Chapter 303 A Matter Between Men
"Vicky, are you home?" came the voice."Adrian? Yes, I am, but... give me a moment."
As soon as Alexander turned around, her phone rang. She answered the call and ran outside, only to see that the well-dressed man was actually unbuttoning his shirt.
With a downward glance, Alexander inspected his chest muscles before shifting his gaze to the woman standing in the doorway. A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth."This is a matter between men, Mrs. Harrington. There's no need for you to get involved," he explained, his tone casual.Alexander's actions left Victoria in a state of confusion, her mind a whirlwind of questions. What on earth was Alexander doing? Was he attempting to flaunt his physique to Adrian? But Adrian was an actor, and his physique was nothing to scoff at either.Leaning nonchalantly against the door frame, Alexander straightened up as he swung the door open, his demeanor radiating an air of ease. "Who's disturbing us so early? Adrian?" he asked, his voice laced with playful mockery.Adrian's heart fluttered at the sight of Alexander, but he quickly reined in his excitement. "I came to bring breakfast for Vicky.""Then I'll thank you on her behalf. Leave the breakfast with me. You can go," Alexander replied dismissively."Alexander, why are you here?" Adrian asked, his brow furrowing in confusion."Why am I here?" Alexander echoed, a smile playing on his lips. He turned to look at Victoria, who was already making her way over, and stepped aside to let her pass.Victoria's lips were swollen from his kisses, her hair hanging loosely at the back, revealing the marks on her neck. To anyone observing, it would seem they had spent a passionate night together.The thought left a bitter taste in Alexander's mouth. Victoria had cried so hard last night that he had been forced to stop. But whether they had actually slept together was irrelevant now. The important thing was to make Adrian, the ever-loyal young man, believe they had."Adrian, aren't you supposed to be on set?" Victoria asked.
"I happen to have some spare time today," Adrian replied.
"How about we have breakfast together?"As their eyes locked, Alexander swiftly wrapped an arm around Victoria's shoulders, pulling her into his embrace under the pretense of having a private discussion. He didn't care if Adrian and Victoria were really exchanging meaningful glances; he was simply jealous. He felt that Victoria was paying more attention to Adrian than him, and it irked him.Alexander wouldn't invite Adrian for breakfast without an ulterior motive. He wanted to flaunt his relationship with Victoria, to show off his intimate knowledge of her home, from the kitchen to the bedroom.Victoria excused herself to change her clothes and cover her wounds. As she ate, she noticed Alexander constantly searching for something. She leaned in towards Adrian, whispering, "Is there something wrong with your brother here?" She tapped her temple for emphasis.Adrian remained silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.It seemed Victoria didn't know much about Alexander either."Or was he traumatized by something as a child?" Victoria asked, her brow furrowed in concern.Adrian's laughter intensified, his shoulders shaking with mirth.Alexander emerged from the bedroom, an unwrapped pack of tissues in hand, to find them both laughing. "How could you not know? You're his cousin," Victoria said, her laughter echoing Adrian's."But I grew up abroad," Adrian reminded her, his laughter subsiding.A muffled sound echoed through the room, snapping the pair out of their jovial conversation. They turned to find Alexander standing before them, a stern expression on his face."You guys are eating. Don't you know you can't talk while you're eating?" Alexander said irritably, pulling out the chair next to Victoria and settling down.The room fell silent, the previous laughter dying down. Victoria remained quiet, and Adrian suddenly found himself at a loss for words.Annoyed, Adrian sent Victoria a message on WhatsApp.
Adrian: [What's your plan for your birthday?]Victoria read the message and quickly understood his implication. She swiftly replied.
Victoria: [No one is allowed to bother me. You focus on your filming.]
