Ecstacy of the Heart

Chapter 12 What Are You Doing?

Allison’s mind went blank upon seeing those. Had she discovered Alexander’s secret? She felt guilty at

once. Although she did not do it on purpose, it was undoubtedly immoral to spy on other’s privacy.

Without having the time to think more, she wanted to restore the photo and the card yet because of her

shaky hands due to nervousness, she did not succeed at once.

“What are you doing?” A cold voice rang behind her. Allison shuddered and the frame in her hand

dropped once again. However it did not fall onto the ground this time but was caught by Alexander

instead. Allison turned around and met Alexander’s cold eyes. She was no nervous that her throat

constricted. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that.” She did not mean to enter his study room and definitely

did not mean to peek at his secrets. She wondered whether he would believe her.

“Get out.” Although he had lowered his voice, it was not hard to discern the anger from his tone of

voice. Allison’s heart leaped. She had angered him once more. Without any hesitation, she stooped,

carried the box up from the ground and walked out of the room obediently. As she turned to close the

door, she noticed Alexander’s eyes were fixed on the photo. It seemed like it was an important thing to

him.

She blamed herself while closing the door and carried her things downstairs. Bernard had already

placed all the dishes brought on the table. Seeing her carrying the box, he asked, “Missus, may I know

what are you doing?”

“I’m looking for the storage room,” Allison answered honestly. “The storage room is at the attic,”

Bernard replied. Attic? Allison was slightly confused as she had not seen any attic. “Let me take care of

this, missus.” Bernard took the box over from her and said, “Do help yourself with the food, missus,

these are all…”

“Mr. Davis, I think I’ve done something wrong and I’ve made him mad.” Allison interrupted him. Bernard

was confused when he heard her. To be honest, having stayed beside Alexander for so many years, he

had rarely seen Alexander expressing his emotions, and it was even rare for someone to provoke him.

Therefore he was amazed by how lucky Allison was today! “Missus, may I know what have you done?”

“I’ve entered his study room and accidentally touched his…” Photo frame. And I had even discovered

his secret. “It’s all my fault that I did not mention this to missus earlier. Mr. President’s study room is a

forbidden zone and no one is allowed to enter.” Forbidden zone? Allison had now understood. The

study room was Alexander’s absolute private space. If she was in his shoes, she would definitely get

mad too if her private space was invaded. Having thought of that, she regretted even more for her

recklessness.

The dishes tonight were all sent from the Parker’s old mansion and they were all Allison’s favorites. Yet Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

due to what happened today, Allison did not pay attention to the dishes at all. She stuffed some food

into her mouth with a heavy heart yet Alexander still did not come out from his study room.

It was night. After finished cleaning up, Allison lied on the bed. She tossed and turned and could not fall

asleep. Firstly, it was because it was not her usual bed; secondly, she was filled with remorse that she

had foolishly entered Alexander’s study room and upset him. As she dived into her thoughts, the name,

Elaine, suddenly popped out. It kept on lingering in her mind.

Alex. The one that could call him that way must be someone really close to him, and he seemed to

really cherish that photo. So did that mean Elaine was the one Alexander fond of? Having thought of

that, Allison felt slightly uncomfortable. If so, why did Alexander want to tie the knot with her? Anxiety

flooded her and she pulled the blanket over her head, forcing herself not to think of it any further.
