Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

After that day, a blurry figure would emerge in Elijah's mind from time to time. He even felt that he had been bewitched.

On this day, Hudson walked into the Triumphoods Group's CEO's office with some documents. When he saw Elijah wiping his hands, he unconsciously raised his eyebrows in doubt.

"Elijah, I've already handed over the Rogers family's bill to Hart. He says he can do it, and he's already on the job!"

"Mm."

"This is the revenue of Eight Casino this season. They've been doing all right, but their monthly growth is a bit slow. Their revenues have only increased by 3 percent."

"Mm."

"By the way, Eighth Casino has gotten an extra poker table. Although the cash flow is relatively slower, it's very popular. There are many people that go there to waste their time, and this causes a long wait for the rest. The manager is thinking of changing the largest hall upstairs into individual rooms. You know how it is. Those players are all about the arrangement. When the tables are put together in a hall, it's too squeezy. The renovation, facilities, and servers are coming along fairly quickly. However, if we do go through with this, it'll be quite costly. He can't guarantee next season's profits either, hence he hasn't acted rashly. He's hoping to get your opinion!"

"Well, you can decide on these things! Our casino is legal, but considering our location, we still have to be more lowkey. Eighth Casino's current structure can be renovated, but not expanded by too much. Profits earned are secondary. Make sure we don't miss paying taxes. No mistakes are allowed. Got it?"

"Don't worry! We are a legal company and legal business. We won't be caught!" Mm."

Raising his hand, he handed over the detailed report and financial budget. "Right, today is Friday, and it is usually the busiest time in Eighth Casino. Do you want to go and have a look..."

Since he entered the door, Elijah had already thrown several pieces of tissue away. His gaze was still locked onto his hand. He never even bothered to look Hudson in the eye. Not knowing what happened at the race club, Hudson was a little suspicious.

"Elijah, your hand... What's wrong? Is it dirty or..."

What's going on? Had his mysophobia gotten worse?

Why was he constantly looking at his hand?

A fierce gaze flashed through Elijah's eyes before he realized what he was doing. He unconsciously stretched out his clean and slender fingers, but his eyebrows were knotted together tightly.

"I'm fine!"

He could say that he had suffered from the aftereffects after being forcibly pulled to touch a part of a woman he shouldn't have. He kept getting a strange and uncomfortable feeling in his palm.

Retracting his fingers, he looked straight ahead. "Do you still remember that woman? Go and investigate her for me!"

"Huh?"

A woman?

Hudson screamed in shock. He was completely stunned. Elijah had just asked him to look into a woman. Had his ears deceived him?

"The one at the party last time... Carolien. She seems to be the boss of some nightclub."

"Elijah? Did I hear it wrong? It's rare that you even remember the name of the woman." He even knew that she was the boss of a nightclub. He had only been out for a few days. What was going on? Had that woman crossed him or was he interested in her?

Soon enough, pigs were going to start flying in Triumphoods Group.

Hudson's heart itched, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. Elijah's matters, especially personal affairs, were something that even he, a private assistant, dared not ask casually!

After rolling his eyes, Elijah was a bit sarcastic. "Rare? It's just one name. Don't tell me you wouldn't remember?"

His meaning was special. Even if he didn't intend to, he remembered her!

Hudson was still in disbelief. When Elijah finished signing off on the documents, he made another comment. "Come pick me up tonight and tell me what you've found!"

"What?"

Why was he in such a hurry? He screamed again. Hudson was speechless and rolled his eyes. "It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, okay?" he thought to himself.

"Is there a problem?" After all, nightclubs were their area of expertise.noveldrama

In Elijah's mind, it was something that could be done in a single phone call. Shaking his head violently, Hudson stood up and said, "No! I'll go right now!"

The expression in his boss' eyes was so skeptical. How could he dare to say he had a problem? Elijah would probably use him as shark bait if he did. Hudson quickly went out the door. He had a massive headache.

What was going on?

After finishing the day's work, Elijah got into the car after getting off work. Hudson handed a file bag to the back seat and said, "Elijah."

"Mm."

Reaching out to take it, Elijah closed

his eyes tiredly. After a whole

afternoon of meetings, he had a headache. He notified the driver to start the car. After glancing at the driver, he threw the file pocket and snorted.

"Just say it to me!"

In the rearview mirror, Hudson looked at Elijah's calm face with his eyes closed.

Clearing his throat, he turned on his mobile phone.

"Carolien, 27 years old, graduated from the business and trade

department of Southview University. She is the owner of Misty's

In

Nightclub. She is currently single, and her father is absent. She and her mother have always depended on each other. Her mother was a dancer who ran a small entertainment place. She passed away about three years ago. Later, Carolien took over Misty's Nightclub and became a young owner! She is beautiful, bold, and sophisticated. Many people chase after her, but I have never heard of any men who are close to her..."

Hearing this, the cold and hard corners of Elijah's lips actually relaxed a little unconsciously.

"At present, she lives alone in Teva Apartment and lives with a three-and-a-half-year-old boy. The boy is Alistair, studying in the best international kindergarten nearby. Legally, he is registered as her younger brother. They are very close, and rumor has it that he is actually her illegitimate child. It is also because of her father's mysteriousness. It could be because of this illegitimate child. So in recent years, her life has been very simple. She pretty much oscillates between the nightclub, home, and now the kindergarten. There were no records of her having any past relationships."

When Hudson looked up again, he saw a poker face in the mirror and a pair of

cold eyes. "Is that all?"

That's it?

A girl with such a messy private life and a child that was several years old. How could she do that to him?

No wonder she dressed up so elegantly and cast flirtatious glances at men. She was not reserved at all.

Shameless!

Undisciplined!

Damned woman!

A cloud of anger rushed into his head, and in an instant, he clenched his fists, causing his knuckles to crack.

Hudson was shocked by the darkness on his face. He couldn't help but shudder. He nodded heavily and swallowed, "Yes, that's all!"

Other than that, what else did he want to know? Hudson had told him everything about Carolien, both career-wise and private life.

The air in the car seemed to be sucked dry, and the atmosphere was suffocating. Hudson's eyes wandered. When he didn't know what to do, the driver's voice sounded. Hudson felt like he had been saved by the bell.

"Mr. Luther, we've arrived at Eighth Casino."
