Second Marriage

Chapter 548 The Mystery Express

Winnie was happy that Alice praised her, because Alice’s excellent achievement had reached the level

of the idol for her.

But she was sad that Kennedy rejected her work. As long as he did not admit that her design works

reached his level, she could not be in charge of this order.

And she could not get bonus.

This was why Winnie was sad.

Hearing that, Alice paused at turning pages. She closed the folder and said after a moment of thinking,

“Did he reject you face to face?”

Winnie shook her head, “No, I even did not see him. His assistant told me that Mr. Kennedy is not This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

satisfied with these works and told me not to use inferior work to deceive them. So I brought it here to

let you see if I am that bad.”

“No, you are good.” Alice shook her head, facing Winnie, “I told you this order is big and it certainly will

be more difficult than any other order, even I can’t handle it.”

“Yes.”

“So, you have to have a lot of patience to get it done. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I think the

process is enough to grow you.”

Kennedy was not engaged in their industry, but he was picky but accurate, it was good for Winnie to

learn some experiences.

“Okay, I get it. I'll get back to designing.”

“Well, go ahead.”

After Winnie left, Yanis gathered the suit and looked at Alice with melancholy eyes, “You know she will

not succeed, why do you still let her to take this contract? I think it’d better that we breached the

contract and it would not be so annoying.”

“If we could break the contract, it would not be as troublesome as now.”

Alice twisted her eyebrows. She had no idea how long Kennedy would entwine.

The picture of last night at the party was vivid in her eyes, the words he had said to her ear, the hot

kisses, the intimate gestures played over and over again in her mind.

Although she did not want to be with him, she still thought of him.

Because the identity of Alice had been exposed, the company came a lot of customers with the

intention of cooperation this day. Yanis sorted out her mood and received them, she was so tired after

working for a day.

“If we had known there would be so many orders after the party, we should have had a party when we

got back to B City.”

Alice, “... It was a bit overwhelming to have so many people here at once.”

After the time after work, Alice, with her face slightly changed, urged Yanis, “Hurry to pack up things,

we need to pick up Jack.”

Yanis hurried to pick up things, put on Zain's suit and followed Alice out.

On the way home, Jack could not help but exclaim when he saw the suit on Yanis.

“Yanis, is that my uncle's suit you're wearing?”

Hearing that, Yanis mercilessly stared at him, “How do you know that?”

Jack embraced Yanis’ arm, “Are you going to be my aunt?”

Yanis rolled her eyes to the sky, “I want to, but, unfortunately, your uncle doesn’t want to.”

She did not want to admit it before, because she felt shy, but Zain now knew her mind and reject her on

the spot, so Yanis did not care it anymore.

Hearing that, Alice could not help laughing, “She is not your aunt now, but she may be your future

aunt.”

Yanis glared at her.

Three people talked and laughed together back to the community. When they passed the community

property management, a man told them there was an express for them.

Yanis volunteered to take it. As she picked up the box, the residential property management joked,

“What is it, it smells bad.”

“Nothing, I bought some ingredients online, it may smell not good.” Yanis sucked her nose and it did

smell bad.

Weird, what was going on?

“What's the matter?”

Standing at the door, Alice asked. Yanis came to her mind and walked out holding the box.

“Nothing, I bought ingredients online, it may smell bad. Let's go back and have a look. If there is a

problem, I will ask the owner to give me a full refund.”

“Ok.”

The elevator was a closed space, and they lived in high floor, so when they got into the elevator, other

residents frequently cast strange eyes toward them. Alice frowned at the box in the hands of Yanis.

It did smell bad.

Was it rotten?

Under pressure, they finally got home. Yanis got in and put the box on the ground. She said “You two

don't touch it. I get a knife to open it. I want to see if the owner delivered rotten ingredients to me, it

smells so bad. I was almost death in the elevator. I can't believe I bought it.”

Alice did not think much, nodded and went upstairs. As she put down her bag and was ready to change

her clothes, downstairs came a scream.

It was a loud and creepy scream.

Alice was stunned and then rushed downstairs, only to find Yanis squatting there motionless.

“What's the matter?” Alice walked forward quickly, but after a few steps, she suddenly stopped, like a

crash. Two people were fixed there.

There was an eerie silence in the living room.

Alice looked at the open box with a pale face and uncertain eyes.

“What's wrong, Yanis?” Jack, who had just gone upstairs, strolled downstairs at this time. Seeing both

of them standing there in a daze, he stepped forward.

Alice’s face changed and she suddenly shouted, “Go back!”

Jack's step paused.

“Mommy?”

He stood in place, tilted his head looking at Alice, puzzled.

Alice looked at the box with unsteady breathing.

“Go back upstairs, and don't come out until I tell you.”

Jack was curious, but he nodded and then turned back to his room upstairs.

After making sure that Jack had been back to his room, Alice felt finally relieved.

By this time, Yanis turned to her with a pale face.

“Alice, Alice, what should we do?”
