When Alger left with Winnie, everyone here made way for them.

Cyril behind them was extremely enraged in his mind. He looked at Alger and said with a deep voice, “Alger, you’ll pay for this!”

However, Alger didn’t seem to hear his words. He just calmly walked outside while holding Winnie’s hand.

Looking at Alger next to her, Winnie’s heart raced.

Winnie looked at Alger and said abruptly, “Alger, you seem to have changed.”

“Hm?”

Alger looked at Winnie and said in confusion, “Why do you suddenly say so?”

After pondering for a while, Winnie began to say, “First, you’ve just started to work. How did you become the General Manager so quickly? People usually start from being a small employee, right?

“Besides, why does the CEO of the Youssie Corporation trust you so much and even asked you to attend such an event on his behalf? You even beat someone up in front of so many people at the banquet held by the Wells family.

“Plus, you didn’t seem to care about the consequences at all. Aren’t you worried that the CEO of the Youssie Corporation would fire you?”

After hearing what Winnie said, Alger laughed.

It was because the meaning behind these words was telling Alger that Winnie cared a lot about him right now.

In response, Alger said indifferently, “And?”

“You’re still like this?”

Seeing Alger’s attitude, Winnie was a bit dissatisfied in her mind and said, “Do you not understand what I just said to you? Have you forgotten how these people ridiculed you before?

“You finally got a job now. If you piss the CEO of the Youssie Corporation off and lose this job, what do you think will happen?”

Seeing that Winnie seemed to be really enraged, Alger comforted her anxiously, “Winnie, don’t worry. The things you worry about won’t happen!

“I know. There were indeed many people mocking me in the past, thinking that I’m useless and that you aren’t living a happy life with me.

“But it’s different now. I’ll make you happy. I won’t let any of these people who bullied you go! I know what I should do.

“I must let everyone understand that I got your back. You’re not alone, and you’re not someone they could bully casually.

“Even if I’m fired by the CEO of the Youssie Corporation because of this, I don’t care!”

Of course, he wouldn’t be fired. After all, Alger was the CEO of the Youssie Corporation.

After hearing these words, Winnie couldn’t seem to react properly. She looked at Alger in shock, and her heart raced again.

Alger was indeed different from before in these past few days. Even Winnie found him very unfamiliar, but it was also this Alger who moved Winnie’s heart.

Alger looked at Winnie and said, “I don’t care how those people ridicule me.”

Winnie frowned and said after hearing that, “You don’t care, but I care. You’re with me, and you’re my husband. How can I just watch those people ridicule you like that?”

This time, Alger was startled. This was the first time he had heard Winnie say that he was her husband, which made Alger delighted.

Out of excitement, Alger pulled Winnie in and held her in his arms.

This could be said to be the closest moment between the two of them ever since they were married, not just physically, but also spiritually.

Winnie froze. She wanted to struggle subconsciously, but she eventually reached out and hugged back Alger slowly.

Winnie could hear Alger’s determined voice in her ears.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let those people ridicule me anymore.”

The two of them hugged for a while. Winnie only pushed Alger away until the voice of pedestrians on the side of the road came.

Her face was full of shyness, which made Alger feel even better.

When Alger and Winnie came home, Winnie got a call before she could even sit down.

Something bad seemed to have happened in the company, so Winnie must rush back immediately right now.

Alger didn’t say anything, because she knew that the company’s matters were very important to Winnie.

After coming to the company, Winnie was told that their company’s market was being occupied right now. The other party even seemed to have gone mad, as if they wanted to stick to the Rolle Corporation.

Additionally, part of the business of the company was stolen by the other party.

Winnie was very worried about this, so she immediately asked someone to investigate which company was doing this.

Meanwhile, Alger also headed to the company not long after Winnie left.

However, as soon as he came to the entrance and was about to go in, he ran into someone.

Since Alger was on his phone just now, he immediately apologized after bumping into the person.

However, the other party was reluctant to forgive him. He even scolded him without hesitation, “Don’t you look at the road when you walk? What’s the use of your eyes?!

“My clothes are very expensive. If you make them dirty, can you even compensate for them?”

This made Alger very dissatisfied in his mind. Even though he was wrong in this incident, he had already apologized. Did the person have to refuse to forgive him?

Besides, how expensive would this suit be? He was wrong even if he had only touched it accidentally?

In the face of the rebuke, Alger stood firm. He looked at the man and said, “Didn’t I apologize to you already? Do you have to be like this? But I’m curious how much your clothes are worth!”

The man was disdainful in his mind when he saw Alger’s casual outfit. He didn’t even want to talk nonsense to Alger. He just directly looked at the security guard on the side and said.

“What are you doing here? Why aren’t you dealing with such a person?”

The security guard glanced at this man and ignored him.

After all, he had seen Alger go in and out of the place all the time, so he certainly was someone from the company. It was a no-brainer that the security guard would not care about what the man said.

However, this made the man even more furious. He said, “Did you hear what I said? Do you want to be fired?”

The security guard frowned and said after hearing that, “What does it have to do with you? Even if I’m fired, it’s none of your business.”

“Haha, you’ll know later. I’ll show all of you whether this has something to do with me or not right now!” Apparently, the security guard’s attitude pissed the man off..
