Chapter 523 Zayn Becomes Alexandra’s Fake Boyfriend
In her state of helplessness, Alexandra immediately thought of calling Zayn in hopes that he would be able to help her escape by pretending to be her boyfriend.
However, it was a pity that Zayn ended up telling her that he was on the west side of the city and would need almost an hour to get to the Washington Hotel by car. As a result, Alexandra felt extremely dejected at the time.
In the end, when she had just lost all hope, Zayn suddenly appeared in front of her!
At that moment, Alexandra was completely dumbfounded and even thought that she was hallucinating.
Then, when she regained her senses and realized that Zayn had turned around to walk away, she knew that he was obviously avoiding her. Sadness overwhelmed her as her nose suddenly became sour from the intense aggrieved emotion welling up within her. She actually could not stop herself from crying as she shouted, “Stop right there, Zayn!”
Alexandra shouted very loudly, sounding extremely piercing and abrupt in such a dignified environment. She instantly attracted the gazes of everyone surrounding her. This was especially true for the young men and women together with her. They were all shocked and gaped at her with a dumbfounded expression.
When Zayn heard Alexandra’s shouts, he silently cursed in his heart and put a wry smile on his face as he had no choice but to stop in his tracks.
‘I’ve been too careless this time. I clearly knew that she’s here in this hotel as well, yet I actually dared to walk out so boldly. Look what I’ve done. I’ve actually ended up bumping into her now. I’ve literally shot myself in the foot, sigh!’
On the other hand, Alexandra did not think too much of the situation and paced towards Zayn’s direction. She was walking so fast that her high heels clacked loud and crisp as they tapped across the floor.
Zayn had no choice but to turn his head, and he revealed a wry smile on his face as he looked at Alexandra, who was now standing in front of him with an extremely aggrieved and furious expression on her face. Then, he raised his hand to wave at her and called out, “Hi, Ms. Smith, what a coincidence! Bet you didn’t think I was here now, did you? Hahaha.”
Instead of laughing at his cold joke, Alexandra glared with her eyes wide open as she stared directly at Zayn. Her beautiful eyes had turned completely red and were filled with hurt and anger that anyone who looked at them would think that Zayn was a playboy who had wronged her, thus explaining the expression on her face.
In truth, it was Zayn who was being wrongfully accused because he and Alexandra were nothing more than just friends, plus Zayn had never done anything to take advantage of Alexandra before.
As Alexandra stared at him without saying anything, Zayn felt a chill rise within him as he coughed and said, “Ms. Smith, I was just joking with you just now. I was actually having dinner here at the Washington Hotel as well. I was just about to come and meet you.”
However, Alexandra still remained silent as she looked at him as though she was looking at a playboy, thus it was even more impossible for others not to misunderstand the situation.
At that moment, the few young men and women who were together with Alexandra walked over. They consisted of three women and four men. Among them, there was a man who was handsomely dressed in luxury clothing and was bathed in cologne. He seemed to be in his 30s and was staring at Zayn with an extremely hostile look.
Alexandra took a deep breath and said to Zayn, “Why did you lie to me when you were obviously here? Am I really that hateful to you?”
In fact, Zayn actually wanted to tell her that she was, but when he saw how miserable she looked with her reddened eyes, he knew that Alexandra would definitely cry out instantly if he actually said that. When that happened, it would be even more difficult for him to escape the situation.
Hence, he helplessly let out a sigh in his heart. ‘Why am I so unlucky today? I was merely just having dinner with the subordinates from my new agency, yet I even had the chance to bump into Alexandra coincidentally.
‘Is it possible that I’m simply that great at attracting women? But I’ve obviously hidden quite well though…’
“What are you talking about? Why would I hate you all of a sudden? You mustn’t have such random thoughts. I truly just so happen to be here for a business meeting and didn’t have time to come over and meet you. That’s why I had no choice but to tell you that white lie. Ms. Smith, you’re an understanding person, so you wouldn’t blame me for this now, would you?” said Zayn slightly guiltily.
Alexandra stared at him and let out a heavy sigh. Then, with her gaze, she seemed to tell Zayn that she would deal with him later before she walked over and fiercely wrapped her arm around his. After that, she even kissed him on the cheek and then said to the man opposite her, “Brock, didn’t you ask me just now if I have a boyfriend? Here he is. His name is Zayn.”
