Chapter 567 A Slight Tingling Sensation
"I don't care about you being my man anymore, Alexander." With that, Victoria walked around him and headed out.
Alexander stood there, watching her back, and suddenly chuckled, feeling a pang of sadness.
——
In the dining room, the head chefs of the Frosty Summit Hotel personally came with his apprentice to prepare dinner. Once they were done, they left.
Victoria ate the delicious food while secretly envying them for being able to leave.
She silently glanced at Alexander across from her and sighed inwardly with resignation.
But for some reason, she suddenly couldn't take her eyes off him.
He ate so elegantly. Even his slender fingers holding the fork looked so good.
"Eat first, you'll have plenty of time to look later." Alexander didn't even lift his eyes; he just gave a faint reminder.
Victoria immediately withdrew her gaze, but she suddenly felt a bit flustered.
However, she still thought to herself that she would run away when he wasn't paying attention.
But throughout the meal, she didn't find a chance to escape. When he drank, he even raised his glass to her.
Victoria picked up her wine glass and quietly reassured herself that she would run after dinner.
After dinner, Alexander stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
"Okay, I'll do the dishes," Victoria said softly.
Alexander glanced at her, gave a faint smile, and went to the bathroom.
Victoria held her breath and silently watched his figure enter the bathroom, then started counting in her mind, 'One, two, three, run!' she murmured inwardly.
She ran to the door, panting, but she suddenly found that the door wouldn't open. She tried a few more times, but it still didn't work.
She thought, 'Is it locked? No way. Alexander had been with me the whole time How could he have locked it?'
Victoria tried a few more times, suspecting that she didn't understand the door lock, and nervously glanced inside, afraid he would come out after washing his hands.
With his big strides, it wouldn't take him two minutes to catch her, and then...
Victoria didn't dare to think about the consequence.
But after fiddling with the door for a while and confirming it was locked, she finally stopped, kicked the door in frustration, and looked inside with dissatisfaction.
Damn it.
Alexander was in the bathroom, washing his hands unhurriedly, carefully drying each finger.
When Victoria returned from the door, he was already sitting on the living room couch.
A classic romantic comedy was playing on the large projector.
Victoria silently walked over, glaring at his face in anger and frustration, and finally spoke, "Please open the door and let me out, or I'll call the police."
Alexander didn't say anything; he just picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth.
The strawberry tasted pretty good. He ate while watching the movie.
Victoria had no choice but to sit down, giving herself a two-minute pep talk before speaking again, smiling, "Mr. Harrington, is this really necessary? What kind of woman can't you have? If you really can't find a suitable one, how about I help you? The actresses in our crew like you a lot and have asked me to introduce them to you."
"I'm satisfied with who I have," Alexander said unhurriedly, eating another strawberry.
Victoria glanced at the plate. There were about ten strawberries, and he had already eaten three.
She wouldn't eat them.
She wasn't craving them.
She was on a diet.
Victoria asked, "You're satisfied? What's her number? Tell me, and I'll call her to set up a date."
She thought she hadn't forgotten her secretarial duties.
She held up her phone, indicating for him to say the number.
Alexander looked at the characters in the movie andpicked up another strawberry, but after thinking for a moment, he put it down and recited a string of numbers.
After the first four digits, she couldn't press anymore.
It was her number.
While she was feeling frustrated, he unhurriedly ate two more strawberries.
Victoria stared at the dwindling plate of strawberries, feeling even more aggrieved.
She knew he was doing it on purpose.
Victoria decided not to mention it, stubbornly turning her head to watch the movie.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw his hand reaching for the plate again. Victoria took a deep breath and held back.
The night grew deeper, and Dennis sent a message reminding her: [Remember your self-discipline; control your mouth.]
Victoria glanced at her phone, thinking she didn't want to be self-disciplined, but Alexander wasn't letting her.
"Did you make the call?" Alexander finally spoke again.
Victoria glanced at him and then focused on the movie.
He always had that indifferent, in-control demeanor.
'Why should I cooperate with him?' Victoria thought, ignoring him.
He suddenly sighed, picked up a strawberry, and seriously remarked, "Today's strawberries are even sweeter than the ones on your birthday."
Hearing his words, Victoria grew angrier.
If they were at Metro House, she would have been the first to eat these.
When she got back to the Harrington Mansion, if he dared to eat like this in front of the elders, just see what would happen.
"Do you want to try one?" Alexander finally seemed to remember to offer her one.
"No," Victoria refused childishly. She wouldn't eat his leftovers.
"Alright," Alexander said faintly, then put the strawberry he was holding into his mouth.
There were three strawberries left on the plate. Victoria didn't even want to look at them, stubbornly saying, "I'm going to bed. I'll sleep in the master bedroom."
"Don't you want to freely come and go from the new house?" Alexander suddenly asked.
Victoria stood there for less than three seconds before sitting back down.
"Come here," he commanded in a deep voice.
"Why don't you come here?" Victoria retorted.
Alexander nodded. "Alright."
Victoria felt uneasy because he really moved toward her.
He leaned over and held a strawberry in front of her, asking, "The strawberries are right next to you, why do you need me to get them for you?"
Victoria then noticed that the plate of strawberries was actually closer to her.
She could have easily grabbed them.
But this was his house, and it would be rude to grab his food.
Once Victoria decided their relationship was over, she no longer considered him one of her own and was very polite to him.
Alexander teased, "Do you need me to feed you?"
Victoria frowned at the strawberry.
"If it goes from my mouth to yours, then..."
Before Alexander could finish, Victoria had already taken the strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth.
Her cheeks puffed up.
If he continued, she would start hallucinating.
She didn't like drinking strawberry juice that way.
But it was really sweet.
She suddenly started to enjoy it, slowly chewing the strawberry in her mouth.
Alexander asked, "Do you want more?"
Victoria replied honestly, "Yes."
As soon as he picked one up, she immediately took it from his fingers.
Alexander felt a tingling sensation where she had accidentally touched his fingers.
She was especially cute when she was sulking, so cute that he couldn't help but keep looking at her.
Of course, he had feelings for her.
He watched her for almost half a minute, then turned back to the old movie he had seen countless times.
After Victoria finished the three strawberries, she suddenly felt better and turned to him, asking, "Can I freely come and go from the new house now?"
