Chapter 257 The Same as Alexa

"Alright."

Sadie obediently agreed and stood by Terrence like her wife. It was so unbearable.

Alexa coldly looked down, completely ignoring them.

After saying that, Terrence didn't stop. He even continued to show concern about Sadie.

"It's your first day here today. Are you used to it?"

"Yes, I'm."

"That's good."

Terrence smiled with satisfaction, his warm gaze landing on Alexa.

But Alexa had her back to them and did not express any opinion.

After Sadie left, Terrence did not explain anything. He just continued to talk about business matters with Alexa.

Alexa's face was cold, and she constantly pulled out wet tissues to wipe her neck. The area around the mark was now red and swollen from Alexa's wipe.

"Don't wipe it. It can't be wiped away." Terrence spoke rationally as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Alexa glared at Terrence and said in disgust.

"Terrence, you are so disgusting."

"I have kissed you before. Or are you afraid that Mr. Powell will see the mark?" Terrence said unhurriedly.

"It's fine if Mr. Powell sees it." Alexa put on a fake smile and said,

"But if your lovers see it, it will be a big deal."

Terrence was slightly stunned and then could not help but smile.

"Alexa, are you jealous?"

"Jealous? What am I jealous of?"

"Then what do you mean by mentioning lovers?"

Terrence was sure he would win, just like a victor who had returned from a rewarding journey.

However, Alexa looked up slightly and coldly parted her red lips.

"Mr. Powell will never make me jealous."

"You keep mentioning Mr. Powell. You do like him."

Terrence's smile gradually turned cold, and his eyes seemed to be heavy with coldness.

"Of course, I like him."

After that, Alexa pushed a contract toward Terrence.

"If there is no problem, Mr. Ramsey, you can sign it."

"Your company is not sincere enough. I have to think about it again."

"Well."

Alexa took back the contract indifferently and had no intention of begging Terrence.

Terrence's expression was flawless, but his face slightly twisted in annoyance.

He wondered, she is so straightforward that she doesn't even try to persuade me to stay. No one does business like this.

"Alexa, you have to know that with just a word from me, the Powell Group will go bankrupt."

"Oh. So what?"

Alexa asked nonchalantly with a mocking expression on her face.

"I only need one word to easily protect the Powell Group."

"Are you sure you want to turn against me for Kieran?"

"Mr. Ramsey, if you don't know your place, he can try to activate the GPS." Alexa unhurriedly got up and walked out. "My time is precious. I don't have the time to play with you."

Terrence was so angry with Alexa that he did not chase after her for the first time.

The moment Alexa pushed the door open, she saw Sadie at the door.

Sadie smiled sweetly and said boldly.

"Mr. Ramsey is angry. Just coax him now."

"Ms. Duran..."

Sadie was about to explain when Alexa waved her hand, indicating that Sadie did not need to say anything more.

Sadie had to go in to check on Terrence.

"I am sorry, Mr. Ramsey. Because of me, Ms. Duran misunderstands you."

Terrence did not comment. He tugged at his bow tie in frustration.

"Go to the banquet tonight with me."

"Alright."

Sadie did not know what was going on with Terrence and Alexa, so she could only vaguely agree.

It just so happened that the Powell family held the charity banquet tonight, for Bart was officially discharged from the hospital. Terrence was not interested in these things, but he knew that Alexa would go. At the thought that Alexa would appear with Kieran magnificently, Terrence felt so depressed.

Terrence picked Sadie's dress.

When Alexa came to the party with Terrence for the first time, she was also wearing this dress.

Even Sadie's makeup and jewelry were the same as Alexa's at that time. When Sadie put on makeup, Terrence stood behind her and watched her.

Sadie looked like Alexa, but she lacked the hateful stubbornness and coldness of Alexa.

Realizing that he thought of Alexa again, Terrence drank more than half a glass of iced Americano with a calm face, and the strong bitterness made him slightly divert his attention.

"Does it look good?" Sadie asked gingerly.

"Yes," Terrence replied with rare gentleness.

The designer, Eaton, paused. He had long discovered something.

Coincidentally, Eaton was Alexa's stylist back then.

What was the situation now?

Terrence's gaze landed on Sadie's face as if he were looking at his lover.

Although Sadie had told herself that all of this was fake, she could not help but fall for it.

This was Terrence!

Almost all women would be attracted to him.

Eaton did not dare to be sluggish and quickly finished Sadie's makeup.

Sadie lifted her skirt and stood up, naturally, holding onto Terrence's arm.

"I'm ready."

Sadie turned to look at Terrence, her gaze exposing her feelings.

Terrence hid his emotions very well.

"Let's go."

The five-star hotel that held the banquet was lively now, but the ones responsible for receiving the guests were Clara and Alexa.

"Alexa, Terrence's car arrives. In case something happens, why don't you go and hide?" Clara said methodically.

After what happened today, Alexa did not want to see Terrence now... and his girlfriend.

Alexa did not hesitate and went directly to the bathroom.

However, in the blink of an eye, someone gripped her wrist.

"You..."

Before Alexa finished, she was brought to a secluded corridor.

The man was wearing a customized Italian suit. It was not until the moment he turned around that Alexa recognized him.

"Brenton?"

It had only been a short while since they last met, but Brenton was so haggard that he looked like a different person.

"Alexa."

Brenton forced out a bitter smile as if he was about to cry.

"What's the matter?" Alexa asked in a business-like manner.

"Alexa, I knew you would come today."

Alexa had long been immune to these hypocritical words and gazed at Brenton's eyes with a straight face.

"What exactly do you want?"

"Actually, I have been wanting to replace an opportunity to apologize to you about what happened that day."

"Oh. I almost forget if you didn't mention it. No need to thank me. It was just a hand lift." Alexa withdrew her hand and took a few steps back.

"I misunderstood you that day. You are not that kind of person," Brenton said sincerely.

"What kind of person?"

"I mean... um... you are a kind person."

Hearing this, Alexa could not help but smile.

"Brenton, what you said is quite funny." "Athena's pregnancy is completely out of my expectations. I was drunk, so..."

Alexa's eyes were cold. "Brenton, there is no point in shirking responsibilities."
