Love Her to No End

Chapter 33 Jealousy

The next morning, just as Michaela entered the office, she saw Lorelei Summerfield walking over to her with a smile. “Mich, was that really someone you knew last night?”

“Why didn’t you tell me that you knew such a young man? Not only is he handsome, rich, and gentlemanly, but he’s also considerate. He’d rather get drenched by the rain than let you get wet. If he’s someone’s boyfriend, he’d definitely spoil his girlfriend!”

As Michaela glanced at Lorelei’s yearning look, she raised a brow. “What if everything was just an act?”

Jonathan kept a low profile and rarely showed up in public. Even after hearing the things he did, the media companies would still not rush over to step on a land mine. Therefore, it was nothing unusual for Lorelei not to recognize Jonathan.

Still, isn’t she a little hasty to assume that he’s a considerate gentleman after just one glance?

“How can that be? Everything can be faked except for the elegance and nobility he exuded. That’s something that can’t be learned in later life. Also, do you know how much that custom-made suit he was wearing was worth? It’s almost the same price as one year of our salary!”

Lorelei actually came from a well-off family as well. Her father was a famous construction material supplier. However, Lorelei had hidden that from everyone so she could court Alois.

She had expensive cars at home, but she did not drive them. Instead, she drove an inexpensive, small car to work and wore plain clothes. Indeed, she had gone to great lengths for him.

“You’ve got good tastes. Does that mean you’re planning to turn over a new leaf and come to the bright side?”

Michaela smiled and glanced at her—the look in her eyes was a teasing one.

At the mention of Alois, Lorelei quickly returned to a solemn demeanor as she shook her head and denied, “That’s impossible. How can I when I have fallen for him and gone down the path of no return? Not even the beauty of another man will be able to change my heart. In this life of mine, he will be the only one I-”

Before she could say “marry,” a figure suddenly appeared by the doorway of the office. Instantly, Lorelei recomposed herself and politely greeted, “Hi!”

Alois did not respond to her. The first thing he did was nod at Michaela before letting his eyes drift toward Lorelei. “Lorelei, can you come with me for a while?”

Without waiting for her reply, Alois went out of the office.

Lorelei was stunned by the sudden turn of events and froze. Unable to stand watching her stay rooted to her spot, Michaela waved her hands in front of her face. That snapped Lorelei back to her senses.
