Bab 240: The Birthday Girl

Rain smiled widely as she spotted Alexander leaning casually against the car, waiting for her. He immediately stepped forward to help with her paper bags, his eyes narrowing briefly at the chocolate bouquet she held in her other hand.

She half-expected him to ask about it, but he didn't. Once they were settled inside the car, Rain couldn't resist anymore. She pulled a chocolate from the bouquet, unwrapped it, and took a bite. She'd been craving these pistachio chocolates, the expensive kind Henry had given her as she left the office.

"Want some?" she asked, offering it to Alexander.

"Who gave you that bouquet?" he finally asked, eyeing it.

"Oh, it's from Henry," she replied casually, savoring the chocolate. Instantly his face darkened. She knew he was being a little possessive, but his reaction amused her. 

Alexander immediately grabbed the bouquet and placed it in the back seat, muttering, "I'll get you something better than that."
