CHAPTER 583: CHAPTER 606-607 VICTIM

After crying enough, Alice Conley sniffed and complained, "Dorian Howards, my parents wouldn’t even hit me, how could you hit me like that!" And with such force!

"If it weren’t for you saying those outrageous things, would I have been so angry to hit you?" Dorian replied irritably.

Alice’s momentum instantly weakened, "Well... still, you can’t hit me, that’s domestic violence..." Uh, wait a minute, that term doesn’t seem to apply here!

"Alright, alright, it’s my fault, I won’t hit you again in the future." He had no choice but to admit mistake, in this world, she was the only one who could make him admit fault with just a few words.

Dorian said as he slipped his hands under Alice Conley’s armpits, trying to help her sit on the sofa, but as soon as her backside touched the sofa, she immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch!"

He was startled and quickly said, "Let me take a look."

Alice’s face turned red instantly, firmly protecting her pants. Look? That’s not something you can just casually look at!

But the more she refused, the more anxious Dorian became. He was truly worried that he might have hurt her, given he was quite forceful when he was angry earlier.

"Alice, let me take a look, I won’t do anything to you, I just want to see how it’s going there." Dorian softened his tone, coaxing her.

Alice still resolutely shook her head.

"It’s not like I haven’t seen before, right? Three years ago, I’ve already seen it, seeing it once more doesn’t make a difference, darling, Alice!" Dorian continued to persuade.

Alice couldn’t bear to recall the past. What he said was true, three years ago, they did see each other’s, the scene at that time...

Scenes from the past flashed by like movie frames, making Alice’s face even redder.

"No way, how about... how about you let Sister Catherine Willis come in and take a look instead." Alice said reluctantly.

Dorian initially wanted to agree, but then thought how Alice would drool over Catherine all the time, and instantly refused, "Secretary Willis has a lot of work to do, she doesn’t have that kind of free time."

In other words, does he, the big boss, have that kind of free time? But Alice didn’t say this out loud, fearing to escalate the tension.

Nevertheless, Alice’s persistence didn’t last long because Dorian used brute force to half-forcefully press her down on the sofa face down.

Alice felt she had no face to see anyone. Dorian examined her injury, and when he re-entered the office with a small plastic box, he was satisfied to see Alice obediently lying on the sofa.

Alice wouldn’t admit that she was indeed threatened, she just comforted herself, she just wanted to give Dorian a chance to know his wrong and correct it.

The little box Dorian brought was a small medicine box, filled with various emergency medicines.

Alice immediately saw an old brand of ointment inside the box, an old brand, very effective. She reached out and directly grabbed the ointment, "This one works well."

"Oh, you know about it?" Dorian glanced at her.

Alice smugly and completely forgot she was just crying her eyes out not long ago, "When my dad used to hit me, my mom would apply this on me, it worked great."

"Why did your dad hit you?"

"For forging a parent’s signature..." Alice was startled, realizing she let slip something about her embarrassing childhood; it wasn’t something to be told to others.

Dorian was speechless and took the ointment from Alice’s hand.

"Hey, I still need to apply it." Alice protested.

"Apply? How are you going to apply it there yourself with your short arms?" Dorian said.

Alice was offended! And anyway, her arms weren’t that short! She intended to defend herself, but Dorian didn’t pay her any mind, merely applied the ointment swiftly and then shoved it back in her hand, "Find a way to apply it at home, it needs to be applied twice a day. If you can’t apply it yourself, call me, I’ll come to your house to apply it for you."

Alice shuddered; there was no way she would call him for that.

After applying the ointment, she felt considerably better, so she snorted a bit before bringing up the main purpose of her visit today.

"As for the New Year goods, I’ll have a word with Kwan tomorrow, and you’ll come with me to the market to see what kind of New Year gifts to prepare for your studio colleagues. As for today, I’ll send you back in a bit." Dorian said.

"Isn’t there already a plan for the New Year goods at the Corporation?" she asked.

"Your studio just joined this year, so nothing has been prepared. We need to personally go purchase some." Dorian replied.

"Purchase? You and me?" Alice was surprised.

"Yeah, unless you want your studio to go without New Year goods this year." Dorian smiled.

To Alice, that smile seemed like that of a cunning fox! She reconfirmed once more that the man before her was indeed someone who "abuses authority."

————

To avoid becoming a corporate villain, Alice ultimately decided to sacrifice herself for the greater good and follow Dorian to buy New Year gifts for the studio.

Dorian’s car was already parked at the entrance of Alice’s neighborhood early in the morning. When Alice came out, she saw Dorian chatting enthusiastically with the security guards at the entrance.
