Chapter 234

Autor: River Fish
Memories came rushing back. Alexandra's eyes snapped open as she stared wordlessly at the ceiling. Last night, she had a clear goal—to break into Simon's Jeriton social group. So, she had accepted his invitation to the singles party.

It was a blast. She had had plenty to drink, but she hadn't gotten drunk. When everything wrapped up, Simon, entrusted by Phoebe, was supposed to see Alexandra home safely.

Naturally, Alexandra was happy about that. But right at her doorstep, she had run into her freshly dumped ex. They had agreed to date for only six months, but the ex came out and said he had fallen in love with her and wanted to keep their relationship going.

Alexandra hated it when someone brought up "real feelings" after they had both agreed the relationship was just for fun. If real feelings mattered that much, they wouldn't have said it was only for fun in the first place.

She truly had no patience for someone who didn't understand the rules of the game and kept bothering her.

    Simon narrowed his eyes, amused by the fake smile on Alexandra's face. He pushed her onto the bed and pinned her down, leaning in closer as his grin turned wicked. "I know that saying that only pisses off men who really can't perform."He pressed his face against her ear, nibbling her earlobe as he whispered, "I'm very capable."Alexandra's body turned to jelly at his teasing, but her voice stayed steady. "Only women get to judge whether the man's technique is any good."Simon kissed her earlobe before moving to her neck. "Then tell me how exactly my performance was lacking last night."Alexandra was speechless.Simon didn't sit by idly while he talked. His lips moved from her neck to her cheek; his smile widened when he saw the impatience in her eyes. "Oh, so when you screamed yourself hoarse last night, it wasn't out of pleasure—but the opposite?"She didn't want him on top of her anymore. "Get off me.""You're so unreasonable. I'm breaking things down so seriously for you, bu

    The store's lighting was soft, and as it fell across Gideon's face, his sharply defined features looked almost unreal in their handsomeness to Phoebe.He was so blinding that she couldn't help but squint a little. She lowered her eyes to the moon puzzle he had spent time piecing together. For someone with staggering wealth, the gift was objectively inexpensive. Still, she could feel the care and consideration he had put into it.If Gideon wanted to, he could give plenty of expensive gifts. But at that moment, he and Phoebe were just a CEO and his secretary; it wouldn't be appropriate for her to accept it.The glass cup was expensive, too, but given what had happened before, Phoebe could accept it with a clear conscience—if Gideon truly intended it for her. And if he asked for one in return, it would make sense for her to give it to him.So, given their relationship, the moon puzzle he had assembled himself was better than any cup. Its meaning and the effort behind it were on a diff

    Phoebe was about to ask something, but Gideon had already turned and walked into the store. His broad shoulders, trim waist, long legs, and refined air seriously made him stand out.Phoebe thought that it was strange. Phoebe would feel a stab at the sight of Connor's back, but not Gideon's. In fact, she felt an urge to hurry after him.After walking into the store, Gideon took a seat in the lounge area. Phoebe didn't need to ask anything; she would pick the gift she wanted and have him foot the bill.The cups were expensive. She would never accept one as a gift when she wasn't close to him. But now that he was giving her a gift, refusing would feel wrong.So, she focused on choosing. There wasn't anything else to do, and she wasn't in a rush. She had a cup shaped like a tree, and the one she had given Gideon was a star. She didn't know what she wanted to buy, but the moment she saw a cup shaped like a moon, she immediately decided that was it.Phoebe signaled to the store clerk to

    Phoebe had gotten used to being around Gideon, but what he said still caught her off guard. In their last two exchanges, she hadn't looked at him. Now, she couldn't help turning to him because his question was so unexpected.Gideon's side profile was ridiculously handsome. Below his face was a sharp Adam's apple and shoulders that were broad and manly—nothing like a skinny teenager's.This time, instead of following along with his words, Phoebe said, "Mr. Blackwood, I've always thought that you couldn't care less about Connor, but… Forgive me for being blunt, but it now feels like you take him very seriously."Gideon didn't say anything. He simply tilted his head and glanced at her. Then, he looked straight ahead again.She explained, "It's because you always tie whatever I do back to Connor. What I mean is, Connor really isn't that important anymore. You can't assume that if I start dating someone now, it's just to put on a show for him. Wouldn't that mean that I'm still orbiting

    Simon seriously suspected that he had missed something big.Phoebe wasn't surprised that Gideon was there, and Simon was the reason for that. He loved a spectacle, so he wouldn't have been able to sit still after Evan had kicked up a fuss and left. It was clear now that he'd gone and dragged Gideon over.She decided to keep her distance from Simon for a bit.But then, Simon walked over, looking genuinely surprised. "When did you get here? I didn't even call you yet!"Only then did Phoebe turn to look at Gideon in astonishment. So, Simon hadn't asked him out? Had he come on his own?Gideon ignored Simon and looked straight at Phoebe, his voice low as he asked, "Do you have time now?"Even if she didn't, she had to make time. "Sure.""Come with me."Those three words left no room for argument; Phoebe couldn't refuse. "Give me a second, Mr. Blackwood. I need to grab my bag from the private room."As she left for the room, Simon jumped in immediately. "It looks like I guessed corr
