“After eating steak for so long, he might want to try a hamburger. What’s so strange about that p>
Alice stood at the back of the crowd, her expression unchanged.
She knew that Aurora and Michael had nothing going on, at least not to the final step.
Because Aurora’s faith forbade premarital sex.
Thinking of this, Alice suddenly lost her appetite and only ordered a cup of iced coffee before returning to the office.
This time, she was solely responsible for escorting the foreign delegation, and Alice felt a rare sense of freedom.
But thinking about going to the Johnson family estate in the evening gave her a headache.
After finishing the tour and signing the first batch of orders, she returned to the company.
But Michael was not there.
Winter said Michael had taken Aurora out at noon and hadn’t returned since.
“The department managers are still waiting for Mr. Johnson to sign the documents for tomorrow morning. What should we do p>
Winter glanced at the CEO’s office and finally said, “Unreasonable p>

Alice smiled and took the documents. “I have a social event with him tonight. I’ll have him sign the documents. Don’t worry, it won’t be
delayed p>
She organized the documents and called Michael several times, but he didn’t answer.
Finally, she had to call Michael’s private number.
Aurora’s voice came from the other end, “Hello? Who is this p>
Alice was stunned. Michael hadn’t saved her number?
“Aurora, where are you now? Mr. Johnson has a social event tonight.” She didn’t mention going to the Johnson villa, not wanting to upset
Aurora.
“Alice? Mr. Johnson kept me for observation,” Aurora’s voice dropped to a whisper, with a hint of shyness. I got my period, and my stomach hurts. Mr. Johnson said it was serious and brought me to the hospital for observation. He went to buy things for me. Alice, do you need something p>

“Just remind him about the social event tonight. I’ll go ahead. Tell him to try to make it.” Alice quickly hung up and took a cab to the
Johnson Villa.
Michael really didn’t like attending such occasions. Almost all the Johnson family dinners were attended by Alice alone.
She thought Michael might not come today, but it was always good to remind him.
To her surprise, Michael arrived just ten minutes after she did.
Michael’s father Vaughn Johnson looked displeased. “It’s a family dinner and you are late, do you have any sense of time p>
Michael ignored him and greeted his grandmother, Rosalind Claire.
At the dinner table, Serafina kept piling food onto Alice’s plate. “Why did you leave secretly at the last family dinner? I saved a lot of
delicious food for you p>
Thinking of that night three months ago, Alice subconsciously touched her lower belly. “There was an urgent matter at the company that needed my attention p>
“You spoil Michael too much. He’s a grown man, why didn’t he handle it himself?” Rosalind looked at her disapprovingly. “The family dinner is an important event. It’s not appropriate for you to be absent p>
“What’s inappropriate?” Michael said coldly.
In ten years, Alice had completely integrated into his life and work.
She was not just his secretary and lover, sometimes she was like another him.
She paid visits to his elders, attended family dinners and social events on his behalf. Everyone around him had accepted her presence, even thinking they would definitely get married.
This year, Serafina had already mentioned their marriage several times, and it seemed she was about to bring it up again.
Michael put down his utensils and looked at everyone coldly. “She’s an outsider and shouldn’t be here at all p>
