24. 2 Swallow Your Tears Back
Everyone in the banquet hall is flabbergasted.
In such a strict and high-end occasion, it was not surprising for a man to save the damsel in distress.
What made everyone’s jaw drop was that this hero who saved a beauty was actually Alex, who had
always been indifferent to women.
Everyone in the upper class knew that Alex was already a father, but his wife was dead. He was a single
father with a pair of dragon and phoenix children.
Even so, With his natural charisma and wealth and power, even if he was married and had children,
there were still countless women who pursued him. They did not care about the taboo of ‘evil
stepmother’ and sharpened their heads, wanting to take down Alex and become the envied Mrs. Laurent
of all women.
However, the beautiful dreams of these women were ultimately smothered on a hot headline three years
ago.
It was said that a famous female host did not hesitate to take off her clothes and hide in his car, trying to
seduce him.
Later, she was mercilessly thrown onto the street by Alex. She ran naked in the middle of the night, and
the next day, she made it onto the hot headlines. She was banned by various media outlets and
completely disappeared from R City.
Since then, no woman dared to joke about her own life and future. They were all thinking about Alex.
It was a man that all women could only dream of. He actually ignored everyone’s gazes and rushed to
the front of all the people present, holding a woman who had gone overboard!
Even if it was just out of gentlemanly behavior, it still made the eyes of countless young women present
turn red with envy.
Hannah, who was on the same stage as him, was also no exception.
She saw Alex the moment she got on the stage. After that, there were no other men in her eyes. She
wished she could keep staring at him. However, his oppressive and powerful aura forced her to maintain
her manners.
At this moment, Alex actually picked Jessie up. She really wished that the person who fell down was
herself.
She saw Alex carrying Jessie towards the backstage.
How could she bear to let go of this opportunity to get close to him? She quickly walked towards Alex
and revealed a charming smile that she thought was the most charming. She coyly said: “I’m really sorry,
Boss Alex. It was because I didn’t take good care of my companion that she made such a big mistake. I’ll
help her to the backstage to sort it out…”
Who knew that she hadn’t even taken a few steps.
Rip.
Her dress was hung by a comer of the operating table, and her clothes were tom in half. What was even
worse was that she was actually wearing a pair of thong!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer face was red, and she did not forget to look at Alex pitifully. A few tears fell out of her eyes. “Boss
Alex…”
However, Alex didn’t even look at her. He held Jessie tightly and walked towards the backstage calmly.
He did not seem to see her at all.
Hannah did not expect that she would also embarrass herself. She made herself uglier and Alex did not
even look at her. She was immediately embarrassed and angry. She felt the coldness on her butt, and
only then did she remember that she was wearing a thong.
She hurriedly protected herself with all her might, but her hands could not protect her butt and chest at
the same time.
The scene was extremely comical.
Seeing this situation, no matter how serious the scene was, everyone was agitated and in chaos. Even if
there were people who were true gentlemen, they would not dare to go on stage to save the damsel in
distress. They would not dare to provoke a woman who was wearing this kind of clothing. If things went
wrong, even their own reputation would be swept away in one fell swoop.
Yura, who saw this scene from behind, was both angry and angry. Her face was gloomy. She kicked
fiercely at Mike, who was beside her. “What are you still standing there for? Go and get my sister down!”
Mike cared about his own image the most. In this kind of situation, he did not want to go out and make a
fool of himself. But because Hannah was Yura’s biological older sister, he could only wear sunglasses,
take off his suit, and quickly walk up. He wrapped Hannah, whose face was already deathly pale and her
entire body was trembling.
The two of them retumed to Yura, who was alone in the lounge backstage, and shut the door tightly with
a bang.
They originally wanted to let Jessie make a fool of herself and make her lose face so much that she
could not stay in the R City any longer.
In the end, Jessie’s fall was actually her own success. She was actually hugged by the Mumen Group’s
president. This way, she wouldn’t be making a fool of herself. She would become the woman that
everyone in R City wanted to curry favor with the most.
The last clown was Hannah. She had lost all her face and butt. How could she not be angry? At this
moment, she was vomiting blood.
Alex’s legs were big, and Jessie did not have time to think too much. When he picked her up just now,
she instinctively reached out two arms and wrapped them around his neck.
Her wrist was pierced by the short hair at the back of his head from time to time, and her heart kept
beating crazily
The last time she was hugged by a man was six years ago, and she had already forgotten that feeling.
At this moment, she was surrounded by the cool male perfume on Alex’s body and the faint smell of
tobacco and wine. She felt as if she was suffocating. Her face turned red and hot.
She did not dare to look into his eyes at all, and buried her face deep into her own chest.
Her emotions were complicated and torturous.
What this man had done to her before was truly detestable and infuriating. But if it wasn’t for him just
now, she was afraid that she wouldn’t have been able to stay in R City, in the entire barista industry…
She was indeed touched, but she still had to keep a distance from him.
