Chapter 297 - Protect it with life (1/2)
'Everything would be his, my software and the one who developed the software, that is ME. We'll start a new company together. With the deadly combination of my talent and his sharp business skills, one day we'll create the best IT company'
Alice flicked her hair back and pointed finger blankly into the air, ”Badluck Feng Corporation. You are not going to get Alice, because I'm going to work with my 'Sir''
(At that time Alice was not aware of his name and referred to him as Sir)
Next second her expression changed.
Like a sneaky little cat, she looked here and there, scanned the environment carefully with detective's eyes and went inside her cottage, hiding the diamond box under her arms. 'C'mon Alice, you have to protect it with your life' She talked to herself.
She went to her cottage to get some important things like violin box, laptop given by the man, her software and a small backpack in which she carries important stuff like a knife, pepper spray, lighter, some pins and a diary.
Inside man's cottage, she made sure to lock the door and checked every window before letting her guards down. She heaved a sigh of relief as she thumped on the couch heavily and dusted her hands.
'DINGDONG'
”Huh!” Unknowingly Alice slept on the couch and woke up by the doorbell. Instead of looking at the door her head snapped at the box, she opened the golden box 99th time to see if the diamond is there or not.
'Dingdong! Dingdong!Dingdong!
The person outside the door rung the bell thrice, much to Alice's dismay. ”It looks like his finger got glued to the doorbell” She murmured, hide the diamond box beneath the cushion and rose from the couch but didn't dare to open the door. Not when such a precious thing is under her safekeeping.
Through the door phone, she checked it's the waiter who brought food ordered by the man before leaving. She pressed the button to pass on her instruction, ”Leave the food outside. I'll fetch it in later”
”Mam, are you sure? We always set table for our guests”
”Yes, please. I don't like someone serving me. Thank you!”
The waiter bowed and left the serving trolly outside.
Alice opened the door after assuring that the waiter has left, took the trolly in and set the food on the table.
Like an OCD she checked the diamond box 100th time to make sure nothing happened to it when she went away for some time. What went away? It was barely a few steps.
”Yukk!” She checked the dishes ordered and closed the lid back finding the food too boring for her liking. To satisfy her hunger Alice picked the apple from the fruit basket.
