Chapter 0633

Alden and Serenity exited the Palmer Group building, the tension from their earlier “altercation” significantly eased. Serenity felt more comfortable around him now, while Alden, with his trademark charming smile, continued to catch the admiring glances of every woman they passed in the hallway. Serenity, noticing this, smirked and commented:

“You’re quite the popular guy around here with the ladies.

“I’m just polite,” Alden replied nonchalantly.

“How polite?” Serenity teased, locking her gaze on him.

“Polite enough to know what to say—and what not to.”

“Are you calling me nosy?”

“No. But as they say, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.”

“I wasn’t talking about everyone. I meant the ladies,” she clarified.

“Well, in that case, I don’t talk about them either.”

“But I can see how they look at you, like they’re saying, “Take me now.“”

“Serenity…” Alden said, his composure faltering for the first time. “I’m just a man, and I have… needs. God, what am I saying? Stop getting into my head!”

Serenity laughed as she saw Alden–usually so confident–blushing from the unexpected turn in their conversation.

“You’re adorable, Alden. You’re such a… sweet boy.”

“Sweet boy‘? ‘Boy‘?” he repeated, feigning offense.

“Fine. Man, then,” she corrected with a grin.

As they reached the car waiting for them outside, Serenity’s eyes widened at the sleek, high–performance vehicle.

“Wow! This is… incredible! I’ve seen cars like this at races, but I’ve never been in one. Can I drive it?” she asked, her excitement evident.

“Eh… No, no, no. I don’t let anyone touch my car. It’s a thing of mine.”

Nothing’s going to happen to it.”

“Mmm… still no.”
