"I am done. You should change too," Alexander walked out of the room in khaki pants and a t-shirt, and Evangeline raised her brows.
It looks like he looks good in just anything and everything, no?
"Are you still thinking about going to that meeting? Because if not, then it would be useless to wear that dress you brought me. In fact, I think it's better if I go and -"
"I have placed a fresh T-shirt on the bed. You can wear it," Alexander said, cutting her mid-sentence before he stepped forward.
"Though you are quite tall for a girl, I think it will reach your mid-thighs. You can even choose to not wear your jeans," Alexander cupped her jaws, his hands inching to her neck, and Evangeline looked straight into his eyes.
"I would surely one day when I become a womanizer like you," Evangeline said, and she was about to leave when they heard the door opening with a loud bang.
"Alexander! Alexander!" Evangeline turned around to look at the new person who barged in.
"Benjamin," Alexander said, and Evangeline who immediately recognized the person as the third and eldest Cane brother, felt her blood running cold immediately.
"Why didn't you inform me about it? I heard it from -" Benjamin paused when his gaze fell over the girl beside Alexander, and then on his hand that was almost grabbing her neck.
"What are you doing with the lady? Have you forgotten your manners? Remove your hand from her neck," Benjamin said, and Alexander looked at the girl, that his brother called a lady.
Evangeline's gaze was fixated on Benjamin, and Alexander didn't like any second of it. His hand tightened around her neck, and she snapped out of her daze, looking at Alexander.
"Oh, I should introduce you two," Alexander faked a calm look before looking at his brother.
"He is Benjamin Cane, the owner of one of the biggest entertainment industries in the province. You said you want to become an actress, no? My brother can actually help you with that," Alexander said, observing her sharply.
Yes. Jump on the opportunity. Just like all the girls, go and kiss his boots already. Alexander scoffed and was about to sit on the sofa when Evangeline hummed.
"Nice to meet you," Evangeline turned around, surprising Alexander.
What was she doing? She wants to become an actress and he is the owner of the biggest company. Shouldn't she be boot-licking already? Even if she doesn't want to go the extra mile and embarrass herself, she should at least introduce herself, no? Alexander thought, more confused with this complicated girl.
"I heard what happened. How did they tail you? And in the middle of the highway? Do you even know how -" Benjamin paused when he looked at the girl, unsure if it was okay to talk about gang stuff in front of her.
"Don't bother about her. She was in the same car as me at that time," Alexander said, his gaze falling to her chest where she still had the same big stain, and he sighed.
"I am going to change," Evangeline said before he could say anything, and Alexander hummed, seeing her leave.
As soon as Evangeline left, Benjamin walked to the wine cellar and grabbed one of the finest wines dating all the way back to 100 years, and poured himself a glass.
"That's $5000 worth of the sip you took," Alexander said before he lay on his couch, closing his eyes to calm his raging nerves.
Today the X gang tried to attack him. It was a common thing between gangs, but the main question was, how did they find out that he was there at the moment? All his schedules have been anything but confidential, and no one from his company employees knows about that, but even more so, his visit to the university was completely out of his schedule.
So how the hell did they find out? Alexander tapped his finger on the side of the sofa, his kind playing the incident in his mind all over again.
The next mystery close to him was Evangeline. Just what kind of girl she was? She stays calm even when their car is being chased by goons, and doesn't flinch when she sees blood either.
Every moment since he has met her, he is trying to make her ordinary just like other girls, but every time she proves him wrong. It's almost as if she is trying to show him how tough she is and that she is not like other girls.
"So, this is the first time I am seeing a girl in your house. I hadn't thought this day would ever come," Benjamin said, and Alexander was about to speak when his secretary walked inside.
"Well, we should thank that girl, sir. It was all because she drove like a maniac until the cops showed up that we were able to get out of that situation," The secretary said, and Benjamin raised his brows.
"So she is one of your people? I didn't know you were recruiting females in the province branch now," Benjamin commented.
"She is not our agent, sir. She is someone that the third young master has been attracted to these days and our boss thinks that the girl is not good for his younger brother and that's why he is trying his best to keep them apart," The secretary said, and Benjamin looked at Alexander, amused.
"Is that so? She is the club girl that you tried to keep away from Justin when he was dancing with her?" Benjamin asked, and Alexander hummed.
"Well, it doesn't look like you are just trying to keep the kids apart now. So what exactly are you doing, Alexander?" Benjamin took another sip of his drink, his gaze shifting to a weird mark on his chest that was leaking through the opened two buttons of his t-shirt.
"Wait. Is that... Is that what I am thinking it is?" Benjamin asked, and the secretary immediately looked at his boss before quickly looking away when his gaze met with Alexander's hard ones.
