Chapter 131

Just as I started to hyperventilate, the door burst open, and Breanna led Alexander and Gai into the room.

I cried out in relief when I saw them.

“I went right to your new workplace to get help after I left,” Breanna explained.

Alexander studied my pale face and anxious expression. “I can’t believe that asshole locked you in here,” he said.

Then, he wrapped his warm arm around my shoulders and brought me close to his side.

“You’re shivering,” he muttered and soothingly rubbed my shoulder.

My lower lip trembled as I looked up at him. “Why can’t something good happen to me?”

“Something will,” he assured me as he led me out of the private room.

That was the final straw that shattered my grip on my emotions. My eyes burned with hot tears, and they flowed down my cheeks. I tried to wipe them away so he wouldn’t see, but more just kept coming. Soon, I was silently sobbing into Alexander’s side.

Like a gentleman, he covered me with his suit jacket and led me quickly through the busy restaurant so that no one would see me crying. He gave Gai his keys and instructed her to drive back his car to the office.

Then, he helped me into the passenger seat of my car and then got into

the driver’s side.

As he drove down the busy road, I collapsed into his side and continued to cry. Eventually, my overwhelming emotions began to subside, and my salty tears finally stopped running down my cheeks.

Once I fully calmed down, I realized that I actually felt a little bit better. Sometimes, you just need to cry to get all of your emotions out. It was cathartic in a way

My stomach swooped with horror when I realized that my face was pressed up against Alexander’s hard chest, and my arm was wrapped tightly around his waist. I’d been using him as my own personal pillow.

I froze, and with each second that passed, my embarrassment grew. Should I move my arm immediately or pretend to be asleep?

I took a sip of my cool water glass, and my teeth were chattering so much that they knocked against the glass.

Alexander raised one of his eyebrows. “I don’t think the glass is edible here,” he joked.

His teasing made my cheeks go even more red. By now, I was pretty sure that they were an unattractive maroon color.

Soon, our meals were served. My eyes widened as I took in the large seafood boil that Alexander had ordered for us. Since I didn’t really feel like talking, I tried to focus on my food, but Alexander seemed determined to get me to speak because he kept serving me the lobster bisque from the large bowl and peeling my shrimp for me.

“Thank you,” I kept muttering out of nervousness.

This was going to be a long meal.

Since Alexander seemed determined to peel my shrimp for me, I returned the favor for him. Somehow, it turned into a game with who could peel the shrimp the fastest and then put it on the other’s plate. Soon, our dishes became piled high with seafood. I had no idea how we were even going to eat all this food.

Once, Alexander flung a shrimp so fast that it slipped off my plate and onto the floor. A giggle burst past my lips, and that made him smile.

“Your laughter is a welcome sound,” he said.
