Chapter 23
"Mr. King, you've been quiet all throughout, don't you have something to say?" She asked, still smiling at Alex. But she didn't get any response from him nor did he act like he heard her.
'Is he ignoring me? Did he even see me sitting here at all?!' Alex ignoring her was like a huge slap to her face. She wasn't used to being treated like the way she was right now. It was always easy for her to get men to fall for her and she thought she could do the same to Alex but he hadn't spared her a glance since. Not wanting her anger and pride to ruin her chance, she swallowed her frustration and continued putting on a smile on her face before speaking again.
"I'm curious about one thing Mr. King? Is it true that you have no girlfriend? I mean you're handsome, wealthy and powerful yet you still haven't gotten a girlfriend. What do you think about looking out for one and it just turns out that I'm also sing-"
"Miss Gale, I've seen the files are what your sister promised us. However, we will have to go through these documents thoroughly and will get back to Gale Groups." Derek who could no longer withstand hearing her questions closed the file and quickly interrupted her. 'Damn assistant!' She cursed in her mind at Derek, but put on her usual smile.
"Of course, of course, you guys can take your time reviewing the documents." She replied.
Derek nodded his head at her before bending down and gently asked Alex. "May I, Boss?"
Alex curtly nodded his head, giving him the permission to do whatever it is.
After getting a confirmation nod from Alex, he brought out a small jewelry box and slide it over the table towards the woman. "This is a gift for Miss Gale." Derek told her, referring to her older sister but it seemed like she had misunderstood Derek's words and thought that the gift was for her.
"Oh my, how can you be so generous Mr. King." She clapped her hands together before picking up the jewelry box.
"I didn't know Mr. King is this considerate-" she was cut off mid-sentence when Alex stood up from his seat after everything was done. He made his way to the entrance along with Derek.
"Ah, wait for me Mr. King! Let us leave together!" Upon seeing that Alex was already leaving, she quickly got up from her seat as well while grabbing her black fur coat and purse before rushing to follow Alex.
Just when Beatrice had painstakingly agreed to let Roseline attend the party, the VIP room door opened behind Roseline, and two charming men walked out, followed behind two other women.
A great silence fell on everyone as the four people made their presence.
Roseline paused, turned around to see what had gotten everyone's attention. Ha, turns out that there were people in the VIP room.' she thought to herself.
Thanks to her little memory from her past life she recognized one of the women straight away, Cara Gale, who she had encountered a few times at social events she always escorted Henry to.
However, when she turned to look at the two men, she felt weird. The man who was extremely dangerously handsome looked familiar to her, but she failed to recognize him.
Sophia, who was standing next to Roseline, was beaming with excitement as she'd just seen the one and only person she had been dreaming of.
"My gosh! It's Alexander King."
Alexander king? Was that who he was? Roseline tilted her head a bit, still not able to recall where she had seen him. But she knew that his name sounded familiar. Because she was mainly shut in the house and rarely socialized, Roseline had little knowledge about the society. The only time she was able to gather little information was whenever she followed Henry to important events. Her knowledge about socialites was just thirty percent out of a hundred percent. In her previous life she hadn't come across a man with the name Alexander king, only the fact that the same sounded familiar to her like she had heard it before.
But there is one thing Rose was aware of at the moment, the name with the name Alexander king is the type of person she would want
keep her distance from. She di

need to be told, just judging by that familiar dangerous aura he excluded, it was easy for her to tell that he is a big shot. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Isn't that Cara Gale? What is she doing here with the famous Alexander king?"
"Yes, I'd love to know what those two are doing here. Are they dating?"
"Isn't Alexander king rumored to be a gay, since he has never been seen with any woman?"
"Those two must obviously be on a date, there is no other explanation as to why they would be here together. And they even walked out of the VIP room."
The other customers in the jewelry shop who had also witnessed Alex and Cara walking out of the VIP room. They all began to murmur their thoughts on why the two people were walking out of the same room.
Cara, who was walking closely
behind Alex while holding the jewelry
box in her hand and was secretly enjoying every bit of the whispers she was hearing from the crowd. She quickly decided to use the situation to her advantage and had a little spice to the whisper of the
people.
"Thank you so much, Mr. King. Even though I haven't checked what is in the box yet, I'm sure I'd love it. I will make sure to keep it dear to my heart." She had a coquettish grin on her face, extremely pleased with the present she had gotten from Alex. She was known to be daring and flirty in public. She could utter words so flirtatious that they would make the crowd blush and embarrassed while she enjoyed it very much.
