Alexis had, indeed, indulged quite a bit.
While not yet reaching the point of complete inebriation, she was more talkative than her usual self.
She nonchalantly waved her hand.
âThatâs none of your concern!â
Leonelâs expression hardened.

âThen whose concern is it? That boy from last night? Why isnât he here looking after you?â
Alexisâ eyes narrowed slightly.
She emitted a soft, knowing chuckle.
âWhy should he look after me?
Itâs usually me who takes care of him!â
She straightened up, dismissively swaying her hand in Leonelâs direction.
âYou wouldnât get it! You canât possibly comprehend what I share with Calvin! Someone as indifferent as you, how could you ever grasp it?â
Leonelâs complexion turned pallid.
He genuinely wished for a civilized conversation with Alexis, an effort to maintain peaceful relations since they were still family, even though they were no longer a couple.
But it was abundantly clear that Alexis held no fondness for him.
She had no intention of letting him meddle in her affairs.
Just as Leonel was about to depart, someone approached, engaging Alexis in lively conversation.
âMiss Fowler, weâve finally found you!
Come, letâs enjoy a few more drinks.
Those two gentlemen inside mentioned that if they have a good time drinking, theyâll directly award a two-hundred-billion deal to Exceed Group without considering any other firms.
â
Alexis, who had previously resembled a drunken cat, suddenly spoke with clarity and briskness.
âIs that so, Mr.
Watson?â
She added, âIn that case, I must head over and outdrink them!â
With those words, Alexis made her exit.
Leonel remained rooted to the spot, his heart once again heavy.
