Alex was stunned.
From the way Zendaya and himself had met eyes earlier, it was clear that she had been
waiting for him. She couldnât help frowning subtly at the appearance of the young man,
but she still put on a smile and said, âDonât misunderstand, Alan. This is my friend.â
The young man named Alan pursed his lips with a disdainful glint in his eyes. He said,
âZendaya, today is an important time for us to duet our performance. Some unimportant
individuals shouldnât just come over and bother you, right?
Get him to leave first!â
Alan was almost 5.74 feet tall, and his appearance was quite charming and handsome.
Alex could tell that Alan had an unusual sort of feelings toward Zendaya, given how
different his gaze was when he looked at her. There was nothing wrong with handsome
men who loved beautiful women.
The main point here was that Alex was over 5.9 feet tall, his facial features and skin
quality were far superior than his. Especially, Alex had a peculiar temperament on his
body.
Even Alan was ashamed and felt inferior when he saw this.
Therefore, a sense of hostility surged inside Alanâs heart.
âAlan, Alex Rockefeller is a very important friend of mine. Itâs even more important than
this concert,â Zendaya said.
The moment Alan heard that, his expression became even more unhappy. âHeâs not
your boyfriend, right?â
Zendaya blushed slightly. âOf course not. Mr. Alex is already married.â
Poof!
When Alan heard that Alex was married, the hostility that just emerged earlier
dissipated a lot. He said, âIn that case, then let him in!â
Then, he turned around and said to Alex, âYouâre very lucky to be able to hear the duet
between me and Zendaya.â
Alex had not spoken a word from start to end. The expression on his face was also
indifferent and calm.
Zendaya finally introduced Alan at this moment. âLet me introduce you, Alex. This is a
piano master from Hong Kong, you may call him Alan! Alan is very knowledgeable in
the piano. Last time, my concert had a problem because my companion abandoned it
halfway. To make up for it this time, I specifically invited Alan to come over and help
out.â
Alex nodded, replying lightly toward Alan, âNice to meet you.â
Alan harrumphed arrogantly with a hum.
At this moment, Zendayaâs manager, Bunty, walked out of the villa. When she saw Alan,
her big body immediately moved forward to give Alan a warm hug.
âOh, Alan, itâs been so long! Iâm so glad to see you.â
Alex saw Alan almost wobbled unsteadily, getting pushed to the ground by Bunty.
During that moment, Zendaya sent him an apologetic look.
Once they entered the villa, Bunty went to prepare tea. âIs there something urgent, for
you to look for me in such a hurry? What is this? It canât be that youâre returning the gift,
right?â
Zendaya asked Alex.
Alan looked at the bag that Alex was holding with a bored look on his face. âWhat are
these? Lush Cosmetics? What a tacky name. They canât be cosmetics, right?â
Alex nodded. âThey can be considered to be cosmetics!â
Alan shook his head contemptuously. âThen youâve got it wrong. Zendaya never uses
any random cosmetics. Her cosmetics are all from Hong Kongâs Arles Cosmetics.â
There was a slightly surprised look on Zendayaâs face. Never did she expect that Alex
would bring her a set of cosmetics as gifts.
However, Alex shook his head. âThey are not actually gifts. I just came to let Miss
Zendaya have a try. These are new products that our company has just launched in the
market. There are only two types currently, one is an anti-freckle cream, and the other is
an anti-aging cream. I just want to ask if Miss Zendaya would be willing to endorse our
companyâs products.â
Before Zendaya could respond, Bunty, who had come over with tea, shook her head
immediately. âNo, no, no. Our Zendaya wonât accept endorsements of products like this,
unless they are for well-known international brands. Otherwise, it would just bring down
her reputation. Once your products have quality problems, the consequences would just
get worse.â
There was one more bigger issue that Bunty didnât say.
Zendayaâs endorsement fee was extremely high, but Alex had saved her life. When the
time came, she might not accept any money from him.
Why would they pick up this kind of endorsement in the first place?
Alex didnât have a chance to follow up with what she had just said.
âBunty, Mr. Alex is an expert in medicine and a skilled doctor in traditional medicine. The
products that his company launched shouldnât have such quality problems,â Zendaya
said.
Bunty replied, âWho could guarantee this kind of thing? Anyway, I donât agree.â
