Edwin, intrigued by her actions, followed her into the quiet corridor.
âAlexis Fowler!â he called, catching up with her.
Leaning casually against the wall, Alexis stretched out her hand.
âThe check,â she demanded playfully.
Edwin feigned confusion, to which Alexis responded with a Light hum.
â20 million, Edwin.
Donât play dumb.
Would Laura really accept it if you bought it for her?â
Realizing his pretense was futile, Edwin handed her a blank check to fill out herself.
Alexis flicked it with a smirk.
Adjusting his collar, Edwin inquired, âHow did you know about Laura and me?â
With a teasing gesture, Alexis rubbed the check against his face.
âI have a client who lives across from Laura.
One day, I saw you two in a passionate smooch right outside her door.
Youâre quite the ki*ser, Mr.
Evans.
â
Edwinâs cheeks flushed, his fair skin accentuating his embarrassment.

Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a ki*s on his forehead.
âKeep at it, Edwin! You wonât earn my respect if you donât win Laura over.
â
She winked.
âDonât worry, Granduncle Mark will handle Aunt Cecilia.
â
Edwinâs smile was tinged with bitterness.
Alexis gave him a soft nudge.
âJust kidding.
Lauraâs had it tough.
If you canât make her truly happy, leave her be.
Donât stir up drama like today.
Dylan was just playing you.
â
Edwin knew deep down, but his judgment had been clouded by the heat of the moment.
Alexis blew him a playful ki*s.
âIâm off now!â
