Chapter 777 At First Glance
“I’m not tired!” Jewel shook her head.
“I’m tired. Let’s get off work.” “Isn’t there still a lot of documents on the table?” Jewel asked, looking at the
documents that had not been processed yet.
Alex said, “Work is not done in a day. Let’s go out to eat.”
“Isn’t my big brother treating us to a meal today?” Jewel asked suspiciously. Alex was stunned for a
moment, then immediately understood. Her big brother, Silas.
After this incident, Ellen would definitely see her as a daughter. The day they came back to Flore Brae,
Ellen made Jewel change the way she addresses them.
She would call Silas big brother and Brian, younger brother.
Silas and Brian also officially accepted her.
It was nice, but it made Alex feel weird. If he was with Jewel in the future, he would call Silas brother-in-

“I forgot. That’s good. We will go over now.”
Alex said, taking her out of the office by holding her hand. In fact, Jewel was still a little unaccustomed to
it. Although the intimacy between the two of them had long surpassed before, she still felt awkward. She
had been telling herself more than once in her heart. It was another person’s problem that they were
good to her.
She couldn’t be ignorant.
She took the chance to close the door and quietly pulled her hand back.
But just as she closed the door, Alex held her hand again,
After they left, the crowd began to discuss.
“What do you think Mr. Road is thinking? How can he like such a mute?”
“She isn’t mute. She just doesn’t like to talk. I’ve heard her talk before.”
“Anyway, there must be something wrong with her. I just feel strange. Our company is filled with pretty
girls. If Mr. Road likes her, he only needs to tell her and she will be his. Why is he always talking and
laughing with her like he is pursuing her?”
“Look at how jealous you are. Do you like our president?” “Don’t you? People should have dreams! Even
if you can’t become the president’s wife, you can become the president’s lover!”
Alex and Jewel didn’t know about their discussion. They held hands and took the president’s exclusive
elevator down to the first floor.
Ding!
The elevator door opened and met a woman’s shocked gaze.
The woman looked like she was in her forties or fifties. She was dressed in a graceful and luxurious
manner. Her upper body was wrapped in a white mink fur shawl and her lower body was wearing a pair
of black pants.
She was slightly plump and her hair was neatly combed. On her neck, hands, and ears, there were
green gemstone accessories, looking very rich. Alex was also very surprised. He did not expect to meet

“Mom, why are you here?” “Who is she?” Thalia retracted her gaze from Jewel’s face. Alex’s heart sank,
and he hurriedly said, “Her name is Jewel, my friend.”
Thalia’s looked at Alex’s hand holding Jewel’s. Alex subconsciously let go of her hand and quickly
hugged Thalia’s arm. “You haven’t said why you came here so late?”
Thalia said, “I heard that you came back and came to see you. Where did you go? It’s said that you were
not in the company for half a month.” “A temporary business trip. If you miss me, just call me and I will go
back to see you.” Thalia protested, “How long haven’t been home? If I didn’t come to the company to see
you today, wouldn’t get to see you.” “Yes, yes, yes. You have a wise move, but I have to eat with Silas
and the others today. I can’t go home to accompany you. Can I go back to have dinner with you
tomorrow?” Alex replied good-naturedly. Thalia glared at Alex, “What a glib tongue. Alright, you guys go
out and eat. I’ll go up and take a look.” “We are leaving, why are you going up there?” Alex frowned.
“I will help you supervise if there are any lazy employees,” Thalia said as she entered the elevator.
Alex helplessly shouted, “Mom” But Thalia ignored him, and the elevator door slowly closed. Jewel
looked at Alex suspiciously and asked, “What’s wrong?”
