Chapter 33 Stay with Me
Having cried and vented her feelings, Cynthia pushed him away and stared at him with her eyes that were red and swollen. It was a bit embarrassing to think of their current relationship. "Are you hurt!"
Alston looked at her gently and shook, "I'm ok, I wasn't there when the earthquake happened. I accidentally dropped my mobile phone while running, so I didn't receive your call."
As they were talking, a sunny and lively voice suddenly came out from behind.
"Alston, this must be Cynthia!"
Cynthia looked at him, it was a young man in his twenties who looked handsome and confident. He had perfect teeth and pretty dimples while he smiled, which made people feel friendly and warm. "Lucien Williams. How do you do? You look beautiful as Alston mentioned."
He actually mentioned her to Lucien?
Cynthia turned to Alston with an expression of surprise.
Alston was embarrassed and introduced, "This is the heir of the Williams family."
The Williams family had won the bidding of the Smith Group before. Alston was inspecting the project in
Orleans with Lucien during his business trip here.
Lucien was very outgoing, he enjoyed talking with Cynthia.
Although Cynthia just cried, she was still amused by his sense of humor.
Alston was relieved to see that her mood eased a lot, but he felt very uncomfortable when they were talking happily. He frowned and stared at Lucien.
How could she smile so beautifully at other men!
Lucien suddenly shuddered, as if being targeted by some beast.
"Mr. Smith, the plane is ready to go back to Fort." Greg came with others. Although the earthquake had passed, there was still the risk of aftershocks in Orleans, and they had to hurry.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they reached Fort. Alston was about to help Cynthia get off
the plané when he was hugged by someone.
Hulda fell into Alston's arms and hugged his waist. Her voice choked, "You're finally back, Alston. I'm so worried about you. It's great that you're not injured."
Alston wanted to push her away, but she held him even tighter. Hulda whispered in his ear, "Don't do that, I
was followed by Uncle Clare's people."
Alston had no choice but to hold her.
Cynthia was so mad to see them hugging that she scratched her palm.
Hulda smiled proudly in his arms before she pretend to cry.
It's late autumn, and she's still wearing a thin skirt. When she cried, her thin shoulders floated slightly, and
she looked adorable.
Cynthia smiled sarcastically, ignored Alston and got off the plane on her own.
"You are so worried, why don't you go and look for him yourself!"
Hulda stopped crying, she knew Cynthia was embarrassing her. She hated her very much, but she didn't reveal it.
She wiped her tears gracefully, "As Alston's personal assistant, I know my duty and his concerns. Keeping the company function in order while he's absent is the best I can do."
She was such a hypocrite who was good at making excuses.
Cynthia stepped forward and pulled her away from Alston, "You shouldn't have any personal feelings for your
boss, business is business. Don't you understand?"
Hulda grabbed her skirt at a loss, and made a pitiful expression on her face. It's like Cynthia was being harsh to her.
"Alston, I think Cynthia misunderstood me. I was just too worried about you to control my emotions. I'm sorry, I won't be so impulsive next time."
Cynthia had been busy all day and hadn't eaten or rested.
Alston didn't want to waste such a long time on Hulda, but he had to act this way in case people of Uncle. Clare found something. He turned to Cynthia, "I'll go to the company first with her, you go home and rest, Cynthia."
He was indifferent to her in front of Hulda while they were so close in Orleans.
Hulda and he were like a couple, Cynthia felt she was like the third wheel.
Somehow she wanted to say something for herself.
"Alston, I'm a little scared today, I want you to stay with me!" Cynthia looked at her and said softly.
