Chapter 57: Living Life
Over the past two days, Alexander had sent Savannah text messages, but she never replied. He tried calling her two times, but he could not reach her. The strange thing was how Carlos could contact Savannah on one call.
She is avoiding me,’ Alexander thought, and he could tell by the way she was uncomfortable with his touch. He could see the objection in her eyes, unable to perform in a simple modeling job when, in fact, she already had experience. “I think it’s better if their noses touch. It’s more intimate. A romantic kiss would certainly be nice, too!” Following Kate’s suggestion, Savannah paled.
“Please, Savannah,” Kate pleaded. “We wanted to show photos that have real emotions.”
Kate looked at Carlos, who was seated next to her, and he confirmed, “Yes, Savannah. You are good at this, right? That’s why I hired you. Is there a problem? I thought you and Alex are good?”
“Yes,” If Savannah was displeased, she masked it quickly, erasing her earlier reaction. She replied, “I’m sorry. I was just… surprised. Haha!” she laughed, adding, “usually, it’s the clothing wears that have affectionate poses, you know.” “And we will have those when RonaldoPlus releases its own clothing apparel. So, this will be a great practice because.” Kate smiled before revealing, “Alex will be your partner for the rest of your contract.”
A smirk formed on Alexander’s face. He could not help but eye Kate for her suggestion. Somehow, the idea of working with Savannah was appealing to him.
Their photo shoot resumed with Savannah and Alexander touching noses, their hot breaths against each other’s faces. When their lips met with carrying out the kiss, Alexander felt a wave of pleasure throughout his body. The best part was how the photographer took his time, taking various angles of their peck, all while showing off the jade watch. Suddenly, Alexander was reminded of why he pursued
Savannah in the past. It made him wonder why he forgot how good it felt to touch her, to be right in front of her, and to look at her beautiful face.
When the pictorial was finally over, Alexander and Savannah were silent for the most part, their faces heated after a simple yet long peck on the lips.

“Sorry, Savannah, we still don’t risk going out in public for now,” Carlos explained while they were having dinner at his mansion.
“This is a wonderful home, and the meal was amazing,” Savannah remarked, her eyes scanning the near-empty plates on the table. “This was probably one of the best dinners I have ever had!”
“Thanks,” kate said. “My mom prepared all the food and sent it over here.”
“Wow.” Savannah complimented. “So your parents must support this relationship, which I still have to learn about!”
“Yes,” Carlos and Kate replied at the same time.
“We’ve known each other since we were kids,” kate continued.
“If you meet Kate’s parents, you would love them,” Alexander remarked.
Savannah turned to her left, where Alexander sat, She just gave a fainted smile and quickly returned her regard to Kate, saying, “Then, that explains it. Your parents must love Carlos, too.”
“Oh, they do,” Alexander answered for Kate. “They already want them to get married.”
It was Alexander’s most awkward attempt to make a conversation with Savannah, and that was because she barely spoke to him. Still, despite his efforts, Savannah gave him an awkward smile. She said nothing to him and returned to speaking to Kate.
“So, how long have you guys been together?” Savannah asked. “We’ve officially been together before the French Open finals,” Carlos revealed. He turned to Kate with admiration in his eyes, adding, “But I have loved her for as long as I can remember.”
Seeing Kate blush and Carlos’ eyes gleaming, Savannah excitedly sought, “Wow, how interesting is this? Please tell me everything.” It was Carlos who explained how Kate’s family took him in after his parents died and how he had always loved Kate. At the end of his tale, he claimed, “Then, after nine years, I came back for here… a new man. Someone that she could be proud of.” “He keeps saying that like I would not be proud of him, but I always was,” kate interrupted, sighing at the end of her words. “Maybe, but if I had not become the Devil, others would look at me differently,” Carlos told. While listening to Kate and Carlos’ love story, Savannah was teary-eyed. She said, “That was fascinating. It really is true love.” Sniffing her tears away, she expressed, “I’m happy for both of you. I’m happy you still found each other.” “Thank you, Savannah,” Kate acknowledged. “Sir, the call we have been waiting for. It’s detective Bernard of the French police.” Out of nowhere, Lemuel walked in, reporting to Carlos. Alexander and Carlos looked at each other, their face showed hints of worry. They lazily got up and left the girls to talk amongst themselves while going to the library.
