Chapter 632 Jealousy
Alex’s secretary, Liana seductively walked towards them.
“Mr. Jefferson, I made some soup for you. I’ve boiled it since I got off from work, and it took me almost two hours! I heard that you’ll be here and I want to give it to you personally.” Liana showed him a thermos flask.
As she got closer to Alex, only then did she notice Carlene who was beside him.
She looked exactly like the person printed on the billboard. Almost immediately, Liana was able to guess who she was.
She must be the singer recently taken in by the Four Seas Corporation.
In the meantime, Carlene was also staring at her. Their gazes locked as sparks kindled.
As women, they both knew what each other were thinking.
They were sizing up each other, but they could not tell who was more superior. Finally, Liana gave Carlene one last stare before shifting her attention to Alex.
“That won’t be necessary. I’m having dinner with Carlene. You should have it yourself. It’s been a long day for you. You should get some rest too.” Alex rejected her gesture.
It was as if the cupid had arrived. Alex could not believe what was going on. First, it was Carlene, then followed by Liana. One problem after the other.
If he knew this would happen, he would never have attended the concert. Practicing Alchemy in the Sakura Club would have avoided all these shenanigans.
Carlene had her jealousy level skyrocketing. Ever since the moment Liana arrived, she had been trying to throw herself at Alex, even acting coquettishly to get her way!
“Mr. Jefferson, let’s go. The restaurant is closing soon,” Carlene ushered him.
“All right.” Alex nodded.
While he got into the driver’s seat, Carlene hopped into the passenger seat.
Liana was jealous of the two. She was not willing to concede defeat. Without asking, she entered the backseat of the car.
She shamelessly asked, “Mr. Jefferson, I’ve been busy preparing the soup for you. So, I have yet to have my dinner. Can I join you guys?”
Alex could not bring himself to reject her request. Since she wanted to join, it would be unreasonable to chase her out of the car.
Carlene, who was seated at the passenger seat was displeased. Her chest began heaving rapidly, clearly
out! So annoying!
As a clueless man, Alex was oblivious to the apparent uneasiness between the two ladies.
+15 Bonus
Upon their arrival, the three of them entered the restaurant together. With Carlene on his left and Liana on his right, the two gorgeous ladies attracted the attention of the surrounding men. Needless to say, they were all envious of Alex.
“What a life winner. Look at the two ladies that are with him. One delightful as an angel, while the other is
so sexy.”
“If I were to be in his position, that will be great!”
“It’s nice to be rich. I can be surrounded by pretty women.”
The people in the restaurant started talking about them. Alex could not bother to rebut their assumptions. However, he also felt that it was too high profile.
Liana swiftly sat beside Alex, leaving Carlene behind. Hence, Carlene was forced to sit opposite him.
