Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 49

Then she picked a white plate from the sets of ceramic plates placed near the food. She scooped up a full spoon of rice and placed it on the plate, then gently dropped it in front of Adrik. She added a delicious-looking fried chicken on top of the rice and stood up from her seat.

She walked over to Adrik and picked up the white napkin from the table, then perfectly attached it to his neck. Adrik’s eyes blinked, and he just silently watched her.

Leia handed a fork and knife to him, then walked back to her seat. She glanced at Alex, who stood by the side, and motioned for him to take a seat on the third chair.

Alex blinked his eyes and slightly shook his head in disapproval with an awkward smile on his lips. “Thank you, Mrs. Leia…” He immediately swallowed the rest of his sentence when he saw Leia’s face darkening. She glared at him with menacing eyes and slowly grinned.

Alex chuckled awkwardly and made his way to take a seat beside them on the round table. He scratched the back of his head and sneaked a peek at Adrik, only to see his face expressionless. He swallowed hard and glanced at Leia.

Leia smiled and placed spoons of food on his plate, then did the same on her plate. They began eating, and Leia slowly began to smile while her eyes were fixed on Adrik.

Adrik, who felt her gaze on him, raised his eyes to glance at her and his brow arched in bewilderment.

Leia averted her gaze and munched a little bit fast on her food. She grabbed the glass of water on the table and gulped down a mouthful.

Everywhere went silent, and Adrik gazed at her for a while before he resumed eating. Leia pulled out her phone from her pocket and typed a few words on it.

Adrik’s phone suddenly beeped, and he lazily pulled it out of his pocket. He unlocked it and glanced at the screen, only to see a message from his little wife. [Are you having a good time?]

Adrik smiled warmly and typed his reply to her. [Well… it was more than what I expected… it’s really nice]

Leia raised her eyes to glance at him, and a half-smile made its way to her lips. This was a good feeling. Caring for someone good to you is indeed a very nice feeling. She chuckled within her heart and raised her spoon that was filled with soup to her mouth to drink it, but a message suddenly popped up on her phone, prompting her to pick it up from the table and check it out.

The spoon came to a halt at her lips the moment her gaze fell on the sender’s name, and she hurriedly dropped the spoon into the soup bowl. She opened the chat and her heart skipped a bit.

[Leia, can you guess what?]

‘What?’ Leia typed back with anticipation apparent in her eyes. Adrik, who was eating, raised his brow when he saw the expression on her face.

[You know what, just come to my apartment right now.]

‘You still live there?’

[Yes. Hurry up, alright?]

‘Alright, I will be there in a few minutes.’ Leia stuffed her phone into her pocket and abruptly stood up from the chair, causing Adrik to crease his brow as he stared at her. But, Leia didn’t notice as she didn’t spare him a glance; rather, she grabbed the car key lying on the table near Alex and turned around to leave the room.

She glanced at Adrik and hurriedly proceeded to leave. Adrik, however, stood up from his seat to stop her, but Leia glanced at him apologetically and scurried out of the room.

She took the elevator and went down to the last floor. She hurried out of the building and stepped into the driver’s seat, then started the car’s engine and sped off down the road at almost full speed. During high school then, she would always sneak out of the house without Mr. Adolpho’s notice to go drifting with her friends, including Victor, and when Mr. Adolpho caught her sometimes, he would ground her for at least two to three weeks.

Leia shook her head and increased the speed of the car. It was supposed to take her at least 50 minutes to get to Victor’s apartment, but she made it in 30 minutes.

She packed the Rolls Royce and stepped down. Her eyes scrutinized the surroundings, which looked quite different compared to the last time she was here, and she walked into the tall building.

She walked up the stairs and passed different doors before stopping in front of the one that she was very familiar with.

Leia took a deep breath and raised her hand to slowly knock on the door. Her eyes fluttered, and she cleared her throat.

From inside the room, a person’s eyes peered from the small hole on the door and unlocked the door.

Leia raised her eyes and her brows arched when it fell on her closest friend, whom she had known since the first day of high school.

A smile unknowingly crept on her lips as she stared at Victor, who looked completely different. Victor then was very slim compared to the Victor she was looking at now, who was masculine everywhere. She looked at his brown and blonde hair, then at the silver earring on his left ear, and finally at his sky blue eyes, which used to make girls fall head over heels for him, except for her.

“Leia…” She raised her eyes to gaze at his face when she heard him whisper her name, and her face immediately puckered in displeasure when he stepped forward and drew her into a tight hug.

“Victor!” Leia placed her hand on his chest and pushed him away. “You know how much I hate hugs.” She glared at him and smacked him on the head.

“Seriously, Even after not seeing each other for so long. ” Victor let out a deep sigh and slightly shook his head, then raised his eyes to scrutinize her from head to toe. “You look so different.” He smiled widely and shook his head in awe.. “You look really hot.”
