Chapter 139 139. Rent A Boyfriend

Alex was sitting on the sofa like a long chair in the back seat of the car, Xiao Bai on his left was busy playing with a shiny necklace, While Grace was still frozen in time.

Alex thought it would be best for her to stay like that as he did not have an extra mask for her.

Front of him, sitting in the arrogant pose, Which every Manhwa CEO heroine sits, And now she was looking at him angrily, still upset over the fact that he called her stupid.

"So get me this straight, You do all that just to find a man to pretend to be your boyfriend? Are you stupi- Never mind."

Alex did not bother to look around in the car but looked at Rebecca and asked her, She told him her reason for doing all that.

Yeah as he guessed it was all an act, and the reason too unfortunately was the same. This woman did all this just to find a suitable man to pretend to be her boyfriend.

That's all intention and motive behind her action, Which stupefied Alex even more.

Even if he considers she wants to find this way and approves of her idea for the sake of argument, he can't wrap his mind around why she did this experiment here, on a though hospital street but kinda secluded place.

Her probability of finding a man to pretend to is much more in other main crowded streets, But now she came here to do her experiment to weed out the ideal man, Which is harder than finding a needle in the haystack.

But who made her the heroine, Even though it was a stupid thing, somehow on the first try encountered him. You can't get anyone better than him, So she is really lucky.

"Hey, You are doing it again, I am not stupid, Didn't it work out? See I have my ideal candidate in front of me."

Rebecca did not like anyone calling her stupid, especially not when the other party is related to Alia, So she stood up and pointed a finger at him with a smirk on her lips as she spoke to Alex.

"*Slam* *Bang* Ouch, Hey watch how you are driving."

But before Alex had arrived to answer her, Car took a sharp turn making her slam on the door frame, And then bang her head on the roof of the car.

She became angry, She turned around and cursed at the driver, Who could not hear her as this part of the car was currently in sound isolation for privacy, Which she herself activated.

"You are the one who stands up in the moving car, Is there even a chance remaining for your defence?"

Alex looked at her with a joke in his void-like eyes and spoke, This woman is exactly the opposite of Alia.

If Alia is cold, heartless, and hard to deal with, Then Rebecca is energetic, Full of empathy and very easygoing.

She is also not dumb. After all, she runs a 100 billion UC-worth company on her own and even increased its value at a shocking rate of 5%, So there is no doubt about her talent or her intelligence.

The only problem is that she is knowingly stupid, As there is a proper good brain but she is too concerned about other things that she most of the time forgets to use it.

Which is again exactly the opposite, Alia did not give her brain a slight break, There is always something cooking in her mind, Always planning on attacks and counters.

Which is a thing he was afraid of before but now, He was terrified of it. Before he was at least able to guess what was cooking in her mind but now he did not have even a slight idea about it.

He had to take care of her before she did something unthinkable.

"Alex drop these useless things, Now I want to propose that I want to rent you as a boyfriend, 1 Million a day, I want you for 10 days."

Rebecca was embarrassed, She really lost her position to defend herself after she made the foolish mistakes.

So she dropped the topic and changed the subject. She wanted to deal with these things quickly, so she could go and fawn in front of Alia.

Her face at that time should be worth every penny, That's why she also offered a generous price. Anyway, this much money means nothing to her, And she was not even lost.

Getting Alex like a boyfriend for 10 days for 10 million is a steal of a deal, Any other woman would kill to get an offer like this one.

"....Who do you think I am? 10 million? You wanted me to be your boyfriend for 10 million? Am I that cheap of a person in your eyes? It's okay when others say it but you know me and say this hurts me a lot, You know."

Alex, hearing her offer, opened his eyes wide. There was a pain and betrayal expression on his face. He looked like he was really hurt by her words, only dignity was a thing helping him hold back his tears.

Rebecca sees him as this regret. She judged him like he was green tea like before but she should have been clear after that song. He was not a gold miner, He is just a guy too ignorant of how his actions are seen in other's eyes.

So he asked him to be her boyfriend. It really looked bad, Especially when she did not mention that they only had to act in front of others, So there selling their body business here.

She was sure he had misunderstood her, This deal does sound more like a prostitution kinda deal.

"Alex you misunderstood, No I am sorry, I should have not said something like that after knowing you, Please forgive me."

Rebecca at first wanted to clear the misunderstanding of his but she stopped her as this looked like a justification, Which is not the right approach right now.

She dropped the idea of explaining and apologising to him. She really can't bear to see that look on his face. It hurt her physically to look at him.

"Yeah, You better apologise and ask forgiveness, How long since you knew me, And yet you did not understand me a bit."

Alex looked at her helplessly with her in his voice, Rebecca hung her head down in shame and guilt for hurting him this much.

She did not have any intention to hurt him, It was a thing she saw in the S-dramas and thought it might work for her, So she decided to try it out.

She did not consider the dignity and self-respect of men. For a woman, it might not be a big deal but men take their self-respect seriously. They protect their bodies and names like precious jewels.

So she really should have hurt him with her words. She indirectly called him to call an escort, Which a self-respecting man can take.

"Sorry..."

She once again muttered sorry for her action, Speaking without thinking is really quite destructive.

"You better be, After all, how can you offer me a mere 1 million? You can't buy shit from it, At least it has to be 5-no 10 million for a man like me, But hey who made me this big-hearted, You are forgiven for your sin and as you are an old friend of mine, You get discount, You just had to pay 9.999 million."

Alex, seeing Rebecca really regretting it, became satisfied. After all, He indeed felt insulted when she offered a mere 1 million for a day.

How can a man with his calibre sell himself for 1 million? It at least should be 10 million, didn't it? Anything less did not justify the price for him.

So he really as Rebecca thought was hurt getting insulted like that, Which too directly attacked on his looks, Which he can't bear.

"....Give it back."

Rebecca was stunned hearing his words and became speechless for a while and when she came back to her senses, She only spoke these words bringing her teeth.

"Huh!? What do I give back? I did not take from you anything, Oh wait?! You can't take back the necklace it was given as a gift and she likes it. If you want, You need to pay at least 100 million."

Alex got confused hearing her words, He really did not understand what she was talking about, and He did not take anything from her.

But then he realised he did take her necklace from her, So he thought she wanted that back, which he can't give for free at all, After all Xiao Bai liked it.

But if Rebecca gives 100 million for it then he will gladly give it back, As with 100 million he can buy lots of shiny things for Xiao Bai and he can also get extra pocket money.

The 13.07 billion UC of his he saved to start a business and he also did not ask for money from Amara or Isabella, So he was a little tight on the pocket.

"Bastard, Give me back my sympathy, Ahhh!!"

Rebecca lost it, She did not care about it anymore, When she was done speaking she jumped on him bearing her claws out.

'What did I do?'.

It was the only thought on Alex's mind before Rebecca jumped on him.

(A/N : I know it became slow paced but the new heroine also needs her soul, later I add number one (Bodyguard) as compensation.

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ????.)
