. “Make sure that you review it carefully. I want to make sure that there are no mistakes. Harris is one of our most important clients.”

I nodded and straightened my shoulders, getting straight to work. For a few hours, I worked quickly, but diligently. I didn’t want to make any mistakes, but I also wanted to get out of here with enough time to get a decent night’s sleep.

When the clock struck eleven–thirty at night, we weren’t even close to finishing work. My eyes were starting to water from staring at a screen for too long. I excused myself and grabbed my purse from my desk. In the quiet bathroom, I put in my eyedrops to help my stinging eyes.
