BXBX NOVEL Chapter 490 She Returned Home
'What?!! Lillie is already pregnant!'
Hannah was surprised when she heard that shocking news from Andrew. With this, she knew that Zhen-Zhen had secured and strengthened her position in the Davis Family.
The elders, most especially Grandpa Lu, were eager to have great-grandchildren. No wonder he was very fond of Zhen-Zhen, giving her extra attention because she was already pregnant.
Hannah couldn't help but feel jealous of Zhen-Zhen. She also wanted to gain favor from the elders. Though the Miller Family and the Davis Family were very close to each other before, she didn't experience being spoiled or doted on by Grandpa Lu.
She didn't pay attention to Grandpa Lu's feelings before. She was always intimidated by him so she never tried getting closer to him. Now, she regretted it.
After her long silence, Hannah gazed up to speak to Andrew.
"Andrew, let's make a baby too…" Hannah mumbled softly that caught Andrew off guard.
That was the least he was expecting her to say tonight. They had just reconciled. How could she suggest that to him?
Andrew remained silent in his spot when Hannah tiptoed to kiss Andrew on his lips. But for some unknown reason, Andrew was not in the mood so he avoided her kiss.
Hannah ended up kissing his cheek as Andrew moved his head on the side. He felt like he couldn't kiss Hannah. It felt so wrong as he kissed Alveena a while ago.
Hannah frowned when she noticed Andrew's strange behavior tonight. He looked bothered by something but she couldn't figure out what he was thinking right now.
"Andrew… is everything alright?" Hannah asked, turning his head to face her.
"Yes, I'm just tired. Let's sleep, Hannah." After saying that, Andrew planted a soft kiss on Hannah's forehead. He didn't want her to be upset since he intentionally avoided her kiss.
Hannah had no choice but to follow Andrew. It did not take long when the two of them had gone to bed to rest.
Andrew was not able to sleep, thinking about what happened between Alveena and him. He wondered how he would fix this complication with Alveena.
'I have to apologize to her. I hope she will understand. I don't want her to hate me after this,' Andrew thought to himself.
******
Two days had passed but Alveena didn't show herself to Andrew. She stopped coming to Heavenly Star Enterprise. She didn't return to Andrew's place as well.
Andrew tried contacting her but Alveena was not answering his calls. She was clearly avoiding him. Because of that, Andrew was not in a good mood for these past few days.
His colleagues were wondering why Andrew's personal assistant was no longer reporting in the office. They assumed that Alveena was either fired by Andrew or she resigned from her position.
Andrew's colleagues could feel that Alveena was one of the reasons for his mood swings. They were trying their best not to bother or approach Andrew because he looked gloomy and intimidating now.
When Tristan dropped by his brother's office, he noticed the gloomy atmosphere inside. The staff looked very quiet and reserved. That's the time he realized that the noisy personal assistant of his brother was nowhere to be found.
Tristan immediately approached Andrew, sitting on the vacant chair in front of Andrew's desk.
"Director Davis, what happened here?" Tristan asked Andrew quizzically.
Andrew lifted his head as he moved his gaze from his laptop to Tristan's face. His mind was so occupied by Alveena moments ago that he failed to notice Tristan's presence.
"Oh, CEO Davis, you are here. Do you need anything? Where's Matthew? Why did you come here personally?"
Tristan let out a soft chuckle.
"I should be the one asking you that. Where is your personal assistant? I haven't seen her around. Don't tell me you finally fired her because of her noisiness?"
Tristan wanted to lighten the atmosphere by saying that joke but it seemed that Andrew's mood worsened after Tristan mentioned Alveena.
"I didn't fire her. She went AWOL," Andrew answered Tristan with a dark expression on his face.
Tristan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after seeing Andrew's reaction.
"Brother, honestly, you don't look well. Should I hire another personal assistant for you to feel better?"
"No, I don't need a new one. She's the only personal assistant I want," Andrew reacted immediately. Those words just came out naturally in his mouth.
Tristan: "..."
Meanwhile, the woman Andrew and Tristan were talking about was already back at the Sy Corp. She was currently attending a general meeting together with the CEO and other directors.
Alveena returned home one day after the Centennial Year Celebration. She didn't care anymore if her parents would still push her arranged marriage with Brandon Cullens.
Fortunately, her parents didn't talk about her marriage. They were so glad that she was finally back. Her parents missed her a lot as she didn't come home for more than a month.
They were afraid that Alveena would try to run away from home again once they would bring up the topic about her marriage so her parents avoided discussing it for now.
She also confronted his brother that night. She scolded him for sabotaging the Heavenly Star Enterprise by poaching their model and copying their theme during the product showcasing event.
Alveena couldn't stand her brother's schemes against the Heavenly Star Enterprise. She told him that she would never cooperate with him again. She already had enough. No more spying. The two of them ended up arguing.
In the conference room, Alveena didn't hesitate to speak up and target the director who insulted Zhen-Zhen during the product showcasing event.
"I can't tolerate that action, insulting women in front of everyone. Though she's a representative from our competitor, you don't have the right to insult her like that. As a woman like her, I feel very disappointed with you Director Chun. Women deserve respect."
"With that, I want Director Chun to be demoted and stripped of his director position. If everyone here won't agree with me then I will submit my resignation today."
But to Alveena's surprise, Clifford supported her decision.
"Starting today, Mr. Chun will no longer be our Finance Director," Clifford declared to them firmly.
