Chapter 778

Sheldon took Blair out, and Elizabeth felt annoyed beyond thinking about it. After all, the boss of this research institute was still Sheldon. If Celine were here now, she believed Sheldon wouldn't make things difficult for Celine. On the contrary, Celine would take the initiative for the good of the research institute.

Elizabeth shook her head. She just wanted to finish this research as soon as possible and then retire. If Declan's company needed her, she might take over. If not, she would fulfill her previous dream of going abroad for further studies and switching to jewelry design. But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Elizabeth pulled up a chair and sat down. She took out her phone and removed Alexander from her blacklist. She dialed his number. A moment passed, and Elizabeth frowned. She called twice, but there was no answer. Elizabeth was so annoyed she was about to throw her phone.

The phone rang; the caller ID showed Alexander. Elizabeth's face turned cold instantly. That damn Alexander—she stopped calling him, and he called back. Wasn't he doing this on purpose?

Elizabeth pressed the answer button, put the phone on speaker, and shoved it onto the table, but didn't speak immediately. Alexander didn't say anything either. Both sides were silent, very quiet! Elizabeth stared at the phone screen, waiting for Alexander to speak first.

As time passed, Elizabeth hung up the phone. What was he showing off for?

In the Tudor Group office, Alexander saw the call was hung up and silently looked at Nolan. Nolan wiped his sweat. They were discussing work when Alexander suddenly received a call from Elizabeth. He was very surprised that she had removed him from the blacklist.

But Nolan suggested that since Elizabeth rarely took the initiative, Alexander shouldn't show too much interest and could play hard to get. So Alexander didn't answer the first two calls, but there was no third call.

He had to call back. Nolan also told him to be reserved; Elizabeth's call must be about the research institute's investment. He was now considered an investor, so Elizabeth would definitely be polite. As a result, Elizabeth hung up again.

"Get out," Alexander said coldly to Nolan.

Nolan pouted, "Trust me one more time?"

"Get out!" Alexander was displeased. Alexander must have been crazy to trust the advice of a single guy like Nolan. Elizabeth called Alexander, and he should have just answered.

Alexander called back again. Elizabeth answered. This time, Alexander spoke first. He thought Elizabeth would calmly discuss the investment with him. Unexpectedly, Elizabeth's first words were a question: "Why did you invest in the research institute?"

"Alexander, don't you know I'm at the research institute? What are you trying to do by doing this? Do you want to be my boss? I can't avoid you enough, and you insist on appearing in front of me? Alexander, do you even understand what letting go means? Letting go means you should act like you're dead. As long as I don't deliberately look for you, you should never appear in front of me again!"

Elizabeth's tone was harsh, and every word was like a knife. Alexander's face gradually turned cold as he listened.

"I really don't know what you're thinking!" Elizabeth kept scolding—

Alexander narrowed his eyes. He considered himself not a patient person. But at this moment, he had no choice but to wait until Elizabeth was tired of scolding and there was no sound from her end.

Alexander finally spoke, "Done?"

Elizabeth gritted her teeth, "Done!"
