Chapter 43: Love Someone else
Second-floor study.
Alex sat on the chair with a gloomy face, his knuckles resting on his chin, lost in thought. From the moment she walked in, he could tell that she had something on her mind. These days, he had been deliberately suppressing his temper and accommodating her in every way possible, so it was unlikely that he had done anything to upset her.
From what she had just said, it seemed like she had developed feelings for another man and was eager to leave him.
But she had been busy at the clinic lately and had no chance to meet other men. Could it be one of the patients she has been treating? Suddenly, Alex narrowed his eyes and felt a sense of foreboding. Then, a familiar figure came to mind. The person who had been closest to Claire recently, he thought of someone. He stood up abruptly, rushed to the living room
she doesn’t have feelings for anyone... " upon hearing this, Alex’s body stiffened and his eyes dimmed.
Looking at him, Louis shook his head and sighed, "Ah, seeing you like this, I’m afraid you’re helplessly enchanted by her."
"Brother, I don’t understand matters of the heart, but I do understand you as a person."
"With your way of doing things and your temper, even if you really like someone, you’ll make her feel like you’re getting back at her..."
After speaking, Louis patted Alex’s shoulder and said,
"Alex, give up."
Give up?
Alex’s expression changed slightly, his eyes fixed on Louis. After a while, he asked in a confused tone, "Then what should I do?"
This statement stunned Louis, who looked back at him with confusion. After a long time, he forced a bitter smile and said, "Alex, I’ve been dealing with you for the past few years, and you’ve stolen all the limelight."
"All those women are throwing themselves at you, how could they see me?"
He felt both bitter and angry in his heart. He thought that he was not lacking in any aspect, but he had been by Alex’s side and was almost thirty years old, yet he had never had a love affair.
Upon hearing this, Alex looked at Louis with a contemptuous expression and snorted disdainfully,
"And you want to teach me?
Louis’s face turned red with embarrassment, and seeing that Alex’s mood had improved, he suggested, "Alex, let’s not be at odds with each other."
"You haven’t had dinner, have you? | know a restaurant with good food," said Louis.
"I took Claire there today. Shall I treat you? "Alex nodded instinctively and put his hand on the steering wheel, about to drive. As if he had thought of something, he slowly turned his head and looked at Louis dangerously, asking,
"What did you say? You went to dinner with my wife?"
Louis’s mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly, "It was a business negotiation, talking about work, a business dinner!"
Alex narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The company won’t pay for it"
"Where is it?"
Louis’s mouth twitched again, thinking to himself that Alex was stingy. Then he told him the address.
In a restaurant in the center of City A, the two sat facing each other. Alex propped his chin up, looking very troubled. Louis’s brow furrowed, his heart in turmoil. Then he sighed lightly, picked up the wine on the table and poured him a glass, saying, "Alex, it’s just a woman.
You manage a large corporation and I’ve never seen you so worried before."
Hearing this, Alex gave Louis a disdainful glance and said,
"As the chief strategist of the largest corporation in City A, you can’t come up with any ideas for a woman to like me?"
Seeing Alex in such a drunken state, the talk of overtime pay earlier was probably just drunk talk. In the end, he didn’t get the overtime pay and even had to pay for the meal...
He let out a long sigh and started the car, driving towards Miller’s villa. At the Miller’s villa, Claire had just walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel when she saw Alex’s car drive into the courtyard. Although she was curious, she didn’t want to pay any attention to it.
Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Louis in the driver’s seat. She paused for a moment and subconsciously walked towards the window. She saw Louis open the passenger door and help the drunken Alex out of the car. The two stumbled towards the door. Seeing this scene, Claire’s heart tightened and she quickly opened the bedroom door and walked towards the entrance.
"Louis, what happened to him?" she asked.
Seeing Claire come over, Louis breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw her wearing a towel, he felt uneasy and quickly averted his gaze, explaining, "Miss Smith, we just went out for dinner and had Some drinks. The alcohol content was a bit high, and your husband got drunk."
Claire nodded and her gaze fell on the supported Alex. She furrowed her brows slightly.
"Miss Smith, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll leave Mr. Miller to you," Louis said, stealing a glance at Claire and following her gaze to realize what he meant. With that, he pushed Alex towards Claire and fled like he has been chased.
Claire hadn’t reacted yet when the weight on her body made her collapse. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and stabilized her steps, barely catching him. The smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of male hormones emanated from him, making her frown. She shook him with great effort and said,
"Hey, wake up, Alex I can’t hold you any longer!" Alex didn’t respond at all. He even made a gurgling sound in his mouth, like a dream or a murmur. Claire’s heart skipped a beat. Judging from his appearance, he couldn’t walk by himself. Fortunately, the butler heard the noise at the door and came in time. Together with Claire, they helped him back to the bedroom. After finally getting him to the bedside, his arm unexpectedly hugged Claire’s neck tightly. In the process, the bath towel wrapped around Claire’s body fell onto the bed sheet. With a turn, he pressed her tightly.
