Chapter 138: Chubby and Enigma
While they were on the road, Rain turned to Alexander and asked, "How’s work?" He took a deep breath and murmured, "Different than before. I’m having a hard time focusing..."
"Why?" she asked, studying his side profile. Alexander gave her a quick glance before putting his eyes back on the road, his frown deepening.
"Why? It’s because of you and how you’re always in trouble," he pointed out. Rain didn’t comment on that, but she smiled, secretly liking the fact that she was on his mind.
"Why not change your line of work and become my personal bodyguard instead?" she joked, grinning.
"Don’t be surprised if one day that actually happens," Alexander replied, his tone serious. Rain blinked, staring at him. Was he really serious?
"Anyway, can we stop by my apartment?" she asked, quickly shifting the topic. She didn’t want to push Alexander’s buttons. He was so unpredictable, she might end up more surprised by what he’d do next.
"Alright," he answered, and Rain immediately called Clifford.
"Yes, bring the comic books from the second shelf. We’ll be at the café in ten minutes," she instructed him.
"Rain, why don’t you just come here and get them yourself? Sanya’s not around," Clifford suggested.
