Chapter 137

Just as things were about to get into a heated mess, Lily‘s phone rang. She fumbled for it and answered the call, “Hello?”

“Lily, I‘m almost back. I‘m getting something to eat. Do you want anything?” Jenny‘s voice rang from the other end.

In a flash, Lily was awake. She pushed against Alexander and jolted up, “N–No, thank you. I‘m not hungry.” “Okay, were you already asleep? I‘ll be back soon,” Jenny promised. “Right, yeah!” Lily hung up and dragged Alexander. “Hurry, Jenny is about to come back! You must leave now, and don‘t let her see you!” Lily warned as she struggled to tidy her clothes and handed Alexander his coat. This was when she noticed he was just sofa with a dark expression on his face.

“Okay, I know it‘s my fault, and I‘m sorry, but it can‘t be helped. You know we can‘t expose our relationship for now, and Jenny knows you!” She continued to coax him into giving in. Alexander huffed in annoyance, “You‘re making it sound like I‘m a nobody.”

He was even throwing tantrums at that point.

“Right, everyone knows you because you‘re the famous Mr. Russell. However, could you please leave for now?” While she would love to hurry him along, she needed to ensure he was not upset about it.

Jenny was probably in the lobby by now. Why did she have to say that she was not hungry? Jenny might be there any minute. If only Lily had told Jenny that she wanted something to eat, that might have bought her a few more minutes. Lily wanted to urge Alexander to leave quickly, but she did not want to make him angry.

Alexander was already glaring at her as he stood up and placed his coat on his arm. Lily could not wait any longer.

She pushed him toward the door, “Make sure to avoid her, and I‘ll call you soon! Wait, you‘re probably staying in this hotel, right? Give me your room number, and I‘ll come to you!”

Knowing Alexander‘s character, he would probably stay at the same hotel since he had traveled far to see her. This was the best way to meet and would save them the unnecessary hassle, Alexander’s face brightened a little after hearing her words, “You better make sure you do!” “Yes, yes, I promise!” Lily said. “Remember to come over!” Alexander insisted.

“Yes, I‘ll remember, I promise,” Lily continued.

You need to compensate me for my loss,” He lowered his head and pointed at his cheek.

How was he such a spoiled brat at times? Lily could only give in and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. Alexander, ever the mischievous brat, turned his face as her lips touched his cheek.

He kissed her lips and ruffled her hair. “I’m leaving!”

“Okay,” Her fingers went to trace her lips as her heart fluttered.

She stood at the entrance of the elevator to send him off. She waved and waited until he entered the elevator. While the doors were closing, the other elevator on the right arrived at her floor, and Jenny stepped out. “Hi, were you waiting for me?” Jenny opened her arms to hug her when she saw Lily standing in front of the elevators.
