With his new look, Alex Joe appeared radiant and refreshed. Especially with the high-tech, ultra-luxury steering wheel in his hands, he exuded an indescribable aura of nobility.
"Hey? Julia, why are you taking pictures of me?" Alex asked, puzzled, turning to look at Julia.
"Hehe, you look so handsome when you're driving. I just wanted to take a picture!" Julia smiled sweetly, her tone flirtatious, making Alex feel elated.
"Really? Then take as many as you want! I won't charge you any royalties!" Alex replied, grinning.
Julia giggled, her eyes fixed on her phone screen as she checked the reactions in their work group chat.
The chat was quiet for a moment before someone timidly spoke up. "Hey, is that Julia boyfriend? What kind of car is he driving?"
Snap!
Soon, someone posted a picture in the group.
A Koenigsegg One!
A globally limited edition supercar, priced at over a billion shillings!
Gasp...
The colleagues in the group couldn't help but take a sharp breath, each one stunned and wide-eyed.
Oh my gosh!
A globally limited edition supercar worth a billion shillings!
What kind of amazing boyfriend did Julia find?This was too shocking!
Patrick's eyes turned red with envy, equally shocked and nervous. If the Alex in the photo was really Julia boyfriend, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly at tonight's party, no matter how tempted he was!
You should know that Patrick's father's financial company only had assets worth around a billion dollars.
As the heir, Patrick usually drove luxury cars like Mercedes or BMWs worth a few hundred thousand dollars.
But Alex Joe supercar was worth a tenth of the Wood Family financial company's assets, a car only true top-tier billionaires could afford.
They were on completely different levels!
"My boyfriend will be dropping me off at my hotelsoon. If you don't believe me, just wait and see for yourselves!" Julia posted in the group chat again.
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap!
Patrick's heart trembled violently. He put down his phone weakly, biting his lip so hard that it started to bleed.
It was over!
It had to be true this time!
The other colleagues in the group chat exchanged glances, half-believing and half-doubting.
They all rushed out of the private room and headed to the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel to see for themselves.
Half an hour later, Alex Reed drove a silver-whiteKoenigsegg One into the Four Seasons Hotel, parking at the entrance of the lobby.
"Old classmate, we're here!" Julia said as she gracefully stepped out of the passenger seat.
Her long legs in sheer stockings caught Alex eye.
Wow, no wonder she was the most stunning beauty in college. That figure was simply perfect.
"Wow, look everyone! Julia boyfriend really showed up in that Koenigsegg!"
At that moment, julia colleagues were gathered in the hotel lobby, pointing and shouting excitedly through the glass at the entrance.
"Oh my gosh, so Julia was telling the truth. She really has a boyfriend!"
"Goodness, that car is worth a whole billion! And there's only one in the entire country!"
"No wonder Julia old classmate started pursuing her again these past few days, and she agreed right away. If it were me, I'd say yes too!"
"I thought Mr. Patrick was already rich, but it turns out there's always someone richer!"
Someone accidentally spoke the harsh truth, causing the temperature around them to drop, and the entire room fell silent.
Patrick's face turned as dark as coal, his eyes glaring venomously at Alex Joe in the driver's seat.
"What a joke!"
"I don't believe for a second that a super-rich guy like him would be interested in julia!"
"Guys like him go for top-tier celebrities andsupermodels, not ordinary office workers."
Hearing this, the sycophants around him nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Patrick makes a good point! That rich kid is young, wealthy, and handsome. Why would he go for Julia when he could have a famous actress?"
"Exactly, I think Julia just got an old classmate to put on a show. It can't be real!"
"Look at Julia and that handsome guy. There's no intimacy between them at all. They look completely unfamiliar!"
At that moment, Julia glanced at the colleagues sneaking peeks from the hotel lobby. She walked around the front of the sports car, bent her slender waist, and smiled at Alex Joe in the driver's seat."Alex, thanks for giving me a ride!"
"Here, I'm a bit short on cash, so take this as the fare!"
With that, Julia extended her delicate hand, cupped Berloff's handsome face, and planted a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth with her rosy lips.
Snap!
Patrick, standing not far away, felt his heart clench painfully, his fragile emotions shattering instantly. The other colleagues were left speechless, their eyes wide with shock.
They had just been saying that Julia and Alex didn't look like a couple, and now here they were, witnessing a goodbye kiss right in front of them. The slap to their faces was loud and clear.
Alex eyes widened, stunned by the unexpected kiss. What was going on?
The university beauty he had secretly admired for years had just kissed him out of the blue. The sensation was intoxicating.
"Bye, Alex! Let's catch up sometime!"
Julia waved at Berloff with a flirtatious smile before jogging into the Four Seasons Hotel.
Alex touched the corner of his mouth thoughtfully, then broke into a wide grin, feeling like he was on cloud nine.
"Hehe, driving a supercar really makes a difference!"
"Look, even the school beauty kissed me voluntarily!"
Vroom
With a beaming smile, he started the car and sped
away from the Four Seasons Hotel.
Inside the hotel lobby, his colleagues finally snapped out of their daze and began chattering noisily.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder Julia was so indifferent to Mr. Patrick. Turns out she likes super-rich guys!"
"I'm so jealous! Julia has snagged herself a golden goose!"
"If she holds onto that handsome guy, she'll soon marry into a wealthy family and live a life of luxury!"
Nearby, Patrick's face turned ashen.
The female colleague he had been pursuing for over a month was snatched away just like that, and he was seething with anger.
Unfortunately, no matter how upset he was, Patrick didn't dare to bother Finley anymore.Are you kidding?
That was a global top-tier supercar worth over a billion!
Even a single tire might cost more than Patrick's newly bought Audi coupe.
A young car owner like that must have an incredible background, far beyond what a third-rate playboy like Patrick could handle.As for Julia, the woman of such a big shot, she was someone Patrick had to treat with utmost care.
From now on, not only could he not use his power to oppress Julia, but Patrick might even have to grovel to ensure she wasn't mistreated under his watch.
Otherwise, the entire Wood family might be in trouble!
Click, click, click...
At that moment, Julia Wood walked in, her high heels clicking against the floor as she approached her colleagues with a radiant smile.
A group of girls immediately surrounded her, each wearing a fawning expression.
"Julia, your boyfriend is such a big shot! That car is worth a whole million dollars!""And he's so young and handsome, like a prince!"
"Julia, what does he do? Why did he leave so quickly? Can you introduce him to us sometime?"
Faced with the barrage of questions from her female colleagues, Julia just smiled calmly and said nothing.
In truth, she was also curious about what her old classmate, Alex Joe, was up to these days.
