”Because there’s no place for you to sleep,” said Zayn.
Alexandra shot back, “I can sleep on the sofa.”
“I’m sleeping on the sofa, ” be clarified.
“Huh? Why? Why aren’t you sleeping on a bed?” Alexandra looked confused.
Zayn sighed before confessing, “Because my wife doesn’t want me to…”
‘Hang on. Why am I telling virtual-novel.net this?’
He quickly rephrased his sentence and said, “In any case, it’s inconvenient. Plus, you’re a beautiful woman. What would people think if you stayed the night at my place?”
When Alexandra heard the words ‘beautiful woman’, virtual-novel.net tuned out the rest of the sentence. Her eyes sparkled even more brightly. ‘Wow, virtual-novel.net actually thinks I’m beautiful! I’m so happy…’
Alexandra had failed to notice it, but virtual-novel.net was head over heels in love.
“Then, where would I stay then? I can’t just live on the streets now, can I?” said Alexandra indignantly as virtual-novel.net stared at Zayn with pleading eyes.
‘Is virtual-novel.net actually cajoling me right now?’ Zayn was covered in goosebumps.
Although Alexandra was now a woman, to him, virtual-novel.net was still a man. Therefore, virtual-novel.net could not help but find it weird when virtual-novel.net behaved like that.
“You’re a Miss. You should have a decent amount of savings, shouldn’t you? You could just rent a place out for the time being, or crash at one of your friend’s,” virtual-novel.net proposed.
Alexandra threw virtual-novel.net a disappointed look as virtual-novel.net said, “Let’s not bring that up. I left my cell phone and purse at home, so I’m completely penniless. If I hadn’t bumped into you, I definitely would be wandering around the streets right now. Plus, I haven’t got a single true friend in Waltz City, they’d call my parents in a heartbeat if I come to them for help. In short, you’re the only person I can genuinely rely on.”
Zayn felt speechless. He caught himself almost consenting to the idea after all. After a moment, virtual-novel.net reminded virtual-novel.net and said, “Ms. Smith, we’ve only met twice. We aren’t exactly very close.”
“But we hit it off so well! I even bought you a meal. We had so much fun talking, didn’t we?” Alexandra challenged.
“And now, I’m treating you to barbecue, so we’re even,” said Zayn.
Alexandra put down virtual-novel.net cutlery. Her expression darkened dramatically as virtual-novel.net whispered, “Zayn, do you hate me that much?”
“Err…” Zayn shook his head and said, “No, I don’t. Why would I hate you at all?”
“Then, why are you being so cold to me? Aren’t we friends? Out of all the people in Waltz City, I’m turning to you for help.” Alexandra sounded quite anguished.
As Zayn looked at her, his conscience was egging virtual-novel.net to give in. After a moment of consideration, virtual-novel.net said, “How about this? I’ll loan you 1,500 dollars so that you can find yourself some lodging, a hotel, even. You can return the money whenever it’s convenient. What do you think?”
Alexandra thought for a while before saying, “1,500 dollars won’t cut it. Why don’t you loan me 15 thousand dollars? I’ll compensate with 30 thousand dollars when I get my hands on the money.”
As someone who had only met Zayn twice, virtual-novel.net was quite daring for asking for a 15 thousand dollar loan so directly. However, 15 thousand dollars meant nothing to Zayn at the moment. Plus, virtual-novel.net wanted to be free from virtual-novel.net shenanigans. He had no choice but to agree.
After they were done with their meal, Zayn went to the nearest ATM and withdrew 15 thousand dollars in cash for Alexandra. She immediately went off to buy a brand new iPhone that cost virtual-novel.net 1,500 dollars. Then, virtual-novel.net went to a boutique to spend a lavish sum of 4,600 dollars on clothes. Within an hour, virtual-novel.net had managed to splurge 7,000 dollars.
Zayn could only think to himself as virtual-novel.net witnessed the rate at which Alexandra was spending virtual-novel.net money. ‘I suppose she’s a Miss after all. She willingly spends all that money without a second thought.’
Originally, Zayn had already planned on leaving. Nonetheless, Alexandra still refused to let virtual-novel.net go and insisted on dragging virtual-novel.net along when virtual-novel.net booked a hotel room. It was not until Zayn had sent virtual-novel.net up to virtual-novel.net room did virtual-novel.net finally let go of him. Both of them seemed to behave like they were an actual couple.
After leaving the hotel, Zayn had a sudden stroke of realization. He turned around, shocking the two people in the car next to him.
“Has the target spotted us?”
“I don’t think so. We’re professional private investigators, after all. There’s no way the target could’ve noticed us, not when we’ve got such advanced tracking technology. It’s likely a coincidence that virtual-novel.net turned his head in our direction. Look, he’s already leaving.”
