Edward and Elizabeth sat next to each other while a young man and a girl sat opposite them

The young man had light blond hair tending to orange, and his body was slim but muscular, while the girl had red hair, but it did not compare to the beauty of Elizabeth's hair.

Alexander sat alone and looked between them with incomprehensible eyes

Elizabeth put the cup of blood down and pointed to the boy and girl

“These are my childhood friends, Rustin Cooper, and Margaret Muller...”

“Nice to meet you...” Alexander extended his hand

Rustin shook his hand with a smile. "The honor is mine, Mr. Alexander."

Alexander pointed to one of the restaurant workers and asked her to bring ten more dishes

"This is more than we can eat..." Edward frowned

"Oh come on, is it possible that you don't know that there is a food lover sitting next to you?"

Alexander looked at Elizabeth, who was putting a pie in her mouth. Elizabeth smiled back while Edward's frown deepened

This is the second time they have encountered Alexander. He really began to suspect that this was not a coincidence and that Alexander was spying on him and monitoring his movements

Edward was going to try to handle this matter himself, but the problem was that Elizabeth was by his side. What worried him most was that Alexander would extend his hand to Elizabeth.

Now Alexander knows of the presence of Rustin and Margaret as well

Alexander must have begun to become aware of his presence because of the clash that occurred during the test

Edward was overcome with remorse at having taken such a rash step. He did not know Alexander's true power or the methods and techniques he possessed

He didn't even know why the system wanted to kill Alexander

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Larry returned with the dishes and placed them on the table

Elizabeth began eating as soon as the plate settled in front of her

Alexander was speechless, this girl is really addicted to sweets

Elizabeth noticed Alexander staring at her, so she smiled embarrassedly as she looked away. "I like sweet things..."

“I am happy to have a loyal client like you, Miss Elizabeth.” Alexander laughed sincerely

Why would he complain about such a customer spending this much money on his products

"Oh..." A sly smile appeared on Elizabeth's face. “In that case, don’t I deserve a discount of some kind?”

“Didn’t you get a special discount for couples?” The corners of Alexander's mouth twitched

Elizabeth ignored his words and immersed herself in her world while eating sweets

"This is an orange-flavored cake. Don't you like this taste.." Margaret was holding a cake and wanted to place it in front of Edward.

"Thanks, but I don't like sweets. You can eat them..." Edward shook his head

“Oh…” Margaret put the cake back on her plate. There was a slight disappointment and some embarrassment on her face. She looked around to get rid of this embarrassment. So she extended the plate to Rustin. "Rustin, do you want it?..."

Rastin nodded, grabbed the cake and placed it in front of him

Alexander, who was observing this simple exchange, narrowed his eyes

There were a lot of dishes in front of Rustin, and yet he accepted the cake that Margaret offered to help her escape the embarrassment.

Alexander took advantage of this opportunity, took a card out of his pocket and pushed it between Rustin and Margaret. “This is a special card for lovers. You will get a discount in all Ford Sweets branches.”

Margaret waved her hands with a shy blush. "We're not dating..."

“Really...” Alexander looked at Rustin

Rastin averted his eyes and made no reply

Well, it seemed uncomfortable... Alexander's mind was full of doubts

Suddenly, Alexander felt someone standing behind him

Alexander tilted his head warily

Sylvia was standing behind him with an emotionless expression. She opened her lips to say something, but Alexander stopped her

“Let me guess...” Alexander closed his eyes as if trying to read her thoughts. “The Academy Council requests my presence, right?”

"..." Sylvia did not answer, but her expression said, 'How do you know this?'

“Sylvia, it seems that you have not realized this yet, but the Academy Council is taking advantage of you. In their eyes, you are...hmm, I don’t know how to say it in a nice way.”

Alexander hesitated for a moment, but then spat out the word he wanted to say. “They consider you like carrier pigeons...”

" What?!." Sylvia's stern expression broke

She was very offended by the term Alexander used

Alexander shook his head vigorously. "It's not what you think. All I'm saying is that you should take advantage of this to ask for a raise. Don't you think that's what you deserve?"

“…” Sylvia didn’t feel any better hearing this

Alexander sighed and got up to leave with Sylvia, but before he left he took out two cards and handed them to Rustin and Margaret. “You will get a discount by using these cards...”

" Thank you..."

"Thank you, Mr. Alexander..."

Rustin and Margaret thanked him

Alexander returned his gaze to Sylvia, who was staring at him with strong eyes and urging him to move. Alexander smiled sarcastically. "Don't be jealous..."

Alexander took her hand and put a discount card in her hand with a wink. "This is a discount for you too..."

“…” Sylvia looked at the card for a moment, then threw it at Alexander

Alexander maintained his smile and turned to Edward and his friends. “I have some work to finish, these fellows in the Academy Council can't stand a single day without seeing me...”

"Keke..." Elizabeth giggled. “You seem very popular.”

“I don’t want this...” Alexander said bitterly as he followed Sylvia

--------------------

Sylvia was walking in front while Alexander was behind her, his head down deep in thought

Sylvia glanced back quickly with slight annoyance on her face. Alexander's heavy steps were provoking her

She thinks Alexander is trying this on purpose to waste her time

Suddenly Alexander stopped walking and a look of sudden realization and shock appeared on his face

" why did you stop?." Sylvia turned to him

Alexander clapped his hands and shouted excitedly. “I know now what that was...it was a love triangle.”

"..." Love triangle?
