Chapter 327 Got Rejected? 

Alice got an email notification right away. 

Honestly, she didn’t feel much for her biological parents. 

Whether they came back or not had nothing to do with her. 

The only reason she was slightly interested was that their research was still tied to overseas labs.

Also, she had found out earlier that Sun was coming to Drakoria. Then her biological parents suddenly returned. The timing felt strange. 

To make sure nothing went wrong, she had been keeping a close eye on it. 

Alice nodded. “Okay, I get it. Don’t worry, this won’t hurt me.” 

Risa laughed. “Yeah, I know! You’re the most powerful person in the world!” 

Alice said, “You don’t have to mock me like that.” 

Risa burst out laughing. “I’m not!” 

When Alice walked back into the room, Eric opened his eyes. 

He hadn’t really been asleep. He just wanted to stay there with her. 

No clear reason, he just felt like it. 

He thought she was in a bad mood because of her adoptive parents. If he weren’t around, she might stay down for a long time. 

Even if he just sat there doing nothing, it seemed to distract her a bit and keep her from thinking about bad things. 

Eric rubbed his forehead. 

He wasn’t sure why he was suddenly so worried about how she felt. 

He used to be a total realist who didn’t care about that kind of thing. 

Since he recovered from his illness, his mindset has felt… off. 

Maybe he should see a therapist? 

“I just got a call from a friend. Mr. Eric, would you like some coffee?” 

Eric perked up and nodded. “Sure. Are you making it?” 

Alice hadn’t planned on going through all the trouble, but since he asked, it would be awkward to refuse. 

After all, she owed him a favor.

She took out the tools and started preparing it. 

As the steam rose, her face turned a soft pink from the heat. 

Her lips moved slightly as she worked, and for some reason, the room started feeling incredibly hot to Eric. 

Eric loosened his tie and swallowed hard a few times. 

His throat felt like it was on fire. 

The office was deep inside the IT department. 

Partly for convenience. 

And partly because Ruby wanted to make things hard for Alice by giving her a tiny workspace. 

Now, because the room was so small, it felt… cramped and stuffy. 

Alice loved loose hoodies and dressed casually.

As she leaned forward to hand him his coffee, the view of her collarbone and the shadow beneath it was enough to wake the “monster” inside him. 

Sweat formed on his forehead. 

He grabbed the cup and drank the whole thing in one go. 

“Hey, it’s hot-”

Before Alice could finish, Eric suddenly stood up. 

Without saying a single word, he turned and bolted out of the room. 

Alice was speechless. 

Watching him leave in such a rush, she couldn’t help but laugh. 

Guess he got burned. 

His tongue is probably numb. 

He probably can’t even talk. 

So funny. 

Alice couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud. 

Meanwhile, Eric had already made it back to the design department. 

When people greeted him, he just nodded coldly without saying a word. 

Everyone was confused. 

Is Mr. Eric in a bad mood?

When Daniel heard about this, he felt like something was definitely wrong. 

First of all, there was a princess carry today! 

Didn’t that mean their relationship was official now? 

if Eric looked that upset, it could only mean one thing… He got rejected? 

Daniel suddenly felt a bit sorry for him. 

Eric usually got whatever he wanted in life, but now he was finally suffering because of love. 

Tsk tsk. Serves him right. 

Daniel would just sit back and watch the show. 

Otherwise, with Eric in a bad mood, Daniel might become the punching bag. 

That said, Daniel really did need to see Alice. 

After making sure she wasn’t busy, he knocked on her door. 

Alice was still drinking coffee. 

She looked like she was in a great mood. 

Daniel was baffled. 

Didn’t they just fight? 

Is Mr. Eric the only one hurting here? 

“Is something up?” 

Seeing Daniel stand there without speaking, Alice invited him to sit and talk. 

The coffee she had just made was actually really good. 

Eric missed out, but Daniel was in luck. 

“Mrs. Nolan, this is about your biological parents,” Daniel said. 

“They contacted Nolan Group just now. They want to partner with us on a patent.” 

Normally, Nolan Group had a specific team for this kind of deal. 

But since the other side was Alice’s biological parents–and big names in the field–they had to take it seriously. 

Alice shook her head. “No. Tell them we’re not interested.” 

Daniel froze. “Why?” 

Putting personal feelings aside, the Spencers were some of the most capable scientists in the cryptography field.
