Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1085 - 1081: The Petty Man
Alexander Zimmerman was checking Beatrice Hargrave’s shoulder strap at that moment, because there was a noticeable loose thread. As the concert supervisor, he couldn’t allow any mistakes to occur.
And when Beatrice instinctively backed away, most of the water spilled from the cup ended up splashing all over Alexander’s chest, shirt, and... pants. The prominent parts of his body were almost all drenched.
When Nicholas Croft entered the stadium, the scene he saw was Alexander tugging at Beatrice’s shoulder. His dark eyes tightened, and his handsome face grew increasingly gloomy.
A few days ago, some staff in the company were secretly gossiping that the company’s musical prodigy seemed interested in Beatrice. He patiently guided her on how to sing the songs, and when Beatrice fell asleep exhausted in the recording studio, he even took off his coat and draped it over her...
Alexander regards music as his life; after entering the industry for years, he’s only had one girlfriend because he was so focused on music that he neglected her. So they broke up, and since then, I’ve never seen him pursue any woman again, and he has also rejected women who admire his talent and actively pursue him.
A man with a solitary personality seldom interacts with others in the company, and as for caring about a colleague, that’s simply impossible.
Now, not only does he care for his woman in every possible way, but he even made a move in front of everyone. Nicholas walked slowly towards the stage, with his narrowed, dark eyes fixated on the two people near the stage.
Because she spilled water on Alexander due to her mistake, the swollen herbs in the cup had also splashed on him. Beatrice kept apologizing while hurriedly helping him wipe away the water.
However, Alexander kept saying, "It’s nothing," while fending off her attempts, grabbing Beatrice’s wrist holding the cup to prevent more water from splashing onto him, and instinctively moving back a bit.
In the chaos, Beatrice didn’t notice the situation, but Nicholas, seeing his woman’s small hand brush across Alexander’s exposed chest, finally couldn’t hold back his temper any longer and coldly called from afar, "Mie!"
Beatrice...
Suddenly stopped, instinctively pulling out her wrist from Alexander’s grip and even taking a step back. The two maintained a safe distance, standing there and gazing at the man slowly walking towards her, inwardly thinking this didn’t bode well. She knew from experience how petty Uncle Nicholas could be.
Once, while singing at a night venue, just because she joked a few times with a waiter, and then... the waiter disappeared, and she herself got severely "educated" by this petty man for an entire night.
Alexander didn’t leave either. He slightly lowered his eyes, watching his boss approaching.
At this moment, Nicholas’s handsome face was filled with gloom, his displeasure written all over it.
"Uncle, Uncle, you’re here," Beatrice chuckled awkwardly, looking up at the man standing in front of her. Nicholas’s expression didn’t change much as he gazed down at her and coldly said, "Why, did I come at a bad time?"
Beatrice secretly took a deep breath, reached out to affectionately grab Nicholas’s hand, while Alexander, due to Beatrice’s affectionate gesture, turned his head aside, a look of obvious disdain on his unruly face.
Nicholas, of course, noticed Alexander’s gesture. He turned his handsome face, slightly raised his brows with contempt, "Why, are you moonlighting as Mie’s assistant now?"
