Chapter 218
Chapter 218
Michael had feelings for Alice; otherwise, why would he come over as soon as he knew Alice was at the café?
Alice pouted and started the car.
The cafe was only ten kilometers from the Johnson Group. Alice wanted to get rid of Michael quickly and drove a bit fast.
She originally wanted to rush through the last three seconds of the green light, but suddenly a child on a bike ran a red light in front of her, and she braked hard to stop the car.
Michael tightly gripped the seatbelt and turned to her expressionlessly.
Alice then realized that her car was a basic model, and the passenger seat didn’t even have a handle.
“Are you trying to get revenge? Michael looked at her coldly.
“What?” Alice didn’t understand what he meant.
Michael poked her forehead.
Although Alice had covered it with foundation, the mark was still visible; it must have hurt a lot at the time.
Alice laughed awkwardly, “No, I wouldn’t dare p>
“What wouldn’t you dare?” Michael muttered.
Alice pretended not to hear and ignored him.
Just as they were about to reach the company, Michael spoke again, “Are you very scared p>
“What?” Alice was even more confused.
‘Did your IQ drop after you went to Luminary Holdings Ltd?” Michael looked at her with some disdain, but then his voice softened a
bit as he thought of something. I mean, were you very scared when riding a jet ski p>
‘You know I can’t swim; I’m afraid of water, Alice said frankly. “After being swept away by the surfboard last time, I’m even more
afraid of water. Of course, I’m scared p>
“Then why did you get on the jet ski with me?” Michael frowned.
Alice had the urge to strangle him. “You pulled me up p>
“Didn’t I teach you how to ride a jet ski?” Michael was a bit unhappy.

Chapter 218
Actually, he was very unhappy.
He had taught Alice before; she might not be able to surf, but riding a jet ski was easier than riding a motorcycle, and she couldn’t
do it?
Alice remembered that when their relationship was good, Michael had indeed taught her.
But she was scared, and she couldn’t help it; everyone had their fears.
Alice took a deep breath. I’m a secretary, not a professional player. It doesn’t matter if I can’t do it, as long as I do my job well
She added, “Mr. Johnson, I used my own car to bring you back today p>
“So you want me to pay for the ride?” Michael squinted at her.
Alice shook her head. “No need, you gave me my bonus, so let’s forget it this time. Next time you order me around like this, I’l
charge you.
Michael opened his mouth, then laughed in exasperation.
Three hundred thousand dollars in bonus, and she just brushed it off like that.
He unbuckled his seatbelt. “Not even a thank you p>
“That was my due. Alice looked at him coldly.
She had thought about it; if she didn’t get this bonus, she probably wouldn’t ask for it.
But she didn’t want to thank Michael either. If it weren’t for Aurora’s matter, this money would have been hers anyway. He was just doing what a boss should do; what was there to thank?
Michael nodded repeatedly. “Very good, Ms. Baker.
He opened the door and got out, slamming the door shut.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Alice felt heartbroken; she usually took great care of her car.
“Your lousy car is worse than a taxi, and you still want a fare? Dream on.” Michael left a sentence and threw something into the car
window before turning to leave.
Alice looked at the ointment thrown on the passenger seat, feeling a mix of emotions.
