Chapter 193:

Alicia lowered her head slightly, murmuring: It's okay. In bed, Caden was the epitome of a gentleman - intense but considerate, always making sure of her comfort.

She was really impressed.

Monica noticed her blush and laughed. . If he's so attentive in bed, he must have feelings for you.

Alicia was surprised and quickly shook her head. Their relationship had never entered the romantic realm, it was strictly physical.

Why else would he continue supporting you. Monica asked.

We have an agreement, Alicia responded.

But Joshua is no longer in the photo, Monica pointed out. Do you remember how Caden kissed you drunk? I doubt he sees you only as a business partner, Monica challenged.

Alicia felt insecure.

Monica was right

She was right. Deeper feelings develop for her

Monica became more animated. I can't stand this. I need to find a handsome boy to cheer up my night.

Alicia nodded. Try to find someone with experience but still a virgin, he suggested.

Forget it. Finding a virgin nowadays is more difficult than finding an alien, Monica sighed.

After dinner, they went shopping. Shortly after, Monica's phone rang with a call from the laboratory.

Have you brought out some medicine. Someone is making it difficult for me.

Monica stepped away and whispered: I'll be right back to explain everything to you. .

Alicia expressed her concern. Everything's going well

Trying not to alarm Alicia, Monica downplayed the situation. It's just a small problem with my coursework. My teacher is waiting for me.

The explanation went well, and Alicia suspected that nothing was wrong.

Alicia took out her phone. I'll call you a taxi.

After Monica left, Alicia decided to visit Caden's company. As she turned to leave, a men's scarf in a shop window caught her eye.

The simple design and elegant color of the scarf immediately made her think of Caden, who rarely wore a scarf to his office. despite the cold Warrington winters.

On impulse, she bought the scarf.

Arriving at the company, Alicia found Caden busy in a meeting.

Hank approached her with a cheerful air. Miss Bennett, you're here to eat with Mr. Ward.

Alicia smiled, shaking her head. No, I came for something else.

The details of the product are on the table in Mr. Ward's office. He'll be busy for a while. Why don't you wait there, Hank suggested.

Alicia nodded.

Aware of the sensitivity of the information, she asked, Is it okay if I use Caden's computer?

Of course, Hank answered without hesitation, since the investment in the development of the product was mainly for Alicia.

Calm, Alicia entered the office to access the product file.

He sat down and began to make various adjustments.

Half an hour He passed quickly.

Alicia looked at the door, but there was still no sign of Caden.

Holding the scarf, she allowed herself a tender smile, thinking about giving it to him. They rarely exchanged gifts despite their numerous intimate moments.

Surprisingly, she felt more nervous about this gesture than any of their previous encounters.

Determining to give him a subtle surprise, He decided to hide the handkerchief in a place where he could easily find it. She opened a drawer to place it inside, but her attention was caught by a document labeled Health Report.

Driven by curiosity, she couldn't resist picking it up to read it.

The report It detailed Caden's health, stating that he was in good condition and that his illness was under control.

His expression hardened as he took in the information. She had never heard of such an unusual illness, which explained certain aspects of his behavior that had puzzled her.

The report also mentioned that Caden had stopped taking his medication months ago, which was consistent with the improvements during the times they had been intimate.

Realizing that the dates coincided with their encounters, she felt a chill.

She realized that Caden's methodical relationship with her , the sudden Business opportunities and her persistent attention were not mere coincidences, but were motivated by his health needs.

She was the involuntary solution to his medical problem, nothing more.

The A deep sense of betrayal invaded. He carefully put the report back in the drawer, his heart sinking at the realization. A deep sadness invaded her, as if her heart had been pierced, leaving a void full of coldness.
