"Does the gender matter?" He asked.
Right! It was impossible to reason with a jealous husband.
"Okay then, I'm honored that Mr. Russell is all jealous because of me. However," she paused and cupped his face in her hands, "We're also decent human beings and should be considerate of others. I'm going to check on Jenny. Please, just be good for me, okay?"
She pecked him lightly on the lips and went to make her call. Alexander could not refute it, as she made perfect sense and even cared for his ego. It was undeniably difficult to refuse her.
"Hey Jenny, are you there yet? How's the situation?" Lily asked. She was unsure if the client was an actual client or just someone Alexander had planted there. Regardless, she wanted to ensure her friend was safe.
"How long do you need? Come back soon and if you need anything, just call me," Lily repeated. At the
same time, Alexander raised his hand and squeezed her waist playfully.
Lily rolled her eyes at him and continued, "It's nothing. I was just clumsy and hit the table with my leg. I'm okay! Don't worry about me. Have a safe trip back to the hotel, and I'll see you later. Bye!"
Lily then glared at him. "Stop it!"
"What did I do? I didn't utter a word or make a sound," he feigned innocence.
