Chapter 25 The Spying Servant
"Well then, I appreciate your hard work, Mrs. Harrington."He turned around, languid yet resolute.Victoria just stared at him.Yes, she was utterly dumbfounded.But, compared to later when he would be bare and she would have to bring him his clothes, it was obviously more appropriate to do it now. She quickly found his pajamas and brought them to him.The man in the bathroom had just taken off his shirt. Even after seeing her come in, he continued his actions unhurriedly.She knew that for some men, undressing in front of others may not be a big deal, so she told herself not to overthink. If he wasn’t embarrassed, why should she be?She lowered her head, "I'll leave your clothes here.""Wait, help me take this out."He suddenly stopped her.Victoria turned her head and saw it was his phone, so she quickly took it out for him.The sound of running water filled the room, making her face flush. She quickly left.But the phone in her hand suddenly rang.She stood dumbfounded at the door, turned her head, saw the name 'Isabella', and felt a pang in her heart. Yet, she still had to lean in and say, "It's Miss Montgomery calling.""You answer it for me."From his voice, it was clear he had stepped into the shower.She dared not fantasize about his sexy body, but... he wanted her to answer Isabella's call?!He was in the shower, so if Isabella asked and she answered like this, wouldn't Isabella get upset?She didn't answer it and left it on the bed.A few minutes later, he came out and asked her, "What did Isabella say?""I didn't answer."She was sitting on the sofa, but she immediately stood up when he came out and replied to him."You didn't answer? What if she had something important? You know she's pregnant; what if something happened? Could you take responsibility?"He suddenly questioned her.In that moment, Victoria felt like her heart had fallen off a cliff.Indeed, could she take responsibility?So, she would remember to answer Isabella's calls for him in the future.As long as she didn't think of herself as his wife, but as his subordinate, there would be no problem.She reminded herself of this, then said softly, "I will remember next time."Alexander glanced at her. Perhaps it was because her attitude was sincere that he didn't say anything else. He just picked up his phone and called Isabella back."Honey? It's in the kitchen; the second cabinet when you enter. Be careful, don't hurt yourself, hmm..."He could even accurately state where the honey was kept in Isabella's house.It showed how familiar he was with that place.He liked Isabella, and they were even expecting a child together. It was clear where his affections lay.Victoria warned herself, 'Stop overthinking. He's not yours.’‘You're just a couple in name; he has no feelings for you.’"Call me if you need anything, anytime is fine."Alexander finished speaking to Isabella in a good-natured manner, then hung up the phone.He turned to Victoria, who was lost in thought, and called out to her, "Victoria?"Victoria hadn't come back to her senses; she just instinctively looked up.Alexander looked into her eyes, which were filled with loss and desolation, and suddenly fell silent.After a while, he felt something heavy in his sleep pants pocket and reached his hand in."Phone."He said again, not as cold as before.Victoria saw it was her phone and immediately came forward.She had left her phone in the bathroom when she was taking a bath."Thank you."She took it with both hands.Alexander didn't respond, but he didn't let go of her phone either.Her phone case was pink, shiny, and particularly eye-catching, reminiscent of the sparkle in her eyes when she smiled.But now...She looked up at him, "Thank you."Alexander came to his senses and let go.Victoria turned around and saw there were unread WhatsApp messages on her phone. She opened them and started reading.Adrian had sent her a voice call, but she wasn't there at the time, so she didn't answer.It seemed that Alexander heard it, but he didn't answer either.Adrian... this name sounded familiar.——She had placed a blanket on the couch in advance. After quickly replying to the messages and noticing that he was still standing there, she mentioned to him, "Alexander, I'll sleep on the couch. Good night."Alexander came to his senses and called her, "Victoria?"She turned her eyes, "Hmm?""No man would let a woman sleep on the couch."
