Chapter 106
Alexander couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, and it made him irritable.
He raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and said to Lila coldly, "Don't stand here ruining my mood. Get lost and go to bed."
Lila obediently agreed.
Considering Alexander was injured, she didn't hold his harsh words against him. After responding, she turned and walked toward the stairs.
After going upstairs, she glanced back at Alexander sitting downstairs.
His brows were tightly furrowed as he leaned against the sofa, rubbing his temples over and over. Who knew what was bothering him.
Lila couldn't read him and didn't care to think too much about it. After all, his wound had been treated by the doctor, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
She went back to her room.
As she closed the door, she heard the sound of a lighter from downstairs.
Was he going to smoke?
Wasn't he worried about his wound healing slowly?
Lila closed the door and lay on her bed, her mind restless.
It wasn't because she was worried about Alexander, but because she was worried that after his headache passed tomorrow, he would settle the score with her for hitting him.
Feeling uneasy, Lila confided in Elara.
[Elara, I injured Alexander today. What should I do? I think he must hate me now, and he might even get revenge on me.]
Elara always replied quickly, and this time was no exception: [You're not with him right now?]
Lila: [I'm in my room, he's downstairs.]
Elara: [What was his reaction when you first injured him? Did he do anything to you?]
Lila: [He was just angry, but he didn't do anything to me.]
Elara: [Well, if he already got angry, that means the matter is over. He probably won't do anything to you. Worst case, buy him a gift and give him a proper apology?]
Buy a gift to apologize?
Lila thought this was a good idea.
If she brought him a gift to apologize, it would show her sincerity. What reason would he have to get revenge on her then?
But what gift would be good?
Alexander had plenty of money. All his clothes were custom-made, so it wasn't her place to give him those, and she couldn't afford them anyway.
A watch?
She definitely couldn't afford that.
A tie?
That seemed too personal.
As Lila was thinking, the image of him lighting a cigarette earlier suddenly popped into her mind.
Lila decided to give him a lighter.
The more expensive lighters on shopping apps were only a few hundred yuan, which she could afford.
With that thought, Lila quickly opened a shopping app.
The next day.
Lila got up earlier than usual. Not only did she make breakfast, but she also prepared lunch for Alexander to take to the company.
Yesterday Dr. Harris said his diet should be light, so today she specially made it herself. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about him eating greasy food at the staff cafeteria or outside restaurants.
However, breakfast was usually not greasy anyway, so today was the same as usual.
After the meal, they left Island Mansion together.
Lila stood beside Alexander, and as they walked toward the car together, she looked at him and said, "Honey, since you're injured today, let's skip driving practice this morning, okay?"
Alexander glanced at her coolly and said nothing.
When they reached the car, Lila thoughtfully opened the back door for him, "You're injured, so I'll drive to the company today."
Alexander didn't say anything, but he got in the back seat.
Seeing that Alexander was being somewhat cooperative, Lila felt relieved.
However, she could clearly sense that Alexander was still unhappy, because he didn't say a word to her the entire way to the company, and when they arrived, he didn't let her take the same elevator with him upstairs.
After taking the staff elevator upstairs and entering the CEO's office, Lila walked to Alexander's desk. "Boss, I told Charlie earlier that he doesn't need to bring you lunch today."
Hearing this, he looked up, and his first words were a disapproving reprimand, "Who told you to make decisions on your own?"
