Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited)

Chapter 52 Never Say Uncle

Chapter 52 Never Say Uncle

Florence returned to the company but she was absent-minded.

If she didn't meet Alexander, she wouldn't feel anything. But now when they met each other again, she couldn't calm down. She felt flustered. Memories they shared when they were in love came to her mind from time to time.

Florence shook her head. She couldn't think about it anymore. Now that they had broken up, she should just go ahead.

Florence went to the tea room to get water. She saw a group of colleagues gathering together and gossiping. Seeing Florence, they quickly asked her to join them.

"Ms. Scott, do you know Katherine Preston who came from a subsidiary with you?"

"I don't know her well, what's the matter?" Florence was confused.

After entering the headquarters, she hadn't even seen Katherine. If her colleague didn't mention that girl, she would have forgotten that Katherine came to the headquarters with her to study.

"Just now I saw her coming upstairs in the same elevator with Mr. Logan. She came from the same subsidiary as you. So, I thought you knew her background."

Katherine was here?

Florence was quite curious.

Another colleague said enviously, “That Katherine is so beautiful. Her figure is really amazing, with big breasts and a thin waist. Even I was envious of such a woman."

"I just looked at her waist. I can hold it with just one hand. I'm afraid that amid us, only Ms. Scott can compare with her in this aspect."

Florence was so curious about a person for the first time when listening to the gossip.

Who was Katherine?

The chat was in full swing in the tea room, and suddenly a beautiful lady in a rose-red dress walked in.

Florence heard a colleague next to her say, “This is Katherine."

She was very pretty.

Florence couldn't help looking at her a few more times. Katherine was so young. She should be in her early twenties, and her face was full of collagen.

"Hello everyone." Katherine took the initiative to greet everyone and reached out to get some water smilingly.

The colleague standing before the drinking fountain stepped aside.

Katherine smiled and said, "Thank you."

The colleague said in a hurry, “You're welcome."

Katherine took the water and turned her eyes to Florence, “You are the goddaughter of the Cooper family, Florence!"

This was not a secret. Almost everyone in the company knew that Florence was the goddaughter of the Cooper family.

Florence said naturally, “Yes, I am."

"I am Katherine. Nice to meet you. I should have come to the company with you on Monday. But I was suddenly ill and it was delayed until today." Katherine smiled and continued, “I hope we can get along well with each other at work in the future."

Florence smiled, “So do I."

Even though Katherine was very kind, Florence still felt uncomfortable when getting along with her.

After the first meeting with Katherine in the tea room, Florence returned to her seat and continued to work on herself.

Without the harassment from the Scotts, she rarely stayed quiet for a few days.

She clocked out early today. When Florence passed by the market, she got out of the car and went in to buy some food. She even bought a chicken to make some soup.

Although Alexander said that his car accident had nothing to do with her, she still thought that she should do something out of morality.

Florence persuaded herself in this way. She simmered the soup, went to the company early the next morning, and waited at the door of William's office.

When someone came, she handed the thermos lunchbox to William.

William asked, “What is this."

"Chicken soup."

William was flattered, “Ms. Scott, you are so kind to me. Thank you for sending me the chicken soup early in the morning."

"It's not for you. It's for him." Florence said, "Mr. James. Please give it to him for me when you go to the hospital."

"If it's for Alexander, Ms. Scott, you should send it by yourself." William said, "If Alexander knows that it’s made by you, he must be very happy. Then if you can bury the hatchet, that would be so good."

"I didn't make it, I bought it from outside." Florence lied, “Don't get me wrong. I just want to console him as a friend. And I meant nothing else. Thank you."

"Alexander had a headache in the middle of the night last night. The doctor said it might be a sequelae." William lied and said nonsense, “The doctor also said that Alexander may become blind. He will not be able to see anything. There is still a blood clot in his brain, Ms. Scott. Probably he doesn’t have any injury on the surface, in fact, he is all injured inside."

Florence had been deceived once, and she wouldn't believe William's words so easily.

"We have broken up. Anyway, what happened to him has nothing to do with me."

Florence thought that she couldn't hesitate.

"Even you can't be lovers, you’re not strangers. Anyway, you loved Alexander before." William exaggeratedly said, “After breaking up with you, he was totally a mess. You saw it yesterday, and he has lost a few kilos.

Florence was speechless.

She really didn't think so.

William said so much because he wanted Florence to meet Alexander again.

William sighed and said, "If Alexander is really blind, or if something happens to him, how can I live on?"

"What?" Florence looked at William weirdly.

William realized that he had said something wrong, and explained with a smile, “I had a tongue slip, we are definitely not like what you think. There is no affair between us."

Florence pursed her lips and said, “I'll hand over the chicken soup to you and now I'm going to work."

After speaking, Florence returned to her post.

William carried the thermos lunchbox. It seemed that Alexander still had a long way to go in chasing his girlfriend back.

William sent the chicken soup to Alexander.

Alexander glanced at it faintly, “Take it away."

"Ms. Scott stewed the soup herself. She asked me to give it to you."

It didn't matter if this was stewed by Florence or not. Even if it was not, William would still say it was made by Florence. William put down the thermos lunchbox, “I'll put it here. To eat it or not, it depends on you."

When Alexander heard that it was from Florence, a strange light flashed across his eyes, but he still arrogantly refused to drink the chicken soup.

William complained in his heart. ‘Let me see how long you could bear it.’

"By the way, Steven Logan is back."

Alexander had no response. “Well, I know."

William looked solemnly, “I'm afraid he will make big moves. Anyway, I don't believe that he just comes back for Kingston Logan. If the father and son join up, it will be very troublesome."

"Easton and Dominic have been watching them." Alexander was not unprepared.

William discovered that he hadn't seen Easton and Dominic in recent days.

At this moment, Jonathan's voice came from outside.

"The injury is not serious. Can't you be discharged?"

At the door, Jonathan took Vincent here. They heard that Alexander was injured in the hospital, and the two came here to visit him.

"Jonathan, what brings you here?" William smiled and said, "Alexander just wants to stay in the hospital for a few more days to heal his injuries."

"You got dumped?"

It was not someone else who was talking. It was Vincent.

Vincent pouted his lips and said with a very contemptuous tone.

Alexander changed his expression, “You are just a kid. What do you know?"

"It looks like you are really dumped." Vincent shook his head and sat on the sofa, “You feel so ashamed that you’re so angry."

Alexander was rendered speechless.

Vincent said as if he was very experienced in this aspect, "I'm the most experienced in this kind of thing. The girls on the island all like me very much. Isn't it just to hit on a girl? It's easy. How about I teach you how to do it?"

Alexander was rendered speechless.

When did he need a little kid to teach him how to pursue a girl?

William secretly gave Vincent a thumbs-up. No one, except for this little boy, dared to talk to Alexander like this.

Alexander said with a cold face, "Jonathan, you should go back to the island today."
