Alexander could not resist teasing her.
"So if there's no one around, can we hold hands?"
Lina answered without thinking.
"It won't work without someone."
The moment the words left her mouth, she realised how they sounded.
She looked at him.
Alexander was already watching her with an amused expression.
Then, unexpectedly, his tone softened.
"Is it really not allowed?"
There was a faint note of grievance in his voice.
Lina paused.
Alexander had always carried himself with a quiet confidence that made people instinctively give way to him. Whether he was dealing with business partners, employees or people from the entertainment industry, he rarely appeared uncertain about what he wanted.
Seeing even the slightest hint of complaint from him was strangely disarming.
Especially when it was directed at her.
Lina's resolve lasted only a few seconds.
"Fine... alright."
Alexander smiled immediately.
Lina narrowed her eyes.
