Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: You Are Mine

“Flight no 20341, departing for ….. Is about to leave. The passengers are requested to board the plane please.” As soon as the announcement rang, Director Reid stood up and collected the students. Alric had been sitting with him all the time. He did not even spare a glance at Amyra as if he did not know her.

Yet when they boarded the flight, their seats were near each other in the business class. While the students were in the economy class. Nora closed her eyes and decided to sleep. She did not care about her seat or others.

Amyra who stood there till late to see disappointment on Nora’s face felt indignant again.

“Ha! She is such an actor.” she mumbled as she returned to her seat. “No wonder you have hired her to keep an eye on Alex.” Alric stiffened for a second but he did not respond.

“I was talking to my aunt yesterday, she was so relieved that I am accompanying you. She sounded worried about you.” Amyra wrapped her hands around his arms despite the divider making it uncomfortable. But Alric pulled his arm away.

“Amyra..!”

“We had been together since playschool Alric. We have studied together and grown up as friends. Now our family wanted us to marry. I am successful, strong and have earned a name for myself. Yet, I am kind and support your family. What else do you want in a marriage? Have you not said that you don’t care who the girl is as long as your mother approves of her? I am approved by Aunt Ava. Why are you so cold to me then?” her eyes turned misty at once. Tears spilled as she sniffled.

A young and beautiful girl with all the wealth and success. Amyra was sure that she was perfect. Men line around to her to get her attention. But from the start, she had concentrated on this man. Yet! No matter how long she waited, he did not reply. As if her words had nothing to do with him.

“Alric! Are you behind that girl Nora?” She did not hide her disgust as she took her name. Alric finally narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

“You have lost your mind. She is just a child!” a child? Does a man look at a child like that? She did not expose Alric, but smiled brightly as if her worries had been dispersed.

Since he did not know his own feelings. She would not be a fool to expose them. She knew Alirc was not lying. He never lies. Either he speaks the truth bluntly or he keeps his silence.

“Then.. Do you have anyone else in your life now?” as long as she did not have a threat, she could wait for a few more months or even a year. But the picture she had received from paparazzi was making a hole in her pocket.

That was the only reason she had come this far to join a few students, cancelling her heavy schedule.

“You are thinking way too much.” He closed his eyes and did not continue further. Amyra’s expressions were ugly. It looked like she wanted to kill someone. Hiding a chest full of fury, she took out a file and passed it to Alric again.

“I know that you are not sleeping. Since you do not want to talk about private matters, let’s discuss business. My father had recently invested in this formula. The medicine would have a calming effect on the cancer patients. What do you think about it launching in your hospital? We will give it for free to the first hundred cancer patients in the charity ward.” Alric nodded and took the file from her.

The biggest reason that he could not get rid of Amyra in so long was because her father was the owner of the biggest pharmaceuticals company and he had a chain of hospitals. Their ties went deep. One day, she would inherit those companies.

They would be a perfect match then. With their collaboration, they would monopolize the market of health and treatment. That was why her father was set on him. But he… earlier he was not against it that much. After all, the merger would benefit both parties. But recently, he felt irked whenever he looked at her.

He took the file and started reading. As expected the file was made meticulously.

“You want to research the patients! The medicine still needs final approval?” Amyra rolled her eyes. She looked amused.

“Alric! Any hospital would be thankful as long as the offer would be given to them. Patients would line around our house and beg to use them as the guinea pig. My father is only offering this deal to you because I asked him to. Even you know that final approval could only be received after the medicine is tested. And you can not expect me to find rats suffering from breast cancer. Do you?” there was no hint of worry or pity as she talked about patients suffering from cancer.

But Alric was used to her behavior. The kind and sweet girl in front of others was cold and calculating in reality.

If the treatment is successful, it will help the patients suffering from constant pain. It would help them persist in the harsh treatment. But the medicine could have many side effects.

“I will discuss this with my team. Thank you.” Amyra smiled brightly and nodded. She found a few more topics related with treatment to force him to talk to her while she smiled lovingly. From a distance, it would look like they were whispering sweet words to each other.

In the distance, a man was hiding his face with the newspaper. But he was hiding a camera in his hands and taking secret pictures of both of them. From his angle, it looked like Amyra was leaning too close to Alric’s face and they were up for a kiss. Amayra leaned closer as she felt the beam of the camera.

‘Alric! You are mine!’
