Alvina was unable to figure out why the man suddenly came to replace her; she followed Joseph in a daze, and walked towards the meeting room. Just as she went in, the man extended his hand out and closed the door.

Alvina's beautiful eyes fell on the man's face. Looking at his previous tone of wanting to settle the score with her, she thought that he had angered her again. While she was wondering, the man suddenly approached her. Deep and quiet eyes sweep gently on her face, but the tone is gentle: "Is it frozen to go to martyr's garden today?"

"Huh?" Alvina opened her eyes in shock, then bit her lips and shook her head: "No, why did you suddenly come to replace me, are you not afraid anymore?"

"Did I scare you?" Joseph chuckled: "If I didn't speak to you with that tone just now, I'm afraid others would have misunderstood me."

Alvina finally understood that the man was acting just now. She stared at him angrily: "Can't you say something earlier next time? I really thought you were going to do something to me."

"What can I do to you?" Seeing her resentful face, Joseph's handsome face tensed up: "You almost fell in the afternoon, are you hurt?"

"No, the person beside me helped me up." Alvina shook her head, and smiled: "I never thought that you would even know this! I see that you are quite engrossed in chatting with that leader. "

Joseph leaned against the edge of the desk as his hands held onto the pockets of his pants. A pair of deep eyes stared unblinkingly at her small face: "I really want to meet you, want to care about you, but I can't do it in front of outsiders.

Alvina looked at him in shock, her beautiful eyes blinked twice. "So the reason you've come to replace me right now, is because you want to see me?"

"Otherwise!" Joseph raised his eyes and looked at the monitors in the four corners of the conference room: "If I'm even talking to you in this conference room, I might be monitored."

Alvina's heart jumped, and she became anxious: "Then... Then why did you invite me in to talk?"

"It's fine. As long as I can't bear to kiss you, they won't know what we're talking about!" Joseph lowered his head, his thin lips curling up into a smile.

"Since this place is so dangerous, why don't we go back home and talk? It's time to get off work anyway." Alvina felt uncomfortable thinking of being watched.

"Alright, let me see if I can come over later. I have a dinner party later. You should go back first and be careful on the way." Joseph really wanted to reach out and hug her, even if it was just to feel her body temperature. But he couldn't even have such a small wish in this place that was filled with danger and eyes.

"Un, then I will go back first. In the future, don't come see me taking such a risk again. For the sake of us loving each other in the future, what is the suffering in front of us worth? Anyway, I don't feel like I'm getting along very well like this." Alvina said softly, as if he was comforting a man.

"Alvina, since you're so kind, I really owe you too much." Joseph's heart was beating really quickly. He really pitied her for looking so sensible.

"Don't worry, I will make you compensate me in the future. Use your loyalty for your entire life to compensate me." Alvina said with a smug expression.

"Alright, I will!" Joseph locked her beautiful face and replied gently.

"Then I'll leave first!" Even though Alvina was unwilling to leave, she still endured the yearning and turned around to leave.

Joseph did not follow her out immediately. Instead, he lowered his eyes and thought deeply while looking at the floor.

The moment Alvina came out, she saw that the colleagues who were preparing to leave were all crowded at a place not far from the meeting room. It was as if they all wanted to prick up their ears to listen to the gossips between her and Joseph.

"Cough!" Isn't everyone still not getting off work?" The moment Alvina walked out, she ruffled her hair and pretended to laugh as she greeted them.

Those people immediately scattered with a rumble, leaving with dry smiles.

Alvina came out, where was Mr. Vice-President?

Looks like the two of them weren't having a good time, otherwise, why didn't Mr. Vice-President come out yet?

Alvina knew that everyone was very curious about her way of interacting with Joseph. She hurriedly packed her bag and left without saying a word.

After a long while, when Alvina had finally left the office, he slowly walked out of the conference room with a dark expression on his handsome face. No one dared to talk to her, and they all pretended to lower their heads to do something.

Joseph knew that everyone was paying attention to his and Alvina's fragile relationship.

He signed in his heart, thinking that his reckless actions would bring that little girl trouble again. He wondered how the rumors would be written tomorrow.

Perhaps in the future, he would really try to restrain his emotions and not act rashly again.

Since he couldn't openly love her, he had to at least give her a good working environment. He would never act so impulsively again.

He would always consider her difficulties and her stand, and would no longer greedily focus on satisfying his selfish desires.

"Brother-in-law..."

Just as Joseph was about to go through the corridor and take the elevator back to his office, a voice suddenly come out from a nearby corridor.

Joseph did not connect the voice to him, until the person caught up to him again, and once again called out to him with his sweet voice. "Brother-in-law!" Joseph stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saw a somewhat familiar face.

"You are..." Joseph's heart was in a mess, so he naturally couldn't recognize her at first glance.

The sweet smile on Victoria's face froze on hearing the man's question.

"Brother-in-law, you really forget everything. I'm Victoria, Alvina is my cousin." Victoria's heart felt as if it had been cut twice by a knife. She felt pain and lost face, and could only introduce herself again. Only now did Joseph remember her identity, and said blandly: "Oh, so it's you, why are you here?"

"I've just been hired to work for the Department of Public Information. Brother-in-law, please take care of me in the future." Victoria said softly, her hands behind her back as she twisted them nervously. She lowered her head with a bashful expression, giving off a charming and touching vibe.

"Why are you working here?" When Joseph heard that she had actually been hired by the Public Information Department, his expression sank. He knew that the relationship between Alvina and the two Miller Family had never been good, and the appearance of this woman here made him overthink.

"I... My dad wanted me to replace a job to train myself. I saw my cousin working here was pretty happy, so I wanted to come over and try." Victoria's heart raced, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of a better word to say.

"En!" Joseph replied indifferently, then turned and walked to the elevator.

Victoria opened her mouth to speak, but discovered that the man's expression was cold, causing her to not dare say anything else. She stared blankly at the man's figure that had disappeared in the elevator, her heart thumping.

She had originally wanted to get off work, but after suddenly hearing that Joseph was going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as if she was looking for trouble with Alvina, she anxiously ran over here. She did not expect her luck to be so good, and when she really got to Joseph, she hurriedly said a few words to him, and got to know him well.

"Joseph, there will be a day when you take the initiative to speak to me." Victoria muttered with a face full of confidence.

Although Joseph's attitude was very cold, Victoria was not angry at all. On the contrary, speaking to this man at such a close distance, that kind of feeling was very good, especially in this kind of place. Alvina drove back home, and when she thought about how the man had impulsively come to replace her today, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

She had always thought that Joseph was a very restrained and calm person, but she hadn't thought that he would also have the impulse to ignore everything. Even though he seemed to be taking a big risk, it proved that this man's feelings towards her were still very warm.

When Alvina returned to the Vice-President Palace, someone delivered piping hot food. She slowly finished her dinner by herself and then headed upstairs.
