Alice couldn’t think of any other meaning of Floyd’s words.
Did he think she was Michael’s kept woman, so now that she was not with Michael, she could be with anyone?
She always knew that Michael’s friends didn’t think much of her, but she didn’t expect someone to say such things right in front of
her.
Her expression turned cold, and she put the menu aside. “Mr. Ryan, I don’t understand what you mean p>
“Mr. Ryan, long time no see. I heard you’re going to be working at your family company too p>
Otis’s voice rang out, and Alice’s expression softened a bit.
He had also heard Floyd’s words just now and knew why she was angry.
In his view, she was never Michael’s mistress; otherwise, she wouldn’t have left Michael so easily.
Floyd, on the other hand, looked like he was facing a serious rival. Otis was his rival for Alice, and he couldn’t afford to lose in
terms of momentum.
“Mr. Jenkins, nice to meet you. You just returned to the country and already have a little lover with you? Impressive p>
Floyd’s words successfully angered Otis, who snorted coldly, “This is my colleague. Mr. Ryan, I’m not like you, with a string of girlfriends and still thinking about stealing others’ partners p>
‘Did you just call me a partner stealer?” Floyd slapped the table and stood up.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, Alice quickly tried to mediate, “Mr. Jenkins, you just returned to the country. The dishes and desserts at this restaurant are quite good; you should try them all p>
“And about what we discussed last time, I will seriously consider it p>
She smiled at Otis, who then nodded slightly. “Alright, I’ll try everything and wait for your good news p>
He glanced at Floyd. “Ms. Baker, if anything comes up, call me immediately p>
After Otis left, Floyd looked at Alice unhappily. “What good news? Are you really going to be his secretary? Didn’t I tell you to come
with me p>
“To do what?” Alice’s face turned a bit sour.
“What else? Build a career, take over the company. Floyd heavily placed a cup in front of Alice.

Chapter 33
“My dad insists I work, and now the company is directly handed to me. How would I know how to manage it?

“Alice, I’m sincerely asking you to be my secretary. You know me; I’m a good-for-nothing. Without you, my company will go under Otis at least studied abroad, and Michael has been dominating the business world for ten years. I m a newbie and need your support
the most p>
Alice stared at him blankly, then burst into laughter.
She hadn’t interacted much with Floyd before, she’d only heard that he was a playboy. She didn’t expect him to talk like this.
Seeing her laugh, Floyd knew he had a chance and quickly added, “I’m just a rich fool. Don’t worry; you’ll have the final say in al company matters. I’ll just provide the money and sign the papers, not saying a word about work. I won’t boss you around p>
“Whatever you need or want to do, I won’t question it. How about that p>
Hearing rich fool,” Alice couldn’t help but laugh, finally saying she would definitely consider it.
“Alright, it’s settled then p>
Floyd happily leaned over, put his arm around Alice’s shoulder, and took a few selfies.
To prove their good relationship, he added various cartoon stickers and took a few more selfies with bunny ears with Alice.
Then he posted a status, “I’m going to have both love and career p>
When Clifton saw it, he was shocked by the photos.
Floyd had no idea what posting this status meant; he just wanted to suppress Otis a bit.
Clifton calmly handed the phone to Michael beside him.
Looking at the photo of Alice with bunny ears and her slightly embarrassed smile, Michael’s eyes darkened, and he pushed the phone away. “Why are you showing me this garbage p>
“By the way, you and Ms. Baker don’t have any selfies together, right? Clifton tried to provoke Michael.
Michael remained expressionless and didn’t say another word.
Just as Clifton was about to continue teasing, Alice’s call came in.
“Mr. Farley, sorry to bother you, but can you come to the police station? Floyd got into a fight and was taken away by the police.
Alice’s voice was soft, with a hint of embarrassment.
After dinner, she was supposed to go home, but Floyd insisted on driving her.

Chapter 33
She waited at the door for over ten minutes but didn’t see Floyd’s pink sports car. When she got to the parking lot, both Floyd and
Otis were injured and subdued by the police.
They had fought in the parking lot, and the security guards, not daring to offend either, called the police directly.
Floyd initially wanted her to call Michael, but Alice thought it over and decided to call Clifton instead.
If Michael came, she would be labeled a promiscuousand might even get a lecture. She didn’t want to bear that stigma.
The main issue was that Floyd and Otis had significant backgrounds.
Not to mention the Jenkins family, the ruthless Ryan family would never allow a woman who could affect Floyd’s future to exist.
Having been around Michael for so many years, she had seen too many lawless acts by the rich.
Among Michael’s friends, only Clifton had a relatively good relationship with her. Clifton was upright and composed, making him the best person to handle this matter.
But she didn’t expect Clifton to be with Michael at the time, and Michael also came to the police station.
She initially rushed out to greet Clifton but stopped in her tracks when she saw Michael.
“What’s going on? Who did Floyd fight with?” Clifton stepped forward to ask.
‘Otis Jenkins, Alice answered softly.
“I asked earlier; in this situation, they can be bailed out. Mr. Ryan doesn’t want his family to know about this, so I had to call you’
It wasn’t just Floyd who didn’t want his family to know; Otis felt the same, so Otis directly asked Alice to bail him out.
She took out a bank card. ‘Mr. Jenkins doesn’t want his family to know either, so I’ll cover his bail.
Clifton raised an eyebrow slightly, then stuffed the card back into her pocket. I’ll handle it. Your leg isn’t convenient; just wait
here.
He walked over to a police officer in charge.
Michael didn’t follow but looked at Alice with full sarcasm.
“Impressive, Alice, in such a short time, you’ve made two men fight over you. Are you showing off your charm p>
