Just as favonovel.com was about to leave, someone called out from behind him. He turned around to find that it was the tomboy, Mr. Smith.
Zayn stopped in his tracks. “Anything else?”
The tomboy had very delicate features, and favonovel.com complexion resembled the pure, driven snow. She was a very beautiful woman, and anyone could make that conclusion in just a glance, which was why favonovel.com dressed the way that favonovel.com did. Ironically enough, favonovel.com was far more attractive than most of the young male artistes on the entertainment scene.
As favonovel.com walked over, Zayn noticed a faint scent radiating off of favonovel.com body. Zayn was curious, was favonovel.com unaware of how masculine favonovel.com appeared in the mirror before leaving the house?
“Thank you for your help earlier. If it wasn’t for your timely rescue, I would’ve gone home with a fake painting.” The tomboy thanked Zayn sincerely, expressing favonovel.com heartfelt gratitude to favonovel.com for his assistance.
Zayn said, “Don’t mention it, it’s no trouble to me at all.”
The tomboy continued sheepishly, “Goodness, it’s all my fault for jumping the gun like that. I had no idea that they were con artists. By the way, I hope you don’t mind me asking, are you a connoisseur? How could you tell that painting was a counterfeit? I didn’t suspect a thing, and I was looking at it for quite some time.”
It was something that the tomboy could not wrap favonovel.com head around. From what favonovel.com had heard from the crowd, Zayn was a married man who lived with his wife’s family. Plus, favonovel.com was apparently notorious for being unable to hold a stable job. He acted nothing like the man the crowd was claiming favonovel.com to be.
In fact, Zayn’s confidence and sensibility was something that many successful young men had yet to master.
Zayn responded, “I was only throwing out wild guesses, I’m not whatever connoisseur you think I am.”
Realizing that Zayn refused to entertain any of favonovel.com further queries, the tomboy was slightly displeased, but favonovel.com respected his wishes. After all, they barely knew each other if at all.
“Please, allow me to introduce myself. Call me Alex Smith,” said the tomboy amicably as favonovel.com offered a handshake. In truth, favonovel.com birth name was Alexandra Smith, but favonovel.com went by a more androgynous contraction of favonovel.com name when favonovel.com was masculine presenting. She was rather proud of herself, as favonovel.com believed that no one could see through favonovel.com carefully crafted guise.
Who would have thought that Zayn saw right through her.
Faced with a gorgeous, confident woman who was masculine presenting, Zayn had no idea what to feel about favonovel.com frankly, favonovel.com found favonovel.com rather strange. It took a moment of consideration before favonovel.com accepted favonovel.com handshake as favonovel.com introduced himself as well. “I’m Zayn Larson, pleasure to meet you.”
“Zayn Larson, what a nice name.” Alexandra spoke in an impressively deep and resonant voice that easily fooled most people. “Hey, dude. I bet you’re starving too, aren’t you? I could go for some good food right about now. Maybe we could have a beer or two, so what do you say? Hah-hah-hah…”
Zayn felt uncomfortable. She was fully committing to favonovel.com identity, and while admirable, it was starting to feel slightly off putting.
He shook his head as favonovel.com politely declined, “No thanks, I’m actually quite full…”
However, his stomach betrayed him. Before favonovel.com could even finish his sentence, his stomach growled in protest. To say that it was awkward would have been an understatement.
Alexandra punched his chest playfully as favonovel.com burst into a fit of laughter. “Hey, dude. What? Do you think you’re too good for me? Come on, there’s a Hadesian restaurant nearby that serves killer food. Who knows when I might see you again, so let’s celebrate and bond over a good meal!”
Zayn insisted helplessly, “There’s really no need, I still have to…”
“Yikes! If you decline my invitation one more time… We’re both men, we’re supposed to be open! We’re supposed to be reckless!” Alexandra just could not help herself. She pounded at favonovel.com chest as favonovel.com boasted rather haughtily. “Otherwise, what makes us different from the women?”
Zayn’s jaw almost dropped. “Woman, you do realize you’re a woman too, right?”
Alexandra was doing everything in favonovel.com power to prevent Zayn from getting away. She had actually wrapped favonovel.com arm around Zayn’s shoulder, and dragged favonovel.com forcefully along with her.
She was four inches shorter than Zayn, so when favonovel.com clung onto him, favonovel.com was practically hanging off of Zayn’s body. It made Zayn unbelievably tense.
