Chapter 722

Elsbeth looked at the word count in the data column, then glanced out the window. The assistant called her several times, but she seemed not to hear. The assistant could only come to her side and ask, puzzled, “Elizabeth, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go rest for a bit?”

Elizabeth then snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, indicating she wasn’t feeling unwell. She rubbed her temples and said, “You check the data first; I’ll go sit in the break room for a while.” The assistant nodded and watched her leave the lab.

Soon, the lab quieted down, and the assistant was very curious about what was on Elizabeth’s mind. After all, Elizabeth had been fully dedicated to her research these past few days. What could be distracting her now? Could it be Alexander?

Elizabeth sat on the couch in the break room, scrolling through Facebook. Just as she was about to scroll down, Lila sent her a message. Elizabeth clicked on it and frowned, discovering that Lila had sent a screenshot of Alexander’s Facebook. He had posted a location—no text, just a picture. It was a photo overlooking the entire city of Lisbon.

Lila: Alexander is waiting for someone. Could it be…

Elizabeth clicked her tongue. Lila was really smart—so smart that being friends with her meant you couldn’t hide anything from her.

Elizabeth: [He’s waiting for me.]

Lila: [What?]

Elizabeth: (Yes.)

Lila: [It looks like you don’t plan to go.]

Elizabeth: [Yes, but for some reason, I’m a bit annoyed.]

Lila: [What’s wrong? Is it because Alexander is waiting for you, and you can’t calm down?]

Elizabeth was silent. Although she didn’t want to admit it, it was indeed because of Alexander. Because Alexander was waiting for her at the Emerald Skyscraper and said, “If you don’t come, I won’t leave.” Elizabeth was extremely annoyed at this.

Lila sent another message: [Follow your heart. Don’t make it hard on yourself.]

Chapter 722

Elizabeth pondered the message for a long time. Lila didn’t send any more messages, and Elizabeth knew she was giving her time to think. Elizabeth then threw her phone aside. Just as she did, the phone screen lit up with a call from an unknown number. Elizabeth looked at it for a while, wondering if it was Alexander.

She answered the call, and as soon as she put it to her ear, he said, “Are you really heartless that you won’t come?” Elizabeth looked up, and it was indeed Alexander.

“I already told you, I’m not going,” she refused him again. There were a few seconds of silence on Alexander’s end. “I told you, I’ll wait until you come.”

“Alexander, how is this different from forcing me to go?” Elizabeth added.

“If you want to be heartless, then go ahead.” Then he hung up. Elizabeth had never seen Alexander so shameless. She angrily threw her phone away!

The waiter opened the door to the private room and cautiously asked Alexander, “Mr. Tudor, would you like…” Alexander was a bit dazed that time had passed so quickly. “Yes, please,” he said. The waiter nodded and quickly refilled his cup. He had already waited this long; it would be a shame to give up now. Besides, Alexander had told Elizabeth that if she didn’t come, he wouldn’t leave.
