Chapter 92
Lila immediately tugged at her clothes, and after adjusting her mental state, looked at him again, "Stop joking around. I'm not that capable. What I mean is, when I start to like..."
She paused here, carefully choosing her words before speaking again, "When I start to like you—I mean, after I feel attracted to you—then we can do that kind of thing. Is that okay?"
This request came from Lila's mouth as she looked at Alexander with a pleading and ingratiating expression.
Alexander watched her nervous yet not daring to openly refuse him, and an inexplicable sense of pleasure arose in his heart.
His deep gaze looked into her uneasy eyes, "So tonight, you're not planning to sleep with me?"
Lila carefully began, "I mainly don't want to defile you when you don't have any feelings for me yet. I think intimate matters should be beautiful and mutually anticipated, not like now, where you're just..."
Realizing she almost let something slip, Lila stopped here.
Alexander promptly pressed, "Just what?"
Just playing around casually.
However, she didn't dare say it directly and smiled at him, "Just treating it as a form of entertainment, while I'm feeling somewhat scared. If something really happened under these circumstances, it wouldn't be beautiful at all. Besides, with your current status and power, you wouldn't stoop to forcing anyone, right?"
"What did you do for work before?"
"What do you mean?"
Alexander's voice was playful, with a hint of sarcasm, "Ever done pyramid scheme work? Your brainwashing skills are pretty strong."
Lila was speechless. "..."
He was overestimating her.
If she really had strong brainwashing abilities, he wouldn't have seen through her attempt to brainwash him.
Alexander didn't deliberately scare her anymore. After straightening up, he stared at her with an indifferent look, "You're right. In Oceancrest City, there are plenty of women lining up to get into my bed, and many with better figures and looks than you, so I wouldn't stoop to forcing..."
Alexander looked her up and down before continuing, "A girl like you who's mediocre in every way."
Lila didn't want to discuss this topic. Alexander was putting her down again.
"However..."
Alexander's expression turned a bit colder, "If you want to like me and develop feelings for me, don't we need to cultivate that?"
She nodded without hesitation in agreement, "Of course."
They did need to cultivate it, but as for when that would happen, who knew.
Lila thought happily, assuming she could finally be free.
But unexpectedly, Alexander had no intention of ending the conversation. Instead, he asked her, "How do you want to cultivate it?"
Lila thought for a moment, "Aren't we living under the same roof every day? And we go to and from work together too. What I mean is, after living together for a long time, feelings will naturally develop. What do you think?"
He scoffed coldly, enunciating each word heavily, "I think you're talking nonsense."
Lila froze.
Then she didn't know what to say.
Did he have to be so clear-headed?
Just as Lila was thinking about how to end the conversation and send him away from her room, Alexander's voice rang out from above her head again, "I believe the fastest way to cultivate feelings is through more physical contact between us. What do you think?"
She instinctively looked up, caught off guard as she crashed into his ocean-blue eyes, mechanically repeating, "Physical contact?"
Alexander ignored her pointless repetition and spoke in a business negotiation tone, "Holding my arm, holding my hand, kissing me, hugging me—physical contact like that will have a very positive effect on cultivating your feelings for me."
