The president's seventh bride

Chapter 30: Secretary and Lover



Alicia let out a long sigh of relief as she heard the footsteps going away, stretched herself, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Carlos' passport on the bedside table. She hurriedly took it in her hand and chased him.

She finally would have some quiet days. She hoped that the trip won't be canceled because he forgot to bring his passport.

Because it was too early, there were only three or two servants downstairs cleaning up. Seeing her coming downstairs, they respectfully nodded, "Good morning, Mrs. Alicia."

She hurriedly greeted and rushed out of the living room, but unfortunately, the car had already driven away.

She ran to catch up, waving the passport and shouting, "Wait..."

Carlos closed his eyes and catnapped. He vaguely heard Alicia's voice, so he glanced through the rearview mirror at random. It was really Alicia who chased behind. He immediately said, "Stop."

The car stopped. He pushed open the door and got out of the car. He leaned against the car with his arms around his chest, looking at the panting woman in front of him, and jokingly said, "Don't want me to go?"

Alicia gave him an angry glance, and stuffed his passport into his arms, "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Just after the words stopped, a man appeared who was well-featured, gentle and respectful, and asked with a smile, "Is this the new Mrs. Noel-Baker?"

Alicia nodded suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Oh, my name is Alex Henderson, and I'm Carlos' secretary and lover. It's our first meeting. Nice to meet you."

"Lover?"

Alicia got a fright, and she was petrified on the spot. She stared at Carlos, thinking that he would deny it, but she didn't expect him to sit back in the car instead of denying it.

"Mrs. Noel-Baker, I have stretched my hand for a long time."

Alex reminded in embarrassment, then Alicia shook hands with him reluctantly.

"Well, we are in a hurry to go to the airport, so we'll go first."

"Wait."

Alicia stopped him and asked in a deep voice, "What is the relationship between you two?"

Alex looked back at Carlos and quietly replied, "To tell the truth, we are gay."

She didn't believe it. She went to the window and bent down to ask the man in the car, "Didn't you say you are not gay?"

Carlos ignored her question and glanced at Alex, "Aren't you getting in the car?"

Alex immediately got into the car and waved his hand, "Mrs. Noel-Baker, don't worry. He won't be lonely with me by his side..."

It made Alicia's toes curl. The car drove away. The dust raised in the air made her nauseous. In fact, she was not sure whether she was nauseous because of the dust, or Alex's words that he won't make Carlos lonely.

No wonder he hated women so much. He liked men. She asked him at first but he didn't admit, now he didn't deny it. Her head spun dizzily, and she never thought that what should she do if Carlos was gay? When she got home listlessly, Aurora had already gotten up and was strolling in the garden outside. When Aurora saw her look depressed and worried, she rushed forward and asked, "Alicia, what's wrong?"
