The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 47 Mr. Carter Likes Men Benjamin's second program upgrade test was about to kick off, and Alexander was glued to the computer screen.

Allison took a half-day off and set up five computers at home. She even gave Felicity the day off because she wanted to keep this under wraps, especially from Alexander.

"Allison, Dr. White is ready. Should we get started?" After setting up everything, Allison put on her headset and said, "Go for it!" As soon as Gaia went online, Alexander was right there. The new program had tons of fresh content, and the more Alexander saw, the more blown away he was. This medical Al detection system needed to blend medicine with Al tech, and there were so many pieces to fit together. Just the diagnostic system alone had the Carter Group's IT department in a tizzy.

But when Gaia's system showed up, it totally shattered their expectations.

An engineer next to Alexander was super excited and said, "Mr. Carter, we've never seen this kind of program before. It's tough to admit, but even with over a decade of experience, we couldn't create something this perfect. Gaia is just incredible!" Alexander was stunned too. As he thought about who could perfectly mix medicine and computer tech, Allison's face popped into his mind. He shook his head, finding it hard to believe. How could Gaia be Allison? Sure, Allison had great medical skills, but computers...

Then he remembered the gat the Sloane celebration party. Clearing the gin half an hour with a low- level character, was impossible without sIT skills.

Even though Alexander had followed along the whole time, it was because the gwas made by the Carter Group, so he knew the tricks.

Thinking about this, Alexander called James. "Check what Allison is up to right now." James was puzzled. Allison was still a student, so she should be in school, right? But since it was Alexander's order, he had to check. Soon, he got the info. "Mr. Carter, Ms. Bennett took a half-day off. She should be at hnow!" At home? Alexander quickly stood up, pulled James to his seat, and said, "Watch the program on the computer and keepupdated on Gaia's every move!" With that, Alexander grabbed his car keys and rushed out of the Carter Group.

Meanwhile, Allison was in the middle of the most critical part of the test when Benjamin hit a snag, and the program couldn't move forward. After thinking for a bit, Allison decided to pack up all the equipment and left hwith a suitcase. She took a cab to Benjamin's research institute. Just as she was leaving the gate, she happened to pass by Alexander.

Alexander was in such a hurry to confirm his suspicions that he didn't notice the cab leaving the community. Allison was looking at her phone and didn't see him either, so they missed each other perfectly.

Cleo called Allison. "Allison, Dr. White has borrowed a lab. Sprograms might need to be finished there!" Allison replied, "That's what I asked for. They're not familiar enough with Al tech, so a lot of their procedures are outdated. I might be busy for a few days. Find a way to getstoff!" Allison didn't want to alert too many people, so before entering the lab, she sent a text to Alexander: [I have to go back to Avalon City for something. Don't worry!] By this time, Alexander was already at the apartment and didn't see Allison inside. He thought, 'Did I suspect the wrong person?' Then he got Allison's text, and for sreason, he felt a bit down as he replied: [Stay safe and eat well!] Seeing the message, Allison smiled. It felt like Alexander was a caring boyfriend, which made her blush a little. What a strange yet sweet thought.

Allison had already told Benjamin she wanted to keep her identity and whereabouts under wraps, so the lab work was strictly between her and Benjamin.

For Genesis Creations, Allison was the key player, so her info had to stay hidden.

Once everything was set, Allison said to Benjamin, "Dr. White, let's get started! I'll run a simulation first. You can check for any gaps and fill them in. It'll take at least three months to perfect this system, so we'll need to run a lot of tests. I can provide tech support, but you guys need to master sof this yourselves!" Benjamin was thrilled and really liked Allison. "Allison, how about joining my research institute? I'll make you the leader!" It was a generous offer, but Allison didn't want to be tied down to a research institute.

So she declined, "Dr. White, I'm not looking to join any research institute right now. This kind of collaboration works well, don't you think?" Benjamin hadn't really expected Allison to join his institute. He knew her background and that she wasn't cut out for research. But he hated to let such talent go.

Allison disappeared for three days, and even Alexander couldn't find her, which made him anxious. "Booka flight to Avalon City right now!" Alexander was on his way to the airport to find Allison when he got a call from Mia. "Uncle Alexander, today is the family gathering. Don't forget to cback!" Hearing this, Alexander frowned. The Carter family gathered at the Carter Manor on the 1st and 15th of every month. It was a fixed date, and if he didn't go, Aiden would scold him. So, he decided to head back to The Carter Manor first. As soon as he walked in, he heard Mia excitedly talking to Aiden about her friend, Allison. "Grandpa, you have no idea how amazing Allison is. She's beautiful and smart. If I were a boy, I'd totally go after her!" Aiden smiled and tapped Mia's forehead. "You've been talking about her for a while. If she's that great, invite her over for dinner soon. I want to meet her!" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! "Sure!" Mia was thrilled, while Alexander sat quietly on the sofa.

Liliana saw him and cover to sit next to him. "Something on your mind?" Alexander looked up at Liliana.

Seeing this, Liliana frowned, her eyes deepening. "Is it about Allison?" Mentioning Allison made Alexander's face darken, so it seemed it was.

Liliana shook her head, feeling a bit helpless. "Allison is just an eighteen-year-old girl. How could you chase after her?" With that, she got up to help with the dishes in the kitchen.

Seeing Alexander, his youngest son, Aiden got angry. Alexander wasm almost thirty and still didn't have a woman by his side. What was he thinking? Did he like men?

The more Aiden thought about it, the more worried he got. "Alexander heard Sloane is back. She even won a N jewelry design award. How about inviting her over for dinner this weekend?"

Dinner was just an excuse; it was really a matchmaking attempt. Alexander looked at Aiden and said flatly, "I'm not interested in Sloane, and don't like her. Please don't meddle and ruin her reputation!" Aiden was furious and slammed the table. "Then tell me, when will you get married? I'm almost seventy. Will I see you get married in my lifetime? Or do you like men?" Hearing this, Mia couldn't hold back and spat out her tea, looking at Alexander in shock.

Alexander's face turned very dark. He really didn't know what kind of nonsense was in Aiden's head.

Alexander said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll bring you a daughter-in-law. The Grey family isn't as simple as you think. It's best to keep your distance from them!"
