Chapter 77
Alexander saw her with lowered eyes and curled his lips in a cold sneer, "Didn't you hear me clearly? Why pretend and ask again?"
"We're still in the office," Lila reminded him.
But he shot back, "What's different about the office?"
She forced herself to answer, "The executive office is right outside. Everyone's working. There's no suitable place."
Alexander pressed on, "What do you mean by suitable place? What do you want? A sofa? Or a bed?"
Lila was truly speechless.
Could he just shut up?
Seeing her silence, Alexander continued, "Or... you don't want to have a baby right now, so you need condoms?"
Lila didn't dare speak.
Her face turned completely red as she kept her head down without saying a word.
She never imagined Alexander could discuss such private matters with her so calmly.
She was actually quite shy about these things. She couldn't look at him directly and didn't want to say another word.
Watching her frightened and worried expression, the pent-up anger in Alexander's heart finally dissipated somewhat, and his rationality gradually returned.
Alexander looked down at her and commanded, "After work, you go buy condoms."
Lila immediately looked up and blurted out, "Why me?"
"Because you're the one who needs condoms."
"But you're the one who'll use them."
Alexander scoffed, a wicked curve forming at the corner of his mouth, "I can go without. You'd better be ready to have a baby too. That would make me even happier."
After saying this, he leaned down close to her, his thin lips deliberately stopping by her ear, "Get yourself mentally prepared. Tonight, keep me company!"
The male breath wandering by her ear amplified wantonly, seeming to awaken all her senses in an instant. Lila nervously shrank her neck, keeping her head down, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Alexander watched her timid appearance like a startled bird, curled his lips in satisfaction, and left the lounge.
The moment he closed the door, his gaze fell on her wrist. Catching sight of that shocking red mark, his eyes unconsciously darkened. He couldn't even imagine how much force he had used just now.
Returning to his desk, Alexander dialed the internal line. When Charlie answered, he instructed, "Go buy ointment for removing red marks. Right now."
"Yes, Mr. Sinclair."
"Fine."
With that word, he hung up.
In the lounge, Lila looked at her wrist. It didn't hurt that much anymore.
Because what troubled her more now was tonight's matter.
What should she do?
Did this mean that tonight, when she returned to Island Mansion, she would really lose her virginity to Alexander?
Although she had said it was a good opportunity just to avoid admitting defeat, sleeping with a man she had no emotional foundation with still required overcoming a huge psychological barrier.
And besides, she didn't want to right now.
What to do, what to do?
Lila took out her phone and messaged her best friend Elara for help.
[Elara, I don't know how I offended Alexander, but he wants me to keep him company, tonight.]
Elara replied quickly: [Keep him company how? Sleep with him?]
Lila was momentarily speechless.
Why could all these people speak so directly?
She replied: [Something like that. What do you think I should do?]
Elara: [You two are married now. What else can you do? It's normal for him to want to sleep with you. Plus, last time when I looked down from upstairs, I vaguely saw that Mr. Sinclair is quite handsome. Besides having a gorgeous face, he's got broad shoulders and a narrow waist. With that kind of package, he's definitely a top-tier man. Lila, you're not losing out at all!]
