Chapter 2356 In the days that followed, Alexis put Leonel out of her mind, focusing on her own life.


    Their paths crossed again at a banquet.


    It was only when she was leaving that she noticed Leonel. Dressed in a dark floral formal suit, he stood out with his height and style, surrounded by a bevy of admiring women.


    Alexis didn''t engage in the lively scene. She observed quietly for a moment before deciding to leave early.


    Ross, her driver, was waiting downstairs. As she approached, he promptly opened the car door for her.


    She slid into the car, ready to leave.


    Just as Ross was about to close the door, a firm hand stopped him.


    Alexis looked up to find Leonel standing there.


    Ross, caught in an awkward situation, asked, “Mr. Dous, didn’t you drive here?” Leonel, his voice low and steady, responded, “I could use a lift." Ross nced at Alexis, waiting for her cue.


    Understanding that Leonel was persistently seeking her attention, Alexis leaned back in the seat and said softly, “Let him in."

    Alexis’ choice of perfume seemed to entuate the romantic undertones, given the close proximity of a man and woman in the back seat.


    Resting her hand against the car window, she asked in a light tone, “What do you want?” Leonel questioned her directly, “Why didn''t you answer my calls?” Alexis couldn''t help butugh at the absurdity.


    “What''s this, Leonel? Am I obligated to answer every call you make? Leonel’s reply was deliberate, each word emphasized.


    “Considering what happened between us that night, considering we fucked three times — —” At the front, Ross’posure faltered. His face flushed with embarrassment.


    The conversation was bing too-too indiscreet for him.
