Chapter 5 PLAYFUL
CHAPTER 5: PLAYFUL
Alexander sat far from the corner, with his cigarette between his fingertips. At the same time, his eyebrows are hidden with darkness, and he doesn’t have any emotions on his face while looking at Georgina beside Evan.
He should disagree with this kind of setup, and he felt annoyed all of a sudden. This is not him, and he shouldn’t feel this way. He should be ruthless and ignore that woman, but he can’t for the reason that she will be a good investor in his company.
They’re also with their colleagues and friends who understand them. They knew about how he treated Georgina. It’s not new to everyone. He is sure that it’s all just a plaything—a playful act.
But no matter what, Georgina is still the woman he slept with. Some of Alexander’s couple was secretly having a bet last time but couldn’t guess his mind for a while now.
Some of his friends came to him and sat opposite him. Alexander remained silent, but Vinci spoke.
“Why are you staring at Georgina like that? Are you sure Evan wasn’t hitting on her?” he asked curiously.
“She was just playful, but Evan is not her type,” he replied annoyingly.
Vinci shrugged. “Her eyes look deceitful. She could’ve poisoned you.” he sneered. “And also, the rumor that she’s dating the young master of Everdeen? Maybe, she seduced him already.” Vinci added as he was pertaining to Georgina, and aside from that, he wants Alexander to be mad at her and dump him.
He just smirked. “As if he would seduce that guy. Believed me, she won’t please that man.” Alexander mumbled confidently.
“That’s what I thought and believed!” Vinci snorted.
No one knows that everyone in the room secretly observes Alexander’s reaction and expression. After all, they were curious about what kind of heart Alexander had for a certain woman.
To put it bluntly, there are a lot of men who are certainly courting Georgina, but she’s been turning them down for a long time now. And for some reason, everyone is waiting for Alexander to break up with his affair with Georgina after his engagement, but they take it over and continue acting and playing.
For fun. Just for fun. After all, no one would feel any affection for a notorious cripple. The club is electric tonight. Everyone is feeding off the smiles and dancing with the bouncy lights around. All are hyped and ready to have a good time with strangers.
The music moves like a puppet on strings. It was loud and alive, and people were dancing in the middle. They can hear the noises in the big transparent room where they are drinking.
Alexander and Evan invited some of their friends that they had seen a while ago and started to be alive inside. Suddenly, Alexander stood up and threw the cigarette on the ashtray.
“I’ll be just in the bathroom,” Alexander said, her voice quite faint and with no emotion at all.
Everyone just nodded their head and didn’t bother to question Alexander. Now, he really needs to go to the bathroom and freshen up a bit. He wasn’t drunk but seems he would drive Dhalia home, and he couldn’t get tons of whiskey.
When he was walking towards the bathroom, he heard a loud noise in a room, preferably the men’s bathroom.
“I will kill you, Georgina! You’re a filthy bitch woman!”
He knitted his forehead and went inside only to find out it was Evan Everdeen, alone in the bathroom facing the mirror. Evan was shocked, and it was pretty written on his face.
“Who are you going to kill, Everdeen?” Alexander’s deep and cold baritone voice roared in the whole men’s bathroom.
Evan was stunned, shocked, and even frightened by the sudden appearance of Alexander.
Originally, Evan’s circle of friends wanted to teach Georgina a lesson, but now that Alexander appeared suddenly, they knew what would happen next if they treated the woman as garbage. Additionally to that, Evan knew how Alexander treated Georgina. After all, the rumors of Alexander marrying Dhalia will soon explode.
Alexander crumpled his fist. “Who would you kill, Evan?” he asked him again.
Evan smirked. “Why do you care? Stop caring, Alexander. Stay out of this. Mind your own business.”
“You’re planning to kill Georgina?” Alexander chortled. “Because she turned down a marriage proposal? Oh, what a pity!” he laughed sardonically. “I thought you’re a womanizer, and you can play with a woman’s heart? Then, why are you plotting something terrible you’ll regret forever?”
Anger wrote on Evan’s face. He glared at him. “Why do you care? If I kill her, it’s not your business anymore.”
Alexander grabbed his button-down shirt and gripped it tightly. He was choking Evan with his hand. The veins on his hands were showing, and anger was written on his face.
“Try to kill her, and I will be the one to bury you dead or alive six feet below the ground!” Alexander threatened the guy.
Evan just laughed heavily. “Y-You’re pathetic… you’re going to marry Dhalia for no reason at all, but they had a reason why they are pursuing you to get married!” Evan blurted words that were most likely Alexander understood. “They’re just after your money! Don’t be a fool!”
Alexander held his neck tightly. “If you lay a hand on her, I won’t hesitate to kill you! Get that, asshole?!” he roared at him. “Once you lay a hand on her, I will send your fucking casket with you inside it to your family!” dangerously, he added.
When he finished venting his anger, he pushed Evan, a reason for him to fall to the ground, before Alexander walked out of the bathroom and went back to the room where they were.
He went to Dhalia and sent her home. He booked a taxi for her so that he could talk to Georgina after.
“Can’t you just send me home? Where are you going?” Dhalia asked him.
“I am not going home, and you can go, Dhalia. I will work tonight.” Alexander told her coldly.
She pursed her lips and obeyed what he had said. Dhalia was a little bit drunk, and she was wasted too. As soon as the taxi was out of his sight, he went inside and dragged Georgina in her arms, walked out of the room, and went to the parking lot of the club.
After getting into the car, Georgina speaks up. “Why did you drag me like that?” she asked.
Alexander drove his car and ignored her didn’t able to talk or glance at her. Georgina sat adequately and put the seatbelt on as she looked out the window.
“I’m mad, literally mad!” Alexander spat.
“Why are you mad? What’s the reason?” she asked curiously. “I should be the one who is angry right now.”
Alexander glance at the woman beside her. “Then what should I do? Just to compensate you?” he asked playfully.
He knows that money can compensate for her anger. Who wouldn’t like that, right? After all, Georgina needs money to buy and spoil herself.
“I want you,” Georgina mumbled softly. “That’s the compensation I need.”
Alexander chuckled. “The Lavinton things, do you think I can give you that?”
“Try me. You can.” she paused. “As long as you want, you can give anything to me.”
Alexander raised his lips for a smirk and smiled. “A million, love or not.”
“A deal is a deal. You’ll fall for me by hook or by crook.”
ALEXANDER dropped Georgina in their mansion and took his leave after. Georgina went inside the house, and she saw his mother.
“It’s late. How could you go home like this?” her mother questioned angrily.
She just swayed her hips and didn’t mind her mother. “If I don’t go home, where should I stay?” she mocked.
Emilia looked at her unpleasantly. “With a foxy smell, why don’t you just simply live in a man’s bed?”
Georgina chuckled. “Oh, how did you know I just got out with your future son-in-law?” she mocked.
After what Emilia has heard, her face gets angry. “How dare you! What kind of a woman like you? You’re a shameless bitch!”
“Shameless or not, he does like it,” she replied charmingly. “Maybe, I am the one he wants to marry and not your little baby daughter!” she said, laughing drunkenly. “By the way, his bed is too fluffy and smooth as we both cuddle all day and night.” she said, pissing off her mother.
