Chapter 265 Alexander's Sweet Nothings
As soon as Grant took off, Victoria dashed upstairs to grab her phone. She was back down in no time.
She powered it on and, sure enough, there was a missed call from Marlowe.
The call had come in while she and Alexander were... busy, so she hadn't noticed it. Marlowe and Nancy had also sent her a bunch of messages.
Alexander glanced at the screen, squinting a bit. "Is that Meadowview Villas?"
Victoria, while typing out replies, casually said, "Yeah."
Alexander raised an eyebrow, and said airily, "You got a place there too?"
Meadowview Villas was a high-end property under Vertex Holdings Group, prime real estate with 33 villas, all sold out. And they weren't cheap.
After finishing her messages, Victoria looked up, her almond eyes sparkling with a smile. "Surprised I have a house?"
Alexander just raised an eyebrow, waiting for more.
Victoria grinned. "I might be the CEO of a small company, not as loaded as you, Mr. Big Shot CEO of Vertex Holdings, but I can still afford a house." Her look said, "Don't underestimate me."
Alexander chuckled deeply. He wasn't underestimating her, just caught off guard.
A house in Meadowview Villas was worth sixty million bucks, so the residents were usually rolling in it.
Alexander teased with a smile, "So you're a billionaire too, huh?"
Victoria's eyes twinkled with mischief. She leaned in closer, tilting her head, looking cute and playful.
She only showed this side of herself with him.
With Alexander, she felt more at ease, letting her true self shine through.
"Then let me, the rich one, take care of you, okay?" She smiled, her tone a mix of teasing, charm, and a bit of bossiness, but still playful.
Alexander's eyes softened, filled with a smile that could pull her into his gentle, pampering world with just one look.
Looking at the smiling Victoria, he replied without hesitation, "Sure, I'll make the money, and you take care of me. Sounds perfect."
His words hit her right in the feels, making her feel warm, secure, and happy.
She just lay on his chest, looking up at him. "I think it's great too."
Alexander's gaze fell on her tempting lips as he felt the urge to kiss them.
Victoria, lying on his chest, could see his sexy Adam's apple moving.
She reached out and gently stroked it with her index finger.
A man's Adam's apple was super sensitive.
But she did it anyway, gently stroking it with her soft fingers.
The moment she touched it, Alexander's body stiffened, like he'd been hit by a jolt of electricity, making him feel tingly all over and instantly arousing his desire.
Just as he was about to grab her, Victoria, who had been lying on his chest, suddenly moved away.
Slightly stunned, Alexander watched Victoria scramble out of the couch, his brows knitting together.
Her eyes sparkled with triumph, and she curled her lips slightly. "So easy to turn you on. I see, you're quite a hothead."
Alexander's face stiffened. 'Am I being played?'
He then bit his teeth, laughed, and said something hard to refute. "Only in front of you. One look from you will turn me on."
Victoria fell silent.
At that moment, Sawyer walked in and respectfully called out, "Mr. Howard." Then he looked at Victoria, "Mrs. Howard, someone is here to see you."
"Who is it?" Victoria raised an eyebrow. This person came at the perfect time; she was just wondering how to escape.
Otherwise, if he caught her, he'd definitely start making love to her again, and her body couldn't take it.
