âWhy do you go to see him?â Alondra was a little surprised. âIâve never met that man, but I heard that his background is not simple.â
Alana answered, âDonât worry about that. I have my plans.â
After Alondra left, Alana told Quentin that she had to leave the hospital for a few hours.
Quentin said, âMs. Lane, your injury has healed, but youâre still pretending to be ill, so you must be careful not to be suspected, or the consequences will be disastrous.â
âIâll pay attention.â Alana touched Quentinâs finger and smiled coquettishly. âYou can rest assured.â
âThatâs good.â
Quentin took the opportunity to grab Alanaâs hand and sniff it greedily.
Alana was Abelâs fiancée, so he did not dare to act excessively unless Alana took the initiative.
Alana changed out of her hospital gown and left while wearing a mask.
She did not go directly to Adam but to her designated beauty club. She took a fragrant milk bath, then did skin care. After a whole set of procedures, Alana had become a silky beauty.
Then, the beautician started to apply foreign makeup and eyelashes to Alana.
When Alanaâs chauffeur delivered Alanaâs sports car and clothes, Alanaâs makeup was completed.
Looking at her charming self in the mirror, Alana believed she could attract Adam.
All men like women, let alone a charming woman like me.
She knew where Adam was, so she drove over without informing him.
Half an hour later, the Imperial Palace.
Alana went all the way up the elevator to the top floor. When she left the elevator, she was stopped by several bodyguards, âYou canât come here! Go down immediately!â
Alana said softly, âSir, you know that. Iâm Mr. Adamâs guest. I was here last time.â
âYou canât go in without Mr. Adamâs order!â The bodyguard responded coldly.
âOkay, please inform him that Alana is here.â
The bodyguard pondered, then nodded. âYou wait here.â
The bodyguards did not know the relationship between Alana and Adam. Instead of driving her away, it was better to notify Adam of her coming.
The bodyguard went to the depths of the corridor, then stood in front of the carved wooden door. After knocking on the door, the bodyguard said, âMr. Adam, Ms.
Alana wants to see you.â
âAlana?â Adamâs cold voice came from inside. âWhy doesnât she stay in the hospital?â
âDo I need to drive her away?â
âLet her wait and come in again after an hour.â
âYes, Mr. Adam.â The wooden door closed.
The bodyguard returned and told Adamâs words to Alana.
âWait an hour?â
Alanaâs expression darkened. She did not expect Adam to embarrass her. But after thinking about it, it was better than driving her away and not seeing her.
âOkay, Iâll wait here,â Alana answered the bodyguard.
The bodyguard ignored her and let her walk back and forth at the elevator entrance in high heels.
After waiting an hour, Alana asked the bodyguard again, âCan I see Mr. Adam now?â
The bodyguard went to the door to ask for instructions, then returned and said, âYou may go inside now.â
Alana tidied her hair, then went to the luxurious wooden door.
âMr. Adam, Iâm here.â
âCome in.â
Adamâs laziness came from inside.
Alana opened the door and walked in, only to see Adam sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. She also saw him wearing an unbuttoned white shirt and revealing his chest muscles.
This scene made Alanaâs heart beat fast.
Is Adam trying to attract me?
Alana was overjoyed.
