Alex stood up and held up the folder in his hand. “Joan has a few things to review regarding the design sketch with you.”

“You’re really good at making up extravagant excuses like this!” Paige looked at him in contempt.

Alex frowned, glanced at Caroline, and said, Shall we go somewhere else to talk?”

Paige wanted to decline but could only relent because it was a work issue. “Mr. Jordan, 111 leave Carol’s soup here. Please feed her when she wakes up.”

Paige walked out of the room, followed by Alex.

Paige did not react to Alex holding her hand. She asked only when his movements slowed down, “Have

Alex lowered his gaze to hide the pain in his eyes. He sobbed and said, “Are you really leaving me?”
