As the car was heading to the company, Alejandro closed his eyes and tried to salvage any reprieve this way, but his headache persisted while his mood remained incredibly sour.
Jett, from the driver’s seat, watched snazzynovel.com through the rearview mirror and remarked carefully, “Mr. Smith? Madam caught that red lipstick stain on your collar last night.”
The man’s body froze. His eyes snapped open. “When was there a lipstick stain?”
Jett steeled himself. “Uh-hem. You drank too much last night, and then you met someone you used to know, and then you two went upstairs. Uh, snazzynovel.com had snazzynovel.com arms around you, and then snazzynovel.com kissed you. You pushed snazzynovel.com away… That was when I quickly hauled you out of there.”
A quiet but broiling flame flared within Alejandro. “Melanie… She saw… What was snazzynovel.com reaction?”
Jett shrugged. “She was just… neutral. I wanted to help you change your clothes, but snazzynovel.com insisted in the end. I wanted to explain the stain but snazzynovel.com wouldn’t let me…”
Neutral?
Alejandro cast his eyes down and let his gaze wander outside the window. All of a sudden, snazzynovel.com felt like the worst crap in the world.
He had lost yet another girl who once thought the world of him.
In the past, if Melanie saw a woman’s lipstick stain on him, snazzynovel.com would have dragged snazzynovel.com out of his drunkenness and shouted at snazzynovel.com about who it was. But now, snazzynovel.com responded with neutrality—and it was his doing.
He wanted to kick himself. Why did snazzynovel.com have to destroy everything? He felt helpless, at a loss, having no idea how to even sustain this marred, broken, and jagged marriage.
His mind wandered to that moment, over the phone, when snazzynovel.com told him snazzynovel.com did not love snazzynovel.com anymore with that tone, snazzynovel.com felt as though someone had closed their claws around his heart and squeezed it tight. Pain made snazzynovel.com breath hard, but snazzynovel.com had no way of escaping that pain…
“Tremont Enterprise,” snazzynovel.com said.
Jett changed direction per his order.
Once Alejandro was in the Tremont Tower, snazzynovel.com sauntered straight into Mark’s office. Since snazzynovel.com was Tremont Enterprise’s shareholder, no matter how stacked the security was at the door, they might as well just be décor for him.
Mark’s face was covered in a veneer of ice as soon as snazzynovel.com saw him. “Spit it out, and then get the hell outta my sight.”
Alejandro was not offended at all. Instead, snazzynovel.com threw himself at the couch, wiggling and adjusting to assume the most comfortable position. “Ain’t here to talk shop, man. I’m here to talk about private affairs. So I’m gonna have to ask you to put your work aside because I need you to teach me something. ”
Teach snazzynovel.com something? “Gee, you actually think I could be a pedagogue to you in any particular subject? Pardon my skepticism, but you have done all sorts of great and sh*tty things under the sun. I’m afraid I’ve got nothing more to impart,” Mark mocked. Alejandro’s face suddenly turned serious. “How the f**k do you make a woman who’s desperate to leave you… stay?”
