Ecstacy of the Heart

Chapter 15 Congratulations

“It’s okay.” Allison’s concentration was all on the ring and she did not notice Renata’s change. “Alice,

you’ve gotten married? When did that happen?” Renata tilted her head and asked due to curiosity.

During her internship in the company, she had had a basic understanding about everyone in the

department. Allison was always single before and she did not have any boyfriend. Now that she had

suddenly worn a wedding ring, she was feeling weird.

Allison also knew what happened to her was weird, yet she could not possibly tell the truth. Plus, even

if she did say she had had a blind date with the Mr. President of the Parker Group and was chosen by

him, nobody would have believed her. After a moment of thought, she gave a short reply. “I met my

partner through a blind date, which happened only two days ago.” She then lowered her head and

continued diving into her work. Seeing Allison did not speak any further, Renata no longer asked

anything.

When around twenty minutes had passed, Allison finally completed her work for the transition process.

She printed out the documents and passed them to Renata. “Thank you, Alice.” Renata held the

documents in her arms and said sweetly. She glanced at the time and realized it was already lunch

time. She then said to Allison, “Alice, I still have something that I’m not familiar with. How about this, we

could have lunch together and you could explain it to me one more time.” Afraid that Allison would © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

refuse, she then said, “I’m so scared I’ll make a mistake. If so I won’t be able to complete my

internship.” She frowned and stared at Allison with a pitiful look. Allison did not have the reason to

reject her when she saw that, she then agreed to her request.

They then arrived at the International Hotel of City J. “Renata, are we having lunch here?” The

International Hotel was the hotel with the highest standard in the whole City J, no matter the furnishing

or the food. It was not a place where ordinary people could randomly enter. Renata was leading the

way in front of her; hearing her words, she turned around and held her arms while saying with a smile,

“Yes. I’ve booked a suite just now.”

“But, won’t it be too expensive?” Allison still felt slightly inappropriate. They were just having a meal,

should they be that lavish? “Alice, I want to thank you for the care you always gave me. Plus, I’ve

already booked it, it would be a waste of money if we don’t eat there.” As she spoke, she unconsciously

tightened her grasp on Allison’s wrist, as if she was afraid she would run away. Allison’s attention was

all on how much it would cost on the meal and she did not notice Renata’s little action at all. Seeing

Allison no longer spoke, Renata quickly dragged her inside.

After entering the suite, Allison was once again amazed by the standard of the hotel. The suite was

decorated lavishly as if it was laid with shiny gold. Allison looked at Renata with a conjecture look. She

then asked after some moment of thought, “Renata, could it be that you’re actually rich?” Being thrown

that question, Renata smiled and did not reply, as if she had admitted. Seeing that, Allison was slightly

relieved. If Renata was any normal person, she would definitely not have the meal there. After all,

having a meal that cost a month or two salary was too unworthy.

“Alice, come sit here. What do you want to eat?” Renata sat beside her and handed the menu to her.

Allison took it over and the moment she opened it, her eyes browsed through the price behind each

dish. She could not help but draw a cold breath. After a brief look through, she noticed even the

cheapest dish cost thousands. Were they eating gold?

“Renata, I think we should go to other place.” The price on top made her felt uncomfortable. Yet Renata

took the menu from her hand with a smile on her face and said, “Alice, I’ve said that this meal is my

treat, you don’t have to worry about it.” She flipped through the menu while making orders with the

waiter at the side.

It was at that moment Allison suddenly felt an urge to pee. She went to the only toilet in the suite and

when she came out, some appetizers and drinks had been placed on the table. The moment she sat

down, Renata raised the fruit juice in her hand at her and said, “Alice, congratulations once again for

the promotion!” Allison was touched by her heartwarming action. She then casually took the juice

beside her and clinked glasses with Renata. “Thank you, Renata.” After taking a sip, she put down the

glass.

Renata was staring at her all the time. Noticing she only took one sip, she was slightly anxious. She

then gulped down the juice in her hand, raised her empty glass at her and said, “Alice, do finish it. It’s

to congratulate you being promoted after all!” Being persuaded by her and thought the juice was

different from wine since it would only make her stomach full, she did not think any further and once

again drank all the juice that was left. Realizing Allison had fallen into the trap, the corner of Renata’s

lips curved and she glimpsed at the time without notice.
