Chapter 58

He wanted to ask Alice about it, but he didn’t have the courage and didn’t find a favorable situation for it. After all, she had to pay a high price for her independence, as his grandmother and mother had paid.

Alice never complained, staying with them at night in the magazine, if necessary. While she worked, she gave it her best. She also never mentioned her private life, if she had one at all.

He wondered if she had a private life. Like everyone else, she spent a lot of time at work, so there was not much left for normality, contacts with family and friends.

Nobody has ever seen her in any pub, club or restaurant. Until now, the editorial team didn’t know where she would go. She had to go somewhere, like everybody else.

Only once with Nicolas and friends, on the occasion of his birthday, they took him to an excellent French restaurant. From then on, he began to visit that place regularly, but he never met her there.
