Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Chapter 19 A Half-Day Off

Alexia subconsciously sat up straighter as she looked up, seeing Chaim standing at the door wearing a silver and grey suit, followed by Assistant Chiao.

“What were you saying about a dress?” Chaim asked again.

Putting down the phone, Alexia stood up. “It’s the welcome party tonight. I just learned about the dress code and I don’t have an appropriate dress.”

“Is there such a thing as not having an appropriate dress?” Chaim mused, twisting his head around to glance at his assistant.

Assistant Chiao pushed his glasses up his nose, “Yes, the vice-president informed everyone to wear full dresses because you have invited many high-profile people in the industry.”

“I know that,” Chaim answered indifferently before walking toward his office.

Alexia received a formulaic smile from Assistant Chiao, then watched as he quickly followed Chaim.

Alexia didn’t know what to make of Chaim’s behavior as she closed the door to her office.

Unable to make sense of any of it, Alexia shook her head to clear it and went back to sorting out the documents.

Thankfully there weren’t many documents, she just needed to sort them and scan them into the computer.

After finishing her work, Alexia brewed a strong cup of coffee and idly browsed web pages. Then, she thought of something and solemnly put her coffee down before typing.

She clicked on the first link: the side effects of bone marrow donation.

The heart rate calmed as she read that the bone marrow donation wasn’t likely fatal, but that was before she read the potential side effects.

“…thirty percent of people are at risk of senility, reduced bone marrow production, and elevated white blood cells leading to leukemia…”
