Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie) novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 

Ellie arrived at the hotel room according to the address given by Mark and found Alex was also there. “Mr. Warren, she stopped in her tracks, seeing Alex standing at the door in a formal business BUIL 

When he wasn’t speaking, except for a slightly intimidating gaze, his entire being, even his fingertips, exuded the mature charm unique to a man his age. He was indeed very easy on the eyes, the kind that attracted women. 

At the entrance of the private room, their eyes met. Ellie wanted to enter, but Alex blocked the doorway, preventing her from doing so. He looked down at Ellic, his eyes flashing with amazement. 

Ellie’s hair, neither long nor short, had C–shaped curls at the ends and fell naturally over her shoulders. Her makeup was just right, neither too heavy nor too light.. 

She wore a beige suit dress, the top short and the bottom long, a metal chain around her waist perfectly outlining her sexy curves:: 

Alex couldn’t help but swallow, suddenly wanting to hold her in his arms and kiss her until she cried. 

“Mr. Warren.” Seeing that Alex neither s 

neither spoke nor moved out of the way, Ellie couldn’t help but call out again. 

Alex came back in his senses and cleared his throat nonchalantly. His eyes flickered as he looked Ellie up and down, his gaze, slightly presumptuous, suddenly fixed on her smooth left wrist 

He asked, “Why aren’t you wearing the bracelet?” Hearing Alex’s voice, Ellie subconsciously touched her smooth left wrist. “Your girlfriend took the bracelet. Didn’t she tell you!” 

Alex asked. “My girlfriend?” 

Ellie said. “Yes, your famous actress girlfriend.” 

The two looked at each other again. Alex took a deep breath. Just as he was about to speak, Mark came out of the room. “Mr. Warren, Ms. Thompson. I was just about to call you” 

“Traffic was heavy. We were delayed for a few minutes” Alex glanced at Ellie and stepped into the private room first. 

“Mark, why is Mr. Warren here?” Ellie asked the question in her heart. 

Mark said, “Mr. Warren helped us connect with this foreign pharmaceutical company.” 

Ellie nodded and followed Mark into the private room. As soon as she entered, the suppliers let out gasps of amazement, generously praising her beauty. 

Alex sat lazily i 

in his seat, his expression unreadable. Mark gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Ellie, and she sat between him and Alex 

There were exactly ten people at the table: Ellie, Mark, and Alex on one side, and seven people from the other party. Ellie was not good at negotiation, let alone negotiation at the dinner table, so she tried not to interrupt. 

Watching Mark and Alex work together seamlessly, toasting each other while discussing contracts, and flawlessly negotiating profits as if they had rehearsed it beforehand. Ellie finally saw another side to these two men 

In her mind, Mark had always been gentle and refined, a leading figure in the international plastic surgery community; she didn’t expect him to have the potential to be such a shrewd businessmNJIL 

Alex, on the other hand, completely overturned her perception of him. 

Alex in her impression never did anything serious. He was impetuous and straightforward, disdaining lies and never playing mind today Alex was full of tricks, capable of digging three traps with a single sentence.

“Jesse, I’d like to progear a toast to you? Ellie hesitated as she picked up her juice. Though unfamiliar with the nuances of business dinners, she knew that company leaders often brought female companions to liven up the atmosphere, 

She knew that Mark brought her here to give her some experience, nothing more. Not since the other party had already made the offer, she should respond graciously

“Thus won’t do” Jesse stood up, took two glasses of white liquor, and walked up to Ellie. There’s no gender distinction in the workplace, We’re having white liquor, so Ms. Thompson shouldn’t be drinking juice.” 

Ellie lowered her head frowning at the glass of white liquor placed in front of her. 

“Mr. Scort, Ill drink this glass for her, Mark stood up and came over to take the glass, but Mr. Scott stopped hum 

He said. “Mr. Grant, you and Mr. Warren have taken several layers of skin off us today, squeezing our profit margin to almost nothing. Don’t tell me we can’t even have a drink with Ms. Thompson” 

Mr. Scott was clearly displeased. Ellie stole herself and picked up the glass. 

“How can Ms. Thompson accompany Mr. Scott? Ill make arrangements for the evening. I promise Mr. Scott will have a good time. Alex stood up and clinked glasses with Mr. Scott. This glass is for you. Mr. Scott. Cheers to our cooperation” 

Upon hearing that Alex had made arrangements for the evening. Mr. Scott immediately beamed and drank the whole glass with him. Alex personally escorted Mr. Scott back to his seat, refilled his glass, and didn’t forget to compliment him. 

Returning to his seat, Alex p 

gave Ellie a discreet look. In gratitude, Ellie poured him a glass of warm water. 

During this time, Ellie excused herself to go to the restroom. When she came out, she saw Alex smoking in the hallway. 

“Thank you for blocking that drink for me just now, Mr. Warren,” Ellie said generously. 

“This kind of occasion is not suitable for you. Don’t come here again in the future. Alex extinguished the cigarette he had. 

I just 

“There’s no gender in the workplace. I’m just not good at drinking, I can learn other things” Ellie might not enjoy these occasions, but she wouldn’t shy away if necessary. 

She and Alex were both out here, leaving Mark alone to deal with them. She couldn’t help but worry. Ellie was in a hurry to go back, and as she paised by Alex, his slender fingers hooked onto the metal cham on her want 

Ellie shot Alex a warning glance, pried his fingers off, and pushed open the door to the private room. 

The gathering finally ended after more than an hour, and Ellie was the last to leave the private room. 

“I drank. Take me back to the company” At the corner of the corridor, Alex had appeared behind Ellie at some point. 

“Mr. Warren, your driver should be waiting for you at the entrance” Ellie had seen Alex’s car when she arrived, with the driver and Harry waiting 

inside. 

“My car already went back to the company” Alex said matter–of–factly. 

A few minutes ago, Barry, who was at the entrance, received a message from Alex, ordering him to get out of there with the car in three minutes. Barry didn’t dare to delay a second and immediately asked the driver to drive away. 

“Let’s talk at the entrance.” Ellie frowned, not believing a word he said. 

As a group of people passed through the corridor, the door of a private room behind them opened. 

“Well then, it’s settled. I’ll wait for your news in a couple of days. A clear and familiar voice sounded. Ellie, Alex, and Mark turned around to see Lacey coming out of the private room with a handsome young man. 

The man was fashionably dressed, wearing a baseball cap and a mask Lacey was holding a doll in her arms. The young man beside her lowered his head and whispered something to Lacey Lacey lowered her head shyly.
