Ellie could hear her heart pounding in her chest.
Alex was well-behaved tonight. He didn’t try to touch her and didn’t even ask her about dating again.
He just stood in front of her, stared at her seriously and told her that he missed her, but she was touched more
than ever.
“Mr. Warren, we're almost there.” Ellie wanted to change the subject and tried to walk past Alex, but he grabbed
her wrist and pulled her closer.
He looked into her eyes and said, “Ellie, I'm waiting for your answer.”
Held in Alex's arms, Ellie looked up at him. She was stunned by the emotions surging in his eyes.
Alex looked down at Ellie, and then his gaze slowly moved down to her lips. Then his eyes darkened.
He tentatively lowered his head, and just as their lips were about to touch, Alex restrained himself from kissing
her.
He rested his forehead against Ellie’s and said, “I have sgifts for you. They're in the car. I'll give them to you
tomorrow.
“Let’s go.” Alex let go of Ellie and turned around first.
Ellie stood still, in a daze.
She patted her chest repeatedly and took deep to calm herself down.
She could handle Alex’s recklessness, playfulness, and even his dominance, but she was afraid of him like this.
The subtle probing, the veiled ambiguity, and the barely concealed desire.

They all made her involuntarily nervous and helpless.
After composing herself, Ellie hurried to catch up.
Seeing Ellie catching up, Alex looked down and smiled at her without saying anything.
They continued walking in silence until they got into the car.
“Wakeup when we arrive.” Alex adjusted his seat upon getting into the car and lay down.
Ellie glanced at Alex, who was lying in the passenger seat, and remained silent.
Half an hour later, the car parked in the parking lot downstairs in Building 7 of Zerikith.
“Mr. Warren,” Ellie pulled up the handbrake and turned to call Alex, only to find him sleeping soundly.
Just then, Ellie's phone rang.
Seeing Barry's number, Ellie hesitated and then answered the call.
Barry said, “Dr. Thompson, is Mr. Warren with you? I can’t get through to his phone.”
Hearing Barry's anxious voice, Ellie glanced at Alex and said, “His phone is dead. He has just arrived at Zerikith.”
Barry said, “That's good. Mr. Warren hasn't slept for three days. | won't disturb him, then.”
The call ended, and Ellie looked at Alex, who was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat.

The next morning, when Alex woke up in the car, Ellie was already gone.
Seeing Ellie's thin blanket, Alex pondered. He rolled up the blanket and got out of the car with it.
“Mr. Warren.” Barry cto pick him up and go to the company. Then he saw Alex cout of Ellie's car with a
small floral blanket.
Alex said, “Givea few minutes. I'll go upstairs and take a shower.”
More than 20 minutes later, Alex finished showering, changed into a suit, and then went straight to the company.
It was past ten o'clock when Ellie received Alex's call.
She thought Alex had just woken up. “Mr. Warren, just leave the car keys with the guard. I'll get them after
work.”
Alex said, “I brought your car keys to the office this morning. I'll drive your car to pick you up tonight. | have
something for you.”
