Chapter 135

It felt nice to be in Alexander‘s embrace. Lily lifted her head to look at him, saying, “When did you get here?” Alexander planted a kiss on her forehead, “Take a guess.”

‘Now, he wants to play games!‘ Lily thought as she gave Alexander a playful glare. Afterward, she said, “You left on the same day as we did, didn‘t you? Even though we got here first, you weren’t far behind.”

Alexander smiled and gave her cheek a peck, “You‘re such a smart girl!” “That‘s because I tried calling you but couldn‘t get through. You never turn off your phone, even during a meeting. I‘m guessing that was because you were on the plane, right?” As Lily recalled the details of that day, she could piece together a chronological timeline. However, she never thought it was because Alexander was coming to see her.

“Well done. I should probably reward you for being such a clever girl, right?” Alexander smirked cheekily as this only made him love Lily more. He carried Lily to the sofa, sat down, and held her close to him. Alexander thought Lily‘s warmth in his embrace felt nice.

Lily wrapped her arms around Alexander‘s neck to ensure she would not slide off him. Then she continued talking with him, “So, you were the one who arranged the first–class flight and the Rolls–

Royce?”.

“Uh–huh.” Alexander nodded, not denying it. “You‘re the client Jenny referred to on that phone call, aren‘t you?” Lily accused Alexander with a slightly raised voice. “Yeap,” Alexander admitted.

“You shouldn‘t use your authority to do that!” Lily punched him lightly and continued, “It‘s already so late. How can you make Jenny leave just to see a client? What if she got into trouble!”

It was obvious that this was all Alexander‘s plan. He just so happened to be here when Jenny was coincidentally not around. However, it made Lily feel bad that their little fun could cause others inconvenience or danger.

“You‘ve gotten quite close to her, haven‘t you?” For some reason, Alexander was slightly jealous of their relationship.

“She‘s my coworker and a friend; of course, I’m close with her!” Lily replied, “I should call her and tell her to come back now.”

Alexander stopped Lily as she tried to reach for her phone. “Really? Now? I‘ll have to leave if she returns since you don‘t want others to know about our relationship.”

Lily looked at Alexander with reluctance. They had just met, and the thought of sending Alexander away was unbearable. However, Lily was worried because it was very late, and Jenny was still out there, “I know, but we can’t have her out there for too long,” Lily retracted her hands and continued, “We still have time since sightseeing is the only plan Jenny and I have tomorrow. You and I can spend more time together after that.”

“So, you’re saying Jenny is more important than me?” Alexander was whining because he was starting to envy Jenny. Lily glimpsed at Alexander, saying, “Are you jealous?” “Isn‘t it obvious?” Alexander refuted, not feeling a tinge of embarrassment for his childish actions. Instead, he even looked a bit proud of himself. “Jenny is a girl, and why would you even be jealous of a friend?” Lily was puzzled.
