Chapter 240: The Birthday Girl
Rain smiled widely as she spotted Alexander leaning casually against the car, waiting for her. He immediately stepped forward to help with her paper bags, his eyes narrowing briefly at the chocolate bouquet she held in her other hand.
She half-expected him to ask about it, but he didn’t. Once they were settled inside the car, Rain couldn’t resist anymore. She pulled a chocolate from the bouquet, unwrapped it, and took a bite. She’d been craving these pistachio chocolates, the expensive kind Henry had given her as she left the office.
"Want some?" she asked, offering it to Alexander.
"Who gave you that bouquet?" he finally asked, eyeing it.
"Oh, it’s from Henry," she replied casually, savoring the chocolate. Instantly his face darkened. She knew he was being a little possessive, but his reaction amused her.
Alexander immediately grabbed the bouquet and placed it in the back seat, muttering, "I’ll get you something better than that."
Rain grinned, pouting as she murmured, "Don’t be so petty. Henry’s just a colleague, and besides, these chocolates are my favorite..."
"But they’re not healthy," he replied, frowning.
"I know... It’s not like I’m going to eat them all at once!" Rain teased, pulling the chocolate just out of his reach as he tried to snatch it.
