Ecstacy of the Heart

After boiling the pork ribs for a whole two hours, a nutritious and mouth-watering pork rib soup was done. Allison poured the soup into a thermos flask before heading out.

Before she left the house, she studied herself in the mirror. Suddenly, she was stuck by uncertainty.

If she were to appear in the company looking like this, there would be numerous colleagues who would no doubt recognize her. Her entrance and exit into and out of the president’s office would certainly stir up some suspicion.

After some deliberation, she decided to change into a casual sportswear besides wearing a cap and a mask. Then, she could finally depart to the company.

When Alexander had sent her last time, he led her through an exclusive pathway reserved only for him before entering the president’s office. This time, she also took the exclusive elevator which led her to the president’s office directly.

When she got off the elevator, Allison was feeling happy for herself for hatching this brilliant idea. However, before she could go further, she was being stopped by someone.

“Who are you? Do you know where you are now? Food delivery can’t get through here!”

A woman who looked like a secretary was blocking Allison’s way. She had a good-looking face but her raised brows showed an expression of indifference and arrogance towards Allison.

Allison was stunned for one moment and that woman continued, “Whose food delivery is it? Leave it here and exit this place!”

Food delivery?

Allison looked downwards at her attire and the food box carried by her. She indeed couldn’t explain herself well looking like this.

That woman couldn’t get any response from Allison which caused her expression to become hideous, “Do you hear me? I’m asking you to get out. This is not a place someone like you can just come in!”

Allison’s gaze fell on the name tag on her chest. She spelled out her name, “Lillian, your attitude is a little…”

“My attitude? You’re just delivering food, what kind of attitude are you expecting me to show you?”

Lillian rolled her eyes as she was about to snatch the food box from her hands, “Give me the food, and get lost!”

Allison staggered backwards, and just as she was stuck in a dilemma, a familiar voice sounded nearby.
