Chapter 169
But on the surface, Julie had to force herself to stay calm.
Lila couldn't be bothered to argue with Julie anymore.
Nothing was more stimulating than seeing something with your own eyes!
She turned around and suddenly wrapped her arms around Alexander's waist, tilting her little face up at him from his embrace. Her voice was soft and sweet, "Honey, my head hurts so much. Please help me pick out the jewelry quickly so we can leave. I want something with big carats that looks good too."
Alexander hadn't expected to be suddenly hugged by this woman and felt a bit uncomfortable for a moment.
But looking at her innocent eyes and hearing her sweet voice, he actually found the feeling of being held by her quite pleasant.
For a moment, his gaze on her became somewhat dazed.
Seeing the two of them gazing at each other, Julie was going crazy with jealousy inside and interrupted, "Miss Grace, Alexander works hard for his money. When you're spending it, you should be more careful."
Lila turned to look at her. "You're talking about other men, not my husband. My husband makes money so easily, like picking flowers to give me. Otherwise, how could even a nobody of a woman casually get a hundred thousand dollars from him?"
Alexander wasn't listening to what she said.
Because he noticed a few strands of Lila's hair were messy, and he unconsciously raised his hand to smooth them for her. His movements were gentle and elegant, and paired with his handsome face, the sight was absolutely stunning.
Lila was confronting Julie and didn't notice Alexander's actions.
But Julie saw it crystal clear.
Suppressing the wildly growing jealousy in her heart, she stared at Alexander while responding to Lila. "Mr. Sinclair, I'm only borrowing money from you and will pay it back. How about this? I'll add your contact information later and pay you back 2000 dollars every month, so Miss Grace won't be unhappy."
Lila never expected this scheming girl would use this opportunity to ask for Alexander's WeChat!
And she was clearly answering her question but looking at her husband!
She also turned her head, looking at Alexander with innocent, dewy eyes, naturally unleashing her acting cute skills, speaking in a sweet voice, "Honey, I don't like you adding other women's contact information."
Meeting her gaze, Alexander answered softly, "Then I won't add it."
Lila broke into a smile, suddenly stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Love you! Here's a kiss as your reward."
Alexander's eyes froze.
She actually kissed him on her own initiative?
But why did he have the feeling he was being played for a fool?
Alexander's expression changed slightly. "Mrs. Sinclair, do you still want the gold jewelry or not?"
"Yes, Alex insisted on bringing me here, so it would be a waste not to get anything."
"Try on the bracelet first."
Lila nodded. "Okay!"
She pretended to reluctantly leave his embrace and extended her right hand to Julie. "This bracelet opening is so small, won't it hurt a lot to put on?"
Julie looked at her with a smile. "It'll hurt a little, Miss Grace, please bear with it."
"Be gentle."
"I'll try my best."
With that, Julie grabbed Lila's hand and started putting the bracelet on her. As soon as the opening passed her fingers, Julie suddenly applied force, and Lila instantly pulled her hand back in pain.
Julie looked at her as if nothing happene. "Miss Grace, what's wrong?"
"It hurt too much, I don't want to try it anymore."
With that, she held out her left hand in front of Alexander. "Honey, my hand is red."
Alexander glanced at her hand, his expression changed slightly, then he looked at Julie with displeasure. "Is this how you serve customers?"
