His Domineering Lover

"Aleigha, do you like my tone?"

"Boring!"

"Really? Maybe."

The elevator door opened again, and Aleigha took the lead to walk out.

Maurice followed behind.

"Miss Gardner, Mill is waiting for you inside." The assistant came close to Aleigha and made a report.

"I see. Go work now."

Mill was waiting silently in the office. Aleigha pushed the door open and came in. Then, Mill saw Maurice before opening his mouth.

Silence pervaded in the office.

"You two say whatever you want, and I will turn a deaf ear to it."

Maurice leaned on the sofa and ate the fruit casually as if at home.

"Mill, I will call you later. Leave now."

Mill nodded and left the office after shooting a glance at Maurice.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Aleigha sat on the office chair and looked at Maurice seriously.

"I told you before. I'm bored, and I want to start a love game with you."

Aleigha couldn't figure out what Maurice wanted in this careless and casual way.

"My Lord, could you please spare me?"

"Aleigha, do you dislike me?"

Aleigha was stunned by this question and answered with a smile, "You are famous, influential, and powerful. I will die like an ant if you wish." "How can I dislike you? What a joke!"

"Then, let's start the love game."

Maurice bit the apple and looked at Aleigha with a complicated look.

Aleigha charmed him like drugs. The more he got close to her, the more he felt bewitched.

But there was always a voice to remind him that this woman belonged to Adrian.

He was tortured by this confusion for days.

Now, he came for an answer.

"Maurice, you are so boring."

Aleigha was always tough to scoundrels, but her pregnancy prevented her from being overexcited.

"Dine with me at noon."

"No."

"Then, I'll stay here until you agree to go."

"Tell me the place."

"I'll take you there."

"Maurice, I'm busy. I accept your invitation for lunch, but please don't disturb my work, OK?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up at noon. I dare you to refuse me."

"Insane!"

Aleigha let out a long sigh of relief after Maurice left her office. Restless, she called her assistant to see Maurice off by herself. Until then, Aleigha got relieved. Mill looked sulky in his second coming in Aleigha's office.

"Miss Gardner, we got the truth about Ruby."

"Leona or Samantha?"

"Samantha."

Aleigha became cold and sneered, "Samantha should do this! She is a henchman for Leona now."

"Ruby was pushed downstairs by Samantha. A family living on the opposite side of the hotel saw the whole process." "So, we have witnesses now?"

"Yes." "Contact Mr. Maddox. I don't want to waste time on Samantha anymore. It's time to put an end to our entanglement."

Mill nodded and walked out of the room.

A document with a blue cover attracted Aleigha's attention. It was sent here by Environment Protection Bureau yesterday. Leona was developing a new energy-saving control system, and Lennon invested a lot of money in this project.

The projects about the urban

environment were profitable. They

helped win favor from the

velet

her and get double p

in the later stage.

Lennon was smart enough to change his development direction in front of the setback in the newe technology, which Adrian and Jaidyn took the lead now.

However, Aleigha prepared for the urban environment projects from last year, and her negotiation with the government was in process.

This blue document was the latest environmental report from the government.

An idea came up in her mind, and Aleigha felt more than glad about this development.

"Leona, it's time to showdown."

It was lunch time, and Maurice arrived.

Aleigha felt headaches as her phone didn't stop ringing.

"If Mr. Xiao calls me, tell him that I go to the Environment Protection Bureau."

The assistant checked Aleigha's schedule and reminded, "Miss Gardner, you have a meeting with Mr. Jenkins of Alpite Group this afternoon."

"I know. See you later."

Walking out of the company, Aleigha saw Maurice leaning against his Ferrari with a cigarette.

Aleigha walked toward Maurice with a sulky face.

Maurice flung the cigarette away and walked up, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever. I have no choice, don't I?"

"Aleigha, I don't like your tone. I like your smile."

'Smiling at you!' Aleigha wanted to give him two slaps on the face.

"My lord, I don't mind the food, but be quick, as I have a meeting this afternoon."

"You are overloaded with work? Why not be my woman? I will give you money but no work!"

Aleigha sneered and looked away from him.

Maurice felt embarrassed because Aleigha made no response. He held the car door for Aleigha. And then, he drove her to a Michelin- starred restaurant.

On the way, Maurice glanced at Aleigha from time to time, but Aleigha was focusing on the news on her phone.

In Maurice's opinion, girls should be interested in fashions, bags, and travels.

"What do you like?"

"Money!"

This answer made Maurice overjoyed.

Thank goodness! Maurice found the breakthrough, finally!

Arriving at the restaurant, Maurice opened the car door for Aleigha personally and then handed the car key to the doorman.

There were not many people in the restaurant. The waiter led Maurice and Aleigha to a corner.

Aleigha looked around and pointed to one window. "Let's sit there."

"You hear her."

Maurice said with a smile.

Ignoring Maurice, Aleigha resumed reading the news after sitting down.

"What do you want for lunch?"

"Whatever."

"Do you have whatever?"

Maurice looked at the waiter and asked.

The waiter shook his head with confusion.

"Then, a special dessert and salad. I don't have a good appetite lately."

Adrian forbade Aleigha to eat too many desserts, but she tried to eat some behind his back.

"The same as hers."

Maurice seemed to agree with Aleigha on everything.

"I'll give you money. How much do you want?"

Maurice looked at Aleigha and asked suddenly.

This question astonished Aleigha. She looked at Maurice in surprise and asked sincerely, "Are you sick?"

"Be crossed in love? Your loved one passed away? Or depression?" "Aleigha, I'm serious!"
