Zendaya and Cheryl Coney found it equally odd. Why did Alex Rockefeller ask Heath
Accardo about his father twice?
Did something happen between Alex and Frank Accardo?
However, Alex shook his head. âI donât know your father, but your father owes me an
explanation. I heard that your father has gone in search of expert fighters. Is he back
yet?â
Heath was truly shocked to hear this.
If Alex even knew about such secretive information, there definitely was more than
meets the eyes. Alex could not be the loser Chloe Marionette described him to be. From
the way Alex easily broke Mr. Kitagawaâs bones, Heath knew that Alex was a hidden
boss like figure, Alex was definitely not someone he could afford to mess with.
Heath was just a guy who put up a tough act. He knew he couldnât beat Alex. If he tried
to fight, he would only be putting his life at risk.
Hence, Heath immediately bent his knees and knelt to the ground. âSir, Iâm sorry for
being ignorant. I deserve to die.â
Alex looked at Heath. âOh? Why should you die?â
Heath was stunned. He immediately started slapping himself. âSir, Zendaya is a woman
youâre interested in. I shouldnât have tried to come between the two of you. I deserve to
die.â
Alex didnât speak.
Heath continued to slap himself!
âI shouldnât have asked Leo Adams and my subordinates to disturb your meal, sir. I
deserve to die. I even asked Mr. Kitagawa to fight you. I deserve to die,â Heath added.
Heath was a smart man. He knew very well that he should act like a coward if he
couldnât beat his opponent. Otherwise, it wouldâve been impossible to survive for long in
places like the underworld.
Alex shook his head. He felt speechless when he saw Heathâs face getting swollen from
slapping himself. âYou sure know when to give up. Your father is considered quite an
influential person in Californiaâs underworld. I didnât think youâd be such a coward.
Alright, thatâs enough. Apologize to Zendaya and get lost!â
Heath felt as if he had been given a second chance at life. He immediately banged his
forehead against the ground in front of Zendaya several times before crawling out of the
room.
Zendaya was shocked. âIs he really the young president of Valtameri Co.?â
Cheryl Coney couldnât stand watching it. âHeâs a bully to the weak, but a coward to the
strong. Heâs too⦠Spineless!â
âAlex, did anything happen between you and Frank Accardo?â Cheryl asked after that.
Alex shook his head. âIâm not sure yet. But letâs not talk about messed up things like
this. Weâre done eating anyway. Letâs go,â he said.
Cheryl returned to the hospital.
Miranda Finn was looking at Alex in an odd way, but she had other things to attend to in
the afternoon. Hence, she also quickly left. However, before she left, she made an
appointment the next morning with Alex to cure her secret illness.
Zendaya got into Alexâs Aston Martin once again. âMr. Rockefeller, I still havenât properly
thanked you for saving my life during the concert the other day. I owe you a huge favor.
What would you like?â
Alex waved his hand. âThatâs not necessary. It was originally a deal between Anna
Coleman and me anyway, so donât worry about it.â
âThat wonât do. Those are two completely different things. The fact that you saved my
life is something between you and me,â Zendaya insisted.
Alex felt troubled.
âWhat should we do? Why donât you offer me your body then?â Alex said.
âYouâ¦â
Zendaya immediately blushed in embarrassment.
Alex had always made her feel that he wasnât tempted by beauty. Even when he saw
how beautiful she was, he didnât seem affected at all. To be honest, Zendaya still felt a
little frustrated on the inside. Was she so unattractive that he didnât even feel anything?
But when she heard him suggesting that she should offer him her body, her impression
of him changed. Women really were contradictory beings.
âI was just joking. Did you take me seriously? Iâm married! Even if you agreed, I wouldnât
dare accept it!â Alex laughed loudly.
âHowever, you do sing very well. If you really want to thank me, why donât you sing me a
song?â Alex added.
âJust a song?â Zendayaâs eyes glistened.
âThis was way too easy!â
âYes. Sing with your heart,â Alex said.
âAlright. I promise,â Zendaya said.
Zendaya turned to look at him. Her heart was beating slightly faster. This was the first
time she sang for a man privately. It felt very different. Zendaya took a moment to
prepare herself. âWell then, Iâll sing a song that hasnât been released yet. There isnât a
name for it yet so letâs just call it âNamelessâ!â
