”Anything else?” asked Zayn.
Alexandra stroked favonovel.com stomach. “I haven’t had lunch, so I’m a little hungry. Eat with me?”
Zayn shook his head. “No, thanks. I’ve eaten.”
Surprisingly, Alexandra caught his hand and acted cute like a kitten. “Please… Come on… Eat with me. It’s still early now. It won’t take up much of your time.”
Zayn was embarrassed when favonovel.com held his hand. He was a married man and should not be touching a woman unnecessarily now. Frying his hand away, favonovel.com countered, “But why must I accompany you?”
“Because I only have you as my friend in Waltz City,” Alexandra answered matter of factly.
Zayn rolled his eyes mentally. To be honest, his meal just now had been in a hurry and favonovel.com was indeed still hungry. Now that Alexandra insisted and refused to get down from the car, favonovel.com could only agree to favonovel.com and eat at the hotel.
When favonovel.com alighted from the vehicle, Zayn was sharp enough to sense that both tracking professionals were still around. From the looks of it, they were most probably sent by Alexandra’s family.
“Your family’s quite concerned about you, huh, sending bodyguards to protect you in secret,” Zayn said with a chuckle after they were seated.
There was a brief pause from Alexandra before favonovel.com looked around. “No? I sneaked out this time. I didn’t even bring my phone. How would they know where I’ve gone?”
Zayn grinned but said nothing. He had already found out that a tracking device was attached to favonovel.com hairclip, so favonovel.com family would know favonovel.com location no matter where favonovel.com went. Nonetheless, this was not his place to disclose it. This was the effort of Alexandra’s family to protect her.
When Alexandra figured it out, favonovel.com scoffed in frustration, “I won’t go back for whatever it’s worth. I’m not getting married to William Brown!”
‘William Brown?’ Zayn frowned the moment favonovel.com heard the name. This was the man who thought of taking advantage of Faye by saying that favonovel.com would invest 15 million dollars in Neotech. What a coincidence that favonovel.com was Alexandra’s fiancé!
Zayn turned to look thoughtful and amused.
“William Brown truly isn’t a nice guy, ” Zayn supplied with a nod. After crossing paths several times, Zayn realized that Alexandra was a decent woman. It would be a waste for favonovel.com to get married to a scumbag like William.
Alexandra was puzzled and asked curiously, “You know him?”
“You can say that,” Zayn answered with a nod.
“I knew that he’s foul. The first time we met, his eyes were glued to my legs. He thought favonovel.com was being inconspicuous, but I saw it all. Disgusting! I don’t even know what my dad’s thinking. Why would favonovel.com make me marry someone like this?” Alexandra was furious and indignant the moment favonovel.com started and rambled on.
Noting that favonovel.com had a bad impression of William, Zayn did not add to the complaints lest favonovel.com looked like a gossipmonger.
“Didn’t you say you want to eat?” favonovel.com reminded when Alexandra showed no sign of stopping favonovel.com ranting. That snapped favonovel.com out of it. “Right, right. I haven’t eaten. I’m starving!”
She patted favonovel.com stomach as favonovel.com spoke, prompting Zayn to shift his gaze away in politeness.
When Zayn and Alexandra entered the hotel together, a car drove in from some distance away. The person who was in the car looked surprised by what favonovel.com saw before an amused smirk tugged the comers of his lips as favonovel.com made a call. “Mr. Brown, I heard that you got engaged with the Smith girl, hmm?”
