Chapter 348: Run Away
Alexander nervously gulped, his mind racing. Did she already find out about the mess Carla had caused? Rain looked so sad and disheartened that he found himself at a loss for words, unsure how to approach her.
"I’m sorry about what happened today," he finally muttered, his voice low. "I’ll make sure to contain and clean it all up. I understand if you’re mad... I’ll sleep in the other room tonight."
He turned to leave, but her sudden question made him pause.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
Alexander stopped and turned back to her, studying her expression. She motioned for him to sit beside her. "Come here. What do you mean?"
He hesitated before sitting on the edge of the bed. "You seemed upset. I thought it was because of the incident with Carla," he explained. "The contract we had before got leaked, and now the employees are gossiping about it. I was planning to tell you."
Rain’s eyebrows raised slightly in surprise. "Oh. I didn’t know about that yet, but I’m glad you told me. So, what’s your plan to handle it?" she asked, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
Alexander hesitated before answering her question, his gaze locked on hers. "Wait," he said softly, tilting his head. "If it’s not about Carla, then why did you look so upset earlier? You looked like something heavy was on your mind."
Rain sighed deeply, her eyes dropping to her hands. He could sense her hesitation, the internal struggle playing out in her mind.
