Chapter 312 - So much love for him... (1/2)

Aleksis made sure that Carl and Sasha were accompanying her dog in the penthouse so they wouldn't see her going down to the lobby holding hands with a masked man and enter his armored Mercedes.

Aleksis did not want them to report this to her father and mother who were on their honeymoon for the umpteenth time in the Seychelles. She was worried that her parents would be distraught to hear the news and immediately leave for Singapore.

It was bad enough that Uncle Rory would come next week, she thought.

Alaric carried Aleksis' bag and placed it in the car. He then accompanied the girl to sit in the backseat. The backseat was made very private as it had dark glass and there was a barrier with the front seat where the driver was.

Aleksis didn't mind privacy, especially when she was with Alaric. They looked at each other as soon as the car door closed and the vehicle began to move.

Alaric was still fascinated by Aleksis' beautiful appearance. He could not understand why such an attractive girl would intentionally make herself ugly by wearing shabby clothes and oversized nerdy glasses.

”At first I thought you had very bad taste in fashion... I wanted to take you shopping and give you insights on fashion so that you will look more attractive... but apparently that's not necessary. I was fooled...” Alaric said, staring at Aleksis with an amazed look. ”You must have your own reasons, why you deliberately try to look unattractive...”

Aleksis nodded, ”My parents are worried that my physical appearance may attract too much attention, and a lot of men would bother me and make my life uncomfortable...”

”Hmmm... and you don't mind that?” Alaric asked attentively, ”Isn't it tiring to pretend to be someone you're not?”

Aleksis never really thought about that. She didn't really care about her appearance, but if she were honest, she really hoped that she didn't have to deliberately make herself unattractive just to avoid men's attention.

The problem was that if she didn't make herself unattractive, Carl and Sasha would beat up a lot of insolent men who bothered Aleksis. They would attract so much attention...

”I have no choice...” said Aleksis, shrugging.

Alaric looked thoughtful. He then took out his cellphone and dialed a number.

”Pavel, call Takeshi and Mischa to Singapore. I want them to work for me. They will be assigned to protect Aleksis,” he said curtly. There was an affirmative answer from Pavel, and Alaric hung up his phone.

”Eh... who are Takeshi and Mischa?” Aleksis asked, astonished.

Alaric smiled slightly, ”Takeshi and Mischa are my two assassins from the Phoenix and Dragon level. They've been on holiday for quite some time, so I'm sure they will be happy to come to Singapore and enjoy the change of scenery by working for me. I will not let anyone bother you. You can be yourself without having to worry about perverts and annoying men. Let Takeshi and Mischa take care of them...”

Jeez...

Aleksis looked at Alaric with an astonished expression.

Alaric reminded her a lot of her father in terms of being over protective toward her. Didn't Carl and Sascha follow Aleksis to Singapore because her father told them to protect her?

Now Alaric wanted to add to her security with the two most dangerous assassins from Rhionen Assassins...
