“Ha! What exactly is our relationship?

Am I obliged to report my every move to you? Besides, you never told me when you decided to start dating someone else, did you? Leonel, we've been intimate twice, but we're both free. I won't interfere in your affairs, so please refrain from meddling in my personal life, alright?"

"Alexis!"

Leonel's voice carried a despondent undertone.

"Do I mean nothing to you?"

Alexis proceeded to seek out someone else without hesitation.

She was acutely aware of Leonel's anxiety.

With Calvin's recent accident weighing on her mind, Alexis found herself in a foul mood. Having to contend with Leonel's accusations only soured her disposition further. She huffed in response, “Yes.

You mean nothing to me."

With that, she swiftly ended the call and proceeded through airport security.

Her destination was bound to Yarmse.

Calvin had suffered grave injuries in the shooting, with no relatives to turn to. As his lawyer, Alexis had to take on the responsibility of signing some forms for him.

She remained in Yarmse for a week before making her return to Duefron.

Alexis had diligently coordinated with a hospital for Calvin's care; he was expected to stay there for approximately three months.

Fortunately, his youth offered hope for a full recovery without lasting complications.

When her work was finally concluded, nearly half a month had passed.

Exiting her law office, Alexis headed home, arriving at her apartment building. Upon stepping out of the elevator, she was met with the sight of Leonel.

He sported a black windbreaker, leaning casually against the wall while indulging in a cigarette.

His tall and handsome appearance drew her attention for a fleeting moment .

Alexis swiped her keycard to access her door and inquired casually, “What brings you here again? Haven't we settled this?"
