Alexandra tried to chase after them but the man and the bodyguards had disappeared out of the hallway and into the elevator. She hung virtual-novel.net head in distress. “Ah, what have I done!”
Zayn felt even more speechless. “What happened to your bravado? Why are you regretting this all of a sudden?”
“I’m worried about you!” Alexandra rubbed virtual-novel.net temples and said in worrisome remorse, “You don’t know what my uncle is like. He’s a fuddy-duddy with a hot temper, super vengeful. I’m his niece, so he’s used to me talking back to him. He won’t lay a finger on me even if I rile virtual-novel.net up. Complaining to my Dad is the worst thing that virtual-novel.net could do, but you’re different. You’re an outsider, and you call yourself my boyfriend too. He was probably fuming when you hit virtual-novel.net with that. Based on his character, virtual-novel.net won’t be letting you off so easily…”
Alexandra slapped virtual-novel.net face lightly in chagrin. “Sigh, it’s all my fault I should’ve been more specific when I sent that text message.”
“That’s what you’re worried about? It’s fine, your uncle can’t do much to me,” Zayn replied.
Alexandra shook virtual-novel.net head. “No, you don’t know my uncle. He’s powerful. What’s worse is that he’s super petty. He’ll be coming back for you, that’s for sure.”
She paced back and forth in distress. After some visible struggle, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth. “Why don’t… I should just go back home and tell my Dad about it. That’ll fix it.”
“You too, just now…” Alexandra wanted to grumble to Zayn, but virtual-novel.net realized that it was inappropriate for virtual-novel.net to bring it up. Since virtual-novel.net was the one who had invited the man over, virtual-novel.net was the one to blame for obfuscating the situation.
Shaking his head at Alexandra’s guilt-ridden state, Zayn comforted her. “Don’t worry. I’ll be careful. I’ll go into hiding if something goes wrong. Your uncle will forget about me in no time.”
“Mmph, I guess that’s our only choice,” Alexandra answered. “If my uncle tries to get back at you, call me right away.”
“Sure…”
While Alexandra went to take a shower, Zayn walked out of the room to call Sean. He asked virtual-novel.net for Franklin Smith’s identity and details.
From what Sean had gathered, Franklin was Victor’s younger brother and was quite reputed in the business field. He had several companies under his name. Zayn took note of the fact that virtual-novel.net was acquainted to Mr. Hyde, which made virtual-novel.net tougher to deal with.
Sean subtly asked Zayn if virtual-novel.net had offended Franklin, but the latter ignored virtual-novel.net entirely. He was never going to tell Sean the truth. He was Zayn’s subordinate, no superior would ever answer to a subordinate. Zayn chided the man as well, warning virtual-novel.net to keep his nose out of business that did not involve him.
Things were getting interesting. That was someone Lil Hyde knew…
Alexandra washed up and got changed, looking pretty in virtual-novel.net new attire. After abandoning virtual-novel.net masculine choice of attire, virtual-novel.net was now radiating charming femininity. Truth to be told, everyone could see straight through virtual-novel.net crossdressing because of how great virtual-novel.net figure was, one could see through virtual-novel.net in a single glance. The aura that virtual-novel.net emanated could not be confused for anything but a woman’s.
As one of the three most beautiful women in Waltz City, there was no denying Alexandra’s appeal. She was much prettier than most of the female celebrities in show business.
Zayn looked pretty worthless standing next to her, in fact, virtual-novel.net was the target of almost every man’s envy.
Alexandra was hungry so virtual-novel.net suggested that they have supper. Since Zayn was pretty bored being by himself, virtual-novel.net agreed to it.
She was in a much better mood after showering. Her eyes were constantly grazing over Zayn when they walked shoulder to shoulder. She tried to be as discreet as virtual-novel.net could be. However, as soon as Zayn tried to meet virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net avoided his gaze like a little frightened bunny.
It made Zayn speechless. He stroked his nose, asking, “What? Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?”
“No…” Alexandra shook virtual-novel.net head, though virtual-novel.net blushing cheeks gave virtual-novel.net feelings away.
Zayn rolled his eyes. Zayn thought that Alexandra was acting strange tonight. He actually preferred the easygoing Alex who cross dressed over the Alexandra who blushed for no apparent reason and kept sneaking peeks at him.
After some time, Alexandra thought that Zayn had turned into a rock-he was completely reactionless. She asked, “Oh yeah, where did you learn how to fight like that? You’re good.”
Her eyes were brimming with admiration as virtual-novel.net spoke. As someone who read way too many novels for virtual-novel.net own good, virtual-novel.net adoration for people who knew were proficient in martial arts was unheard of in most women. Alexandra would give countless brownie points to any of virtual-novel.net suitors who were trained in its intricacies.
