Chapitre 35: Chapter 35

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Bakers! We spoke on the phone the other day. Your work is magnificent!" He spoke and looked around. "I didn't know it was related to the Strauss family."

"She's my girlfriend, Mister Reed." Alex replied.

"Oh!" Reed replied. "Congratulations to the couple. And very nice to meet you in person, Miss Bakers. I hope I see more of her work soon." He smiled as he said this and looked Camilla up and down, subtly. Alex noticed and didn't like it. Reed excused himself and walked away.

"Motherfucker!" Alex grunted.

"Alex!" Camilla nudged him and looked around. Apparently no one else had noticed.

"What? The guy was eating you. Bastard. I don't want you to give him too much talk."

"Alex, he didn't piss me off. Also, he doesn't work at our Los Angeles branch."

"Does not matter." He replied, still irritable.

"Are you jealous?" she asked, laughing.
