You are a bad man
"It's nothing," Alexander buttoned his T-shirt, a subtle smile spreading on his lips when he remembered how he got this mark on his chest.
"It doesn't look like nothing. That rare smile on your face says otherwise," Benjamin mused.
"Has my boy finally grown up and gotten a woman?" Benjamin asked, taking another sip from his wine glass.
The Secretary looked at the mark closely, tapping his index finger on his chin thoughtfully.
"This mark wasn't here yesterday evening. Did you get this mark in the club you went to drink with your friends? But I was right outside the door, and I am sure no woman entered the private room. Then how the hell did you - " The secretary paused when Alexander glared at him, and Benjamin looked at his young brother from under his lashes.
Meanwhile, inside Alexander's room, Evangeline looked around with a smirk on her face.
She was planning to enter this main house sooner or later, but she had never thought it would be this quick. She quickly wiped herself with a wet towel and changed her top with the fresh T-shirt that Alexander kept on the bed with her.
There was no way she was undressing completely in her enemy's home. She scoffed.
Stupid guy. If it had been anyone else, he would've made her change and wash in the guest room, but this guy was trusting her so much that he allowed her to enter his bedroom directly.
Evangeline looked around after changing and pulled out the mini mic from her purse.
She was going to meet that goon and was hoping to put this mic in his hospital room to hear every call he would make. She was hoping to get some clue on where the other goons were, or if they still were doing the dirty work for Brandon and Bellatrix.
However, now that she has found her way into Alexander's room, she isn't going to let go of this opportunity.
Now she only needs to put this mic in a place that he will never look at easily.
It can't be under the bed or behind the headboard for sure. That's the basic place anyone looks for.
Evangeline looked around, her brows knitting as she needed to find a suitable place soon. She walked to the balcony door before smirking when she found the perfect place.
She slid the desk into the corner outside before putting the mic on the corner of it and gently pushing it back towards the wall so that no one will ever be able to see the table until they move the table out of there.
Once she was done with her work, she bit her lips and contemplated if putting on a mini camera would be a bit too much of invading privacy.
No. She shouldn't be taking such big risks on her first time here. Evangeline bit her lips before she looked at the bed and gulped.
But there won't be any harm in treating her eyes with some hot stuff while she is at her revenge, no? No one said that revenge should be boring and full of pain only.
Besides, he is the one who is interested in getting to know more about her. The least he can do is show his sexy and alluring body to her as compensation for what he or his brothers did to her, no?
Evangeline smiled before she took out the mini camera from her purse and placed it in the most obvious place.
She placed it right above the setup box of the Television, smirking delightfully.
Satisfied with her work, she walked out of the room, her gaze moving to Benjamin who was sipping a drink before it moved to Alexander who was lying on the couch casually.
"For someone who got chased by the goons just half an hour ago, you are quite relaxed," She commented.
Alexander looked at her, his gaze taking her body up and down, liking the way his t-shirt reached her mid-thighs, although he hated that she was still wearing her jeans. He would've preferred her without it, but then again with so many men around the room, it was better she was wearing jeans.
"So, you have still not said anything about what I am doing here," Evangeline looked at her watch, and Alexander sat on the couch, patting the space in front of her.
Evangeline rolled her eyes and stepped forward, making Benjamin look at the girl interestingly.
"So, Miss Evangeline, I heard you want to become an actress and are studying for the same. We will be auditioning a few girls soon for the next trainees in the company. I think you should apply. I will put in some good words for you," Benjamin said, and Alexander's eyes became cold as he looked at his brother who was clearly trying to see if he would become jealous while Evangeline stopped in her spot.
Well, he wasn't wrong. He was hating the fact that Benjamin had something to talk about with Evangeline while he have to find ways to keep her here.
"Thank you," Evangeline said, and Alexander's fist clenched around the back of the sofa.
"But I am not interested," She said, her voice resolute.
"Why? It's a good opportunity for you," Alexander wanted to know the reason why she has been denying and acting coldly with Benjamin from the moment he came. It was as if she had some personal feud with him.
"I know this entire industry is based on connections, but I don't want to get a role just because someone put a good word for me. I want to get a role because I deserved it. Also, I don't want to be a part of your company. Mr. Alexander already suspects that I am trying to seduce Justin because I am in the same class as her. As good as this opportunity is, I am a woman of dignity," Evangeline looked at Alexander.
"I cannot change my college now and spoil my life, but I can surely choose to not enter another thing where a Cane is present or a Cane owns. That's why, to save Mr. Alexander some trouble, I would like to withdraw from your offer respectfully," Evangeline quickly covered, and Alexander narrowed his eyes.
"Do you think I am a bad man?" Alexander asked, and Evangeline turned to him with a smile.
"No," she said, but before Alexander could ask her 'if not then why the hell was she taking such decisions', she spoke again.
"I don't think that. I just know you are a bad man," Evangeline said with a straight face.
"Pfft... hahaha," Benjamin spat the wine as he laughed at the girl's reply, and Alexander glared at Benjamin.
"You just wasted $4000 worth of wine. Get out of there. You are not allowed to step in my cellar," Alexander growled, and Benjamin chuckled before grabbing a random expensive bottle and walking to them.
"I just wanted to check on you. Now that I know you are fine, I need to leave. Also, my offer will be open for you, Miss Evangeline," Benjamin raised his bottle at her in a fake toast before he walked out of the hall.
Evangeline followed the silhouette of the man walking out who could be one of the culprits of that night before clenching her fists.
She was about to ask Alexander about what he wanted when he held her hand and pulled her down with so much force that she fell forward.
To prevent hurting his bullet wound, Evangeline raised her hand in the air, falling straight at his chest, her lips touching his neck while his lips touched her forehead.
For a moment she couldn't comprehend what happened. All she could feel was his lips on her forehead, his hand on her back, and her fast-beating heart.
What the hell was this suggestive positive? She widened her eyes and placed her hand on the side of the sofa to stand when Alexander placed his hand there at the same time.
Feeling a spark of shiver run down her spine, she jerked her hand away so fast that she slipped back into his chest, and Alexander smirked at the flustered girl in his arms.
Well, what can he say? She called him a bad man first. Now he shall be bad, no? He looked at his secretary who was watching everything with mouth agape.
As soon as his gaze met his boss, he gulped before running out as if his pants were on fire.
