Chapter 712

Elizabeth went to the restroom to touch up her makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed deeply. Thinking about Alexander mentioning investing in Magnolia, she found it amusing. The reason he didn’t invest in Kennedy was that Kennedy already had many investors, so he didn’t need another one—a typical self-congratulatory way of avoiding investment. Just because she had everything, he wouldn’t give her anything? How did he know what she wanted most wasn’t from him?

Elizabeth lowered her eyes, and just as she was lost in thought, someone appeared at the door. She saw the person in the mirror and clicked her tongue. “Mr. Tudor, this is the ladies’ room.”

“So what?” He crossed his arms and leaned casually against the wall. He knew there was only Elizabeth in the ladies’ room. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown up here.

Elizabeth didn’t say anything and instead applied some lipstick. Alexander watched her small movements, looking at her slightly parted red lips, and licked his own.

“Elizabeth,” he called her.

Elizabeth looked up and saw him in the mirror. “You jealous?” His tone was low, with a hint of seriousness.

Elizabeth was stunned for two seconds, then laughed. “Mr. Tudor, have you been drinking?” How much had he drunk? How had he not passed out yet and started having delusions? What was he saying? He actually asked if she was jealous? Where did Alexander get the idea that she was jealous? She didn’t know if she was crazy or if he was.

“Mr. Tudor, if you’re drunk, call Nolan to take you home,” Elizabeth kindly reminded him.

“Do I look drunk? I’m very sober, and I can even judge your mood.” His tone was indifferent, but his face was undeniably handsome—although he was very tired, it didn’t hide his sharpness.

Then tell me, what mood am I in? Elizabeth laughed.

If he judged correctly, she hoped his answer would be: It’s the mood to corse someone out.

Alexander raised an eyebrow. “You’re in the jealous mood.”

“Alexander, I think you’re crazy,” Elizabeth said angrily. Alexander wasn’t upset at all when she cursed at him; instead, he was in a great mood.

“Pursuing you requires a bit of craziness, doesn’t it?” He crossed his arms and stared intently at her, asking, “Am I right?”

Elizabeth was speechless; she felt he was utterly shameless. “I think you’re quite unreasonable.” She smiled and walked past him to leave.

Alexander reached out and grabbed her arm. “Elizabeth.”

“What now?” Elizabeth was getting more and more annoyed. Every time Alexander called her, she felt angry. But Alexander didn’t think he was annoying. He called Elizabeth a few more times, wishing he could call her every day.

Alexander felt a bit aggrieved. “I don’t mean anything else. I just want to ask you a question; don’t be so impatient.” Elizabeth felt like punching him. Who was he pretending to be aggrieved with? Was he changing tactics?

Elizabeth irritably pushed his hand away and heard him ask, “Do you like Kennedy’s comeback work?”

“Why?” Elizabeth was impatient.

“I bought it to give to you, is that okay?” Alexander’s eyes softened.

Elizabeth almost choked and got confused. “Mr. Tudor, I’m not very fond of it, don’t waste your money,” she said politely, declining.

Alexander didn’t understand. “Don’t all girls like it? Why don’t you?”

“Because I’m not an ordinary girl.” Elizabeth smiled, wanting to mock him.
