Burn in the Alpha Princess’s Wrath

Chapter 129 Birthday Mix–up

Kirby’s POV

When I heard the news, I didn’t smile. I didn’t frown either.

I simply said, “Got it,” with a blank expression.

So she really doesn’t want to be associated with me in any way at all.

Leslie’s POV

Finished

Eric’s birthday was only a few days away. Astrid showed up early at my place, insisting we brainstorm what gift to get him.

Every year, she and Amala went out of their way to come up with something original— something memorable and one–of–a–kind.

I didn’t worry too much. Eric was easy to please. Whatever I gave him, he’d like.

Still, Astrid dragged me to the mall, stressing out over finding the perfect gift. We didn’t end up getting anything for Eric, but she did walk away with several shopping bags of stuff for herself.

She had them sent straight to her place. Then we kept shopping.

We wandered into a boutique that carried a line of limited edition men’s watches. One caught my eye–sleek, extravagant, loud in all the right ways. It suited Eric’s style perfectly.

“I’ll take this one-”

A hand suddenly reached over, trying to snatch it from mine.

I moved fast, pulling the watch out of reach before they could grab it.

When I looked up to see who it was, I wasn’t surprised. It just figured.

“Slyvana,” I said flatly. “And… Leiss?”

Talk about awkward. The four of us stood there, face to face.

Leiss was the first to speak. “Leslie… what a surprise running into

you

here.”

Astrid snorted. “You blind or just stupid?”

Leiss had definitely calmed down since the last time he tried to apologize to me.

Can’t blame him. I still had a few unreleased nude shots of his tucked away, not to mention what happened to those other dumb rich boys who crossed me. He wasn’t about to risk it.

Slyvana crossed her arms and sneered. Clearly not happy to see me.

“What are you doing here?”

Astrid shot back without hesitation. “You own the place now?”

I ignored them both and turned to the clerk. “Wrap this one up,” I said, pointing to the most. expensive limited edition watch.

Didn’t even bother asking the price.

“Wait a minute! We saw that one first!”

Slyvana cut in, trying to claim it before the deal was sealed.

Leiss tried to stop her but it was too late.

“Miss,” the clerk said politely, “whoever pays first gets the item. That’s how it works.”

I smirked, giving her a look that said she’d already lost. My presence alone was enough to shut her down.

Slyvana ground her teeth, clearly seething. Then something dawned on her. Her eyes lit up as she blurted, “Leslie, don’t tell me… you’re buying that for Kirby’s birthday?”

The air shifted.

Leiss looked up, stunned. Realization flashed across his face,

Of course. Why else would Leslie be shopping for a men’s watch around this time of year?

I froze for a second.

Slyvana’s words triggered a memory. That’s right–Eric and Kirby’s birthdays were only a day

apart.

And I’d only remembered Eric’s?

How delightful. I couldn’t stop the satisfied smile tugging at my lips.

Slyvana took that smile as confirmation and jumped at the chance to mock me.

“Don’t bother,” she sneered. “Kirby’s not inviting you. You won’t even get the chance to give it to him. Just hand it over-”

Leiss quickly pulled her back. “Stop talking.”

I turned to her with a cold look, then smiled just a little.

“Oh, you want this?” I said softly. “Well, now I definitely can’t let you have it. Guess I just really don’t like you.”

With a scoff, I handed over my card and completed the purchase.

Astrid stood nearby with her arms folded, watching Slyvana fume. The girl was practically vibrating with indignation.

“Miss, don’t flatter yourself,” Astrid said dryly. “Leslie’s not blind. As if she’d ever go out of her way to give Kirby anything.”

The two of us walked off in style while Slyvana stayed behind, hopping mad.
