Accept my confession?
Lina nearly laughed in his face.
What confession?
The entire thing had been a lie!
She looked up at Alexander's faintly amused smile and immediately knew he had seen straight through her little performance. He knew perfectly well that she had only claimed to like him because she needed an escape from Lucien and Julian.
And yet, knowing that, he had still accepted her confession with such seriousness.
Was he deliberately making a fool of her?
Lina's teeth clenched.
She was furious, but with Lucien and Julian still standing there, she could not possibly start arguing with Alexander. Compared with the chaos that had been unfolding all evening, Alexander teasing her was the lesser evil.
She would deal with him later.
Alexander's hand tightened lightly around her waist.
"Are you so happy that you've lost your mind?"
His voice carried a hint of laughter.
Lina immediately understood.
He was enjoying this.
