Unrepairable Love
Chapter 360
Alexander hustled over to where Elizabeth had been chillin‘ just a second ago. But when he got there, she was already MIA.
He scowled and scanned the area. A waiter rolled up and asked, “Need anything, sir?”
“Yeah, where’d the lady who was here go?” Alexander shot back.
The waiter pointed outside. “She just bounced!”
Alexander’s eyes darted outside, catching a glimpse of Elizabeth hopping into a car.
He bolted after her, convinced it was her.
Just as he was about to jump into his car, Nolan showed up. “Mr. Tudor, what’s the deal?”
“I think I saw Elizabeth,” Alexander said, ice–cold.
Nolan looked confused. “Ms. Percy? No freakin‘ way. I just saw her at the hospital before swingin‘ by here. She’s probably still kickin‘
it there.”
Nolan followed Alexander’s gaze and got serious. “Mr. Tudor, we got other stuff to handle. Let’s not waste time.”
Alexander went quiet. Nolan was right; Elizabeth should be at the hospital.
“Mr. Tudor, your arm?” Nolan asked, eyeing Alexander’s injury.
Alexander shook it off. “It’s nothing.”
“Did our stuff get delivered?” Alexander asked.
Nolan nodded. “Yeah, Mr. Tudor, SerenityLeaf is at the auction site.
“Louis is all about SerenityLeaf, so let him snag it at the auction today,” Alexander said, cool as a cucumber.
Louis wanted it, and Alexander had it. But Louis was too principled to take gifts. So, Alexander sent it to the auction house, letting Louis win it fair and square.
This way, Louis could take it without feeling weird and remember Alexander’s generosity.
Alexander wasn’t cheap when it came to valuable stuff. It showed he was serious about their partnership.
“I haven’t even had my coffee yet!” Felix whined from the car.
Elizabeth glanced back and sighed. “Small world, Alexander’s here.”
Felix was shocked. “Mr. Tudor’s in Nyxonia too?”
“Yeah, here for some business,” Elizabeth said, all chill.
Felix pouted. “You and Mr. Tudor, always running into each other. It like fate or something.”
Elizabeth shot Felix a cold look, eyes full of disdain and a hint of that.

If Felix said one more word, she was ready to deck him.
Felix chuckled. “I picked up the dress. You can try it on later. Everyone at this auction is high society. They might look low–key, but they’re all rocking luxury brands. Even the plain dresses are custom–made.”
Elizabeth leaned on her hand, staring out the window, barely listening.
Felix kept going. “I also borrowed some haute couture jewelry. Boss, you’ll be the most stunning woman tonight!”
Elizabeth glanced at Felix, feeling a headache coming on. “Why so flashy? We’re here to win SerenityLeaf.”
“To win SerenityLeaf, you gotta go all out. Oh, and tonight’s auction is a masked one,” Felix added.
Elizabeth perked up. “What do you mean?”
Felix explained, “Half an hour before the auction, there’s a masked cocktail party. Everyone mingles and socializes. After that, everyone gets a number and heads to their auction rooms for the bidding.”
Elizabeth was surprised. “We don’t sit together?”
“Nope,” Felix shook his head.
Elizabeth smirked. “So many gimmicks?”
