Chapter 225 Interview (1) Entering the Noble Family
Alaric was such a jerk.
How could he look so smug?
Cecilia avoided his face.
She buttoned his shirt, one button at a time, seriously.
Alaric smirked, "I prefer it when you unbutton my shirt, one button at a time."
Cecilia wanted to strangle him.
"Pick a tie for me," Alaric demanded.
Cecilia held back her anger and went to pick a tie.
She thought, 'Fine, I'm not mad. Just like taking care of a disabled person.'
She opened Alaric's tie cabinet.
A whole glass case full of ties.
Alaric was such a spendthrift.
She saw many luxury brand ties with tags still on them.
"I want a more formal tie," Alaric reminded.
Cecilia sneered.
He was going out to hook up and still wanted to look formal.
But it made sense.
Women loved sophisticated men, and they loved it when a man was well-groomed.
It showed how much a man valued her.
Cecilia picked a blue and black striped tie.
She had seen Alaric wear it once before.
From a designer's perspective, she was sensitive to beautiful things.
That time, she was amazed by Alaric's tie.
She thought Alaric's taste was much higher than those around him.
Of course, because they were enemies back then, she couldn't acknowledge Alaric's taste.
She brought the tie over.
"Help me," Alaric said, satisfied with her choice.
Cecilia didn't want to argue anymore.
After taking care of him, she still had to go to work.
She stood on tiptoe and tied the tie around Alaric's neck.
Cecilia's movements were skilled.
She did it often for Dominic before.
Whenever Dominic attended an important event, he would ask her to tie his tie, saying it made him feel warm and want to come home early.
In fact, as soon as he turned around, his words became meaningless. He immediately went to sleep in another woman's bed.
Dominic ruthlessly discarded the tie she had carefully tied.
"Who are you thinking of?" Alaric's eyes were fixed on her.
Her sudden silence and the emotions on her face were completely seen by him.
Cecilia snapped back to reality and smiled faintly.
Now, Alaric wouldn't get angry anymore.It wasn't worth it for Dominic.
She replied, "An asshole."
"Dominic?" Alaric asked, more of a statement than a question.
Cecilia nodded lightly.
She had nothing to hide.
She had indeed suffered greatly because of Dominic!
"Did you take care of him like this before?" Alaric asked.
There was no emotion in his tone.
Cecilia finished tying the tie, looked at her handiwork, and said, "The process isn't something you want to know."
"I thought so."
Then they both fell silent.
She always felt Alaric was also deliberately avoiding her past with Dominic.
He handed his suit jacket to Cecilia.
This time, he didn't even ask; just one gesture, and Cecilia knew what he wanted.
She took Alaric's suit jacket and helped him put it on.
Then she watched him stand in front of the full-length mirror.
Every time Alaric wore a suit, he looked almost excessively dazzling.
She used to think that a jerk like Alaric, who only knew how to have fun, would clash with a suit.
Later, Cecilia realized that if a guy was handsome, clothes were just accessories.
She watched Alaric check himself out in the mirror, making sure he looked good.
"Am I the only woman who helps her husband dress up to hook up with others?" Cecilia blurted out.
Alaric glanced at her through the mirror, a smile playing on his lips. "Ms. Lockhart, do you think I'm going out today to satisfy my physical needs?"
'What else could it be?' she thought.
"Sure, what happened this morning was unusual for an adult man, but I value my life more than physical needs," Alaric said, clearly in a good mood.
Cecilia's eyes flickered.
"I'm going to an interview," Alaric explained.
Cecilia frowned. She really thought he was going out to meet a woman. After all, this morning...
Just thinking about it made her blush.
"Don't you watch the news? There's an interview for a Yakurosean Empire official position today," Alaric said.
Of course, she knew. But she asekd, "Isn't there a written test first? You have to pass that before the interview."
"So, do you have a problem with that?"
"You took the written test?" Cecilia was clueless.
She hadn't heard about him signing up. In her previous life, it wasn't even at this time. It was at least three years later.
"If I told you, I'd scare you," Alaric smiled, "I am number one."
She remembered in her previous life, Alaric was number one.
"Dominic was second," he added.
Cecilia really suspected Alaric had mind-reading abilities.
"Wait for me to bring back good news today," Alaric said, leaning in to kiss her cheek lightly.
Cecilia felt unexpectedly warm.
"I'm leaving now." Alaric checked his appearance one last time before leaving the dressing room.
Cecilia was left in a daze.
Because of her rebirth, everything had changed a lot.
Alaric sat in the car driven by Cassius, heading to City Hall.
Cassius asked while driving, "How's your body?"
"Not bad," Alaric replied coldly.
"Are you really planning to go in like this?" Cassius asked, referring to joining the noble family.
Alaric nodded.
"Didn't we agree to wait three more years, until everything was more stable?" Cassius frowned.
'How could Alaric change his mind so quickly?' he thought.
If Alaric hadn't asked Cassius to drive him to City Hall today, he wouldn't have known that Alaric had already taken the written test for the official position.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Alaric didn't explain much.
'You probably don't know what you're doing. You're probably in love with Cecilia, so you're eager to finish your business early and be with her, right? Don't think I can't see through your little tricks,' Cassius pondered.
But still, finishing early was good.
He was tired of dragging it out.
Cassius didn't say much more, drove to the destination, and accompanied Alaric to the interview hall.
Many interviewees were already waiting in the hall, including Dominic.
"Who do you think got first place in the written test?" one interviewee asked.
"It must be Mr. Kingsley from the Kingsley family," another answered.
Alaric just smiled and walked confidently into the hall.
