Chapter 63 In Fact, He was Nervous Too.
After Jasmine departed, Alexander turned to Victoria, "She seemed quite concerned about you, didn't she?"
"Is there an issue with that?" Victoria countered.
Meeting her eyes, Alexander remained silent and strode purposefully into the building. Victoria trailed after him.
Embracing the role of his temporary secretary meant embodying diligence and responsibility.
Meanwhile, Mr. Harrington engaged the factory manager, stating, "I've heard from Victoria that your cafeteria serves excellent food."
The manager responded enthusiastically, "Mr. Harrington, you should stay and experience it for yourself."
"Very well," Alexander replied.
Victoria observed the exchange in confusion. Why did Mr. Harrington suddenly express interest in dining at the factory cafeteria?
Well, if he could enjoy even a slice of bread, then perhaps it wasn't so strange for him to want to dine here. Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
She checked his schedule beforehand and found that there were no prior plans for Alexander to visit the factory that day or in the near future.
Victoria found herself incredibly puzzled by this sudden visit and his curiosity to try the food.
Unable to decipher her boss' intentions, Victoria resigned herself to uncertainty.
After dinner concluded, only one car remained, and it was Alexander who took the wheel.
As Victoria watched him get into the car, she hesitated involuntarily.
"Aren't you getting in? Do you plan to sleep in the factory?" Alexander asked from across the car.
Of course not.
She immediately snapped out of it, but instead of entering the front passenger seat, she chose to sit in the back.
However, when she entered, she caught a whiff of a familiar perfume.
She didn't like it.
Glancing away, she noticed Alexander hadn't gotten into the car yet.
Later, he also entered the backseat from the other side and glanced at her, "Do you enjoy having your boss as your chauffeur?"
"No, I just..." Victoria replied.
"If not, move to the front." Alexander interrupted her.
His tone was firm.
Unable to refuse, Victoria lowered her head and softly explained, "Can I not sit in the front?"
"Why?" Alexander continued to inquire.
"The scent is a bit overpowering " Victoria responded.
She glanced away, not wanting him to see her expression at that moment.
Ten minutes later, Alexander’s luxury sports car was still parked at the factory while they took the factory's shuttle home.
Sitting in a BMW seemed a bit it seemed a bit beneath him., but he said nothing as they sat in the back together.
The driver in front felt the atmosphere was strange and refrained from speaking.
During the drive, Victoria suddenly felt Alexander’s strong fingers clasp her left hand.
Caught off guard, she immediately placed both hands on her lap.
Alexander glanced at her, seeing that she had shifted to the side, and sighed softly in resignation.
Victoria soon felt his familiar presence drawing near. She couldn’t move any further; she was already at the edge.
Alexander didn’t care though; he maintained a serious expression as he drew ever closer. Soon enough, he held her hand.
Victoria looked at their intertwined hands and suddenly found the situation amusing.
Wasn’t this the same man who brought up divorce? Was he toying with her emotions?
Alexander remained serious throughout, never even taking one look at her.
In truth, he was nervous. Her hand felt delicate and soft, as if he could accidentally break her bones with a slight squeeze. How could he bear to do that?
But if he didn't hold on tight, she would have kept struggling.
It was the first time he had ever done something like this. He never thought he would ever force a girl's hand into his and intertwine their fingers together.
Initially, it was a reflex; he was just going with the flow.
But tonight, his breathing became strained. He wanted to hold this girl's hand forever.
Victoria's eyes unknowingly became misty, but she remained quiet; she was afraid the driver upfront might notice. She just wanted to get home quickly and then part ways.
