His Domineering Lover

Like it?

Aleigha rolled her eyes.

Adrian quickly took off all his clothes.

But before he touched Aleigha again, his phone buzzed.

He frowned and opted to ignore it.

"You should pick it up," Aleigha said cunningly, "It might be urgent."

Adrian hesitated for seconds and then fished out his phone from his trousers on the floor.

It was his father. Adrian's face darkened and connected the phone despite himself.

Seizing upon this momentary interruption, Aleigha bolted into the bathroom and took a quick shower.

When she came out fully dressed, Adrian was still on the phone.

But as she tried to leave the room in stealth, Adrian got to the door before she could and crushed her into his arms again.

He finished the call quickly and said to her, "If you want to get my franchise, stop flirting with other men."

"Flirting?"

Aleigha rose her voice.

"Stay away from Lennon and other playboys, or you will regret it one day," Adrian warned.

"Mr. Xiao, with whom I make friends is none of your business," she said with an edge to her voice. "You're very wrong. I always get what I want, and I want you."

"Don't play hard to get with me. It might be intriguing the first time but annoying if you keep playing it. Be amenable, will you?"

Aleigha almost laughed out. Judging from her miserable previous life, being amenable would do her no good.

She had obeyed his every order but all he had given her in return was derision and contempt.

"Sorry to say it but I'm not capable of that. Please let go of me and leave my room."

"Your family owns this hotel but I'm a guest here. You wouldn't like it if I call the security to throw you out." "Nicely said. Is this how you negotiate?"

Aleigha snorted and then crushed her knee on his balls. Adrian groaned and squatted down in pain. "D*mn you!" He cursed.

"Mr. Xiao, behave yourself when you're with me."

Aleigha turned briskly and left the room.

In the elevator, she felt her adrenaline rushing. It was so exciting.

Out of the hotel, to her surprise, she saw Lennon waving at her by his car from a distance.

She stopped in her tracks and then walked to him.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Lennon nodded. "You said yesterday

company will do."

"You can do anything in the name of my company as long as you don't break the law." Aleigha pondered for a while and asked, "Why are you helping me? We've just met a few times."

She was skeptical now after what she had gone through in her previous life.

"It's not a big deal and you helped me too. I get you involved and in that sense I kinda owe you."

Aleigha was really in need of help and deemed Lennon trustworthy.

She nodded.

"But you should keep my existence and what am going to do in secret. Can you do that?" "Get in the car. We can talk about it on the way" Lennon drove toward the office building he had found beforehand.

On the way, Aleigha honestly told him why she was here.

But she didn't tell him about her resurrection. No one would believe it.

They met the building owner at around five o'clock and signed the contract that specified rent and tenure.

Aleigha felt she was one step closer to her dream.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Let's go have dinner," Lennon said.

Only then did Aleigha realize that she

"Let's go. It's my treat," she said in a

good mood.

They came to a famous restaurant where people from the upper class gathered.

Aleigha was still in the dress Lennon had bought for her in the studio and it was full of crinkles now.

But neither Lennon nor Aleigha paid much attention to it.

They entered the restaurant and settled themselves by a table in the corner. "Look, isn't she that bi*tch? She's got tired of Adrian and found another man."

A sour voice sounded and Aleigha recognized it belonged to Kendal immediately. She looked up and saw Kendal and Emilia, both of whom had sarcasm on their faces. "Mind your language," Emilia reminded, "Even the untouchable need to be respected."

Emilia was always implying something in her words and her acid tone drew the attention of people around. Lennon looked back, scrutinizing the two women with interest, and then gaveAleigha a knowing smile. Aleigha shrugged her shoulders helplessly. "This is Emilia I told you about, and that is Kendal."
