Masquerade Ball
Seeing Alexander’s smile, Amelia immediately came back to her senses as she pushed Alexander away from her and he let out a chuckle.
“You look so beautiful today! What’s the secret??” Alexander said as he sat back down and Amelia flushed red.
She couldn’t believe she could be so enchanted by his gaze, he was so evil!
She made a vow to keep her distance from him so she won’t probably lose her sanity.
Oh my goodness.
“There’s no secret, I’ve always been good-looking!” Amelia said after a while.
“Seems like you’ve finally caught your breath after getting all breathless because of my charms” Alexander teased with a smirk on his lip, for some reason, he was satisfied that he had something over Amelia.
It was so fulfilling!
Alexander liked that feeling as he turned to look at Amelia again but she just gave him a hard glare.
He let out a soft laugh as he watched her little face turn red due to anger, she was so cute.
He liked that expression but decided not to tease her anymore.
He relaxed his back on the chair after a while, his smile had suddenly dropped as he thought of how he was getting so attached to Amelia already.
She wasn’t so bad she was more thoughtful and intelligent than most girls he had seen, Hilary wasn’t as half as smart as Amelia.
Hilary was calm, cute, and always liked to get pampered by him but Amelia??….
Wait! Was he comparing them both again??
Alexander shook his head and gave Amelia a side glance, she was surfing through the internet with a serious expression.
She wasn’t at all petty nor relied on him.
She was self-made and relied on herself, and he really admired her courage.
Alexander sighed a bit, so lost in thoughts, and very soon, they reached the building the car went directly to the CEO’s garage and Alexander came out, he directly walked to the other side, which was unlike him.
He opened the car door for Amelia and she was startled.
“What-what’s your deal this time around?? You being nice to me this time doesn’t mean I’m gonna let you go” Amelia said as she closed her laptop and stared at Alexander who was holding the door for her.
Alexander smirked a bit and came closer to her and she instinctively adjusted herself backwards.
“I’m curious..! What are you gonna do??” Alexander asked with an amused smile.
This woman was something.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Amelia stuck out her tongue at him and said “I won’t say it now, if I tell you, I won’t get much pleasure if you aren’t shocked by what I’m gonna do” Amelia scoffed at him and Alexander showed a surprised expression
“Oh, I’m so scared!” Alexander said as he shrieked back a bit Amelia knew he was teasing her again and she just snarled at him before jumping down from the car and Alex took a step back.
Alexander walked behind Amelia as they headed to the elevator but Amelia quickly turned to face him and pointed her index finger at him “And you… don’t come close to me, we’re separate people who have nothing to do with each other in the office”
Alexander used his index finger to poke her index finger that she was pointing at his chest, Amelia looked at her index finger before looking at Alexander again.
“We have nothing to do with each other anyways so why stress yourself?” Alexander said lazily and poked her forehead “Dummy!!”
Amelia blinked for a while “We-we have nothing to do with each other??”
Alexander walked past her as a profound smile emerged on his lips.
Amelia was still muttering to herself that Alexander said they had nothing to do with each other.
“Wait seriously??” Amelia turned to run to the elevator before the door closed.
Alexander looked at her for a while and Amelia didn’t say anything, she just stood there.
“Don’t let it stress you, we have something to do with each other, we’re a couple” Alexander said seriously and Amelia scoffed loudly which made Alexander wrinkle his face.
“What’s with the snorting?? Do you intend to go marry another man??” Alexander asked immediately displeased.
“Shut up, not that, after six months, we’re done and I’m surely gonna get married, I’m not a wood you know,” Amelia said not noticing Alexander’s ghastly expression.
“Getting married my foot” Alexander muttered and Amelia looked at him.
“Did you say something??” Amelia asked as she had heard a mumble.
Alexander didn’t say a word but his angry expression remained and just then the elevator opened and they both walked out.
As they walked out, George immediately came from his office and when he saw Alexander, he walked towards them in hurried strides, Amelia excused Herself and walked away first for them to discuss their matters.
Alexander went to George’s office to discuss while Amelia directly went to Alexander’s office, he had given her the keys earlier when he followed George.
“Alexander, do you still remember that Mr Whacker’s Masquerade ball will be held this evening??” George asked and Alexander hummed
“Why did you accept to go?? He wants you to bring a female partner” George said
“And why are you worried on my behalf?? I’m not worried” Alexander said without further ado.
George gazed at him for a while with the urge to punch him “Even if you’re fine, can you quarantine Ash’s safety??”
Alexander immediately frowned as he looked at George “And what’s my deal with Ash??”
“Ehh??” George suddenly look as if he just swallowed shit as he was confused.
“Who’s gonna be your partner for the ball if not Ash??” George asked “You both have always attended events like this together and besides she’s more exposed, I got information that Knight would be there too and with his puppet, Grey.”
Alexander scoffed a bit, it was true that he had always taken ash to such events as his partner after he and Hilary broke up but now:
” I’m taking Amelia with me, I want her to know how the system works, I want her to understand my world,” Alexander said as he narrowed his eyes “In case things turn out bad, I want her to be aware of a knight so she won’t find him unfamiliar when he comes to her” Alexander added and thought that it was also part of the contract.
Amelia is already a smart girl and can take in the details easily, no wonder his father bought her of all girls from the other wealthy men.
She’s more like a man at heart.
