Chapter 149

"

On what basis?" William carried her and continued to step on the footprints.

He didn't ask why, but - why?

He was good to her, why wouldn't she let him do it?

Alice was speechless, and she lowered her eyes to look at his neck.

The temperature in the morning was very cold. Even though she was wearing a windbreaker, William's body was obviously covered in sweat, and the color of the collar of her shirt was a little dark.

Alice bit her lips to prevent herself from thinking too much.

However, she clearly knew that something was slowly changing in her heart. She didn't want to, but she couldn't control it.

Carrying her on his back, William finally made two neat footprints on the beach.

Alice looked at it, she thought that if she were to measure it with her ruler, it would definitely be in a straight line.

She wanted to get down, but William refused to let her do it. He continued to carry her and walked in the direction of the wooden house.

William only let her go after he went to the bedroom that was prepared for his at the resort. He laid on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Pour me a glass of water."

William said, as his black eyes looked at her deeply.

"Oh, okay."

This was probably the first time William was the most willing to let her do something.

She had just pressed his arm, and it felt like it was going to go stiff. It showed how tired she was with his back.

Alice went outside to pour a cup of water. When she returned to the bedroom, William was already asleep on the bed.

He laid there, and just like that he fell asleep. The thin lip closed its eyes, and its breathing was even.

He was very tired.

Alice understood. She put down the cup of water, took out a clean blanket from the cupboard and covered William with it. Then, she turned around and walked out.

He was very tired.

He was not sleepy at all.

When Alice walked out, she heard the sound of a helicopter flying in the sky, and raised her head to look.

Daniel stood not too far away and was currently making a phone call, directing the people in the helicopter. "You must take all of the young master's portraits, and make them more beautiful."

Such a loud noise.

Alice walked over and could not help but ask, "William is still sleeping, wouldn't it disturb him like this?"

The beach was very empty and quiet, and the sound was especially loud.

"Young master said that when Miss Clyne wakes up, we can shoot it by air." Daniel said, "Otherwise, if the time is too long, the painting will disappear from the beach."

Alice was startled.

William said that he would take an aerial photo when she wakes up. So, the reason he didn't take the photo last night was because she was still sleeping? Why did he do so much?

Such a domineering and self-righteous man would actually be afraid of disturbing her to sleep.

Alice bit her lips, raised her head and looked towards the helicopter, her eyes filled with suspicion, and turned to leave.

"Miss Clyne, do you still want to rest?" Daniel's voice sounded from behind her. Alice stopped, turned her head, and shook her head, "What's wrong?" She had had enough sleep.

Right now, she was extremely clear-headed because of the shock that William had brought her. She almost didn't know how to face it.

"Miss Clyne, if you have enough rest, you should be able to learn some oceanic knowledge in the next two days. After that, you can go dive with young master." Daniel said.

"Alright."

Alice nodded.

The person who taught her how to dive into the sea was a staff member of a resort. It was a five-star resort with a professional oceanic teacher.

In the classroom, there was only Alice.

The teacher taught her on DVD, one on one.

There were a few staff members serving by the side who would occasionally serve Alice with fruits, cakes and milk.

It was a completely VIP service.

Alice sat there listening to her teacher's explanation, her learning attitude extremely serious.

An hour later, seeing that she had a certain understanding of the deep sea, the teacher called for a break and took out the DVD.

The TV screen turned blue.

The class opened with a blue screen.

"Is there no signal from the resort?" Alice casually asked.

Shouldn't TV be playing after you quit DVD mode?

The worker at the side was a young girl, upon hearing that, she immediately complained to Alice, "That's right, I don't know why, but it will definitely send the Mr. Cullen's order, and our vacation area's signal will be gone, no television will be able to watch it."

Another girl followed, "Also, we were afraid that if the whereabouts or photos were to be leaked, our computers and phones would all be turned in. The Mr. Cullen has sent people to search and make sure that there is no electronic equipment that can be used to contact the outside world."

Alice was stunned, she did not know that there were actually such things.

Miss Clyne, who do you think still doesn't use their cellphone? The young girl had a dejected expression.

The other girl looked at Alice pleadingly, putting her hands together in front of her, "Miss Clyne, can you help us talk to Mr. Cullen? At least give us back our phones, we have signed a confidentiality contract, we guarantee that we won't leak anything!"

As she spoke, the two girls raised their palms and swore to her.

Alice was left with no choice but to laugh and say, "Alright then, I will speak with William later to see if he is willing to go through with it. But I can't guarantee it will success."

