At noon, Alexandra sent Marco a WhatsApp message, asking if he had taken Julian to the hospital.
Marco did not reply to Alexandra, pretending not to see the message.
Marco thought, “The longer Mrs. Ranford waits for my message, the more anxious she will be.
“Then Mrs. Ranford will realize how much she cared about Mr. Ranford,”
Alexandra did not receive Marco’s message for a while. Thus, she sent Frank a WhatsApp message.
However, Alexandra didn’t know that Frank and Amadeus fought at the Ranford Tower. After that, Frank and Amadeus went to drink. Therefore, Frank didn’t see Alexandra’s message.
In the afternoon, Josephine went upstairs to take a nap.
Alexandra was so nervous that she was unable to sit still.
Thus, Alexandra ordered a cab on her phone. She sneakily left home and took a cab to the Ranford Tower.
Marco did not expect Alexandra to be so worried that she would directly come to the Ranford Tower.
This was Alexandra’s second visit to the Ranford Tower.
The first time Alexandra came, she and Julian were still strangers.
The second time Alexandra came there because she was concerned about whether Julian had been injured during the fight.
It was Sunday. Thus, there were not many people in the Ranford Tower. Alexandra remembered that Julian’s office was on the top floor.
Therefore, Alexandra did not go to the front desk to consult. Instead, she limped to the elevator and went straight to the top floor.
Alexandra jumped out of the elevator. Although her feet had recovered better these days, she was in a hurry today and walked a lot. Therefore, at this time, Alexandra’s ankle hurt if her left foot touched the ground.
However, Alexandra could not care about it. She held onto the white and spotless wall of the Ranford Tower and moved to the CEO’s office.
Alexandra reached out her hand to knock on the door.
At this moment, Julian and Marco were discussing a business that would launch in Kredonia soon. Both of them were stunned when they heard the
knock on the door.
Marco walked to the door and muttered, “Who is it? Doesn’t this person need to have lunch?”
Marco cried, “Mrs Ranford? Why are you here?”
The moment Marco opened the door, he saw Alexandra, whose face was flushed.
Marco was shocked!
As soon as Alexandra saw Marco, she looked inside and asked, “Where’s Mr. Ranford?”
Julian instantly stood up when he saw Alexandra.
Then Marco realized that Alexandra ran out of Tropical Lagoon Residences alone because she was worried about whether Julian was injured.
Julian hurried over to Alexandra. He frowned when he saw Alexandra slightly arching the back of her left foot.
Julian shouted inside, “Alexandra’s foot has just recovered a little. Now she goes out alone!”
Alexandra also saw Julian. She quickly glanced at him up from top to bottom.
Alexandra jumped inside. However, before she could take two steps, Julian sped up and came over to support her.
Julian was a little annoyed and frowned at her, asking, “What are you doing here?”
Alexandra ignored Julian’s questioning. Instead, she stared at his face and asked, “Are you injured?”
Julian was puzzled and asked, “What injure?”
Alexandra also frowned and said, “Yvonne’s brother came to the company to attack you. Are you injured?”
Hearing this, Julian immediately looked at Marco, Marco felt Julian’s gaze was like a knife toward him.
Marco quickly raised his hands and explained, “Mr. Ranford, I know nothing. I don’t understand it! I’m innocent! It must be Frank! He is a big mouth! Young Madam, I’ll go get you some snacks!”
After saying that, Marco immediately ran away!
Marco even closed the door!
Julian Ranford helped Alexandra to sit on the sofa. He was still a little angry.

Julian thought, “I’m angry at Alexandra for her coming so far to visit me even though her foot hasn’t recovered, I didn’t know how she made it here.
*I also feel my heart melt. How come this girl cares about me so much?”
“Mr. Ranford, are you injured or not? I heard that Yvonne’s brother is a wrestling champion or something. Are you alright?” Alexandra was slightly anxious when she noticed Julian did not answer her questions.
Julian could almost imagine what Marco had said to Alexandra.
Julian licked his teeth, thinking about how to punish Marco later.
Looking at Alexandra’s blushing face and the glimmer in her clear eyes, Julian said gently, “I’m okay. Am I that weak in your eyes? So what if he’s the wrestling champion? Didn’t I still knock him down?”
Alexandra didn’t buy it, thinking. “If Mr. Ranford is doing okay, why did Marco’s words sound
Alexandra frowned tighter and asked, “Are you really okay?”

serious?”
Julian sneered and asked, “How about I take off my clothes? So you can check on me.”
Alexandra blushed and cried, “Mr. Ranford!”
Realizing that he had made his girl shy, Julian stopped and said, “I’m really okay. He didn’t hurt me.”
This time, Alexandra believed Julian. Her worries on the road disappeared when she saw Julian was safe and sound.
After Alexandra calmed down, she recognized that she ran out of her house just to check if Julian was okay. Then Alexandra realized her behavior was. abrupt and impulsive.
Alexandra felt embarrassed and regretful.
Alexandra said, “Oh, that’s great. I thought he’d hurt you. Sorry, Mr. Ranford. It’s all my fault.”
“It’s not your fault” replied Julian.
Then they fell silent.
They just sat there.
Alexandra regretted her impulsive action of going to the Ranford Tower to visit Julian.
Julian was wondering why Alexandra’s visit made him feel so touched. He even felt happy.
It was the kind of happiness that someone always cared about him.
Marco knocked on the door and brought in two cups of coffee, a fruit platter, and snacks.
Marco carefully walked over. He was afraid that Julian would kick him out.
“Mrs. Ranford, have some delicious snacks!” Marco deliberately distanced himself from Julian Ranford and warmly greeted Alexandra, who had
suddenly appeared,
Alexandra was indeed hungry. She did not cat much at lunch because she was worried.
Julian noticed Alexandra was looking at the plate of snacks, so he reached out to pick it up and handed it to Alexandra. Julian said, “Eat something first and rest for a while. We’ll go home after I’m done. Otherwise, when Grandma wakes up, she’ll be anxious”
After saying that, Julian walked to his desk and continued to read the documents.
Marco left the office, leaving Alexandra and Julian in it.
Alexandra picked up the plate, took a fork, and ate the snacks one bite at a time.
Julian inadvertently looked up at Alexandra when he was reading documents.
Alexandra buried Ker head in the snacks. It seemed she enjoyed it.
Sometimes, Alexandra looked up and saw Julian was focusing on work.
They looked into each other’s eyes once or twice. Then they felt awkward.
Julian always smiled at Alexandra first. Then Alexandra felt less embarrassed.
At about three o’clock, Julian took his coat and stood.
Alexandra took a nap on the sofa. Noticing Julian had left the desk, Alexandra sat up straight. Then she stood up and followed Julian.
They left the office together. Alexandra took a rest, so her foot was a little better.
However, Julian still held Alexandra, acting as a human walking stick.
When the car stopped at a red light, Alexandra looked around and saw a large, circular supermarket.
Alexandra had never shopped at the supermarket since she came to Highclere City!
Chapter 98
Therefore, Alexandra said, “Mr. Ranford, this supermarket is so big! Its design is so unique!”
