Chapter 401
"Yo, Mr. Tudor, when you gonna drop my shipment?" Kyle's lips pressed tight, his eyes dark and dangerous.
Alexander gave him a once-over, like he was trying to read his mind.
"In Lisbun, Louis's stuff is a no-go. That's the rule. If you keep pushing to bring it in, don't expect any favors from me," Alexander's voice dropped, oozing authority.
Kyle's brows knitted, his stare challenging. "Is that all you got, Mr. Tudor?"
"To handle you? More than enough," Alexander smirked, sarcasm dripping from his eyes.
Kyle stepped forward, looking a bit riled up.
Alexander shot him a sideways glance, his voice icy, "Kyle, if you think you can use the Percy family to strong-arm me, think again."
The Percy family wasn't about to be Kyle's pawn. Declan might joke around, but he was rock-solid when it came to his interests.
Kyle's right fist clenched, his teeth grinding.
Alexander looked up, his gaze cold and sharp. "I'll say it again, the Tudor family had nothing to do with that!"
Their eyes locked.
Alexander's stare was firm and serious, while Kyle's eyes burned with hate. But soon, Kyle pulled himself together.
He smirked, "Mr. Tudor, everyone has a weakness. Don't be too cocky."
Alexander watched him walk away, his gaze turning cold and his face darkening.
"Alexander." Kieran's voice came from behind.
Alexander turned and grunted in response.
"You good?" Kieran walked over and gave his shoulder a pat.
Alexander shook his head.
"That Kyle dude came in hot. Is he here to settle old scores?" It was Kieran's first time dealing with Kyle.
Alexander nodded slightly.
Kieran sighed, "I heard you’re checking out wedding dresses. You really gonna marry that chick?"
Alexander shot him a look, "Her name’s Esme."
"Yeah, whatever." Kieran wasn’t a fan of Esme anyway.
"Think it through, man. Once you marry Esme, getting a divorce will be a nightmare." Kieran pouted, "Even worse than divorcing Elizabeth! Speaking of, aren’t you supposed to get the divorce papers with Elizabeth?"
Alexander was already ticked off.
Kieran just had to bring up something even more annoying.
"Alexander, seriously, think it over!" Kieran gave his shoulder a heavy pat, speaking earnestly.
Alexander glanced at him sideways, "Weren’t you all for my divorce before? What’s changed?"
Kieran opened his mouth but then clammed up.
Alexander snorted, "Because Lila’s working with you, you’re siding with Elizabeth now?"
He stepped into the elevator, hitting the close button before Kieran could catch up.
Kieran stood at the door, laughing helplessly.
Kieran thought, 'That Alexander! Why’s he gotta be so clear-cut about everything? Wouldn’t it be easier to just go with the flow?'
Alexander left the hotel, not sure where to head next.
He drove around aimlessly and ended up at the Percy Mansion.
His phone buzzed with a message from the designer: [Mr. Tudor, free tomorrow? Meet to take measurements with Ms. Russell?]
