Chapter 32 You're My Wife
When Alicia Casey was led out of the restaurant by Edmond Agos, her mind was still a little blank.
To be honest, her heart seemed to have missed a beat the moment he appeared at the door just now.
Although it was not rescuing beauty in distress as what happened in the novel, Edmond's appearance helped her to escape Matt Charles's filthy hands. She also had an excuse to leave here.
After leaving the restaurant, the two walked hand in hand for a long distance.
Alicia was still in a daze.
Edmond's voice suddenly came.
"The cooperation project is messed up. How does it affect you?"
She recovered and said calmly.
"If the project cooperation opportunity is taken away by other companies, the directors may be dissatisfied."
"If they blame you, you can say that I made trouble on the spot. They can have a bone to pick with me."
"How can they? Will you operate on them for free?"
Edmond became cynical again. He nodded and said, "It's not impossible."
Alicia smiled.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the hand held by Edmond. They walked so close together that she could smell him, which caused ripples in her heart.
Alicia considered herself a sober woman.
She knew very well that she was incapable to ask a profligate to turn his life around.
She never thought that Ishe would walk side by side with Edmond in such a harmonious way. She never thought that they would enjoy the night breeze on an unfamiliar street.
In the past few days, the relationship between Edmond and her had suddenly developed in an extremely strange direction.
It made her confused.
She also felt dangerous.
"Why didn't you continue to pick up hot chicks just now, but go to help me?"
Hearing this, Edmond turned his head to the side and raised his eyebrows to look at her.
"When did I do it?"
"You purposely picked a seat near the beautiful girl. Didn't you seize the opportunity to strike up a conversation with her?"
He was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
The handsome face evoked a brilliant arc, more dazzling than a street lamp.
Alicia frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"You are jealous."
"No."
"Is it so difficult to admit?" Edmond hooked her chin and asked her a little aggressively.
However, Alicia did not buy it. She was stubborn and proud. She turned her head away and shrugged indifferently.
"I just know you, a scumbag, very thoroughly."
Of course, he knew that Alicia couldn't admit that she was jealous.
Their precious honor would never allow them to open their hearts. They didn't want to be seen through their minds.
For Alicia, it was tantamount to publicly expose her weak points.
She needed time.
Edmond was not in a hurry to get her to admit it, and deliberately changed the subject, "It's time to eat."
Alicia didn't object.
They saw Grill's Restaurant and walked in together without thinking.
They ordered some skewers and some beer and devoured the food.
It was rare for Edmond to see her eating without regard to her image, so she picked up his phone to record this precious moment.
Alicia paused after eating the skewers and looked at him.
"What are you doing?"
"A colleague sets his girlfriend's photo as the background of his mobile phone and shows it off in front of me every day."
"What does this have to do with you secretly taking pictures of me?"
"I want to win the game."
"Don't be so childish. I don't want to do such a stupid thing with you."
"No, you're my wife."
Alicia showed that she was speechless, but her heart was touched.
Before she could figure out her emotions, Grace Florrick sent her a message.
[Honey, I'm leaving...]
Alicia was so frightened that she went out of the restaurant with her mobile phone and called Grace.
Edmond watched her leave suspiciously. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
He was about to stand up and walk out when a hot girl from the next seat sat in Alicia's position. She shyly handed over her mobile phone and winked at him.
"Handsome... May I have your phone number?"
