Chapter 166
Alex scrunched his brows. He did not want to meet Kate at first, but what Jessica said next changed hismind, “Kate is negotiating with the Hale family for a big project. She is kind of intimidated by them,especially since the Hale’s have purposely made things difficult for her. She wants to ask you foradvice.”
“The Hale family?” Alex was startled. “You tell her to wait for a while. I will ask my driver to accompanyher.”
Leo was one of their friends from university. Logically speaking, he would not deliberately make troublefor Kate unless he held a grudge against her.
“Okay.” Jessica nodded and left the place.
“The director wants you to wait downstairs. He said he will send his driver to accompany you,” Jessicaspoke to Kate.
Kate was slightly disappointed but still she said nothing and left.
In actual fact, she wanted
thank the Director in person for stepping in last night to save her and Heather Perhaps she just had toput this off to another day.novelbin
Kate returned to her office. After retrieving all her documents, she headed downstairs right away.
Very soon, Alex appeared at the entrance with his car.
Kate entered the car with a contemptuous look.
“Why didn’t you show up last night when I texted you? Aren’t you worried that your wife would be takenadvantage of?” Kate questioned Alex scornfully.
“I really didn’t see your message. Moreover, by the time I saw your text, Heather had already goneback,” Alex muttered nonchalantly and set off for the Hale family’s company.
Kate shook her head in despair. Heather sure is unlucky to have stumbled upon a man like Alex! If itweren’t for the Director last night, the both of us would have….
Kate did not dare to continue on with that line of thought. She plugged in her earphones to distractherself from her own thoughts.
After a while, she removed her earphones and said, “Has the Director told you? You have toaccompany me to meet Leo later.”
“Huh? The Director didn’t tell me that. I will just wait for you downstairs. If you need me, just call me ortext me. I will head up right away,” Alex replied.
Kate furrowed her brows. Alex had offended Leo the other day. If Leo saw him, he would definitely flyoff the handle.
Additionally, Kate knew Leo had a thing for her. Even though they were classmates back in college,Kate did not trust Leo. All the turbulent years spent in Nebula City had taught her one thing. That is, notto simply place her trust in anyone.
“Alright then. But this time round, please keep your eyes on your phone. Or else, you will get it from mewhen I’m back,” Kate warned Alex sternly.
“Don’t worry. As long as I am around, no one can hurt you.” Alex smiled sheepishly.
Before Kate could reply, the car had already arrived at the Hale’s company building.
Somehow, Kate still had faith in Alex’s capabilities.
In terms of combat ability, Alex was only second to the Director despite how useless he was.

She tidied up her hair and got off the car with her documents in one hand. She then headed straight forthe building’s entrance.
Watching Kate sauntered towards the entrance, Alex rubbed his chin as he ogled at Kate’s slenderfigure.
Wow, Kate sure has an amazing body!
Alex lit a cigarette and smoked while he waited for Kate’s message.
Meanwhile, Kate was already inside Leo’s office.
“Hey Kate, you’re here. Why didn’t you give me a phone call earlier? I could have fetched you myself.”Leo’s eyes instantly sparkled when he saw Kate.
