Ecstacy of the Heart
Chapter 10 Thank You
Alexander had long slender legs which enabled him to take long strides while walking. Allison had to jog just to catch up with him.
The two of them entered a restaurant serving homemade food and the employees there seemed to recognize Alexander. At the sight of him, they immediately led him deep into the restaurant.
After settling down in a private suite, there were waiters on standby to serve them. Foods were served one after another very quickly, as if everything was pre-planned. They could almost start eating the moment they arrived.
Allison once again marveled at how great Alexander was.
The suite was enveloped in silence. Alexander seemed like he had urgent matters at work to attend to as he was seen studying the tablet PC given to him by Bernard.
The suite was beyond spacious and there were way too many dishes on the table. With only the two of them savoring the food, it seemed like a waste.
However, when she thought about Alexander’s status, this type of grandeur was probably his norm.
Allison lifted the tea cup in front of her and took a sip. She then raised her head and thanked Alexander, “I want to thank you about that ordeal just now.”
Her voice was very tiny as if she was afraid her sudden words would disturb him.
Alexander seemed not to hear her as he continued with his job.
Allison stopped talking at this point although her gratitude was genuine.
