True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 224 Alexander's Jealousy

"Melanie Hayes glanced at Alexander, worried.

Desperate, Alexander blurted, ""Get in the car.""

Melanie's heart raced as she opened the passenger door, fingers trembling.

Just as she was about to get in, Alexander said, ""Sit in the back.""

Melanie paused, then smiled. ""You forgot I get carsick in the back. Remember college?""

Alexander didn't look at her; his eyes were on Sophia, who was limping towards a taxi. ""Hurry up and get in,"" he urged.

Before Melanie could settle, he sped off. Startled, she grabbed the handle, ""Alexander, slow down, I get carsick.""

He ignored her, only slowing down when they reached Sophia. He rolled down the window and said, ""Sophia, if you keep wandering, your leg won't heal."" Sophia looked up, seeing Melanie smiling in the car. She knew Melanie from college and now as Alexander's colleague. Rumors said they were dating.

Sophia recalled Alexander's excuse to Dean, saying he liked someone at the hospital. 'So, it's Melanie,' she thought, feeling a pang in her chest.

She brushed her hair back and stated, ""Thanks, Mr. Cross, but I'm fine. I'll manage.""

Alexander gripped the wheel, frustrated. ""I'll take you home. It's rush hour, hard to get a taxi.""

""No need, someone's picking me up. Enjoy your time with the lady,"" Sophia smiled, hiding her pain.

Just then, a blue sports car pulled up. Edgar Moore waved, ""Sophia, get in.""

Sophia limped over, got in, and the car sped off.

Melanie smiled at Alexander. ""Isn't that Miss Sinclair from our hospital's film shoot? Didn't expect her with Mr. Moore.""

Alexander looked puzzled and asked, ""Who's Mr. Moore?""

Melanie was surprised. ""Edgar Moore, the top celebrity who just won three international awards. He's only 24 and a big name in entertainment. You didn't know?""

Alexander frowned, his voice cold. ""Why should I know him?""

He started the car, driving off. The more he thought about Edgar and Sophia, the angrier he got.

Alexander knew men and sensed Edgar's feelings for Sophia. 'Would Edgar hurt Sophia?' The thought tightened his chest, and he sped up.

Melanie, looking out the window, asked, ""Alexander, are we going the wrong way? This isn't the direction to your house, is it?""

Melanie felt a bit excited, thinking Alexander was taking her home.

Everyone knew Alexander was meticulous at work but carefree in his personal life, often hitting bars and clubs.

But then Alexander said, ""There's a subway station ahead. I'll drop you off there. I have something to do.""

He slammed on the brakes, unlocked the car, and gestured for Melanie to get out.

Frustrated, Melanie's smile stiffened. ""Alright, take care.""

She got out reluctantly, watching as Alexander drove off without a word. She stomped her foot in anger, her gentle eyes turning cold.

Alexander sped up and caught up with Sophia's car in less than ten minutes.

The car stopped at a club. Edgar got out, opened the door for Sophia, and helped her inside.

Reporters swarmed them, mics in hand. ""Mr. Moore, Miss Sinclair, in 'Mislove,' you play a couple. Any comments?""

Sophia smiled gracefully. ""It's an honor to work with Mr. Moore. I'll do my best not to disappoint.""

Edgar added, ""Miss Sinclair is an actress I've always wanted to work with. We'll give our best performance.""

A reporter asked, ""Miss Sinclair, there are rumors you're pregnant out of wedlock. Is that true? Who's the father?""

Handling the tricky questions with ease, Sophia impressed Alexander. He realized he had underestimated her.

Just as he was about to approach, he saw Sophia link arms with Edgar, smiling warmly. ""Mr. Moore, the banquet is about to start. Let's go.""

They walked towards the hall under the reporters' cameras. Someone exclaimed, ""Don't they look perfect together? I can't wait to see Sophia seducing Mr. Moore in the movie.""" ""That movie is full of sexual tension. I wonder if Sophia can nail the seductive role.""

""Sophia's acting is great. She could make reading a phone book seem captivating. She'll be amazing.""

"There are so many classic scenes: the bathtub kiss, the snow kiss, the medicine kiss. I screamed reading the novel. I hope they make those scenes heart-pounding."

""I'm so excited. I heard this is Sophia's first on-screen kiss. I wonder if her boyfriend will be jealous.""

Hearing this, Alexander clenched his fists. 'What kind of roles is Sophia taking? Seducing men and kissing them?'

Thinking of these scenes, Alexander felt like a firework exploded in his head, shattering him. He felt a sharp pain and immediately called his only married friend.

As soon as the call connected, he asked, ""I need to ask you something. Say you dislike a woman, but then you see her with another man, and it makes you furious. What does that mean?"" Tyler laughed. ""That's jealousy, man. You probably like her. How do you not know that?""""
