"Why do you want the door to be locked? What sort of embarrassing activity are you going to engage yourself in?" Alex teased, grinning. "I-It''s my first time in life..." Ginny raised her head and stared at Alex, pleading.


    "Have you identally misperceived my instructions? It seems like you''re overthinking things because the only things I have in store for you are tons of assignments," Alex stated sarcastically.


    Once he finished his sentence, he handed over a stack of documents to Ginny. "I want you to get these documents all sorted out as soon as possible. If it requires my attention, ssify it ording to the urgency of the task and revert to me after. If it''s not that important, exercise your own judgment and deal with it ordingly. Then, revert to the respective departments in charge."


    "Huh?" Ginny was at a loss for words.


    She was utterly embarrassed the moment she returned to her senses because she realized that she had misperceived Alex''s words. Thus, she couldn''t wait to have her head in the sand.


    Does that mean I''m not attractive enough to charm Alex?


    In the end, Ginny felt a sense of relief, albeit feeling greatly disappointed.


    "Yes, Mr. Jefferson. I''ll work on it immediately." Ginny took over the stack of documents and brought them along with her to her seat in Alex''s office.


    "I want you to keep my identity confidential from everyone, including your boyfriend. If others figure out my actual identity, I''ll terminate you and your boyfriend altogether," Alex warned callously.


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Jefferson. I won''t bring it up in front of anyone else!" Ginny turned around, assuring Alex because she was afraid she would lose the job.


    "You''re not allowed to tell my wife either," Alex warned Ginny in a serious tone.


    "Alright, Mr. Jefferson. I''ll definitely keep that in mind." Ginny nodded.


    She couldn''t figure out the rationale behind why Alex had chosen to be the Jennings family''s live-in son-inw when he was such a capable man.


    Could it be that he''s merely fooling around with Heather? That''s impossible, right? I mean, they have a child together... Maybe he intended to fool around with Heather initially, but since she has conceived his child, he had no choice but to get married to Heather. Perhaps he can''t afford to tell her the truth because he''s afraid she will file for divorce and demand alimony from him.


    Ginny turned the idea over in her mind for some time and felt that she might stand a chance topete against Heather.


    In the end, she had to forget about the fantasy in her mind for the time being as she had to deal with the stack of documents Alex had put her in charge of.


    Alex decided to chase Ginny out of his office because he couldn''t wait to assimte the relic of the Divine Priest. He told her to continue with her task in Jessica''s office for the time being and promised that he would get someone to ready her office in the afternoon.


    "I don''t want to be interrupted by anyone now. If anyone shows up, deal with them on my behalf," Alex instructed.


    "Yes, Mr. Jefferson," Ginny replied before heading out of Alex''s office with the stack of documents in her hands.novelbin


    Once Ginny left the office, Alex reached for the relic of the Divine Priest once again. He held on to the relic firmly in his hand and started assimting the power ording to the methods prescribed in Nine Heaven Scrolls.


    It took him some time to figure out the trick behind the assimtion process. Finally, he grasped the gist and started drawing the mysterious power of the essence hidden within the relic.


    Three hourster, the stone turned into an ordinary one because Alex hadpletely assimted the Mortal Force embedded within the relic. Over the past three hours, he felt the power incorporating into his system through his palms.


    Alex got up from his seat tried moving around. Upon doing so, he realized the Mortal Force he possessed was a fold more than those he possessed before the assimtion.


    He was overjoyed because he was certain that he would now be able to take on the hitmen Susan might sending after him.


    He reached for his phone and was about to get in touch with Charlie. He wanted thetter to stop wasting his time on Susan, but he received a call from Jessica before he could make the call.
