And in the evening, it began to rain heavily, and the soundproofing of the rented room was poor. The sound of the rain all night long made it hard for her to sleep well.
During work in the morning, Brother Kuan walked out of the office and said to Mabel Quinn, "Mabel, Director Howards wants you to go to his place."
"Huh?" Mabel was stunned for a mont and reflexively looked at Alice Conley sitting next to her, instinctively suspecting that Brother Kuan might have called the wrong person. If Dorian Howards really wanted to call soone, it should probably be Alice.
Many colleagues in the studio also turned their gaze to Alice Conley. After all, they didn’t know that Alice and Dorian had completely fallen out; they only knew that Alice and Dorian had an unusual relationship, especially since Director Howards himself ca to the studio last ti and took Alice away.
But Alice Conley showed no unusual expression, continuing to work as if she heard nothing.
"Brother Kuan, is Director Howards really asking for ?" Mabel Quinn confird.
"Yes, here’s the address." Brother Kuan handed a note with an address on it to Mabel. She took a look and saw it wasn’t the address of Howards Corporation’s building but looked more like a residential address.
"And, go now," Brother Kuan added.
Mabel Quinn then packed up her things, picked up her bag, said a word to Alice Conley, and left the studio.
As soon as Mabel left, Indigo Quigley started clamoring again, "I’m telling you, Alice Conley, don’t be too easygoing, dumbly treating others as your bestie, and then turning around to find your man taken by that bestie. These things happen a lot these days."
Alice Conley rolled her eyes and said directly, "If you’re trying to sow discord, you might as well save it. Have you had too many boyfriends stolen by your besties, or have you stolen too many of your besties’ boyfriends? Why is your mind so dark?"
Indigo Quigley, exasperated, said, "I’m kindly reminding you, but you’re just taking a good heart for a donkey’s liver!"
Alice Conley dug at her ears, "I really don’t need your ’kindness.’ You’d better watch out yourself so that your boyfriend doesn’t get stolen by your bestie later."
Indigo Quigley trembled with anger but seed a bit at a loss with Alice Conley. Although Alice was just an ordinary citizen, she had so connection with Dorian Howards, and Alice herself wasn’t soone to take a loss quietly.
So Indigo could only stew in her own anger, and Alice picked up her teacup and walked toward the break room. But upon entering the break room, Alice’s expression turned somber.
Dorian Howards... that na is still a kind of pain to think about. Ever since that ti at the tavern, he hasn’t appeared before her since. So this ti, they really have nothing more to do with each other. He won’t show up in front of her like that, calling her Alice anymore, nor will he smile gently at her, clinging shalessly.
She should be happy; her goal was achieved, so she shouldn’t cry.
Alice kept telling herself this over and over again, but tears still fell uncontrollably into the teacup...

Mabel Quinn followed the address on the note and arrived in front of a villa. After pressing the doorbell, it was Dorian Howards who personally ca to open the door. Upon seeing her, Dorian seed to breathe a sigh of relief, "You finally made it, thank heavens."
