Chapter 249 Joyce is Rescued

Alexander gently caressed Sophia's cheek, his handsome face inching closer, eyes twinkling, and a faint smile on his lips.

His warm breath brushed her face, making her heart race.

Just as their lips were about to meet, Sophia snapped back to reality and blocked his lips with her hand. "Trying to take advantage of me? Dream on!" Alexander raised an eyebrow. "You think the compensation I mentioned was a kiss?"

Sophia replied, "Isn't it?"

Alexander chuckled. "I was actually going to ask you to cook for me, but if it's this way, I can reluctantly accept it."

He leaned in to kiss her again.

Sophia, blushing, quickly broke free. "Forget it! Wait here, I'll go see if there's anything to eat."

She turned and left.

As the door closed, Alexander touched his lips and smiled. "Silly girl, that's exactly the kind of compensation I wanted."Joyce felt like she had a long dream.
