Chapter 761 Matchmaking
Alex not only had red ears, but his face was also flushed.
Because today, he shamefully thought about Clara's beautiful legs many times.
He couldn't wait to leave the hospital.
After buying the food, Alex didn't go into the ward. Instead, he asked a nurse to deliver it to her and quickly drove away.
Clara was lying on her side in bed. After taking her painkillers, she called her father on her phone.
At that moment, the nurse came in and put down the food.
Clara asked, "Where's that man?"
The nurse replied, "He asked me to bring this to you and then left."
Clara was speechless.
She didn't have much appetite and used her phone screen to look at her reflection.
She was very beautiful, even in her thirties, her skin was still in great condition.
The first thing people said when they saw her was to compliment her on her good skin and beauty.
But she not only failed to attract Gabriel's attention, she couldn't even attract Gabriel's assistant, Alex.
Clara sighed softly.
Ruth called, and Clara answered.
"Clara, did you receive the nutritional supplements?"
"Yes, I did."
Ruth could hear the grievance in Clara's voice.
"What happened? You sound pitiful."
"Mrs. Lancaster, I fell and broke a bone."
"How did you fall? Is it serious? Did you go to the hospital?" Ruth asked with concern.
Clara replied, "Gabriel's assistant Alex took me to the hospital. I'm staying here now, thanks to Alex. Otherwise, I'd still be lying in the bathroom unable to call for help."
Ruth breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Ruth suddenly thought of something.
"You said Alex took you to the hospital?"
"Yes."
Ruth smiled gently. "Clara, tell me what happened."
Clara briefly recounted the story. When Alex came to deliver the nutritional supplements, she was in the middle of a bath. The faucet suddenly broke, and when she checked it, she accidentally slipped on the bath foam and fell hard. Then Alex fixed the faucet and took her to the hospital.
"Clara, what do you think of Alex?"
"He's just slow and lacks emotional intelligence."
Clara's evaluation left Ruth speechless.
Ruth wondered, 'Is Alex really that bad?'
"But he seems quite upright, with no bad intentions."
In that situation, with no one else at home, Alex could have easily taken advantage of her. Even if he had no interest in her, he could have just left after putting her on the bed.
But Alex didn't. He fixed the faucet and then politely excused himself without trying to gain her favor.
Clara felt conflicted.
Ruth listened and then chuckled, "Alex hasn't had much experience with relationships, so he is a bit slow. But he's very efficient in his work. Following Gabriel, he's handled many tricky situations and difficult clients."
"But Alex has a lot of potential to be taught."
"Although he's from a rural area, he got into a prestigious university through his own efforts. He's very honest and simple."
Ruth spoke slowly, listing many of Alex's good qualities.
Clara listened quietly and understood Ruth's intention.
Ruth wanted to set her up with Alex.
Clara began to ponder.
She was in her thirties and had been in a few relationships, but none led to marriage.
Her parents were so worried that their hair turned half white.
She was the only daughter, and initially, her parents wanted to find a live-in son-in-law, but no wealthy family was willing, and capable business elites were even less willing.
Clara had high standards and didn't fancy men with no abilities. As she got older, her parents became more anxious and announced they wouldn't seek a live-in son-in-law anymore.
After that, her parents pressured her into blind dates, which she found unbearable.
Clara thought about it. If she couldn't get Gabriel, getting Gabriel's assistant Alex seemed like a good option.
Besides, she liked Alex's physique.
"I understand, Mrs. Lancaster. You can arrange it."
"Good. I'll have Alex come to the hospital to take care of you tomorrow. You two should get to know each other."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Clara started searching for information about Alex.
Alex's love life was like a blank sheet of paper.
Since childhood, Alex had been very diligent. His family was ordinary, and he was ordinary. His parents said studying could change his fate and allow him to live in a big house.
So he studied hard and finally got into a prestigious university.
In college, he habitually focused on his studies.
In his first year, while others were busy dating, Alex was busy joining the student council.
In his second year, while classmates were finally in relationships, Alex was preparing to become the student council president.
In his third year, while couples were breaking up before graduation, Alex was taking every possible certification exam.
In his fourth year, while already broken-up couples were looking for new partners, he was interning at a big company.
Then he had a long period of work. Alex grew in his career, working with Gabriel, and finally got his family to live in a big house. His savings and assets gradually increased.
Looking at Alex's early life, he had no time for relationships.
Wait, Alex did have one relationship.
The year he graduated, his family introduced him to a girl. She was excellent, and they got along well. But later, the girl moved to City S for her career. She didn't want a long-distance relationship, so they broke up after a month.
After that, Alex focused entirely on his work. His family introduced a few more girls, but none worked out, and eventually, they stopped trying.
The last time Alex went back home, when the neighbors saw he was still single, and rumors spread like wildfire.
His parents had completely given up on his love life.
Alex woke up early and went to work as usual. On the way, he received a call from Ruth.
Ruth said, "Alex, can you deliver something for me again?"
"Sure." Alex agreed.
Alex delivered the items to the hospital and found out they were for Clara.
Before he could enter the ward, Ruth called again.
"Alex, Clara has helped me before. Now that she's injured, I'm very worried. But I'm old and can't take care of her. Gabriel and Sophia are on their honeymoon. Can you stay at the hospital to take care of Clara?"
"Mrs. Lancaster, there's a lot of work waiting for me at the company, I..."
"You don't need to be there 24/7. Just visit her after work, talk to her, have meals with her, and help with whatever you can."
Since he had nothing to do after work, Alex agreed.
Alex brought the items in.
"Miss Taylor, Mrs. Lancaster asked me to bring these." He spoke in a very businesslike and stiff manner.
Clara pouted, "Got it, just leave them there."
Alex put down the items and was about to leave.
Clara cried out in pain.
