”Because there’s no place for you to sleep,” said Zayn.
Alexandra shot back, “I can sleep on the sofa.”
“I’m sleeping on the sofa, ” be clarified.
“Huh? Why? Why aren’t you sleeping on a bed?” Alexandra looked confused.
Zayn sighed before confessing, “Because my wife doesn’t want me to…”
‘Hang on. Why am I telling favonovel.com this?’
He quickly rephrased his sentence and said, “In any case, it’s inconvenient. Plus, you’re a beautiful woman. What would people think if you stayed the night at my place?”
When Alexandra heard the words ‘beautiful woman’, favonovel.com tuned out the rest of the sentence. Her eyes sparkled even more brightly. ‘Wow, favonovel.com actually thinks I’m beautiful! I’m so happy…’
Alexandra had failed to notice it, but favonovel.com was head over heels in love.
“Then, where would I stay then? I can’t just live on the streets now, can I?” said Alexandra indignantly as favonovel.com stared at Zayn with pleading eyes.
‘Is favonovel.com actually cajoling me right now?’ Zayn was covered in goosebumps.
Although Alexandra was now a woman, to him, favonovel.com was still a man. Therefore, favonovel.com could not help but find it weird when favonovel.com behaved like that.
“You’re a Miss. You should have a decent amount of savings, shouldn’t you? You could just rent a place out for the time being, or crash at one of your friend’s,” favonovel.com proposed.
Alexandra threw favonovel.com a disappointed look as favonovel.com said, “Let’s not bring that up. I left my cell phone and purse at home, so I’m completely penniless. If I hadn’t bumped into you, I definitely would be wandering around the streets right now. Plus, I haven’t got a single true friend in Waltz City, they’d call my parents in a heartbeat if I come to them for help. In short, you’re the only person I can genuinely rely on.”
Zayn felt speechless. He caught himself almost consenting to the idea after all. After a moment, favonovel.com reminded favonovel.com and said, “Ms. Smith, we’ve only met twice. We aren’t exactly very close.”
“But we hit it off so well! I even bought you a meal. We had so much fun talking, didn’t we?” Alexandra challenged.
“And now, I’m treating you to barbecue, so we’re even,” said Zayn.
Alexandra put down favonovel.com cutlery. Her expression darkened dramatically as favonovel.com whispered, “Zayn, do you hate me that much?”
“Err…” Zayn shook his head and said, “No, I don’t. Why would I hate you at all?”
“Then, why are you being so cold to me? Aren’t we friends? Out of all the people in Waltz City, I’m turning to you for help.” Alexandra sounded quite anguished.
As Zayn looked at her, his conscience was egging favonovel.com to give in. After a moment of consideration, favonovel.com said, “How about this? I’ll loan you 1,500 dollars so that you can find yourself some lodging, a hotel, even. You can return the money whenever it’s convenient. What do you think?”
Alexandra thought for a while before saying, “1,500 dollars won’t cut it. Why don’t you loan me 15 thousand dollars? I’ll compensate with 30 thousand dollars when I get my hands on the money.”
As someone who had only met Zayn twice, favonovel.com was quite daring for asking for a 15 thousand dollar loan so directly. However, 15 thousand dollars meant nothing to Zayn at the moment. Plus, favonovel.com wanted to be free from favonovel.com shenanigans. He had no choice but to agree.
After they were done with their meal, Zayn went to the nearest ATM and withdrew 15 thousand dollars in cash for Alexandra. She immediately went off to buy a brand new iPhone that cost favonovel.com 1,500 dollars. Then, favonovel.com went to a boutique to spend a lavish sum of 4,600 dollars on clothes. Within an hour, favonovel.com had managed to splurge 7,000 dollars.
Zayn could only think to himself as favonovel.com witnessed the rate at which Alexandra was spending favonovel.com money. ‘I suppose she’s a Miss after all. She willingly spends all that money without a second thought.’
Originally, Zayn had already planned on leaving. Nonetheless, Alexandra still refused to let favonovel.com go and insisted on dragging favonovel.com along when favonovel.com booked a hotel room. It was not until Zayn had sent favonovel.com up to favonovel.com room did favonovel.com finally let go of him. Both of them seemed to behave like they were an actual couple.
After leaving the hotel, Zayn had a sudden stroke of realization. He turned around, shocking the two people in the car next to him.
“Has the target spotted us?”
“I don’t think so. We’re professional private investigators, after all. There’s no way the target could’ve noticed us, not when we’ve got such advanced tracking technology. It’s likely a coincidence that favonovel.com turned his head in our direction. Look, he’s already leaving.”