This man looked calm in front of others, but he was actually a bandit. She could never forget his attitude
towards her.
A man who treated women so casually behind his back, no matter how good he was on the surface, she
would always keep a distance from him.
Thus, just as they arrived at a place with no one around, she wanted to jump out of his embrace.
Alex did not insist. He put her down.
Her body was as soft as water. He hugged her in his arms, and the sweet scent of a woman hooked his
heart and soul. The night that he had gone crazy over repeated itself in his mind. It made him want to
strip her naked again and eat her to his heart’s content.
He was also worried that if he continued to hug her like this, the desire that rose in his heart would
become even more uncontrollable, causing her impression of him to become even worse.
Next to him was the dressing room that she had just used.
When she heard her own phone ringing inside, she hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in to pick
u p the call.
She didn’t mind, and Alex followed her in.
The person who called was the store manager, Leny.
Jessie just pressed the answer button. She did not even have the time to speak.
Leny scolded fiercely from the other side, “Jessie, how old are you that you do not know how to walk? Do
you know where you went today? You actually fell on the stage? I told you to go and do art. I didn’t tell
you to fall! Do you know that I was hurt badly by you? If you can’t do it, then don’t do it. If you can’t do it,
why didn’t you tell me in advance? Good, now we are all finished!”
Jessie was scolded by her until her face was covered in dirt, and her heart was even more upset.
But she was indeed the one who messed up the matter, and even the store manager was blamed by the
headquarters. Jessie felt very guilty.
“Sorry…” Other than these three words, Jessie did not know what else to say. She was powerless and
dispirited to the extreme.
“What’s the use of saying sorry now!? Let’s just wait and leave together!” Leny’s tone was irritable.
Jessie’s nose felt sore and her eyes were slightly red. She took a deep breath and said, “I will go to the
headquarters myself and tell them that I messed up the matter. I will bear all the responsibility and
resign. Store Manager, you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m really sorry, I’m sorry!”
After hanging up the phone, Jessie lowered her head, raised her hand, and wiped away the tears that
came out of her eyes.
To be able to settle down in Louisdin and become barista, Jessie had put in a lot more effort than those
professional barista who had a better family background and could go abroad to specialize in this trip.
Although Mike and his mother had always looked down on her work, she had always been proud of it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor so many years, other than taking care ofLinda, she had devoted all her efforts to this job. She had
divorced, her home was gone, her heart had ached, she had been angry, and she had been resentful,
but she had never been so desperate.
That was probably the feeling of dying in her heart.
The lecture on the phone was very loud. Alex was far away, but he also heard it clearly.
She was wrapped in a big suit, only revealing her white and straight legs. She looked more and more
slender.
She leaned against the dressing table, her head hanging low. He only saw a row of neat black bangs.
When she raised her hand to wipe her face, he saw that she was crying.
This was the first time he saw a woman crying without any sound.
But it just so happened that it was precisely these tears that silently and forcefully endured, like the
toughest sword, that instantly shattered the outer shell of his hard heart, and it was like an invisible hand
had touched the softest part of his heart.
He frowned slightly and looked around the room, yet he couldn’t find what he wanted. He turned his head
and asked her in a deep voice, “Do you have a spare dress?”
The voice only woke Jessie up and she only remembered that there was another person here.
She thought that he asked about the clothes to take back his suit. She used more strength to wipe her
face clean and quickly went to get her own coat and apologized in a low voice. “I’m sorry, I’ll return the
clothes t o you immediately.”
As she spoke, she went into the changing room and changed her clothes not long after.
She walked out and handed the suit to him. She felt awkward and her expression was a little
uncomfortable: “I’m sorry, I’ll retum your clothes to you. Today… Thank you!”
“Other than saying sorry and taking the initiative to resign, what else do you know? Hm?” Alex took the
suit and threw it on the chair beside him. He stared at her coldly.
Jessie could hear the ridicule in his words. She bit her lip, tumed around, and carried her own bag as she
silently walked towards the door.
Now she was indeed a big joke. She deserved to be the one to laugh.
Alex sighed. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her back. He pushed her back into the chair and
said, “The banquet is not over yet. Why are you backing down? Useless!”
He took out his phone and dialed a number. He looked at her again. “Swallow your tears back. You
prepare to go on stage again and turn the situation around”
The man’s deep voice was filled with intimidation and calmness that allowed him to control the entire
situation, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
Jessie was still in a daze.
He was already giving orders to the person on the other end of the phone, “In the lounge on the right,
bring Leo over. Let him bring a few sets of young women’s dresses.” Pausing, his eyes that were as
black as the night fell on her body to examine her, “I want white series: 36, 24, 36, 1. 69.” This time
Jessie completely understood. He actually reported her height and size.
