As the car was heading to the company, Alejandro closed his eyes and tried to salvage any reprieve this way, but his headache persisted while his mood remained incredibly sour.
Jett, from the driver’s seat, watched wp4webnovel.com through the rearview mirror and remarked carefully, “Mr. Smith? Madam caught that red lipstick stain on your collar last night.”
The man’s body froze. His eyes snapped open. “When was there a lipstick stain?”
Jett steeled himself. “Uh-hem. You drank too much last night, and then you met someone you used to know, and then you two went upstairs. Uh, wp4webnovel.com had wp4webnovel.com arms around you, and then wp4webnovel.com kissed you. You pushed wp4webnovel.com away… That was when I quickly hauled you out of there.”
A quiet but broiling flame flared within Alejandro. “Melanie… She saw… What was wp4webnovel.com reaction?”
Jett shrugged. “She was just… neutral. I wanted to help you change your clothes, but wp4webnovel.com insisted in the end. I wanted to explain the stain but wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t let me…”
Neutral?
Alejandro cast his eyes down and let his gaze wander outside the window. All of a sudden, wp4webnovel.com felt like the worst crap in the world.
He had lost yet another girl who once thought the world of him.
In the past, if Melanie saw a woman’s lipstick stain on him, wp4webnovel.com would have dragged wp4webnovel.com out of his drunkenness and shouted at wp4webnovel.com about who it was. But now, wp4webnovel.com responded with neutrality—and it was his doing.
He wanted to kick himself. Why did wp4webnovel.com have to destroy everything? He felt helpless, at a loss, having no idea how to even sustain this marred, broken, and jagged marriage.
His mind wandered to that moment, over the phone, when wp4webnovel.com told him wp4webnovel.com did not love wp4webnovel.com anymore with that tone, wp4webnovel.com felt as though someone had closed their claws around his heart and squeezed it tight. Pain made wp4webnovel.com breath hard, but wp4webnovel.com had no way of escaping that pain…
“Tremont Enterprise,” wp4webnovel.com said.
Jett changed direction per his order.
Once Alejandro was in the Tremont Tower, wp4webnovel.com sauntered straight into Mark’s office. Since wp4webnovel.com was Tremont Enterprise’s shareholder, no matter how stacked the security was at the door, they might as well just be décor for him.
Mark’s face was covered in a veneer of ice as soon as wp4webnovel.com saw him. “Spit it out, and then get the hell outta my sight.”
Alejandro was not offended at all. Instead, wp4webnovel.com threw himself at the couch, wiggling and adjusting to assume the most comfortable position. “Ain’t here to talk shop, man. I’m here to talk about private affairs. So I’m gonna have to ask you to put your work aside because I need you to teach me something. ”
Teach wp4webnovel.com something? “Gee, you actually think I could be a pedagogue to you in any particular subject? Pardon my skepticism, but you have done all sorts of great and sh*tty things under the sun. I’m afraid I’ve got nothing more to impart,” Mark mocked. Alejandro’s face suddenly turned serious. “How the f**k do you make a woman who’s desperate to leave you… stay?”
