Chapter 163
Neil forced a smile. Of course, Alexander could make Elizabeth famous. โIsnโt Alexanderโs wife Esme from the Russell family?โ Neil asked cautiously.
Elizabethโs heart skipped a beat, and her smile vanished. She raised an eyebrow, downed her drink, and said coolly, โMr. Green, maybe you should watch this news more and gossip less.โ
Neil gave her a meaningful look before awkwardly walking away. When Charles looked over again, Elizabeth was drinking alone.
โWhat are you doing? Trying to get drunk?โ Charles took the glass she was about to down.
Elizabeth sighed and snatched it back. โMind your own business.โ
โYouโre in a bad mood again!โ Charles complained.
Elizabeth frowned, irritated. โWhatโs wrong? Canโt I be in a bad mood? Iโm human too, you know!โ
Charles was taken aback. What did Neil say to upset her like this?
โIโm not feeling well, so Iโm leaving,โ Elizabeth grabbed her bag and bolted out. Charles was about to follow when she reminded him without looking back, โDonโt follow me, Iโm not a child.โ
Charles had no choice but to stop. Elizabeth pushed open the door, feeling disgusted by Neilโs words. She took a few steps and suddenly heard laughter from another room. โOf course, everyone wants to work with Mr. Tudor.โ
โIf I could work with the Tudor Group, Iโd have no regrets in life!โ
Hearing Alexanderโs name, Elizabeth rolled her eyes. As she headed to the restroom, she muttered, โWhatโs so great about the Tudor Group?โ
She washed her hands at the sink repeatedly, trying to scrub off every place Neil had touched. โScoundrel! Over fifty and still inappropriate, like young girls,โ she gritted her teeth, scrubbing her hands furiously and cursing. โTaking advantage of me, Iโll teach you a lesson!โ
Just as Elizabeth, fueled by alcohol, continued her tirade, a manโs voice came from behind. โThatโs strange. I didnโt offend you, yet Iโm getting cursed out.โ
Elizabeth froze. When she looked up, she saw Alexander leaning against the wall, watching her. His hands were in his pockets, and he looked at her expressionlessly. โWhat a coincidence, Ms. Percy. We meet again.โ
As he spoke, he walked over to wash his hands alongside her. Elizabeth was a bit confused.
After washing, he pulled out a paper towel to dry his hands. Then he looked at her and coldly reminded her, โThis is the menโs restroom. Ms. Percy, did you know I was late and you deliberately cursed me out?โ
He raised an eyebrow and leaned slightly towards her, continuing, โWho was it that said yesterday we should completely disappear from each otherโs world?โ
It was hard for him not to overthink seeing Elizabeth in the menโs restroom. Elizabeth choked, completely unprepared for Alexander to be there.
