Chapter 208
"What?"
"What's wrong? You don't want to?"
It wasn't that she didn't want to. After all, this was the fastest way to get Ethan to accept clearing things up with his mom.
But?
Lila looked at him and asked, "Didn't you tell me before not to let others know about our relationship?"
"Within the scope I allow, you can tell them."
"Okay then."
She pulled her hand away and was about to open her phone camera when she thought for a moment, then looked at Alexander and asked, "Boss, can I use beauty mode?"
Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lila explained, "The regular camera makes things look too ugly. It can't really capture how handsome my husband is. With a beauty filter, it'll show your good looks better."
After hearing Lila's flattery, Alexander dropped two words: "Whatever."
"Okay."
Lila happily opened a camera with beauty filters, then switched to the front-facing camera. Standing to the side, she made a peace sign at the lens, quite satisfied with the beauty filter effect.
But Alexander behind her, coldly glancing at the lens, not only had lipstick on his lips but also eyeshadow around his eyes, looking like some kind of male demon!
She immediately sensed trouble.
The next second, Alexander's cold voice rang out: "Turn it off!"
"Oh, oh, okay, right away." Lila knew she couldn't make him look ugly like that, so she obediently chose a less obvious beauty filter and prepared to take another photo.
But then she noticed her face looked really big.
Lila turned to look at Alexander with a troubled expression.
"What now?"
"Can you hold the phone and take the picture?"
Alexander's face was full of confusion.
She explained, "If I'm in front, my face looks too big."
Alexander felt somewhat speechless about Lila's fussiness.
Though speechless, he still took the phone from her hand.
Just as Lila was about to walk around from behind him to the other side to strike a pose for the photo, her arm was suddenly grabbed.
Before she could ask Alexander what he was doing, she was pulled backward and landed on Alexander's lap, while a strong arm wrapped around her shoulder!
Lila was both surprised and embarrassed.
She tried to stand up, but Alexander's arm pressed her back down with force.
He had already raised the camera and commanded, "Look at the lens."
Lila looked over, her face still carrying a slight blush from embarrassment.
Alexander suddenly lowered his head, his thin lips touching her cheek.
Just as Lila was stunned, the shutter sound rang out—the photo was taken!
Alexander opened the photo to look at it, very satisfied, then looked down at the woman in his arms: "Send this one to Ethan. Send it now."
Lila hesitated: "Won't that be too..."
Alexander's threatening tone interrupted her: "Too what?"
Lila pursed her lips: "Nothing, I'll send it now."
He stared down at Lila's lowered lashes, the corners of his lips curving up slightly as he said with unclear meaning, "Be good, and I'll like you."
Lila was somewhat speechless at Alexander's narcissism.
Who wants him to like them?
Just as she was about to get off Alexander's lap, a knock came from the office door. In her panic, Lila stepped on Alexander's foot and her body tilted forward. Just as she was about to fall, he pulled her back with force.
Still shaken, Lila saw who had entered through the office door—it was actually Ms. Hill!
Her eyes immediately widened. Her heart felt like a calm sea that someone had thrown a huge rock into, stirring up waves upon waves.
With her mind in chaos, Lila's face actually showed the kind of awkward expression of a mistress caught fooling around with a playboy by his wife.
