Chapter 404: The man's irritation was clear.
"What are you implying?" Alicia was about to respond, but suddenly, a commanding voice cfrom behind her.
"Exactly what she said.
Is that so hard to understand?" Startled, Alicia turned around.
It was Caden.
He stood there in a black shirt, his presence imposing.
As he spoke, he had already approached from behind, his tall figure casting a shadow over her.
The man recognized Caden immediately and froze, taken aback.
Seeing Caden stand up for Alicia, the man quickly realized his mistake.
His voice trembled as he addressed him.
"Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWard..." Caden's response was cold and detached.
"You recognize me? Am I qualified to touch this screen?" The man visibly shook, clearly rattled.
"Mr.
Ward, I didn't realize she was your..." "My what? Did she say anything aboutbefore coming in?" Caden interrupted, his tone sharp.
The room was filled with influential figures.
Alicia had earned her place among them purely on her own merits.
As the tension escalated, the man looked like he might break into tears.
Thankfully, the event organizer stepped in at that moment.
"Mr.
Ward! Mr.
Ward..." The organizer hurried over, trying to defuse the situation.
"I apologize for the poor service.
Please don't be upset.
We've been understaffed recently, and this person was mistakenly hired.
He will be let go immediately!" Caden's attention shifted to the high-end screen on display.
He turned to Alicia and asked, "Do you like it?” Understanding his intentions, Alicia responded without hesitation, “No.
Don't buy it." Caden then turned to the organizer.
"Is it for sale?" The organizer's face stiffened.
"There's no need to buy it.
It's a gift for you, Mr.
Ward.
We'll have it delivered to your headquarters in Warrington." Alicia was taken aback.
As the capitalistic giant at the top of the pyramid, Caden's actions were no different from those of a self-serving rogue.
Caden scribbled an address for the organizer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Send it here.
It's for my pet to watch cartoons." He handed over the address to his m Caddre apartment. Alicia was left speechless once again.
Caden was acting unreasonably.
Yet, in this situation, Alicia couldn't afford to lose her composure. The N content is on novelenglish.net!
Once they were outside, she lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you vel spend so much on that?" Caden raised an eyebrow.
"It's my money, Ms.
Bennett.
There's no need for you to be concerned." Alicia couldn't cup with a retort.
He was right.
Besides, he had bought it for his pet.
His reasoning was flawless, leaving her no opportunity to argue.
An awkward silence followed.
