A strong heart?

Alvina could not help but laugh bitterly. She already thought that she was very strong in her heart, but a few people's shamelessness would still change her view of things.

Victoria had brazenly run over to her to fight for Joseph. Alvina did not feel threatened at all. After all, she knew clearly about what Joseph was thinking.

However, even though she knew that she wouldn't succeed, she was disgusted by her shameless behavior.

When Victoria first arrived at the information system, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. This was because she had directly introduced herself as Alvina's cousin, and Mr. Vice-President was her future brother-in-law. Of course, she wouldn't be able to curry favor with her.

Victoria was much more flamboyant than Alvina, she felt that if it was related, she should make use of it.

During lunch time, Alvina could see from afar that Victoria was surrounded by a group of people. She seemed to have quickly blended in with her colleagues in the office.

Victoria also looked at her from afar, and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a mocking smile. She had to prove that she was more outstanding than Alvina, no matter if it was in terms of work or networking.

The future First Lady would definitely be a very sociable woman, Victoria had to reveal her skills in socializing with others. At that time, if Joseph saw her, she would also like her specialty.

As Victoria eagerly waited, she could not help but ask the female colleague at her side: "Isn't Mr. Vice-President coming to the cafeteria to eat?"

"Of course they won't come. Mr. Vice-President has such a prestigious identity, so he naturally has a specialized cafeteria on the third floor. That is a restricted area, so ordinary employees cannot go there." A female colleague quickly explained to her.

"So that's how it is!" Victoria was inexplicably disappointed. She had always heard of the personality of the Mr. Vice-President's loved ones, and thought that she would be able to see him in the canteen.

"Victoria, I heard that your cousin is too close with the Mr. Vice-President. Is that true?" Someone on the side immediately began gossiping.

Victoria lightly snorted, "Do you all still need to ask me? Anyone with eyes can see that my cousin has some kind luck. She ran into such an outstanding man! "

"Victoria, you don't seem to like your cousin very much. Is your relationship not good?" Another colleague became curious.

"It's not that I don't have a good relationship with her, but that she was too narrow-minded. Relying on my grandfather's favor, she looked down on others and didn't even put me, her little sister, in her eyes." Victoria laughed coldly again, and when she told Alvina the worst, she suddenly felt wronged and helpless.

Everyone understood some of Alvina's personality's flaws from Victoria's mouth as they cast cold and mocking glances at her.

Alvina gazed at Victoria from time to time, and when she opened her mouth and spoke nonstop, she was truly worried that she would say something bad about herself.

The office was neither big nor small. If there was to be gossip about someone, it would be like a gust of wind blowing past. Within a day, it would be able to reach every corner of every department. It was truly terrifying.

However, with the mouth on someone else, it was impossible for Alvina to defend herself against her. She also did not expect Victoria to say something good and only hoped that she did not say it too harshly, or else, she would really tear her mouth apart.

During the lunch break, Alvina received a call from his grandfather.

"Alvina, I heard from your second uncle that Alvina was also hired to work in the office. Have you seen her?" Old Master Miller gently asked her.

"She came to see me!" Alvina's heart was in a mess, she really wanted to explain Victoria's shameful thoughts to her grandfather, and let her grandfather speak up for her. But she didn't dare say, her grandfather's health was not good, if he really angered her to the point of breaking her body, then that would be her fault.

Victoria would let her do it if she wanted to, just treat her as a clown, and ignore her.

In her heart, her grandfather was the most important person. She didn't want her grandfather to suffer the anger of these shameless villains.

"You're not as calm as me. Since you work at the same place, as your sister, if there's anything you need to take care of at work, you can let her." The Old Master Miller advised her gently. "Yes, Grandpa, don't worry." Alvina replied softly.

"Regarding your relationship with Joseph, you guys can take control of yourselves. Grandpa can't decide on your decision anymore." Old Master Miller said with a smile. "Grandpa..." Alvina pouted, a little embarrassed.

"Alright, grandpa won't tease you guys anymore. I'm hanging up!" Seeing her granddaughter was embarrassed, Old Master Miller did not say anymore and hung up.

Penelope suddenly walked out of the office, and anxiously said to Alvina: "Get ready, we need to go to the door later."

"Sister Penelope, where are you going?" Alvina hurriedly asked.

"The higher-ups have decided on the spur of the moment that the Mr. Vice-President will lead the team and invite the foreign leaders and several foreign guests to the martyr's garden to pay their respects." As Penelope said till here, her gaze couldn't help but pause on Alvina's face for a moment: "If you don't want to go, then I'll call someone to follow me."

"No, I want to go!" Alvina hurriedly stood up and replied her in a hurry.

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Penelope asked with a smile.

"I won't, I won't make things difficult for you!" Alvina hurriedly shook her head.

Penelope signed, "If you want to avoid the strong, then forget it, let's make ourselves feel better!"

"That's great!" Alvina couldn't help but laugh. If she had the chance to see Joseph again, she would definitely not miss it. Not even once.

Penelope nodded his head: "Then let's hurry up and prepare. In ten minutes, we will wait at the entrance of the hall."

"Alright!" Alvina hurriedly packed his necessary tools and walked outside quickly after following Penelope.

Actually, Alvina was still rather busy, all day long; it was either this or that. Moreover, everything was very important, there couldn't be any mistakes.

It was just that she did not have many opportunities to meet Joseph at work. Although she had asked for an important job from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Joseph's job was far beyond what she could imagine.

Alvina followed behind Penelope and waited at the entrance of the hall for a few minutes. Then, they saw a group of people walking over from the elevator.

Joseph was dressed in formal attire; his demeanor was clean and noble with a gentle smile on his face. Even though he was a modest gentleman, he had a powerful aura that could not be ignored, and his existence could not be ignored.

The moment Alvina saw him, her heart was filled with indescribable emotions; happiness, excitement, warmth, and attachment.

All sorts of emotions mixed together, causing her eyes to feel slightly hot.

Joseph's gaze seemed to casually look towards Alvina's direction, but when he saw her obediently standing there with his head lowered, an unspeakable pain arose in his heart.

With someone following her, Joseph's gaze could not unduly fall on her body.

Alvina did not dare to look straight into his eyes because her eyes had turned red. She was afraid of letting Joseph discover the sorrow in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Penelope was very close to her, and the moment he turned around, she saw her desperately suppressing the tears in her eyes, she immediately asked her in astonishment.

"No.... It's nothing, the sand is blowing into my eyes!" Alvina could not help but be vexed at herself. She was clearly a heartless person in the past, why did she feel so wronged and weak at the sight of him? Had her state of mind really changed? With the people she cared about, she became weak.

Penelope did not believe her words, where did the sand come from?

The so called sand was just Joseph.

As Alvina sat on the carriage, her gaze never left the carriage because the man whom she liked was right on top of that carriage.

When this foreign leader arrived at her destination, she found out that there was a huge political reason why she wanted to come and pay respects. Alvina was only a small part of the group; she could only do her job well.

Alvina saw Joseph and the foreign leader were walking while chatting with each other, the atmosphere around them had become more sorrowful. Penelope was also chatting with the foreign guests about the story of the Martyr's Garden.
