A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0812

Meanwhile, Alejandro wasn’t asking Tiffany out to dinner but had brought her two bottles of expensive red wine. “You couldn’t make it to the wine tasting the last time, so I brought these for you. Since I have something going on today, let’s have dinner another time.”

Tiffany was well aware of how expensive the red wine that he had given to her was, for even Lillian enjoyed it. Hence, she tactfully declined. “No thanks... I don’t appreciate these kinds of things either. It’s wasted on me. You should keep it for yourself. I’ll buy you lunch when you’re free and I happen to have the time as well.”

Alejandro insisted and told Jett to stuff the wine into her hands. “I don’t like being refused. They’re yours now that I’ve given them to you. It doesn’t matter to me if you’ve wasted it. That’s it for now. I have got to go. By the way... You should visit your best friend, Arianne, more often.”

Tiffany was shocked. “You really know me very well... You know my friends, and what they’re going through. You know everything.”

Alejandro gave a non-committal answer. “As Sun Tzu once said, ‘knowledge precedes victory, confusion precedes defeat’. When it comes to getting to know someone, one should understand everything about her. After all, Arianne is your best friend. I can’t leave her in the dark.”
