Chapter 1102:
“So, I called too early. You haven’t started yet.”
Caden chuckled in exasperation and said deliberately, “Then I’ll come back in half an hour.”
Alicia took a deep breath, entering into the spirit of their banter, and said, “Is half an hour enough for you?”
“Half an hour is more than enough. She’s not as pretty as you, and her figure isn’t as good. I’m not interested in having sex with her again and again.”noveldrama
Alicia said, “Isn’t half an hour not enough for you? Only with someone you love would you be that quick, right?”
“It is my first time cheating, too thrilling to control.” Caden played along.
Alicia paused before replying coldly, “Then forget it. Don’t bother coming back. I’m quite busy myself.”
“Busy with what?” Caden asked.
“Later, I’ll pick a handsome employee from your company to have an affair with.”
Caden fell silent.
“Actually, since I’m here, I might as well pick a few more. My husband has been working late a lot, and I’m feeling neglected. One might not be enough.” Alicia then asked seriously, “Which department has the most interns? I like them young and strong. Over twenty-five is excluded.”
Caden still didn’t respond.
Alicia said sweetly, “Oh, by the way, honey, should I take off my ring when I’m with them? Or should I leave it on for the thrill?”
“You’re in big trouble, Alicia.” Caden was skilled at banter, but he couldn’t handle Alicia’s teasing. Despite knowing it was all in jest, it was too much for him. He was speeding to get to the office.
After hanging up, Alicia felt quite satisfied with herself and casually picked up a document to read.
It was then that Alicia stumbled upon the initial files on the development of an artificial heart chip.
Alicia knew Dorian had been working on the chip, a demanding task that required significant effort.
When Caden returned, his exhausted appearance indicated he had been assisting Dorian.
“Is Dorian facing a tough problem?” Alicia inquired seriously. “Is there an issue with manufacturing the chip?”
Caden pointed out that she was half right. “The chip can be made, but there might be a few months’ delay. The real issue isn’t the chip. It’s Dorian.” Caden embraced her, waiting for her to mentally prepare before explaining, “He’s been hospitalized due to severe radiation exposure.”
Alicia was shocked. “Are you insane? Why would you get involved with something that has radiation risks?”
