Unrepairable Love
Chapter 372
“Surprised?” Alexander asked, a smirk playing on his lips.
Elizabeth took a moment to gather herself. Honestly, she wasn’t all that shocked. She’d had a hunch the guy puffing away by the restroom was Alexander. Just didn’t think she’d be right.
“You really went to see Louis?” Alexander’s eyes bore into her, full of questions.
“My business ain’t your business, Mr. Tudor. Just drop me off at that restaurant,” Elizabeth pointed ahead, her stomach growling.
She’d been running around all day and needed some grub.
Alexander glanced over and grinned. “But if I hadn’t shown up, you might’ve been caught.”
“Mr. Tudor, I’ve got my own crew. Don’t flatter yourself,” Elizabeth shot back with a sarcastic smile.
In her head, she thought, ‘Caught? Even if I got caught, I’d get out. Plus, I’ve got a backup plan. That dagger I carry? It’s poisoned. I wasn’t kidding when I said I’d mess Louis up. He should be feeling it by now. If he tries anything, I’ll use the antidote to blackmail him or go public.
“Stop the car,” Elizabeth tapped the window, getting annoyed.
Alexander kept driving.
“I said stop the car. Didn’t you hear me?” Elizabeth’s voice was sharp.
“If you’re hungry, I’ll take you somewhere better. The food’s great,” he said, way too calm for her liking..
Elizabeth eyed him suspiciously. “Alexander, why don’t we just focus on our own stuff? What’s your deal?” Elizabeth’s tone was sour.
She seriously thought Alexander needed his head checked.
‘Does he even realize how weird he’s been acting towards me?‘ she wondered.
“Just grabbing a bite with my ex,” he said casually, “Considering she’s a big shot in Nyxonia now.”
Elizabeth frowned, sensing there was more to his words.
Alexander chuckled and handed her his phone. “Take a look.”
Elizabeth saw that Nyxonia’s entertainment news was all about her. She finally got how her cover was blown. It was the tattoo.
‘Damn, I should’ve worn something that covered it,‘ she thought.
“So, she suddenly had a thought, “was it you who called the waiter to help me out at the restroom?”
Alexander didn’t answer, which was answer enough.
Elizabeth squinted and smiled. Mr. Tudor, that was Louis.”
Alexander didn’t seem to care.
“And I just hurt Louis,” she reminded him.

Alexander shrugged, like it was no big deal.
“Aren’t you planning to team up with Louis?” Elizabeth cut to the chase.
If Louis finds out I was picked up by Alexander after hurting him, would he still work with Alexander?‘ she wondered. But she didn’t know that the Tudor Group only partnered with people of good character. Louis didn’t fit the bill, and they didn’t need his resources
anyway.
“No problem,” Alexander said, brushing it off.
Elizabeth studied him and leaned forward. “Mr. Tudor.”
He stopped the car in front of a restaurant and looked at her. “Yeah?
“Did you buy the butterfly necklace?” she asked.
Alexander raised an eyebrow. “So what?”
“Sell it to me,” she said seriously. She really wanted it.
“Ms. Percy, how much you willing to pay?” Alexander asked, clearly amused.
“Mr. Tudor, name your price,” Elizabeth smiled, giving him the upper hand.
As long as he was willing to sell, she’d pay whatever.
“Let’s eat first,” he said, getting out of the car.
