< Chapter 16 Chapter 16 What Alanna didn't see was that the maid, after leaving, made eye contact with Karlie in the crowd and gave her a thumbs Karlie smirked. Menu Alexander was known for being not interested in women. It is said several rich girls intentionally tried to seduce him, but Alexander mercilessly kicked them out on the spot. Not only that, but the entire family business behind him was also severely affected, with some even declaring bankruptcy. Imagine Alanna's reaction when she went in, Karlie almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Offending Alexander, you're definitely not going to have an easy time. The room was empty, so Alanna took off her dress without a care, feeling sticky. She didn't bother to wash, just wiped herself with a wet towel. Then she opened the bag the maid had given her and took out clean clothes. Unhooking the bra clasp. Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming from the direction of the bathroom. Alanna thought she was hearing things at first, until the footsteps got closer and closer to her, and she froze in place. Conditioned reflex picked up the skirt that had been taken off and held it in front of her. In a panic, I happened to meet the man's secretive eyes. Alexander just took a shower, wearing nothing but a white bath towel wrapped loosely around his waist, showing off his slim waist and long legs. His wet black hair was messy and scattered on his forehead, with water droplets rolling down his jawline and falling onto his well-defined abdominal muscles, before finally converging at one point and disappearing at the end of his mermaid line. Alanna was stunned. Her eyes couldn't help but follow the water droplets, moving downwards. "Is it good-looking?" Alexander asked, smirking. Alanna suddenly came to her senses and awkwardly turned her face, "I didn't see anything." Alexander's gaze fell heavily on Alanna's chest, he cleared his throat and his voice inexplicably carried a hint of hoarseness. "How come you're here?" Alanna explained, "My dress got stained with red wine. The maid told me this was an empty room, so I thought no one was living here and came in to change." "She was right, most of the time, I didn't live here." Alanna wasn't in the mood to chat with him. "Um, can you step aside?" Complaining in my heart, this man, he has no eye for detail at all. Alexander smiled, "Okay, I turned around and didn't look at you." That's about it. Alanna sighed. Seeing the man had turned around, she quickly put her hands behind her back. Maybe I was just too nervous. The bra clasp that is usually easy to fasten took me half a day this time, and I still couldn't fasten it. As time passed by, Alanna got more and more anxious, her palms sweating and her actions failing more and more with each try. 'Need any help?" Alexander asked out of the blue, as if he had eyes on the back of his head. Alanna felt so embarrassed that she wanted to die on the spot. How could she help in this situation? She was too embarrassed to even speak up. < Chapter 16 Black face, "No need." Finally, after a lot of effort, I managed to fasten the bra. She quickly put on her clothes again. After going through the whole process, I was sweating buckets, feeling like I had just taken a shower. "I'm fine now." Alanna wiped the sweat off her face and made sure she didn't look too disheveled before speaking. Alexander turned around slowly. Which pot doesn't open, mention which pot. "Why is your face so red?" Alanna wanted to curse someone. But she'd rather leave right away than spend time alone with Alexander here. Straightening up, "Mr. Murphy, I didn't mean to intrude into your room, please forgive me." After speaking, he bowed respectfully and quickly walked to the door. "Alanna." Alexander suddenly called out her name. Threw it down with a loud sound, not as gentle as before, with a bit more force. "So, you're just leaving like this? Did you forget something?" Menu Alanna froze with her back to the man's back, of course she didn't forget, it's just because she remembered that she felt embarrassed and just wanted to get out of there right away. She wasn't being self-deprecating. She felt like she and Alexander were totally different, like "one underground, one in the sky," with a world of difference between them. She didn't know why Alexander was acting so weird. "Turn around." Alexander ordered, sitting on the velvet armchair beside the bed with his long legs elegantly crossed, chin raised to indicate Alanna to come over. Alanna thought about it and then firmly refused, "Mr. Murphy, I've thought about it and we're just not a good match."
