The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 246 Keep a Distance

"A little trinket?" Allison asked, her curiosity piqued as she opened the box. Inside was a necklace with a stunning sapphire pendant that looked incredibly expensive. "This is a sapphire, right? How'd you get something this fancy on your trip?"

Alexander chuckled and playfully tapped her nose. "I knew you'd love it, so I went out of my way to find it. It was part of someone's collection, and it took some serious convincing to buy it. Then I had it made into a necklace in Harmony City. There's a gala hosted by the Carter Group and the Bennett Group in a few days. You should wear it then."

Allison nodded. The end of the year was coming up, and preparations for various annual events were in full swing.

The Bennett Group was run by Cleo. While Allison reviewed the financial reports, she didn't get involved in the daily operations.

Allison knew about the annual gala and was aware that the Bennett Group had big plans for it.

"How about I design an outfit for you?" she suggested.

Alexander raised an eyebrow. "You can design clothes?"

Allison nodded, resting her chin in her hands and gazing at Alexander, making his heart skip a beat.

"Finish your meal, and I'll show you my sketches!" she said.

Alexander quickly finished his pasta, clearing his plate.

Allison stood up with a smile, and they walked hand in hand back to Serenity Manor. In the study, Ralph had already left. As Alexander closed the door, he noticed Ralph's lingering gaze from the corner of the room.

Ralph clenched his fists. He still couldn't accept that Allison had a boyfriend.

Back in the study, Allison had her sketchbook out, filled with designs for both women's and men's clothing. Alexander was surprised as he flipped through the pages. "I had no idea you were this talented, Allison!"
