Chapter 5 Move Out

Alice couldn't help but feel lucky that she had divorced. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to get along with Kyle under the same roof.

As soon as she got home, butler reported to her that Halkin was waiting for her in the study upstairs. Alice smiled helplessly, handed the things to the servant, and went upstairs alone.

"You're back?" Behind the desk, Halkin raised her head from a pile of documents and nodded slightly at her. "Have you dealt with everything?"

With a casual smile on her face, Alice said: "I've got the divorce certificate and moved everything back. There's no need to contact them in the future."

She sat down on the chair in front of Halkin's golden desk and asked tentatively: "Mom, is the Jones family going to start bidding for the project in Ruihua? Is there any plan?"

Halkin finally raised her head from the document and looked at her daughter carefully. Her face softened a little. "The bidding will be held next week. I haven't seen the suitable one yet. Why do you suddenly ask about it?"

"By the way, you said you would go back to the Jones family and take over my position after divorce. Are you finally ready to fulfill your promise?" Halkin reminded her again.

Alice smiled: "It's not a rush to take over Jones's family business. I've been wasting three years. If I take over it rashly, I'm afraid I'm not capable enough. I want to toughen myself up with the Ruihua project first. There must be a process to deal with a big deal."

"With your ability, why bother?" Halkin didn't agree. She was confident in her daughter's ability.

With the support of her mother, Alice was very happy, but she still insisted on her attitude. "You have to give the elders a buffer time. As soon as I came back, I was promoted. They may cause me many troubles. Although I'm not afraid, it's still a trouble."

Halkin looked at her for a long time and finally agreed: "Then do as you think. Do it as soon as possible. I won't give you much time."

"Okay, I won't let you down." Alice smiled and looked at the scenery out of the window.

In the VIP ward of the rehabilitation hospital, all the nurses knew that Miss Grimm in ward five had a boyfriend who treated her very well, but it was not the case in the ward.

"Bruce, don't act on impulse any longer. Alice is a good girl. You should treat her well." Leaning against the head of the bed, Grimme looked as pale as snow.

Bruce disagreed: "Grimme, don't be fooled by her. What did she do to you that day? She even cursed Grimmna. She is just a shrew."

With a gentle smile, Grimme put her hand on the back of his hand and said: "You're wrong. It's all because she cares about you too much. My body is almost unable to hold on. Don't waste your time on me."

"I hope you can remarry her and let her keep you company so that even if I die, I can leave at ease."

"Grimme..." Bruce's heart ached when he saw the considerate girl in front of him.

"Don't give up. Your disease will be cured."

Lowering her head, Grimme tried to pretend to be free and easy. "Up to now, there's nothing we can do except to find a suitable kidney source. Don't worry about me anymore."

"Alice's kidney donor can be matched. Don't worry. I will get her consent." Bruce said firmly.

However, Grimme shook her head in a hurry. "Don't force her. I won't accept it unless she is willing to."

"You are so kind..." Bruce became more determined to get that woman's consent. When he was about to say something, his phone rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Bruce from the Wilson Group? This is the Jones Group. We have already seen your plan. The person in charge wants to have a talk with you alone."

Hearing the news, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. If he could get close to the Jones family, he would naturally have a high position in the Wilson family.

When he told Grimme that the call was from the Jones family, Grimme was also surprised.

"Is it okay this afternoon?" At the other end of the line, the Jones Group had set the time.

Bruce's eyes were fixed on Grimme's pale face, he hesitated: "This afternoon?" He had promised Grimme that he would stay with her the whole day.

The ward was quiet. Noticing Bruce's hesitation, Grimme waved her hand with a smile, indicating Bruce to leave her alone and remind him to agree with the time set by the Jones Group as soon as possible. So he agreed at the urging of Grimme.

After hanging up the phone, Bruce was not very happy. "Grimme, I..."

Grimm said thoughtfully: "You have spent so much time on this project. It's not easy to get a chance. You can't miss it."

"But I had promised you that I would stay with you the whole day." Bruce frowned and felt guilty.

"Honey, I can take care of myself. My sister will come this afternoon." Grimme came up with an idea. "How about this? If you feel guilty, how about coming to see me tomorrow?"

Bruce's heart softened: "Okay, I'll come early tonight. Please take good care of yourself."

When Bruce went out, Grimme looked at his back with mixed feelings. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Jones Group was located in the most prosperous area in the center of London, with a whole office building. Bruce walked in confidently and calmed down, hoping to show the best side later.

The receptionist knocked on the door and led him into the reception room.

Behind the desk, swiveling chairs facing the front door, the project leader with her back to him, her left-hand tapping on the desk, an invisible pressure spreading through the office.

Bruce hadn't been so nervous for a long time. He calmed down and smiled calmly. "Hello, I'm Bruce, the person in charge of the Wilson Group. I made an appointment with you this morning. This is the plan of the Wilson Group for the Ruihua project."

"Hello, Mr. Bruce!" A clear and noble voice sounded. The rotating chair turned around. Bruce finally saw the real face of the project director, and his eyes widened in an instant.
