Chapter 718: Something On Your Mind?
Alexander and Leila should have never met. Leila wouldn’t have been so thrilled otherwise.
Then how did Leila offend Alexander?
“… She called you too many times,” he whispered.
Heather was speechless. Was Alexander actually jealous of Leila?
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. At last, she said under her breath, “But she’s a girl!”
“So what?” he asked disapprovingly.
Heather: “…”
Alright, her boyfriend turned out to be the green-eyed monster. It looked like he was even jealous of girls who were close to her.
She looked sympathetically at Leila. It was clear that Leila had also come to her senses.
She wore an expression full of resentment, but she dared not back out.
Soon, the waiters brought all the dishes. Leila began to eat the king crabs as if she went to her death like a hero.
Knowing that this Master Alexander didn’t like a good-natured fellow, Lana and Leila spoke softly.
In the end, Leila ate only six king crabs. Finally, seeing that she could not bear it, Heather forced her to stop eating.
It was Heather who asked her to stop, so Alexander didn’t say anything..Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“I’m going to the bathroom,” he whispered.
Heather nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”
After he got up and left, Leila instantly screamed, “Heather, what have I done wrongly? Why does Master Alexander treat me like that!”
“Er… Maybe you called me too many times, so he’s jealous,” Heather answered with some embarrassment on her face.
“I’m wounded!” Leila rubbed her stomach, aggrieved.
“Well, how do you think I can make it up to you?” Heather looked at her sympathetically.
“I want to take the remaining four king crabs back to the dorm in a doggie bag!” said Leila.
“Haven’t you had enough?” Heather didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“They are king crabs! I don’t usually afford them!” Leila’s eyes lit up as she said, “Master Alexander played a joke on me, but I don’t suffer!”
Heather waved her hand helplessly. “Okay.”
“But Heather,” said Leila, smiling at her, “I
didn’t expect your boyfriend to be really Master Alexander! How did you meet?”
Looking at the gossipy Leila, Heather instantly felt embarrassed.
She couldn’t tell the two girls that she had been drunk and she had slept with Alexander, so Alexander asked her to be responsible for him, could she?
“Leila, you can’t ask her,” Lana said like a fangirl. “It’s their little secret. How can she tell you? Heather, Master Alexander is really kind to you, giving you a nice car and a black card…”
“Wait.” Hearing her words, Heather felt there was something wrong and said with resignation. “Do you think… they were from Alexander?”
“You don’t need to be ashamed of it,” said Leila, her eyes sparkling. “Heather, his willingness to give these things to you shows that he really cares about you. Isn’t it normal for a boyfriend to give his girlfriend presents?”
In a flash, Heather was speechless. “… So you don’t believe I’m the Denmark family’s lady?”
“We’ve never believed that, okay?” Lana waved her hand and said, “Besides, it doesn’t matter whether you’re the Denmark family’s lady or not. We won’t stop making friends with you because you’re not her.”
Heather couldn’t help but laugh. It was she who had been stubborn.
Whether she was the Denmark family’s lady didn’t affect the fact that they were good friends, so there was no need for her to prove her identity.
“Okay, whatever you say is fine,” said Heather with a faint smile, “but I have to explain. The car and card are mine. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.”
They asked, apparently choosing not to believe.
“Master Alexander is really much better than Malcolm Carter!” Leila spoke with indignation. “He was so good at pretending, and he ran after you so persistently that I thought he was a nice guy!”
“I also didn’t expect him to stoop so low as to do something like that,” said Heather. “Has he been upset recently?”
Malcolm Carter used to be self-righteous, but he wasn’t so twisted.
“I think it is because of Helen,” Lana gossiped, “I heard that she seems to have asked her father to withhold Malcolm Carter’s diploma.”
Heather understood suddenly. “I see.” “You’re actually in the mood to worry about other people,” said Leila worriedly. “You might as well worry about yourself. I’m sure Helen has a grudge against you in the heart!”
“What can she do even if she has a grudge? Heather has Master Alexander behind her, so she doesn’t need to be afraid of her?” Lana said with disdain.
“You’re right, but what if she plays tricks?” Leila asked.
Heather said, “Very likely.” There was a long feud between Helen with her, and Helen had often played tricks before.
“Do you think she’ll screw things up at the school fashion show?” Lana’s face changed slightly.
Heather mused and said, “She shouldn’t have a chance to play tricks at the fashion show. After all, the judges will be some bigwigs in the fashion world who are upright and outspoken. Helen won’t be likely able to bribe them all through her father’s connections.”
Leila and Lana nodded. They helped Heather think carefully, but they couldn’t be sure what Helen would do. “Forget it. Heather, who will be your model?” Lana asked curiously.
“I invited Olive,” Heather said. “She’s just a student, but she’s excellent. She’s eligible to sign a contract with Joshua-Hazel Pictures. After she signs, she will have a better future.”
“… Come on,” Leila and Lana helplessly looked at her as Leila said, “Heather, would you please stop speaking with a relieved expression? You look like your family owns the famous Joshua-Hazel Pictures!”
Joshua-Hazel Pictures really belonged to her family, and it was a token of her parents’ affection. But Heather knew her classmates wouldn’t believe her even if she told them the truth, so she just smiled and said nothing more.
Soon, Alexander returned. Leila and Lana instantly became fanatical and reserved again.
Heather was very helpless. These two girls were hopeless cases!
After the meal, several people parted at the gate. Because the driver had sent Alexander, he went straight to Heather’s car.
As Alexander drove off with Heather, Leila and Lana gave Heather a meaningful look.
Heather was well aware that they had misunderstood again, but she didn’t want to explain because even if she did, they wouldn’t believe her.
“Something on your mind?” On the way back, Alexander suddenly asked.
“Huh? Yes.” Heather frowned slightly and then told him that Leila and Lana had suspected that Helen would play tricks at the fashion show.
