”Anything else?” asked Zayn.
Alexandra stroked virtual-novel.net stomach. “I haven’t had lunch, so I’m a little hungry. Eat with me?”
Zayn shook his head. “No, thanks. I’ve eaten.”
Surprisingly, Alexandra caught his hand and acted cute like a kitten. “Please… Come on… Eat with me. It’s still early now. It won’t take up much of your time.”
Zayn was embarrassed when virtual-novel.net held his hand. He was a married man and should not be touching a woman unnecessarily now. Frying his hand away, virtual-novel.net countered, “But why must I accompany you?”
“Because I only have you as my friend in Waltz City,” Alexandra answered matter of factly.
Zayn rolled his eyes mentally. To be honest, his meal just now had been in a hurry and virtual-novel.net was indeed still hungry. Now that Alexandra insisted and refused to get down from the car, virtual-novel.net could only agree to virtual-novel.net and eat at the hotel.
When virtual-novel.net alighted from the vehicle, Zayn was sharp enough to sense that both tracking professionals were still around. From the looks of it, they were most probably sent by Alexandra’s family.
“Your family’s quite concerned about you, huh, sending bodyguards to protect you in secret,” Zayn said with a chuckle after they were seated.
There was a brief pause from Alexandra before virtual-novel.net looked around. “No? I sneaked out this time. I didn’t even bring my phone. How would they know where I’ve gone?”
Zayn grinned but said nothing. He had already found out that a tracking device was attached to virtual-novel.net hairclip, so virtual-novel.net family would know virtual-novel.net location no matter where virtual-novel.net went. Nonetheless, this was not his place to disclose it. This was the effort of Alexandra’s family to protect her.
When Alexandra figured it out, virtual-novel.net scoffed in frustration, “I won’t go back for whatever it’s worth. I’m not getting married to William Brown!”
‘William Brown?’ Zayn frowned the moment virtual-novel.net heard the name. This was the man who thought of taking advantage of Faye by saying that virtual-novel.net would invest 15 million dollars in Neotech. What a coincidence that virtual-novel.net was Alexandra’s fiancé!
Zayn turned to look thoughtful and amused.
“William Brown truly isn’t a nice guy, ” Zayn supplied with a nod. After crossing paths several times, Zayn realized that Alexandra was a decent woman. It would be a waste for virtual-novel.net to get married to a scumbag like William.
Alexandra was puzzled and asked curiously, “You know him?”
“You can say that,” Zayn answered with a nod.
“I knew that he’s foul. The first time we met, his eyes were glued to my legs. He thought virtual-novel.net was being inconspicuous, but I saw it all. Disgusting! I don’t even know what my dad’s thinking. Why would virtual-novel.net make me marry someone like this?” Alexandra was furious and indignant the moment virtual-novel.net started and rambled on.
Noting that virtual-novel.net had a bad impression of William, Zayn did not add to the complaints lest virtual-novel.net looked like a gossipmonger.
“Didn’t you say you want to eat?” virtual-novel.net reminded when Alexandra showed no sign of stopping virtual-novel.net ranting. That snapped virtual-novel.net out of it. “Right, right. I haven’t eaten. I’m starving!”
She patted virtual-novel.net stomach as virtual-novel.net spoke, prompting Zayn to shift his gaze away in politeness.
When Zayn and Alexandra entered the hotel together, a car drove in from some distance away. The person who was in the car looked surprised by what virtual-novel.net saw before an amused smirk tugged the comers of his lips as virtual-novel.net made a call. “Mr. Brown, I heard that you got engaged with the Smith girl, hmm?”
