Chapter 285 - Investigating Rhionen Industries (1/2)

On the side of the Sky Bar, The part where the wall was built was deliberately made dark and covered with several large pots containing plants by Caspar, so that Sky Bar visitors would not peek at the penthouse side.

Aleksis looked around and saw that in the middle of the Sky Bar, by the high glass wall, visitors were enjoying foods and drinks while enjoying the view of Singapore from the top of the building.

The festive atmosphere was clearly visible, and people seemed to be really enjoying the party. Nobody paid any attention to Aleksis.

”Alright... I can jump now...” Aleksis murmured.

She managed to lift herself up against the wall and prepared to jump when suddenly a voice called that shocked her and caused her to lose balance.

”Who's there?!!”

”Aaaarrggghhhhh...!!!”

Aleksis' body slammed toward the ground and almost hit the large potted plant made of hard marble when suddenly a strong body moved so quickly to block her fall. Finally, their bodies collided on the floor beside the large pot.

”Ohhh... I'm sorry...” Aleksis tried to get up. Her body did not feel any pain from the fall thanks to the person who blocked her fall in a split second.

She could imagine that that person was surely experiencing extreme pain due to the impact of Aleksis' body weight the impact from the hard floor below. She tried to help the person up while rubbing her hands. ”Please forgive me...”

The man held his aching forehead and slowly rose. His eyes glittered in anger as he stared at the careless girl who just knocked him down.

”What are you doing here, sneaking up like this? Are you a thief?” When his eyes stared at Aleksis' face, who was bending down from feeling guilty, his gleaming glance suddenly turned into fascination.

Aleksis was indeed very, very pretty if she didn't intentionally look like a shabby nerd with big glasses and shabby clothes. The man's voice turned soft, ”Uhm... are you alright?”

Aleksis nodded, ”Yes, I'm fine... Thank you for helping me...”

”Hmm...” The man then wiped his dirty clothes. ”What were you doing on the wall?”

Aleksis realized that she had been caught. She had to fabricate a plausible excuse.

”Uhm... I'm late for work. If I go through the front door, my boss will know that I'm late. That's why I jumped over the wall...” she said as she pretended to feel sad. She bent her face down as if she was super worried of losing her job. ”Please don't report me... I can't be fired, I really need this job...”

The man watched Aleksis closely and after a while he finally nodded. ”Hmm... so you are a waiter in this Sky Bar?”
