Chapter 293 - Then, what now? (1/2)

Aleksis did not know how much time had passed until they finally broke free, reluctantly.

The two stared at each other with a somewhat awkward, but happy look. Even though Alaric was wearing a mask, Aleksis could see his eyes beaming, and his gaze made Aleksis' heart beat faster.

”Uhm...” Aleksis looked uncomfortable and blushed. She immediately turned toward the door and, without being told to do so, her legs ran fast out of Alaric's room.

The man was confused with Aleksis' behavior. The girl came and went like storm... He actually wanted to sit down and invite the girl to talk, but the girl left so fast, leaving behind only her scent.

Finally, he smiled to himself, picked up his glass of whiskey, and finished his drink happily.

He could order Pavel to find information about Aleksis tomorrow.

Alaric did not expect that 10 minutes later, there was another knock on his door. Before he could respond, the door to his room opened and Aleksis entered again, this time holding a very fat mini bulldog.

”Eh... you're back?” Alaric could not hide the happy tone in his voice. ”What is that?”

Aleksis smiled broadly, ”This is Little Prince Siegfried. I told you that he is healthy, happy, and fat...”

Alaric could not help laughing at the lazy-looking dog and his half-closed eyes. He approached Aleksis and took over Little Prince Siegfried from her arms.

”Hello, Prince Siegfried... How are you? It's been a long time, hasn't it?” he said, rubbing the dog's head who immediately let out a biiiig yaaaawn. ”Apparently it's his bedtime. Where did you get him from? That was really fast. ”

”Er... I am staying at the Continental Hotel until Sunday, and after that I will move to the school dormitory.”

Aleksis did not want to immediately tell him that she was the daughter of the building owner and that she was living in the penthouse on the top of the building. No matter what, her father always emphasized for her to always keep her identity private.

”Are you currently studying in Singapore? What major?” Alaric asked earnestly.

”I forgot what I majored in...” Aleksis answered bluntly. ”I just chose whatever... hahaha...”

”Why is that?” Alaric was astonished at Aleksis' casual response.

”Uhm... I didn't really intend to go to school... I applied to the campus here just as an excuse so I could move to Singapore and look for you.” Aleksis looked down to hide her blushing face, ”Now I've found you...”

Alaric was stunned to hear the girl's candor. He didn't expect Aleksis to like him that much... It even seemed that she was obsessed with him.

A warm sensation slowly filled Alaric's heart, and without being able to hold it, he landed his next kiss on Aleksis' lips.

He had never felt so attracted to a woman before. Aleksis, with her adorable behavior, had made him helpless and he was unable to hold back.

They only stopped kissing when Little Prince Siegfried struggled to get free because he was sandwiched between the two.

”Jeez... Please forgive us, Little Prince Siegfried...” said Aleksis quickly. She took the dog from Alaric's arms and placed him on the sofa. She turned to Alaric who was looking at her, amused, and the two then laughed out loud.

Weirdly enough, at the same time they both felt like they were a married couple with their four-legged kid.

Both of them smiled with that thought in their minds.

”Hmm... so...?” Aleksis looked at Alaric and tried to look for something to talk about.
