When Alexandrine heard Chuck outside, she let out a small chuckle.
She had been waiting for him to come by for a while now.
Alexandrina was a smart woman, so she knew why Chuck had come to her.
Even so, she was a little unhappy with the way he had greeted her, 'Auntie? No, that won't do. I'd rather you call me sis."
Taken aback, Chuck merely nodded in compliance.
"Come over here, I'll treat you to a drink," Alexandrina said as she gestured for him to come over.
Once Chuck had gotten close enough to her, he couldn't help but admit just how attractive this woman was.
"This wine is very expensive. Even Karen wouldn't be able to get her hands on it. But since you've come to pay me a visit, I'll let you have some," Alexandrina smiled charmingly.
Chuck took a polite sip accordingly and started to speak, "I'm here because..."
"Because of what?" Alexandrina pretended not to know.
"First and foremost, I came to see you how you were doing," Chuck said. He knew that this woman liked to be flattered, so he had to sweeten her up first before asking for any favours.
"Right, right. And then?" Alexandrine asked flatly.
"Well... I was hoping you'd help me out with something. You see, my Auntie Logan is missing, but she was rescued by a stranger. Her whereabouts are unknown now and I hope you could help me find her," Chuck explained directly. He did not want to waste any precious time.
When he heard from Black Rose that the killer organisation could have some information, he was really happy.
"You want me to look for her?"
"Yes. Would you be able to..." Chuck asked, flashing her his best puppy eyes.
"How sweet! You're trying so hard to please me..." Alexandrina laughed.
Chuck thought that she was a nice woman. Previously, not only did she remove Yvette's kill order, she had even wanted to give him some money.
"So... can you help me?" Chuck asked nervously. Alexandrina and his mother did not have a very good relationship. That was why Chuck had decided to come here himself.
"Of course. But what do I get out of this? Don't forget, you still haven't fulfilled some of the promises you made last time..." Alexandrina smiled as she gazed at Chuck.
"As long as you agree to help me, I will do anything you ask," Chuck gave in.
This meant that she definitely had some information about Willa.
"Anything? Please, spare me the nonsense," Alexandrina snapped as she grabbed Chuck's hair without warning.
"Please help me," He continued to plead.
"No. Why should I if I won't benefit from this?"
"I'll ask my mom to compensate you..."
"Please, even though I'm not as wealthy as your mother, I'm not short of money. I have no need for more," Alexandrina snorted.
After all, she ran a huge business.
"Oh, what do you want then?" Chuck had a bad feeling about this.
"I want you," Alexandrina stated simply with a smirk.
In her last dream, the scene she had conjured had enticed her very much.
Feeling embarrassed, Chuck started to mutter, "I have a wife."
"I know. But that doesn't concern me whatsoever. You can just be my lover then, I won't mind," Alexandrina replied.
Chuck did not know how to react to this. Previously, she had told him that she fancied him, but when he went ahead and got close to her, she had gotten angry and demand him to get out of her way.
The mixed signals Alexandrina was giving out confused Chuck.
"Do you mean it this time?" Chuck asked, feeling a headache about to come in.
"Of course!"
"But you yelled at me the last time I sat close to you..." Chuck complained.
At the time, he just wanted her to promise to let Yvette go.
"Of course I did! What type of woman do you take me for?" Alexandrina retorted, curling her lips into a small frown.
At that time, she had been annoyed. She was clearly the one in control previously, but Chuck had gone ahead and taken control of things. It would be reasonable for her to get angry.
Therefore, she yelled at Chuck.
"What exactly do you want?" Chuck began to ask once more, crestfallen.
"Don't make me repeat myself," Alexandrina narrowed her eyes.
Chuck was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking up again. He asked, "You're serious, right?"
"Yes. I want you to be my lover."
Alexandrina secretly snickered. She had won this time around.
