Despite his stubbornness, he knew better than to delay further.

Hastily, he scrambled up and wrote out a check.

Alexis took it with a nonchalant command for him to leave, and the man left in a huff.

She then pressed the intercom to summon her assistant.

The assistant came in.

“What can I do for you, Miss Fowler?”

Alexis handed her the check and instructed, “Contact Mrs.

Duffy and deliver this to her.

As for the rest, let’s not bring it up again.

The assistant seemed puzzled.

“Why do this? Mrs.

Duffy probably hates you the most right now.

Alexis responded confidently, “I know, but nobody turns down free money.

Just send it over.

The assistant nodded in understanding and left, closing the door behind her.

Alexis then moved to the pool table and began playing snooker.

Noticing Leonel still in the room, she asked, “Hey, why are you still here?”

He approached her, removing his jacket.

“Are you always this rough in your dealings?” he queried.

Alexis smiled while taking her shot.

“For people like him, it’s the only way.

She pocketed two balls and then turned to Leonel, patting his face playfully.

“Haven’t I always been nice to you?”

Leonel, however, grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of the pool table, positioning himself close.

His voice was low and hoarse.

“Nice? Every time I ki*s you, it feels like you’re about to pull out all my hair.

Alexis let out a light chuckle.

“still hung up on that, Mr.

Douglas?” she teased.

“Don’t take things that happen just once or twice too seriously.

There’s nothing left to discuss here.

You can leave now.

Just send over the contract, and I’ll give it another look.
