Chapter 439

Alexander was eyeballing her like she was about to spill the juiciest gossip ever. What was she gonna say? Elizabeth could tell she had Alexander hooked. Tonight was the perfect time to lay it all out, because after tonight, they’d be on totally different tracks.

Elizabeth bit her lip, took a tiny step closer, locked eyes with Alexander, and started, “That year you were… achoo!”

Right when she was about to drop the bomb, she sneezed out of nowhere. Elizabeth sniffled and rubbed her arm. It wasn’t even cold.

“Cold?” Alexander asked, already shrugging off his jacket.

Elizabeth glanced up, shook her head fast, and waved him off. She wasn’t cold. Elizabeth was about to pick up where she left off. Then they heard a snarky voice from the side, “She said no, so no jacket. Dude, being too direct isn’t always good.”

The words were dripping with sarcasm. Elizabeth and Alexander turned to look. There was another guy on a nearby bench, someone they knew. Who else but Kyle?

“Kyle, what are you doing here?” Elizabeth asked, totally surprised.

“I followed you. It’s late; can’t let you walk home alone,” Kyle said, crossing his arms.

Alexander’s brow furrowed, thinking, Are they that close? Have they been hanging out?

“What does it matter? I used to go home alone late at night all the time,” Elizabeth said, checking the time on her phone.

Alexander looked at her, thinking, What’s she getting at? Complaining to another guy in front of me? Have I let her go home alone before?

“Yeah, in a crappy marriage, you definitely go home alone.” Kyle walked over, standing in front of them, chuckling.

Alexander squinted, more sure than ever that Kyle was gunning for him.

“When did it become your business to comment on our marriage?” Alexander adjusted his clothes, his face cold as ice.

Kyle smirked. “Aren’t there already plenty of people talking about your marriage?”

“Plenty. But doing it to my face is your mistake,” Alexander locked eyes with Kyle, his gaze fierce.

Kyle was about to retort. Alexander cut him off, “Oh, by the way, got some bad news for you.”

Kyle frowned, and Alexander said calmly, “Your shipment got sent back, and mine’s already here.”

Kyle’s calm facade cracked. Elizabeth realized from their conversation that these two had some serious history.

“You’re such a jerk,” Kyle spat through gritted teeth.

Alexander shrugged. “Could be worse.”

In the business world, you gotta be a bit of a jerk to survive. He slowly walked over to Kyle, flicking imaginary dust off his shoulder. The contempt in his eyes was brutal. Alexander spoke coolly, “If you wanna make it in Lisbun, you gotta play by my rules.”

Alexander thought, Trying to mess with me? Not a chance. If Kyle wants to keep coming at me, bring it on. Let’s see who comes out on top!

“Mr. Tudor, you really put your career above everything else. Is there really nothing or no one in this world you care about?” Kyle pushed Alexander’s hand away, his tone challenging.