After all, no one knew what kind of result William's temper would give out.

"Miss Clyne will definitely succeed. Mr. Cullen loves you dearly and even personally fed you." The two girls flattered her with all their might.

The matter of the CEO William feeding her had already spread throughout the whole resort.

Did he love her?

William really did love her, but she really didn't want him to do that.

"Oh right, Miss Clyne, I keep having the feeling that you look a little familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before." One of the girls looked at her suspiciously, studying her seriously.

Alice sat on her seat and fell silent.

"Ah, I remember!" The girl suddenly clapped her hands and looked at her in surprise, "You are the big star Mary's big sister, right? Mary's wedding has already revealed your photo!"

"Yes, I'm her elder sister."

Alice remembered, she had taken a photo of her that time and she could remember this too.

She could only admit it.

"Oh my god, Miss Clyne, you are really much more low-key than your sister. You are Mr. Cullen's girlfriend, but you have never mentioned it in front of the media." The girl said.

Compared to this, the man Mary was looking for was nothing.

Alice was sensitive to the word "girlfriend", what kind of girlfriend was she?

She lowered her gaze, her expression somewhat sluggish. She did not say anything, nor did she explain. Explaining would only embarrass her.

"That's right. Speaking of your sister, recently, that Patrick..."

She was interrupted by a voice.

Daniel stood at the door of the classroom and spoke to Alice: "Miss Clyne, the aerial film has been released, do you want to take a look first?"

Alice was startled, then nodded: "Alright."

She stood up and walked outside.

Daniel stood at the door and turned to look at the two chatty girls. His face was gloomy as he followed Alice out.

In the study of the wooden house.

Daniel opened up a laptop for Alice to see.

Alice was shocked again. The aerial photos were even more shocking than when they were on the beach.

What struck her more than her portraits were the two rows of neat parallel footprints.

The aerial photograph recorded all the footprints for a long time.

So many footprints.

She didn't even know how William had endured.

She couldn't bear to look at the footprints that he had made with his foot as he carried her on his back for the second time.

She shifted her gaze, outside the door, she saw Daniel and a bodyguard talking about something, his face was stern.

Alice walked to the door and asked, "Steward Daniel, what's wrong? It can't be that something has happened, right? '

Daniel rarely revealed such an expression.

"It's fine. I'm just making arrangements for the security of the resort." Daniel turned his head and smiled at her, looking extremely kind, "Have you seen the film, Miss Clyne?"

"Yes."

"How is it?"

Alice paused for a moment, before answering with two words, "It's pretty good."

She didn't know what to make of it.

"If Miss Clyne thinks it's good, then Young Master must have a good impression of it. It looks like there's no need to take extra pictures." Daniel heaved a sigh of relief, "Then you handle matters, I will go down and arrange my work." With that, Daniel walked into the hut and took the notebook.

Alice stood under the eaves of the wooden house and rolled her eyes. Was she being paranoid?

Two seconds passed.

She had knocked herself on the head. What was she doing? She had been with William for so long, yet she was still assimilated? Unexpectedly, he also became suspicious.

City S, Office of the President.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Patrick sat on his desk to take care of his work. His face was pale white, one of his hand was still dripping with blood.

Cough.

The assistant, Tony, was reporting on the situation at the side. Upon hearing the intense cough, he could not help but frown and looked at Patrick worriedly. "Mr. Miller, you should just go and lie down.

During this month, the Miller Group was constantly attacked, and all sorts of negative news kept coming.

Patrick was already injured, but he did not stay in the hospital for three days before coming out to take charge of the situation. His body was getting worse and worse, and now he was suffering from pneumonia.

Without rest, Patrick could only sleep for two to three hours every day.

"It's fine. Continue talking, there's still one more day until the market opens. How much can the broker possibly raise the price?" Patrick asked with an extremely weak voice.

'Tm not sure." Tony shook his head, "Even if the other party were to come for Disintegrating Miller Group, I can't do anything about it."

"Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to raise the Miller Group's reputation."

Patrick said.

After the Miller Group released the news of his breakup, the negative news started to clamor.

'Tm afraid that's hard."

Tony said, his eyebrows knitted tightly.

Patrick picked up his water cup and drank a mouthful of water, then coughed out many times, his face exceptionally pale white and weak.

"Mr. Miller, you can't go on like this. Rest for a bit, your health is most important."

Tony couldn't help but say while standing there.

Patrick's sickness had already dragged on for a month.

If this went on, the pneumonia would turn out worse.
