Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 257

Selene, Samantha, and Alexa were still talking when Renz joined them. Alexa suddenly became nervous when Renz approached them.

She hoped he didn’t remember her or recognize her. Her appearance tonight was different from her looks when she pretended to be part of the utility team.

‘Can he recognize me? Did he remember the kiss?’ Alexa thought to herself.

“Congratulations, Selene,” Renz greeted Selene as soon as he reached their spot. Alexa tried to hide from him by moving at the back of Samantha.

But Selene immediately mentioned her name after she thanked Renz.

“Renz, this is my friend, Alexa. She’s the one who brought you home when you got drunk,” Selene said, catching Alexa off guard.

Renz’s gaze moved from Selene to Alexa. She flashed a forced smile while raising her hand to greet Renz.

“Hello, Mr. Chou. We met again,” Alexa said awkwardly.

Renz paused for a moment as he glanced at Alexa, assessing her. Alexa, on the other hand, gulped hard and tried to hold her breath. She didn’t know why she was so tense right now just facing Renz.

Was it because of the kiss and passionate moment they shared in his room?

After a while, Renz’s lips curled up into a small smile before extending his hand to Alexa.

“Hi Alexa, nice meeting you.”

Alexa glanced at his hand for several seconds before accepting it.

“Thank you for bringing me home that night. I hope I didn’t give you so much hassle,” Renz politely said.

Alexa heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. It seemed that Renz didn’t remember the passionate moment that happened between them.

“Don’t mention it, Mr. Chou. Selene is my friend and I know your close relationship with her, that’s why I helped you out.”

“Just call me Renz. Mr. Chou is too formal,” Renz insisted.

Alexa just smiled meekly before nodding her head.

“Yes, that’s true! Let’s not be formal. All of us here are friends!” Samantha joined the conversation, tapping Alexa’s shoulder.

Renz was still eyeing Alexa. He somehow felt some familiarity with her.

‘Did I see her somewhere, aside from here and after meeting in the bar? She looks familiar. But I can’t remember where exactly I saw her.’

Renz was still lost in his thoughts when Selene had spoken again.

“May I excuse myself first? I will just find Gabriel…”

Renz couldn’t help but feel jealous at the mention of Gabriel’s name. He could only watch Selene as she walked away to find Eros.

Renz was no longer her man. They were only friends now. Samantha had no idea about Selene’s and  Renz’s breakup so she didn’t notice the sadness in his eyes. Only Alexa could see it.

Renz smiled bitterly and just decided to get some drinks. Samantha was approached by the other guests so Alexa was left alone. Alexa just watched Renz from a distance.

“He looks gloomy and sad but he is still gorgeous and charming,” Alexa mumbled as she sipped her wine.

“Should I entertain him or not?” She was contemplating what to do.

But since she couldn’t ignore Renz, she finally walked over to join him at the bar counter where the drinks were being served.

She sat beside him, asking for another drink. Renz glanced at his side upon hearing her voice.

“Planning to get drunk again?” Alexa asked him jokingly.

Renz just smiled at her faintly before shaking his head.

“I can’t get drunk tonight. Or else, I will trouble you again,” Renz said, playing along with her joke.

Alexa giggled because Renz was acting friendly towards her.

“I don’t mind becoming your drinking buddy tonight,” She mumbled, raising her glass for a toast.

Renz also raised his glass as a response to Alexa before he took a sip. Alexa’s eyes moved on his lips. She couldn’t help but recall their passionate kiss.

Alexa gulped hard as she watched Renz’s lips as if they were inviting her to kiss him again. She loved the feeling of kissing him.

Unknowingly, Alexa blushed as her face heated up at those thoughts. She recalled how Renz kissed her aggressively that night. She gulped her wine in one go and looked away to divert her attention.

She was being tempted by this gorgeous man without his knowledge.

‘Get a hold of yourself, Alexa!’ She scolded herself inwardly.

“Alexa, are you okay? Don’t tell me you are drunk already? Your cheeks are all red,” Renz said, catching Alexa’s attention back.

‘Damn! He noticed it! Am I really blushing?’

Alexa covered her face with both hands while shaking her head. “No, I’m fine. I’m not drunk. It’s just a natural reaction of my cheeks whenever I drink alcohol or wine.”

Alexa lied since the alcohol and wine had nothing to do with her blushing face. She just imagined kissing Renz, that’s why she blushed.

“Oh, okay. Don’t worry… if you get drunk, I will return the favor of bringing you home,” Renz said with a smile.

Alexa was taken aback when she saw that charming smile. Her heart began pounding rapidly inside her chest.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

‘Gosh, Renz’s charm is very irresistible! Selene, why did you let go of him? If I were you, I would not let another woman take him away.’

“Ahem, don’t bother, Mr. Chou. I might end up doing something to you once I get drunk. So stay away from me as much as you can when you notice that I am already drunk…”

‘Because… I might not control myself from ravishing you,’ Alexa added in her thoughts without voicing it out.

Meanwhile, Renz finally chuckled when he heard that. There was an amused look in his eyes as he looked at her.

“Aggressive? What kind of aggressiveness?” Renz asked Alexa, feeling intrigued.

Alexa smiled while scratching her face. Then she leaned over to whisper her answer so that only Renz could hear her.

“Aggressive in a way, I tend to kiss someone after getting drunk,” Alexa whispered, testing Renz. She wanted to confirm one last time whether he remembered the kiss or not.

Renz blinked his eyes several times then a certain memory flashed in his mind. He saw himself in his drunken state while kissing someone.

Renz: “…”

‘Wait… did that kiss really happen? Did I kiss Alexa that night thinking she was Selene?’
