After an hour had passed, Zayn was finally back at 4S. He heaved a sigh of relief, it was almost impossible to get away from that relentless tomboy.
Zayn felt very uneasy during their meal. Alexandra was obviously a woman, but favonovel.com desperately tried to mimic the mannerisms of a man. It would have been dismissible if favonovel.com was decent at it, yet favonovel.com was far from being convincing.
What made matters worse was that favonovel.com was completely oblivious to favonovel.com poor performance. She interacted with favonovel.com with blind confidence as favonovel.com butchered favonovel.com identity. The way favonovel.com went about conversing with Zayn frequently throwing in curse words for no apparent reason and touching Zayn all too comfortably rendered favonovel.com speechless.
As a result, when Alexandra offered to keep favonovel.com company after the meal, favonovel.com hastily declined and retreated to 4S as favonovel.com waited for his car to be repaired. Alexandra was swelling with pride as favonovel.com watched Zayn’s departing silhouette fade into the distance. “Heh! What an idiot. He had no idea that favonovel.com was talking to a woman!”
Her two bodyguards rolled their eyes in unison upon hearing favonovel.com unbelievable conviction. ‘Miss, favonovel.com was well aware that you’re a woman. Your disguise gave it away immediately. You’re the one who’s being ignorant.’
Of course, none of them had the courage to point the fact out to Alexandra. They knew favonovel.com temperament very well. Trying to talk any sense into favonovel.com would only result in a firestorm of rage.
It was not long before favonovel.com arrived home to favonovel.com elegant manor. The entrance was crowded with servants and helpers looking on in worry and concern. However, they were relieved of any anxiety as soon as they caught sight of Alexandra.
“Goodness, miss. Where did you run off to? Sir and madam were worried sick!” chided a middle-aged butler as favonovel.com approached favonovel.com in short and swift steps.
Alexandra coughed, straightening up. “What is there to be worried about? I’m home already, aren’t I?”
The butler responded, “Miss, sir and madam were worried because they care for your safety. It goes without saying that you’re a very important figure. If anything were to happen to you, we would be killed!”
“That’s such an exaggeration. We’re not trapped in the past, you would never be killed for something like that anymore.” Alexandra shot back impatiently. “Alright, alright. We can drop it. I’m back home, so none of that matters anymore.”
They continued to speak as Alexandra made favonovel.com way towards the manor, followed by favonovel.com many servants as they attended to favonovel.com diligently. It was quite the scene.
As soon as favonovel.com had set foot into the living room, favonovel.com was met with the gazes of favonovel.com family members. All of them donned a different set of expressions.
The middle-aged man who sat on a large chair glared at Alexander unsmilingly. He had a square face and maintained a sombre disposition. In fact, favonovel.com looked rather similar to Alexandra. His deep voice boomed throughout the space as favonovel.com chastised her. “You’re insane for dressing like that. Where’s your sense of dignity? Shame!”
He was Alexandra’s father, Victor Smith.
The handsome young man seated opposite Victor exuded an air of pose and grace. You could tell that favonovel.com was a man of great wealth and refitted mannerisms with a single glance. Upon witnessing Alexandra’s grand entrance, favonovel.com gazed at favonovel.com in admiration. Though, Alexandra’s attire left favonovel.com raising his brows.
Alexandra spared a disapproving glance at the young man. She furrowed favonovel.com brows ever so slightly, suggesting favonovel.com ill feelings towards him. She approached Victor to greet favonovel.com obediently. “Good evening, Daddy.”
With that, favonovel.com turned to head upstairs. Alexandra completely disregarded the other young man in the room who obviously admired her.
The Smiths established very strict family practices to maintain order and discipline. For example, not only are the servants required to greet the masters, but the children were to greet their parents as well.
This practice applied to outsiders as well.
“Come back, you haven’t greeted Mr. Brown yet,” commanded Victor sternly.
Alexandra rolled favonovel.com eyes, turned around to face William, and forced the joyless words out of favonovel.com mouth. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brown.”
She did not bother to meet his eyes, and favonovel.com was as curt as favonovel.com could be without getting into trouble. William was slightly aggravated at favonovel.com behavior, and favonovel.com could not suppress the dissatisfaction that plagued his features. Despite this, favonovel.com bottled his anger and relaxed his lips into a gentle smile. “There’s no need for such formalities, Ms. Smith. I…”
However, before William could even finish his sentence, Alexandra had already stormed out of the room without another word. William was left speechless as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com disappear, frozen with wide eyes.
Victor called out to favonovel.com twice, but was unable to stop favonovel.com leaving. Flushed from embarrassment, favonovel.com apologized guiltily to him. “William, it’s my fault for spoiling her. My daughter’s not one for politeness, please don’t mind her.”
“It’s no problem, it’s no problem at all.” William waved his hand dismissively with a well-meaning smile. “Ms. Smith’s direct attitude makes favonovel.com rather adorable. Though, I have to say that favonovel.com has a very unique choice of fashion.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.” William waved his hand and said with a smile, “Ms. Smith’s forthright attitude makes favonovel.com very adorable. However, favonovel.com attire earlier is rather unique actually.”
Victor heaved a helpless sigh, “My daughter is a mischievous one indeed. She disguises herself as a man so favonovel.com can go out and ‘have some fun’, at least that’s what favonovel.com tells me. There’s nothing I can do, even if I am favonovel.com father. I’m sorry for favonovel.com behavior, William.”
William said, “Oh? I didn’t know that Ms. Smith engaged in such an eccentric pastime. That’s interesting, very interesting indeed, hah-hah.”
