Chapter 248 Oasis Club.

Inside one of the exclusive private rooms, men and women draped themselves lazily over the plush sofas, their laughter mingling with the sound of clinking glasses.

Alexander sat sprawled in a corner, his legs propped arrogantly on the low table before him.

On either side, two women in skimpy dresses hovered attentively, one pouring his drink while the other lit his cigarette.

He smirked and reached out, brushing his fingers lightly against one woman’s cheek before abruptly dousing her with the wine she had just handed him.

The girl froze, her surprise evident for only a fleeting second before she forced a coquettish smile.

“If you enjoy seeing me wet, Alexander, why don’t we take this to the rooftop pool? One glass isn’t enough to be fun.”

Alexander chuckled darkly, patting her cheek again.

“Feisty.

I like that.” He pulled out his phone and transferred her a small tip.

He took out his frustration from his earlier encounter with Elizabeth on these hostesses.

“Go clean up.

Don’t let your mess ruin my suit,” he said, exhaling a puff of smoke as he waved her away.

The girl left the room with a strained smile, but as soon as she was out of earshot, she muttered under her breath, “Cheapskate.”

In a club as upscale as this, tips like his were laughable.

Her thoughts wandered to Elijah—unapproachable, composed, and disinterested in women like her—but always generous.

Getting picked by Alexander Crawford tonight was rotten luck.

She looked at her alcohol-soaked dress, which had cost more than his stingy tip.
