Alina left without hesitation after saying that.
Alger looked at Alina’s back, feeling very confused in his mind. He shouldn’t have said anything that offended Alina just now, right?
Alger shook his head speechlessly, then started ordering his food.
After eating his meal, Alger’s stomach finally felt much better. But just when he was about to return to the company, Alina called again.
Alger frowned and asked in confusion, “Something wrong?”
Alina sounded a bit anxious. “Oh no! Something bad happened!”
Alger also looked serious after hearing that. “What exactly happened?”
Was Winnie mad at him after finding out what he had said about the two of them being divorced?
Thinking of this, Alger quickly asked, “What did you say to Winnie? Did you tell her I said that I have already divorced her?”
“No, it’s more serious than this!” Alina quickly said, “It’s easy to explain to Winnie. The more important thing right now is my mom!”
Alger was finally relieved when he heard it wasn’t that Winnie was mad at him. He said in confusion, “Aren’t you going to explain to your mom? What does it have to do with me?”
“Of course it has something to do with you, brother!” Alina sounded a bit dissatisfied. “I don’t know what Bart Leslie said, but my mom just called me and asked me to take you home for dinner. She wants to see you!”
“What?!”
Alger felt frustrated. He frowned and said in dissatisfaction, “Seriously? You and I aren’t really boyfriend and girlfriend. Why should I go home for dinner with you?”
“Do you think I want to take you home for dinner?!” Alina said furiously, “My mom said I have to take you home no matter what! What do you want me to do?”
Alger also started to become annoyed. “Then, why can’t you just explain to your mom directly? If I really go with you, how are you going to explain it in the future?”
“How am I supposed to explain it? Should I tell my mom I found a random guy to pretend to be my boyfriend because I don’t want to be with Bart Leslie?” Alina directly said, “If so, why did we have to act before Bart Leslie?”
If she directly said that she and Alger weren’t in a relationship, things would definitely return to the starting point.
By then, Alina would still be forced by her parents to go on another blind date with Bart Leslie. If this was the case, what did she do these things for?
So, Alina directly rejected Alger’s suggestion. “If I could have told my mom, I would have already made it clear when she called over. Do I still have to contact you?”
After hearing this, Alger said speechlessly, “So, what are you thinking right now? Are you really planning to take me home to meet your parents? I’m already married. Besides, bigamy is a crime. Do you know that?”
“Who wants to marry you? This will never happen!” Alina said, “Anyway, judging from the current situation, there’s no other way. Just act with me again.”
“What if your parents take it seriously?” Alger frowned and felt like things were already going in an uncontrollable direction.
“That’s what I’m trying to do. Then, they’ll not force me to go on blind dates.” Alina said directly, “But don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll tell them we’ve already broken up.
“Then, you’ll not have to worry about my parents. I’ll explain to Winnie!”
Alger sighed in frustration. “Why do I feel like I’m on a pirate ship?”
“Don’t be so reluctant. If it weren’t that the person I found didn’t come and I asked you for help temporarily, it wouldn’t have been your turn to help me with this.” Alina said in dissatisfaction, “Okay, it’s settled!”
“Okay.” Alger nodded and said, then hung up.
…
When Alger returned to the company, he looked a bit pale. What happened with Alina affected his mood.
When Lisana came to the office and saw Alger’s pale face, she asked in confusion, “Mr. Alger, what’s wrong with you? You don’t seem to be in a good mood?”
Alger didn’t tell her about Alina. He shook his head and said, “Nothing. How’s it going with the Enbrel Corporation?”
Seeing that Alger wasn’t willing to talk about it, Lisana didn’t ask anything else.
Lisana took out a document from her arms and put it in front of Alger. She said, “The acquisition is basically settled now, but I still haven’t seen the CEO of Enbrel Corporation until now.”
Alger nodded. He wasn’t surprised about this. “Since the other party doesn’t want people to know his information, he certainly won’t deal with the acquisition himself. Is there anything else?”
“The Enbrel Corporation made a request. I think I must talk to you about it.” Lisana looked at Alger and said with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Alger asked in confusion after seeing that, “What request?”
“The CEO of Enbrel Corporation doesn’t really care about how much we’re paying them to acquire their company. Instead, they requested that we must suppress the Rolle Corporation like how they did before after the acquisition!”
Lisana continued, “Besides, they want us to suppress the Rolle Corporation until they’re down no matter what. This is the only request they made.”
Lisana said as she subconsciously looked at Alger’s expression. “However, since you suggested working with the Rolle Corporation previously, I think the Rolle Corporation must have something to do with you, so I came here to ask you for your opinion on this.”
If it was another company or companies that didn’t have any ties with the Youssie Corporation, Lisana might have agreed with the Enbrel Corporation’s request without hesitation. However, since Alger had specially proposed to help the Rolle Corporation in the past, Lisana hesitated.
Alger frowned and said after hearing that, “The Enbrel Corporation will only agree to the acquisition if we take down the Rolle Corporation?”
“Right.” Lisana nodded and said, “I even looked for some information about this, but the information shows that the Enbrel Corporation has never had any connection with the Rolle Corporation before. So, I’m also a bit confused about the Enbrel Corporation’s suppression of the Rolle Corporation.”
“Really?”
Alger was lost in thought. Because of the Enbrel Corporation’s behavior, he was even more curious who the CEO behind the company was.
Why did he hate the Rolle Corporation so much that he wanted to suppress the Rolle Corporation until bankruptcy?
“Mr. Alger, what should we do?” Lisana asked.
“You did a great job. About the request that the Enbrel Corporation made, just leave it for now. The current situation of the Rolle Corporation isn’t good. Send someone to go ask about it.” Alger said.
“Sure.” Lisana nodded and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something. She hesitated for a while and said while looking at Alger, “Mr. Alger, no matter what happens, take care of yourself..”
