Chapter 51 Just A Friend?

• Alexander's revolving door of female companions was a well-known topic within their circle. Yet, his behavior remained relatively decent; he never backed any woman he’d slept with into a corner. He enjoyed the pleasures of intimacy but never lingered on his conquests.
• Thus, when he saw Natalia at the beauty pageant, he had no intention of troubling her at first. But now, she had provoked him—her dazzling sharpness and prickly attitude were simply too grating for his liking.
• Natalia couldn’t tell if Alexander was bluffing, but she knew one thing: if he had a mind to do so, there was nothing he wouldn’t dare. If he truly went public with their relationship, it would utterly ruin her. Contrary to what she had provocatively claimed earlier, it wouldn’t benefit her at all.
