Chapter 849
Elizabeth glanced at the time and then sheepishly smiled at Zander, "Look at me. I got so caught up chatting with you that I forgot to eat."
"Great conversation," Zander, who wasn't very talkative, replied.
"Let's go. We'll treat you. Welcome to Dream City," Gavin said warmly with a big smile.
Elizabeth couldn't help but take a few more glances at Gavin.
He was quite sunny and handsome.
As they were heading out with Gavin, Elizabeth's phone rang.
Alexander: [Where are you?]
Alexander: [It's Christmas today. I didn't bother you all day. Do you have time to celebrate tonight?]
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and replied: [On a business trip.]
Alexander: [You're on a business trip?]
Elizabeth: [Yes.]
Alexander: [Why didn't you tell me? Dream City is so dangerous. Did you go alone?]
Elizabeth: [I'm with a young girl. Sheldon is your good friend, I thought he would tell you. So Sheldon didn't tell you?]
Elizabeth pouted.
Alexander could easily find out her schedule, couldn't he?
Alexander: [What time will you be back? It's already very late.]
Elizabeth: [If everything goes well, I'll take the 8 PM train.]
Alexander:[ What do you mean, it might not go well?]
Elizabeth: [I don't know.]
She and Zander had a great conversation, and since it was rare to visit, Elizabeth wanted to stay and chat for a couple more days.
But thinking about Christmas today, and how Declan had set up a Christmas tree for her, Elizabeth felt a bit hesitant.
Alexander: [I'll come pick you up.]
Seeing this message, Elizabeth felt like she was covered in spikes and quickly replied: [No!]
Why would she need him to pick her up?
She could take the train herself.
Elizabeth: [I'm out here working, don't bother me.]
Alexander: [I'm very worried.]
Elizabeth: [I did just fine without you for those three years. Alexander, I don't need your worry.]
Alexander: [The past is the past. Now is now.]
Elizabeth: [There's no difference.]
Alexander: [You promised to give me three months.]
Elizabeth: [I did promise, but that doesn't mean I have to cooperate with everything you do!]
Elizabeth kept typing, chatting back and forth with Alexander on Facebook.
Blair had the car door open for a while, but Elizabeth still hadn't gotten in.
"Elizabeth, are you getting in or not?" Blair said, annoyed.
Elizabeth finally looked up, turned off her phone, and quickly got into the car.
She didn't reply to Alexander anymore.
Alexander knew she didn't want to talk to him, so he sighed.
Alexander: [Fine, I'll wait for you to come back.]
Elizabeth saw the message but felt no emotion.
Although Dream City was dangerous, with so many people around, what was there to be afraid of?
"Gavin, how old are you this year?" Blair suddenly asked.
Gavin joked with her, "Miss Ember, you wouldn't be falling for me, would you?"
Blair: "Narcissistic, anyway, you can just call me Blair."
"Alright, sorry. Blair, I just turned 27 this year."
Elizabeth looked up, just 27?
"He's older than you," Elizabeth teased Blair on purpose.
Blair snorted.
At 6 PM, there were even more people on the streets.
Those people were even more brazen than during the day.
While waiting at a traffic light, Elizabeth rolled down the car window.
Someone outside looked over and flipped Elizabeth the bird!
