Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 550

Chapter 550 He Was Taking Advantage of Her

Although Victoria had lost her memory, she still felt quite familiar with the place as she had previously studied here. When she accompanied the two children inside, she stood at the entrance and some images flashed through her mind.

The speed was so fast that she couldn’t catch those images, and they disappeared again.

She paused for a moment, and the person next to her also stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Alaric reached out and held her waist. Almost all of his attention was focused on her.

Victoria shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

Although she said so, he still looked at her with some concern.

“Let’s go. I’ll go in and take a look too.”

However, the next second, she pushed away his hand and walked inside.

It seemed that her memory would be affected when she went to certain places. Although she felt quite happy with her current life and it didn’t really matter whether her memory would be restored or not, she felt that there were some things she needed to know the truth about after she saw that post on Facebook.

Even if she might not be happy after knowing it, it was still better than not knowing anything at all.

Alaric followed her as he watched her back with a pensive expression.

After Victoria entered, her gaze remained fixed on the two children. As they moved around, some familiar yet unfamiliar scenes gradually appeared before her eyes.

However, the speed was too fast, and she couldn’t capture much. In the end, she gained nothing.

She sighed helplessly. Forget it. I’ll have to take it slowly.

Today was only the first day, and she was already able to capture some scenes. That was already quite impressive. If she continued coming every day, she would recover a little more each day. Maybe it would take some time, but eventually, her memory would fully return.

On the way back, Victoria proposed to Alaric that she would come to pick up and drop off the children at school every day.

After hearing her words, Alaric didn’t react too strongly and simply said faintly, “You’re taking over Mom’s job.”

At this, she was taken aback. “Doesn’t Mom have other things to do?”

His lips curled up. “Although she didn’t say it, her daily wish is to spend time with her grandchildren ever since we got married.”

Victoria was speechless.

It was evident that Mary really liked Nicole and Nathan. Not only Mary but also Casey couldn’t get enough of the children. When Victoria and Alaric took the children out in the morning, Victoria could see the reluctance in Mary’s eyes.

However, due to identity issues, Mary didn’t dare to say anything and merely asked them to be careful on their

way.

When they were about to leave, she still had a hesitant expression as if wanting to say something, but she didn’t say a word in the end.

Victoria didn’t realize it in the morning, but now that Alaric brought it up, she finally caught his drift.

“Moreover, are you giving up on your company?”

Suddenly, his next words shocked her.

She looked at him with surprise. “My company?”

“Yes.” Alaric raised his lips. “You put in a lot of effort to start your own company.”

This was something that Victoria hadn’t expected. I have a company of my own? She pursed her lips and subconsciously asked, “Where is it?”

“Do you want to go take a look?” Alaric replied. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Victoria asked, “What do you think?”

After all, it was her own company. How could she not want to go and see it?

“Let’s go. We’ll go and take a look.”

The next moment, he instructed the driver to change the direction of the car, and it quickly turned around.

She became curious. “You said I have my own company. During this time, I’ve been busy with my own things.

Who is managing the company now?”

Who was managing it?

Fortunately, she had hired a capable assistant, who managed the company efficiently in her absence.

Later, Terrance found someone to help, and Henry’s salary was increased. It could be said that Henry was now working under Alaric’s supervision. Alaric paid his salary, but he worked for Victoria.

Alaric had looked at Henry’s resume and found that he had an impressive background. This man could have had a promising career elsewhere, but he chose to work in a small company.

It was probably because he wanted to be a big fish in a small pond.

When Terrance talked to Henry about the job, Henry was candor.

“My wife, my children, and even my parents are in this city. Some companies may be grand, but they are not suitable for me. I believe that different things hold different weights in people’s lives. Some may think that their career is more important, but for me, my family is the most important. So, I just want to find the best job in the right place. Besides that, I don’t have any other demands.”

Therefore, Alaric gave Henry the best treatment here, which was a win–win situation for him.

Thanks to the investment from the Cadogan Group, Henry had a positive outlook on the company. Even if Victoria was often absent from the office, he never thought about leaving.

Not to mention, Alaric increased his salary.

The salary Alaric gave him was higher than what he could have earned in a big company. So now, Henry treated the company as his own.

After all, he had achieved what he wanted, plus the high salary. What more could he ask for?

When Victoria learned that it was the manager whom she had hired before who was taking care of the

company, she was quite shocked. “I haven’t been to the company for a long time. Doesn’t he think the company is not doing well?”

Alaric smiled meaningfully. “Perhaps he sees you as a promising talent.”

“Me?”

“Yes. After all, he was a high–level executive from a big company and has his unique perspective.”

Victoria was speechless.

She felt that he was praising her too much. She felt a bit embarrassed as she turned her face away and did not say anything more.

After the car arrived at the company, she followed him into the elevator.

Alaric led Victoria throughout the journey and when they entered the crowded elevator, she instinctively hid in his embrace.

After seeing this, he naturally pulled her into his arms and used his tall figure to shield her from the touch of

others.

She leaned against his chest while catching a whiff of his masculine scent. Then, her hand unconsciously grabbed his clothes.

When she raised her head, she met his dark and profound eyes.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

Victoria shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Alaric smirked. He was pleased with her dependent actions. With one hand braced against the elevator wall, he extended his other hand and grabbed Victoria’s wrist while guiding her to place her hand inside his coat and pulling her closer to his slim waist. He then leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Hold on tight so you won’t lose your balance later when there are more people.”

Victoria was speechless as she felt that he was taking advantage of her.
