Chapter 15 She Could Act Like a Playboy Too
Licia?
Edmond looked at the tall and strong man in the suit in front of him, then his eyes fell on the aluminum food box the man was holding.
'Hmm, he actually made her breakfast himself,' Edmond thought.
It took Alicia a while to realize that this man was looking for her. She almost thought that Edmond had begun to develop gay admirers.
Luckily, she didn't blurt out asking about this man's identity earlier.
After realizing, she quickly put on a sweet smile and introduced Edmond to that man, "This is my husband. Emm... You should introduce yourself."
Edmond looked meaningfully at Alicia and the man. Then the man walked over and placed the lunch box he was holding on Alicia's desk.
He proactively extended his hand to Edmond and graciously introduced himself, "Eli Preston, nice to meet you."
Edmond met Eli's gaze with squinted eyes. He did not take Eli's outstretched hand and said with a mocking smile, "You already know she has a husband. And yet you dare to be so bold and shameless. You are something."
Not embarrassed, Eli withdrew his hand and replied calmly, "Likewise."
Then he turned to Alicia and smiled gently, "Have you had breakfast?"
Although Alicia was a little uncomfortable with the proactive concern of the unknown man, not wanting to reveal any weaknesses in front of Edmond, she smiled and nodded, "I missed you so much that I lost my appetite." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Edmond couldn't bear to listen to their conversation any longer. He stood up right in front of them, hands in his pockets, and interrupted their conversation, "Then I won't bother you."
Alicia didn't know if it was her imagination, but she sensed a hint of jealousy in his tone.
After Edmond left, Eli sat down, calmly adjusted his suit jacket and explained, "Grace sent me."
Alicia had already suspected. She nodded and took a checkbook out of the drawer, deftly picking up a pen to write a check, "Thank you for your good work. This is your fee."
She did the whole process very skillfully, as if she had done the same process many times before.
Eli raised an eyebrow, glanced at the check she handed him, but didn't reach out to take it.
Now Alicia had time to study the man in front of her. He was tall and muscular. But even though he wore a sharp suit, his demeanor didn't seem like that of a businessman.
"Which agency do you work for?"
The man smiled and replied, "The StarFlorrick Entertainment. I was a model."
As she expected. She had guessed right.
The StarFlorrick Entertainment was an entertainment company owned by Grace's family. Eli was a contract artist under their management and was sent by Grace to do a show for Edmond.
"Grace told me that if you need it, I can work with you for the long term for this show. My agency will pay me."
Although Grace was always a generous friend, she couldn't be so generous with her. Surprised by Grace's generosity towards her, Alicia quickly understood the situation.
"Do you have any other conditions?" Alicia asked.
Eli smiled, "Yes. I want you to hyped up a romantic relationship with me."
Confused, Alicia asked, "Why?"
"Because I don't want anyone to know that I like men."
"..."
Alicia paused for a moment and replied, "Okay, go back and wait for my contacts."
Eli left his card and walked away. Soon after, Grace called Alicia.
"Hey, girl! Did you get the guy I sent? Are you happy? Hahaha! Isn't he much better looking than Edmond?"
Alicia laughed helplessly and asked, "Do you know he's gay?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then Grace let out a few curses and continued, "No way!!!"
"He admitted it himself."
Beep, beep, beep...
Grace abruptly ended the call.
Alicia looked at the screen intently without saying a word. Soon she received a message that interrupted her thoughts. It consisted of two photos sent by Edmond.
She clicked on the first photo and saw a pink food box with a post-it that read, "Dr. Agos, have a good breakfast today!"
The second photo showed the rich variety of his breakfast in the food box, including garlic roasted oysters and soy beef fig salad.
Proudly, Edmond texted her a message after the photos, "I'm having a loving breakfast too."
Alicia sneered and replied defiantly, "So, all your lovers know that you are impotent. That's why this girl gives you soybeans, oysters and beef early in the morning. Enjoy, Dr. Agos."
