His Domineering Lover

As soon as she saw Aleigha, Brenda recognized her. She twisted her slender waist, walking forward, ready to give her the warmest welcome.

"Brenda? Let's find a quiet place and I'll talk to you."

Aleigha's face was cold, and her tone was very stiff.

Brenda felt puzzled. "Who's got this little bird's feathers all ruffled? Jeez, I don't wanna have to deal with a barrel of gunpowder on the first day I open up."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"It is quiet enough here and we can talk if you want to." Brenda faked a professional smile and said perfunctorily.

Aleigha raised her eyebrows and glared at her. However, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Do you want me to talk about the murder here?" "Murder? What murder?" Brenda's eyes widened as he stared straight at Aleigha.

She knew nothing.

Seeing her like this, Aleigha knew what to do. "Just take me to a quiet place. I have something to ask you and I'm hoping to get some answers, satisfactory ones."

Brenda's faint-heartedness ever since childhood had made it impossible for her to even fantasize about committing a murder. Hearing Aleigha's words, she knew what she wanted. Looking around, the waiters were all busy. Only then did she get up and take Aleigha to the lounge in the back.

"Now, Miss Gardner, tell me what you came to tell me." Brenda clearly didn't have the first clue about what the murder was about.

But she did know that there was a certain report in the news not long ago.

"I will go straight to the point. My godmother had a car accident after she came out of your club."

"There was something wrong with her car's brake system. I have a surveillance video in my hand."

"Since the last place she visited is here, you know what to do, right?"

Brenda rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

"I might be in charge of this place but I am also working on a salary here."

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll have to solve this in another way. But do mark my words, remember to look over your shoulders."

The smile kept straying on Aleigha's lips. She got up and walked out. However, before she could take a few steps, Brenda held her back.

"I need you to protect me if I work with you."

Brenda was a smart person, despite her dumb appearance. She knew how to protect herself from this. Therefore, she had always tried to play dumb with Mrs. Hammond so as to make sure she would stay safe.

"Rest assured. As long as you have nothing to do with my godmother's death, I will protect you."

Brenda smiled happily and returned to her previous foolish appearance, "I'll need one day."

"And after that, I'll give you the perfect answer. By the way, I'll fetch you a present."

"But you do realize it comes with a price, right?"

"Give me your account number. I hope this present won't disappoint me."

Walking out of the club, it was close to lunchtime. Aleigha looked at the time and went to Adrian's company in high spirits.

Without Aubrie waltzing in the company, the air in the company seemed even sweeter.

Adrian was reading a new contract when Aleigha pushed the door open and went in, causing his

brows to knit.

"Mr. Xiao, would you like to have lunch together?"

His slightly twisted eyebrows instantly loosened when he heard the sweet sound like a silver bell.

A smile formed on the corners of his mouth. "Are you buying, little Aleigha?"

"Shouldn't you be ashamed that you, the emperor of a business empire, are asking me, a mere college student, to buy you lunch?"

Aleigha trotted to his side, put her arms around his neck, and sat in his arms. She was not shy at all.

Adrian couldn't help but feel his body heating up when he saw how cute he was. This lass was like a walking temptation to him.

"If you move again, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today."

Aleigha was stunned and looked at him blankly, only to find that he slightly narrowed his eyes with a hint of a smirk.

"Will you drop it for at least a day?"

Adrian pinched her waist in annoyance after hearing what she said. "Drop it? Well, I do intend to do that."

"But how am I, a man, supposed to

drop it when a creature like you is twisting and turning in my arms?" "My back's pretty much against the wall now."

"What do you say we do a little 'business' before I take you out to eat?"

Aleigha shivered slightly and got up to run. She knew exactly what business could mean.

"Run? Little thing, you think you can run away from me? You practically jumped into the trap yourself."

Aleigha cried out in pain, but she was already carried on Adrian's shoulders and headed straight for the bedroom in the back.

"What the f*ck? Why would there be a bedroom in his office?"

Fortunately, this time it didn't take too long before they both got famished.

Adrian had always been a well-mannered person. Naturally, he would have very high standards for his food as well.

Since they were going out to eat, it would have to be the best restaurant in the city.

The two of them went to a Turkey restaurant, which was highly praised by Adrian.

Naturally, it would cost a lot.

After arriving, there were only two or three customers in the restaurant. Adrian elegantly flipped through the menu. Aleigha was playing with her phone out of boredom.

"What a coincidence, fellas!"

Hearing this voice, Aleigha was quite a bit shocked and looked up to where the voice came from.

Aubrie was looking at her with a smile and she had no intentions to conceal the viciousness in her eyes.

"Indeed, especially so when I think how I can never get away from the buzzing, disgusting flies."

Aleigha shot out her sharp sarcasm.

"If there are no flies, the world will be covered by the rotten corpses. You wouldn't mind me sitting here, would you?" "How cheeky she is!"

"I do mind. I don't want anyone to disturb us while we're eating." Adrian closed the menu and rejected her very impolitely.

Aubrie was almost immune to Adrian's such words since she had had it too many times.

Aubrie

and seem to have heard it

and laughed to herself. The way she looked at Adrian was as if she was trying to get him to join a cult.

Aleigha felt that if it weren't for Adrian's obsession with cleanliness, this woman would have flung herself at him long ago.

"Adrian, I can help you get the Italian contract. William is my old friend."

Aubrie knew that Adrian was a man who was very devoted to his career, so she used it to get to him, which was a stun she had pulled quite a few times before.

"I don't want to repeat what I just said. Don't try to provoke me."

"I don't care who or what you mean to Alexzander. There are more ways than you can imagine that I can make your life a living hell."

And that was actually a fact Aleigha had always known. Adrian could make Aubrie pay a miserable price as soon as he decided to do so.
