Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 268
Micaela was pissed off when she was left behind in Renz’s office together with his assistant.
A woman whose identity she didn’t know suddenly appeared, calling him ‘Babe’. Micaela was mad as her conversation with Renz was interrupted.
She also hated the fact that another woman showed up, trying to ruin her plan. She needed to know the identity of that woman.
“Do you know the person who dragged Renz?” Micaela asked Renz’s assistant.
The assistant shook his head as this was the first time he saw Alexa. He was also surprised when he heard her calling his boss ‘Babe’. As far as he knew, Selene was Renz’s fiancee.
“Is he cheating on my best friend, Selene?” Micaela spoke up once again. She was shameless and thick-skinned for calling Selene’s best friend. She was a hypocrite and pretentious.
The assistant just shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t want to comment on that. He had no idea about this matter. This should be handled by couples, not by outsiders.
Micaela could no longer stand it. She stood up and left. She would just ask Mr. M’s help regarding this matter. She would let him investigate Alexa’s identity.
Meanwhile, Alexa and Renz were inside her car. He was still wondering why Alexa dropped by his office. He was just staring at her, waiting for her to speak up.
He wanted to ask her why she called him Babe. It just came from out of nowhere. Though he was dying to know, he decided to let her speak first.
“Don’t trust Micaela.” Alexa finally spoke up, breaking the silence.
“Don’t believe her lies. Don’t listen to her,” she added.
Renz blinked several times. He didn’t expect that Alexa would say that.
“How did you know about this?” Renz asked her in confusion.
“I overheard your conversation,” Alexa said as an alibi. “Selene also told me about the video.”
“I believe Micaela is not a victim here. She played a part in this to break you and Selene apart.”
“Just don’t believe it because she told you so! Because she cried in front of you. Renz, don’t let her fool you.”
Renz didn’t know why Alexa was so worked up regarding this matter. He could tell based on her expression and the way she talked to him. She was concerned about him.
Renz smiled, giving her a grateful look. “Thank you for reminding me, Alexa. I appreciate your concern with me. Don’t worry. I will not let someone fool me.”
“But I can’t be rude to her. She saved my life before. I am still indebted to her. But it doesn’t mean I believe her.”
Renz heaved a deep sigh. “I can’t blame others. I am also at fault here. I’m so embarrassed. I didn’t expect that you also knew about the video.” Renz lowered his gaze.
Alexa bit her lower lip. She was not supposed to say that. “Don’t worry. I didn’t see the video. Selene just mentioned it to me.” Alexa lied again. She couldn’t tell Renz that she learned about it because of the spying cameras she installed in Renz’s office.
Renz would get mad at her once he found out that he was being spied on by Alexa. But she promised that she would remove those cameras once she made sure that Renz would stop seeing Micaela.
His life was still in danger according to Selene. This was one way of protecting him. She suspected that Micaela had an accomplice. She was still investigating the shooting incident.
Who was helping Micaela with her scheme? If Renz only knew, Micaela had something to do with the shooting incident. He didn’t need to feel indebted to her. That was part of Micaela’s and Mr. M’s plan.
Alexa and Renz became silent for a moment. They could feel the awkwardness between them.
To lighten the atmosphere, Alexa tried to divert the topic. “Are you available tonight, Mr. Chou? I need a drinking buddy. How about we go for a drink later?”
Renz didn’t respond right away. He was just looking at her with his amused expression. He could tell that Alexa had a cool personality. He liked friendly behavior.
“Sure, I think I am free tonight. Let’s grab some drinks later. It’s my treat.”
“Deal.” Alexa cheerfully said while winking at Renz.
Renz just let out a soft chuckle. Talking to Alexa felt refreshing. She was easy to talk to. No wonder Selene got closer to her easily.
“I think I should go now. Let’s meet later okay?” Renz was about to step out of the car when Alexa grabbed his hand, thus stopping him.
“Wait. I don’t have your number. How can we contact each other later?”
Renz extended his hand asking for Alexa’s phone. “I will save my number. Then call me so that I can save your number.”
Alexa bobbed her head before giving her phone to Renz. He typed his own number on Alexa’s phone. When he was done, he gave the phone back to Alexa, letting her save it.
Renz said goodbye to her before stepping out of the car. He reminded her to call him.
Alexa just smiled from ear to ear while watching Renz’s back. He was now going back to the Star Corp building. She had nothing to worry about since Micaela already left the building.
“Alright! This is great. I just stopped Renz from falling into Micaela’s beauty trap again.” She commended herself.
“Renz is a good man. I hope he can find someone. Selene is already happy with her current boyfriend. I hope Renz will also find his happiness.”
“But for now. I have to protect him against that Scheming Witch, Micaela.”
After saying that, Alexa started the car. She would follow Micaela to find out who was her accomplice.
She saw her grabbing a taxi. She memorized the plate numbers and she started tracking its location.
Micaela was on the way to meet Mr. M.. If Alexa would succeed in tailing Micaela without being noticed then she might discover something today.
