Chapter 119

Frederick stood his ground, not giving Alexandra the slightest chance to push him away.

"So what? I wish I could tell the whole world you're my fiancée. What's the big deal if a few people see us together?"

Frederick was eager for people to talk about them.

It was like back in school when a boy would spread rumors about being with a girl.

It sounded like gossip, something that got twisted as it spread.

In the end, the boy would confess to the girl, saying, "I started the rumor because I like you."

Frederick probably had the same mindset now.

Alexandra was exasperated. She had come downstairs to find him precisely because she didn't want to draw too much attention.

She didn't let him come upstairs because she was worried about what people at the company might say.

But his actions were so blatant, parading around as if he wanted everyone to see them!

"You're unbelievable." Though she was speechless, she didn't dislike his approach. She was just at a loss for words, not annoyed or angry.

"What's wrong? Don't you miss me?" Frederick said, touching her cheek with one hand. "You have no idea how much I've missed you!"

"I know." His feelings were so obvious that even a fool could see it.

"And you? Do you miss me?" Frederick's eyes held a hint of anticipation as he stared at Alexandra, waiting for her answer.

"It's only been a short time." Alexandra honestly didn't know if she missed him. She had been so busy since returning that she hadn't had time to think about anything else.

Besides, it had only been a few hours. If they missed each other that much in just a few hours, they might as well spend every moment glued to each other.

"Three hours. You call that short?" Frederick looked a bit disappointed. "What if it were longer? Would you miss me then?"

"Probably." Alexandra wasn't sure. They hadn't been apart long enough to know what it felt like to really miss each other. Not even for a day.

So she hadn't experienced what it meant to miss someone deeply.

"I don't want 'probably.' I want you to definitely miss me."

Frederick's tone was firm, like a commanding CEO, leaving no room for refusal.

"Alright then. But you have to give me some time. You came to find me before I even had a chance to miss you!"

Alexandra answered seriously, but Frederick felt wronged. "But I missed you so much, it was unbearable."

"I couldn't wait for you to start missing me. I had to come find you!"

"Why are you telling me all this?" Alexandra muttered, but her heart felt warm.

Everything he said about liking her was true.

He didn't just say it; he showed it through his actions.

Whether it was their frequent meetings or the things he did for her, it all proved his feelings.

Girls don't just want empty words; they want actions. And Frederick had done it all.

This made her once impenetrable heart begin to soften.

Alexandra realized she probably couldn't push Frederick away completely.

"Alright, alright."

She agreed reluctantly, seeming to compromise, but only she knew the changes in her heart.

Frederick was overjoyed at her words and hugged her tightly, their faces very close.

Their lips were less than an inch apart.

As they were about to kiss, Alexandra grew incredibly nervous.

And this scene was clearly seen by Celeste, who was watching them from her car.

Celeste had suspected Frederick was there to see Alexandra, and her guess was right.

But their intimate actions were infuriating Celeste.

Frederick treated Celeste with such cold indifference, not even giving her a second glance.

But with Alexandra, he couldn't get enough of her!

The difference was too much to bear.

Celeste gritted her teeth, her hands clenched tightly.

And this scene was also clearly seen by Dwayne.

Dwayne turned to Celeste, noticing her emotional change.

"Ms. Celeste Windsor, please calm down!"

"How can I calm down? Didn't you see that?"

Celeste closed her eyes tightly. "I'm a daughter of the Windsor Family, and compared to that country girl Alexandra, am I not better?"

"Frederick is from a noble family. He should be with someone like me, a wealthy heiress. But he's obsessed with Alexandra. What is this? A unique taste?"

Every word from Celeste was an attack on Frederick's judgment and Alexandra's worth.

Knowing Celeste was angry, Dwayne could only gently persuade her.

"Ms. Celeste Windsor, don't worry. Maybe Mr. Frederick Johnson is just playing around. A woman like her can't compare to you."

"When he's had enough, he'll realize your worth and come back to you!"

But at that moment, Frederick was staring at Alexandra with deep affection.

Their faces were very close, and Alexandra was trembling with nervousness, her heart racing.

She didn't know what Frederick would do next, but she couldn't say a word.

Sure enough, the next second, Frederick's lips were on hers.

It was their first close contact, their warm, soft lips intertwining, creating an unprecedented feeling.

Their hearts pounded, and Alexandra's mind went blank, unable to think of anything.

The kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water, didn't last long. It was a simple kiss, and Frederick quickly pulled away, looking a bit scared and shy.

His actions were surprising and shocking.
