As Alex posed the question, Autumn’s face turned a deep shade of crimson, a clear sign of embarrassment. She was at a loss for words, her mind unable to form a coherent response. Nervously, she began picking at her nails, a subconscious action borne out of her unease and anxiety. 

“I-I heard you are back, so I came to check on you,” she stammered. 

Alex was puzzled by her peculiar and abashed demeanor. He stood up and gently patted her shoulder, inquiring. “What’s troubling you today? You seem different.” 

Autumn, who had her head lowered, was taken aback by the man’s sudden proximity. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of something she shouldn’t have seen, causing her to gasp in alarm. Next, she swiftly turned away and scrambled to the floor. 

Her actions left Alex in a state of confusion, unaware of what had just transpired. Just then, Flynn’s voice was heard. 

“Alex, you… you’re…” Flynn’s eyes widened as he glanced at Alex’s naked body. Then, his gaze shifted to Autumn, and a sudden realization washed over him; he became acutely aware that he was intruding on their private moment. “I’m truly sorry for interrupting. Please, carry on!” 

With that, Flynn immediately closed the door and left the room. 

When Alex recalled Flynn’s peculiar gaze, he lowered his head and glanced at himself. It was then he realized he was completely naked. 

When he first opened his eyes, he experienced a delightful sensation of coolness that coursed through his entire body. He hadn’t given it much thought as he attributed the coolness to the Foundation Establishment Pill. 

Alex, now fully aware of his lack of clothing and the fact that he stood naked before Autumn, couldn’t help but feel a surge of embarrassment. Even with his typically unwavering confidence, he couldn’t ignore the blush that tinged his cheeks. Acting quickly, he reached for a nearby bedsheet and hastily wrapped it around his body. 

His eyes shifted to where he had been deep in meditation moments ago. As his gaze fell upon the ashes, realization washed over him. It became clear to him that his clothes had been engulfed by the flames. 

Alex scratched his head sheepishly as he said to Autumn. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I had nothing on. I’ve covered myself up now, so you can stand up.” 

Autumn, who had been crouched on the ground, gingerly lowered her fingers from her eyes and stole a glance at Alex. To her relief, she saw that he was no longer unclothed. She stopped covering her eyes, but her cheeks still burned with a deep blush. 

She tried her best to avoid eye contact with Alex. Her blush intensified when her mind involuntarily conjured up images of his unclothed form. 

Noticing Autumn’s prolonged silence, Alex took the initiative to ease the palpable tension in the room, asking, “Ms. Jones, why are you looking for me?” 

“I heard that you had returned, and I thought of coming to see you. Also, my father wanted to invite you for a meal. There’s a dinner gathering tonight, so he asked me to invite you,” Autumn replied shyly 

After explaining her reason for coming. Autumn suddenly remembered that she had accidentally 

dropped her phone earlier. She picked it up from the ground and checked it, relieved it hadn’t been damaged. 

“All right, I got it.” Alex accepted the offer as he had not seen Stefan for a long while. There was no harm in meeting up with the man. 

Autumn’s face lit up when she heard Alex’s agreement. She asked apprehensively, “Alex, how did you get such good skin? You seem even more handsome than before!” 

Alex was taken aback by her question, and glanced at his arms. Indeed, his skin had become much smoother compared to its previously rough texture. However, as a man, he didn’t pay much attention to such matters. 

“I have no idea. Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the pill, he replied nonchalantly.
