“Is there any other problem? I heard your mom’s health isn’t great, so you can start the job in a few days if you want,” Dwayne said
seriously.
“No, there’s nothing else, but there’s one thing I think you should know first.” Alice was indeed happy to have finally found a job.
But she still reminded Dwayne softly, “You should know, Mr. Johnson has blacklisted me in the industry, are you sure you want to
hire me p>
“He did mention it two months ago, but it’s been two months, hasn’t it?” Dwayne said with a smile. “There’s no other news from him, I guess it’s over. If he brings it up again, we’ll deal with it then p>
Alice didn’t know what to say for a moment.
She didn’t think Michael was the type to let her go.
He hadn’t mentioned it again, probably because he was sure no one would dare to hire her.
‘Mr. Larson, if Mr. Johnson brings it up again, what will you do? This was Alice’s biggest concern.
If Michael caused trouble again, it would be hard for her to find another job.
Dwayne shrugged. “Then I’ll just fire you, you know, I can’t afford to offend the Johnson Group p>
Alice nodded, she knew it would be like this.
Dwayne valued her abilities, he would use her as long as he could, and if Michael found it out, he would just fire her.
Alice thought for a moment. “Mr. Larson, let’s be clear, if I get fired, I want my daily wages paid in full p>
Dwayne nodded without hesitation. “No problem p>
Alice finally found a job and was in a great mood.
Daryl still had to go back to school to handle his graduation procedures, Alice worked during the day and mostly slept in the hospital at night, returning to the apartment in the morning.
Seeing her running around every day, Ivy felt a bit sorry for her.
“Alice, why don’t we move out and rent a place closer to your company? That way you won’t have to run around so much, look how
thin you’ve gotten p>
Alice had gained some weight in the past few months, but after two weeks of busyness, she had lost it all again.

Alice was still thinking about the artificial heart and decided not to buy a house yet.
After getting the artificial heart, Ivy would need to stay in the hospital for a while, so renting a place would be a waste of time.
At the basketball court, a few people were playing and talking about Alice.
David made a long-distance shot, the ball hit the rim and flew towards Michael.
Michael impatiently caught it. “Do you know how to play p>
“Sorry, Michael, I didn’t mean to.” David quickly apologized and took the ball. “Alright, even though the last shot didn’t go in, Michael and I still won, you two are treating us p>
Glenn and Clifton rolled their eyes at him.
They usually worked out at the gym, only playing basketball when the four of them were together.
It was their little secret, they never brought anyone else, except once-Michael had brought Alice along.
“Alice’s pear soup was really good, I haven’t had it in years; I kind of miss it,” David said while wiping his sweat. “And we haven’t played basketball in a long time, I feel rusty p>
“You were always rusty!” Glenn threw a bottle of water at him.
Mentioning Alice, Clifton nudged Michael’s shoulder. You were asking about artificial hearts for Alice’s mom p>
“I wanted to invest, is that a problem? Michael replied coldly.
He was a bit annoyed, how could they bring up Alice even while playing basketball?
Glenn came over. “Alice really has it tough; I heard her mom was already in the operating room when the heart was taken. If it were me, I would’ve blown up the hospital p>
‘You don’t even dare to mess with your wife, and you think you can blow up a hospital?” David mocked.
Since getting married, Glenn had indeed become more well-behaved.
Although he still had women around, he now only went to healthy places like basketball courts or golf courses, rarely attending other gatherings.
Glenn shrugged. “My wife is a lawyer, so how am I supposed to win an argument with her? I have no choice but to behave at home p>
He turned to Clifton. “By the way, Clifton, aren’t you getting married? Haven’t proposed yet? You and your girlfriend have been together for over ten years; it’s about time p>
Glenn then looked at his friends and shook his head. “You can’t have groomsmen-David always has women around, bad luck;

Michael’s women left him, bad luck p>
Michael glared at him, but Glenn wasn’t scared, suddenly getting interested.
“By the way, did you know Alice went to Luminary Holdings Ltd? I saw her standing behind Dwayne last time, seems like she’s his
secretary now p>
“What’s going on? I used to think Dwayne was nothing special, but with Alice by his side, his aura seems to be stronger and he
looks like a billionaire CEO.
David rolled his eyes. “Could it be that he’s too short, and Alice, being tall and beautiful, makes him look richer?
As he said this, he suddenly remembered Alice’s soaked body from the wine at the bar-her figure was truly arousing.
He looked at Michael guiltily. “Michael, didn’t you blacklist her in the industry p>
“Do you think I’m that free?” Michael drank a whole bottle of water and accurately threw the empty bottle into a distant trash can.
The others exchanged glances; David and Glenn looked at Clifton.
Clifton was speechless, were they asking him to ask?
He sighed. “Michael, what are you thinking? If you didn’t blacklist her, why not let her return to your company p>
This was something Clifton never understood; why the two of them had a falling out, why Alice didn’t want to come back.
In his opinion, Michael had feelings for Alice, he just hadn’t realized it yet.
In such a situation, shouldn’t he keep her by his side? Why push her away?
‘I’m very busy, don’t you know the Amber District land issue is troublesome? Do I have time to deal with her?” Michael’s voice was
flat.
Glenn asked in a low voice, “So are you planning to let her go p>
In Glenn’s opinion, keeping Alice as a mistress would be good, and she could also be a high-level secretary.
And if Alice had a child, the Johnson family would probably compromise.
Suddenly he thought of something. Michael, did Alice really have two miscarriages? You didn’t know before p>
Michael had mentioned it when he was drunk a few days ago, and they had discussed it secretly, thinking Michael must have
softened.
David was hearing about Alice’s miscarriages for the first time, he was shocked. She was on call 24/7, how did she have time for miscarriages? Did she do it voluntarily? Why didn’t she become Michael’s wife with a baby? That’s pretty dumb.
