Chapter 253: Chapter 253: I Just Had a Brain Fart

Chapter 253

The realization startled Layla Lowell and instinctively, she tried to push him away.

But he didn’t let go. Neither the hand around her shoulder nor the one gripping her cheeks loosened.

His handsome face exuded an air of a ruffian, a smirk playing around the corners of his eyes as he leaned in—

Just at that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Both of them turned their heads to see a man and woman standing in the doorway.

Chloe Collins casually clad, arms folded, had Alexander Foster standing behind her, almost a head taller than her.

A thin layer of yellow light covered their faces- the light from the corridor- this perhaps was why their expressions appeared with an extra layer of mockery.

Layla Lowell impulsively pushed away the man next to her, hastily wiping away her tears, not daring to look ahead.

However, Charles Carrington was not as frantic as she was. Instead, he calmly swallowed his red wine and smoothly leaned back, eyeing Alexander Foster, "The two of you went on a date to the moon? Slower than a turtle."

Alexander Foster cast a glance at the teary-eyed girl, took a moment to ponder, and finally, his gaze fell on Chloe Collins.

Not long ago, she had asked him about Charles Carrington’s weaknesses.

Chloe Collins turned to Layla Lowell, "What happened? Why is my friend crying?"

Upon hearing this, a cloud passed over Charles Carrington’s face, "You... Are you two conspiring against me?"

He gnashed his teeth, his eyes firmly fixed on Chloe Collins.

Chloe Collins feigned ignorance, "What do you mean? I don’t understand."

"You..."

Chloe Collins sat down, "Dear Charles Carrington, are you planning to deny your responsibility and leave?"

"My responsibility? What am I supposed to... " Charles Carrington suddenly felt at a loss for words.

His breath was stuck in his throat.

At this moment he realized, he was trapped in this "lady’s" scheme again!

"Alex... You have to take my side!" He was seething, and tried to reach for Alexander Foster who was seated next to him.

Alexander’s gaze was cold, "A grown man, bullying a young girl?"

The hand Charles Carrington had stretched out in plea was frozen in mid-air, his teeth gritted, "You traitor..."

Feeling the piercing gaze of a certain man, he quickly shut his mouth.

He straightened his collar, turned towards Chloe Collins and said solemnly, "No need to think about the case any further. I’m not interested. I won’t fall for your tricks this time, not at all! However, if you are willing to call me ’brother,’ or ’oppa,’ or even... ’hubby,’ I might consider it."

He slowly took a sip of his wine, gauging Alexander Foster’s response.

Surprisingly, he wasn’t mad at him.

Suddenly—

"Oppa, brother, hubby."

A girl’s voice came, emotionless and clear, like that of a robot.

Although it seemed very superficial, it still surprised both men.

Charles Carrington swallowed, looking at Alexander Foster, "How... how did she..."

"As long as you agree, whatever you want to hear today, I can say it for you, the offer has an expiration date," Chloe Collins said casually.

She didn’t seem to realize her mistake at all, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Charles Carrington steeled his gut and stuck to his principles, "No, I thought about it, and no!"

"I see." Layla Lowell suddenly stood up.

She had a completely different look in her eyes, firm and direct.

She turned to Charles Carrington, "Mr. Carrington, it was thoughtless of me to stoop so low. I apologize for my behavior. Since you’re not interested, I won’t bother you in the future. Please don’t blame my friend for anything. If you have any problems, bring them to me, Layla Lowell."

As soon she finished speaking, she turned to Chloe Collins and said, "I’m going to leave first."
