Chapter 233
Alice wasn’t feeling well. She exchanged a few more words with Daryl before hanging up the video call and then left the mall
directly with her things.
From the moment she got on the elevator to when she walked out of the mall, she had the constant feeling of being watched.
She pretended to tie her shoelaces several times, trying to see if someone was following her, but she saw no one.
She even quickened her pace, but it seemed like someone was always right behind her.
Alice suddenly turned around, but there were only strangers passing by, none of whom she recognized.
Who was spying on her?
She didn’t know anyone in Sovereign City.
But she believed this was definitely not an illusion.
Her intuition was always accurate, and it might be a visual illusion once, but what if it happened many times?
In the café, she felt there was a flash, clearly someone was secretly photographing her.
Even though Alice was usually brave, she was a bit scared.
She had this feeling when she was in Suncrest City, but later she thought it was that influencer at the porcelain jewelry factory.
After all, they had helped her, and she thought they might be a good person.
There were too many things going on at the time, and she forgot to continue investigating later.
She regretted it a bit. At that time, she was still a senior secretary at the Johnson Group, which would be much easier for her to do investigation. Now, it might not be possible.
She felt that if she didn’t find this person, she might always be on edge.
And this shadowy feeling followed her all the way upstairs.
She clearly took the elevator up, and she didn’t think anyone would follow her to the 22nd floor.
But she felt like someone was always at the end of the hallway.
Over there was the emergency exit, perfect for hiding!
Could the person have climbed the stairs directly? How would they know she was on the 22nd floor?

Chapter 233
The more Alice thought about it, the more something felt off, and her hair stood on end.
She instinctively reached into her pocket. Fortunately, she had the habit of carrying self-defense spray with her, and a small bottle
was enough to incapacitate someone.
She held her breath and walked over slowly.
When she saw the corner of a man’s coat, her breathing became tense.
Just as she reached out her hand, the man pulled her into the corner.
Alice was about to scream when the man covered her mouth and nose, and she smelled a familiar scent.
Michael grabbed the spray from her hand and sniffed it. “Trying to send me to the hospital? Alice, do you really think I wouldn’t
dare touch you p>
“Sorry, I didn’t know it was you.” Alice felt a bit guilty.
If she had known it was Michael, she would have gone straight to her room and locked the door!
“Just a sorry?’ Michael shoved the spray back into her pocket
Alice muttered, “Who told you to be so sneaky p>
“Am I an eyesore even when I’m making a phone call here?” Michael moved closer, catching her scent again.
Indeed, this scent was unique to Alice.
Looking at her hair, he felt annoyed and directly reached out to untie her hairband.
Alice’s long hair fell loose, and Michael nodded. “Much better. Do you know how messy you looked? And you still have the nerve to represent the company at a ribbon-cutting p>
“None of your business.” Alice looked at him displeased.
Then she realized they were standing a bit too close.
She straightened up and said unhappily, “Aren’t you staying on the 20th floor? What are you doing on the 22nd floor p>
Michael sneered, “You are quite attentive to me, knowing I stay on the 20th floor. What do you want p>
Alice rolled her eyes. What did she want?
She wished she could stay far away from him!
Before she could push him away, all the lights in the hallway went out.

Alice instinctively grabbed Michael’s clothes. She was afraid of the dark, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Ever since Jett said he would send her away, she had been afraid of the dark since then.
Every night she would hide in her room, locking the door tightly, afraid someone would break in.
Later, when she went to nightclubs, she felt like the darkness on the path to the club would swallow her.
Her body trembled, and she clung tightly to Michael’s shirt.
The next second, Michael picked her up, took the room card from her pocket, and carried her into the room.
There were still emergency lights in the hallway, but once inside the room, it was completely dark.
Even the streetlights outside were out.
Alice took a deep breath. “Mr. Johnson, thank you. You can leave now p>
She pushed Michael hard, but he didn’t budge.
Michael suddenly pinned her against the wall. “Just a thank you? Your thank you is really valuable p>
Michael’s hot breath washed over her, and Alice felt dizzy.
She turned her head away. “Should I pay you? Is five hundred dollars enough? After all, you didn’t even have money for takeout p>
Michael was initially puzzled, then realized what she was referring to. Was she mocking him for what happened yesterday?
He moved closer. “Do you think five hundred dollars is enough p>
“Almost.” Alice pushed him hard. “Can you leave p>
She was a bit angry. What right did Michael have to enter her room?
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. “Alice, are you there? The receptionist said there’s a power outage in this area. Are you
back?
Alice bit her lip and tried to stay silent.
Michael raised an eyebrow and lightly bit her neck. “Afraid to speak p>
He went from biting to gently kissing, moving from her neck down, licking her collarbone.
Alice struggled several times but couldn’t break free, and she really didn’t dare make a sound.
Dwayne had just asked her about Celestia and Michael’s relationship.

If he knew Michael was in her room now, wouldn’t he send her back to Michael’s bed?
“Not back? The phone should have power, right?” Dwayne outside seemed about to call.
Alice quickly spoke up, “Mr. Larson, I’m here, sorry, I was in the middle of a shower p>
Implying it was inconvenient to open the door.
Dwayne sighed in relief upon hearing her voice. I thought you were stuck outside. The elevator is out too. Alright, no problem, rest
well p>
Hearing Dwayne leave, Alice pushed Michael hard. “Get out p>
The next second, she heard a ripping sound as Michael tore her T-shirt.
Alice’s eyes widened. “You jerk! I only brought this one outfit p>
“Didn’t you go shopping? I saw a new bra. Michael unhooked her bra, his large hand covering her breast.
“Bigger? This isn’t the same cup size as before p>
“You jerk! Alice cursed when Michael kissed her hard again.
Michael grew angrier as he kissed.
Her lips were soft, and her mouth was warm. So why were her words so harsh?
