Chapter 456 Alexander’s Thoughts
This way, it could be considered the best outcome after all.
About going to the border, Stanley never got back to me. I had no job, no friends, nowhere to go, and
could only stay in Alexander’s house all day, staring blankly and reading books.
Seeing how bored I was, one evening, he finally dragged me aside and said, “I’ve never seen anyone
waste time like you. Come on, I’ll take you out for something delicious.”
I had no interest in anything, all I could think about was how to go back to the border, risking my life to
seek justice for those who had died.
Alexander didn’t care about all these, he dragged me directly to a newly opened restaurant, ordered
some delicious food, and insisted that I try it. I didn’t have much appetite, after a few bites, I lost
interest in eating.
Seeing this, he was speechless, propping his chin and looking at me, saying, “Sister, this table of food
cost me quite a bit of money. At least eat a few bites seriously. If you don’t want to eat, you can give me
back the money, so I don’t have to feel bad about the money.”
As for me now, I didn’t have any money, of course he knew that. He was merely trying to force me to
eat more.
Knowing his thoughts, I picked up my chopsticks and ate a few more bites.
“Huh…” A voice came from the entrance, “Mr. Borseth, what a coincidence, you’re here too?”

It was a middle-aged man with a beer belly, whom I didn’t recognize. Alexander turned around, raised
an eyebrow, and said, “Old Li, are you here for dinner too?”
The middle-aged man nodded, walked in, and looked at us, saying, “I just came out with the chairman
to discuss some matters, Mr. Borseth, is this… your girlfriend?”
Nature was asking me.
Alexander shook his head, “My own sister.”
“Mr. Borseth also has a sister, my apologies, my apologies.” The man bowed his hands in
embarrassment, said a few words to Alexander, mostly polite words. Judging from his tone and
demeanor, he seemed somewhat familiar with Alexander.
Watching the man leave, I turned to Alexander and asked, “Your friend?”
He nodded, “I had dealt with him abroad before, and only recently found out that he had also returned
to China. He is in charge of R&D projects at the Hinton Group. I had met him twice before. He just
returned to China and is not very familiar with the situation here.”
So, the chairman he mentioned from the Hinton Group, wasn’t that Walter?
I grunted in response and didn’t ask any more.
I lowered my head and took a few bites of the food on the table. Seeing him staring at me, I initially
wanted to ignore it, but in the end, I put down my chopsticks, looked at him speechlessly and asked,
“What do you want to say?”
He propped his chin with both hands, looking at me and said, “Aren’t you planning to go over and say
hello to Walter?”

I looked up at him, frowning, “Alexander, you’re very boring.”
He smirked, his laughter low and sly, “Not really, I just wanted to alleviate your lovesickness.”
I stood up and said, “I’m full, let’s go, it’s time to go back.”
Before I could step out, he pulled me back to my seat. He patted my shoulder and said, “I was just
talking casually, why are you reacting so much?”
I looked up at him, raising an eyebrow, “You don’t want Marjorie to marry him, so you want me to assert
my presence in front of Walter?”
He flinched, avoiding my gaze, and sat back down in his seat. He said indifferently, “What use is it
whether I want to or not? It won’t change anything. But what about you? Are you really just going to
watch them get married?”
I pursed my lips, remaining silent.
He looked at me, seemingly lost in thought, then suddenly stood up and said, “Let’s go. Since you want
to go back, I won’t stop you anymore.”
I frowned, looking at him with some confusion. He, with a face of indifference, said, “What are you
looking at? Didn’t you say you were already full? Isn’t it boring to just sit here staring at each other?”
I didn’t talk much with him, I originally had no intention to go out.
I got up and followed him out of the box, but after only a few steps, he pulled me into another box. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Old Li, still drinking?” As he entered the private room, he looked at the beer-bellied man sitting next to
Walter and started to speak with a smile, “We’ve finished eating, just came to say hi, we’re leaving
now!”

Alter speaking, he put on a surprised look as if he had just seen Walter, and said, “Oh, Mr. Hinton is
here too. What a coincidence.”
Old Li saw that everyone knew each other, and watched Alexander jokingly speak in official jargon.
Walter turned his gaze towards me, his dark eyes deep and profound. I looked but did not see,
indifferently allowing Alexander to lead me away, listening dispassionately to his small talk with Old Li.
“Since Mr. Borseth is here, why don’t we have a drink before leaving?” Walter suddenly spoke, glancing
indifferently at Alexander.
Upon hearing this, Alexander grinned and said, “Since Mr. Hinton has spoken, how could I possibly
refuse? Of course, I’ll have a drink with you.”
