Lucy Quinton immediately extended her hand to cover Mira Sandsâ mouth. âShut up. Sheâs from
Michiganâs Stoermer family. How could she know that broke dude?â Lucy said softly in
a nervous and terrified tone. Mira and Wendy Jonas immediately widened their eyes in surprise. They
didnât dare to make another sound. Soon, the woman opened the cafeâs door and walked in. Alex
Rockefeller sat there without making a move. However, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Indeed, the person who showed up was someone from Michiganâs Stoermer family, but she wasnât
Zendaya
Stoermer, the woman whom Alex was waiting for. Instead, she was Xyla Stoermer. Xyla already saw
Alex when she was outside the door. Right then, she directly walked over and greeted Alex
respectfully. âMr. Rockefeller!â The three womenâs jaws nearly dropped as they stared on, tongue tied.
Lucy, especially, was beginning to suspect that she might be blind.
She checked repeatedly to make sure that woman was from Michiganâs Stoermer family. In fact, she
was one
of the favorites of the head of the Stoermer family. Most importantly, why did she sound so polite to that
broke dude?
âWhy are you alone? Where is she?â Alex asked softly. Xyla pulled a chair out. âMr. Rockefeller, may I
have a seat?â
âGo on. What would you like to drink?â Alex said. âAnything will do,â she replied. âWaitress, please bring
her a glass of warm water,â Alex said. Xyla was speechless.
The three women also fell speechless. Alex only ordered Xyla a glass of warm water. This was far too
casual. Indeed, it reflected how poor Alex was. However, the women were incredibly surprised. Was
this the realistic version of a relationship between the
princess and the carpenter based on the fable? Xyla, someone who could be considered as a princess
in
Michigan, had actually fallen in love with a broke dude. And she was pursuing him fiercely?
âYouâre on your period. Itâs better if you donât drink coffee,â Alex explained.
Wendy spewed out a mouthful of coffee. Lucy covered her mouth to keep herself from screaming, but
her trembling body made her horror apparent. Xyla blushed and looked at Alex shyly. âThank you,â she
said. âIâm truly sorry Zendaya⦠Couldnât make it. Our family has kept a close eye on her recently. They
wouldnât
even let her out.
It didnât work even if I showed up and spoke for her! I have no idea what my brother is
thinking. Heâs afraid that Zendaya might run away once she came out, and he wouldnât even let her use
her
phone. Heâs treating her like a criminal⦠As for your family businessâ advertisement, Iâm afraid it really
wonât work,â Xyla added.
Alexâs eyes flashed. He was a little angry. Zendayaâs disappearance as of late was deliberate! âMiss
Stoermer, could you bring me to your house?â Alex suddenly asked. âMr. Rockefeller⦠You seem to
want to see Zendaya so badly. Itâs not because of the advertisement, is it?â Xyla was quite a smart
person. She could immediately tell that Alex was insistent on seeing Zendaya. Alex nodded. âFine. Iâll
tell you the truth.
Zendaya stole something from me. I want her to pay for the
damages.â Xyla was stunned. If she found out that Zendaya had robbed Alex of his chastity, she might
even shout in surprise. Meanwhile, Lucy and the other two girls looked as shocked as if they had seen
a ghost.
