His face blushed. It was obvious he was hitting on her, and Alice couldn’t miss it.
“She didn’t bring her phone. Why not giving the money to me instead? Rodolfo strode over confidently.
Alice was stunned to see him, and the doctor appeared equally surprised.
The doctor pointed to the phone in her hand. “Isn’t that her phone p>

“It’s mine.” Rodolfo took the phone with the pink fluffy keychain, and the three of them fell silent.
Rodolfo clenched his jaw and said to the doctor, “I like pink, do you have a problem with that? Why are you still here? Waiting for
me to charge interest p>
The doctor left awkwardly, and Rodolfo handed the phone back to Alice. “Ms. Baker, you certainly seem to have many admirers p>
“He just wanted to repay me. Alice took the phone, choosing not to elaborate further.
She glanced around and, not seeing Michael, finally felt relieved.
Rodolfo pursed his lips. Michael had just pushed him over yet now he had disappeared.
He couldn’t figure out what Michael was sulking about.
He wanted Alice gone, yet refused to let her interact with other men. Such possessiveness was deeply unsettling.
If Michael wanted to marry Alice, Rodolfo could understand, but now he was completely baffled.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. Alice smiled at Rodolfo.
“By the way, I’m not Michael’s secretary anymore, so you can just call me Alice p>
Understood, Alice. Rodolfo nodded politely.
Alice held the milk and waited for the elevator, but the line was too long, so she decided to take the stairs instead. The fifth
floor wasn’t too far up, andshe figured it would make for good exercise.
But as soon as she reached the third floor, she felt like someone was behind her.
At this time, the hospital was usually occupied by inpatients and their families or some emergency cases. It was uncommon for
anyone to use the stairs.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Alice felt her hair stand on end.

Chapter 149
The footsteps got closer, and she instinctively quickened her pace.
But just as she reached the fourth floor, she stumbled and almost fell.
A large hand seized her arm from behind, and Alice instinctively tried to scream, but her mouth was covered.
At the same time, the voice-activated lights on the fourth floor went out.
No matter how much Alice struggled, the lights didn’t come on.
Alice bit down on the person’s hand, eliciting a sharp hiss of pain.
She instinctively stopped. Was it Michael?
“I bit you, and now you’re biting back? Ms. Baker, you certainly hold grudges. Michael’s teasing voice sounded.
His large hand found her collarbone through her T-shirt, and Alice instinctively recoiled.
The bite mark there was deep, and it still hurt.
Thinking about how this damned man was now trying to block her from finding a job, Alice felt angry.
She refused to say a word to Michael and pushed his hand away forcefully, “Get out of my way p>
“No. This is not your hospital; I can stand anywhere I like.” Michael took a step forward, pinning her against the wall.
The light flickered on, casting a soft glow across Alice’s delicate profile.
She was dressed simply in a white T-shirt and jeans, looking much like she did when she first met Michael.
But her eyes no longer held innocence, only anger.
“Get out of my way! This is not your hospital, either!” She reached out to push Michael, but he grabbed her wrist.
He teased, “Ms. Baker, you seem to have forgotten. The Johnson family has investments in this hospital. So, in a sense, it belongs
to me p>
