Chapter 305 Stop Right There
"Keep investigating!" On the other end of the phone, Alexander's tone suddenly turned icy.
"Yes!"
"Investigate as quickly as possible! Push everything else aside!"
"Understood, Mr. Windsor!" Gavin responded.
After hanging up the phone, Alexander stood on the top floor for a while before going downstairs.
Downstairs, Elizabeth was already up.
She had woken up early today and took good care of her skin. The marks on her face, hit by Linda a few days ago with a shoe, were barely visible. Elizabeth had applied some oil given to her by Harper, and it worked quite well.
It didn't even have much of a smell.
She then applied a thin layer of foundation, looking much more refreshed.
As she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Alexander in a bathrobe.
Although her makeup was very light, Alexander could tell immediately. This only showed that she usually went without makeup, and when she did wear it, she looked both pure and slightly alluring, making her particularly tempting.
Moreover, she was wearing a dress today that was tight at the waist and flared out below, making her waist look even more slender and delicate.
Alexander had an urge to pull her into his arms immediately.
However, on the surface, he did nothing. He didn't even say a word when he saw her outfit, just calmly walking back to his bedroom.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Elizabeth followed him.
It wasn't because she was afraid of him.
She just thought that since it was still early, and he had asked her to help him change clothes yesterday, so maybe he would ask for her help again today.
As she entered the room and saw her behind him, he asked indifferently, "Why did you come in?"
"To help you change clothes," Elizabeth said.
Alexander was silent.
Before he could react, she was already taking clothes out of the wardrobe.
Having lived with him for a few months, Elizabeth knew that he habitually wore dark, simple colors and didn't like anything flashy. If someone else wore such outfits, they might look old-fashioned and lifeless.
But he was a natural model. He could make anything look regal, and even a moderately priced suit would look like a high-end custom piece on him.
And it didn't make him look old at all.
It only made him seem mature and domineering.
Seeing that Elizabeth had picked out cold-toned, simple outfits for him, Alexander suddenly asked, "You want me to wear this?"
Elizabeth looked up at Alexander, saying, "Sorry, I'll change it."
She knew he was picky, immediately finding an even colder-toned outfit from the wardrobe.
A dark blue suit, a cool-toned tie, a white shirt, black socks, and black shoes.
As she laid them out on the bed and prepared to help him put them on, Alexander gave her a hard look.
Elizabeth was smart, asking, "Do you still think it's too bright? But there's nothing colder in your wardrobe."
Alexander was silent.
After a second, he said, "Hurry up and help me get dressed! Otherwise, we'll both be late!"
Elizabeth nodded, saying, "Okay!"
Just like yesterday, Elizabeth helped him put on his clothes, but she was much more familiar with the process today. After dressing him and tying his tie, she couldn't help but adjust it a bit to make sure it wasn't too tight, afraid it might choke him.
For a moment, she suddenly felt like they were a loving couple who had been together for a long time.
Thinking of this, she blushed.
"Why are you blushing?" Alexander looked at her, puzzled. They had been intimate all night yesterday, and what was she thinking about?
"Nothing," Elizabeth stammered, "The air in the bedroom is stuffy. I feel suffocated, and I'm going out." With that, she immediately ran outside.
Alexander called after her, "When will you stop blushing so easily? It seems you're still not used to it. Maybe after more experience, you'll toughen up!"
After muttering to himself, Alexander didn't leave the bedroom but picked up his phone and dialed another number.
The call was quickly answered, "Mr. Windsor, this is Max."
"Max, inform the company's executives that this morning's meeting is canceled. Also, reschedule all of today's morning appointments."
Max, Alexander's assistant, was very surprised, asking, "Mr. Windsor, what happened?"
In his memory, Alexander had never canceled a scheduled event in the six years he had been in charge of the Windsor Group, unless there was a major incident.
However, Alexander was very calm, saying, "Nothing."
Max was silent.
After a second, he said, "Okay, Mr. Windsor, I'll notify everyone immediately."
No one knew what Alexander had planned for this morning, not even Elizabeth, who shared his bed. She could never figure out Alexander who was just too composed and deep.
However, Elizabeth didn't bother to guess what she couldn't figure out. She felt that her job was stable now, and the company atmosphere was good, which was already quite nice.
As soon as she got out of Alexander's car and entered the company, Elizabeth coincidentally saw Julia.
"I have good news for you, Elizabeth," Julia said.
Elizabeth immediately smiled, "I'm smart, so let me guess. I can definitely guess it right. Last night, after Harper returned to her place, the HR department notified her to come back to work, right?"
Julia said, "You really are smart; you guessed it!"
Elizabeth proudly said, "Of course, I'm Elizabeth! A science major! My brain works very well!"
Julia rolled her eyes, saying, "Alright, you're smart!"
Elizabeth then asked, "Where's Harper?"
"I'm here, Mrs. Windsor," Harper came running over, carrying two breakfasts and handing one to Julia and the other to Elizabeth, and said, "I got this for you."
"You eat it. I have breakfast at home every day," Elizabeth said.
Only then did Harper not insist.
Elizabeth casually handed a small paper bag to Harper.
"What's this?" Harper asked.
"A gift for you," Elizabeth said.
Harper opened it and saw that it was a complete set of skincare products.
"Estée Lauder, and it's the high-end line from Estée Lauder?" Harper's eyes widened.
After looking at it for a while, she looked up, her eyes red, saying, "Mrs. Windsor, I used to treat you so badly, and you're still so good to me. This high-end set costs over ten thousand dollars, and you're giving it to me?"
Elizabeth shrugged and smiled lightly, "I'm allergic to strong scents, so I can't use it. It would be a waste to keep it. I noticed your dark circles have been bad lately, so I thought you could use it."
Harper clutched the skincare set to her chest, gratefully saying, "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Windsor."
"No problem."
"Harper, you jerk! Stop right there!" A furious voice suddenly shouted from behind.
