Chapter 355  Public Displays of Affection

And because of that, he took the girl out to a restaurant that was near the movie theater. Once seated down at their booth, Alex asked the girl if she had enjoyed herself so far.

"So, how did you enjoy your visit to the Zoo?"

By now the two of them had been served drinks, and Mimi was currently sipping through her straw when Alex asked this question. Because of this, she nearly choked on her drink and coughed ever so slightly before regaining her composure.

Once she had done this, the girl quickly wore a smile and nodded her head. Her words left more a mark on Alex than he initially expected them to.

"It was like a dream come true! I have wanted to get away from the business for some time now, and go out with just the two of us… It\'s just something that I haven\'t been able to do until now…" Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

The sheepish expression on the young woman\'s adorable face was enough to make even Alex\'s icy heart melt ever so slightly, just enough to skip an extra beat before he was able to recover from this strange state of emotion, and return to his usual self.

Alex forced a cough to distract from his slightly red cheeks, as he responded to Mimi\'s words while gripping her hand and making her a promise.

"I know I have been busy lately, and haven\'t had enough time to spend with you and the others. But things have changed, and from now on I promise to be more involved with your life."

This was the same promise that Alex had made to several other women before Mimi, and one he had yet to fully keep. But with his current little intermission, he figured it was a reasonable time for him to do so. And thus he fully meant every word he said.

Not that it really mattered, but it was also a convenient excuse to avoid the sudden surge of emotions that he had felt when Mimi admitted to him that he had fulfilled one of her dreams. Emotions that were normal for most people with a healthy state of mind to feel, especially when they were in love.

But to someone like Alex, who had endured enough trauma in both lives to break a normal man, or in his case turn him into a Bona fide sociopath, these sudden feelings were nothing but strange, and honestly, deeply confusing.

It was with this in mind that he was happy to shun these sudden emotions and latch onto anything that could distract him from them long enough for them to slowly subside. Which is exactly what happened as Mimi smiled and nodded her head, vowing to hold Alex to the promise he just made with a trusting but playful tone in her voice.

"I\'ll hold you to those words!"

This caused Alex to force a chuckle as he confirmed that he would fulfil them in a lighthearted manner.

"I\'m glad to hear that!\'

Shortly thereafter, the meals which they had ordered were brought out by the waitress. Who was a young, and rather good looking woman that seemed to take a liking to Alex. But the moment she turned away, she frowned, not because of anything Alex did. But because such a handsome man was already taken by a woman who was infinitely superior in the looks department than herself.

This was something that Mimi was oblivious to, but Alex noticed, causing his smile to smoothen out as he eyed the waitress cautiously. A gesture which was mistaken by Mimi for sexual interest causing her to pout, as she released Alex\'s hand and crossed her arms while looking away from the man. All the while she closed her eyes, but opened one ever so slightly to make sure Alex had noticed her disproving stance.

At first Alex did not notice Mimi\'s pouting, but when he turned back to her, he saw how the girl was acting, causing him to sigh heavily and reassure the girl that his piercing gaze was not what she thought. He did this by patting the girl\'s silky black hair and speaking to her as if she were a misbehaving child.

"Honestly, Mimi, what am I going to do with you? Are you really so jealous of that? I promise you it\'s not what you think…"

Mimi didn\'t believe this remark, and continued to pout, while lecturing Alex on his adulterous proclivities.

"Here you are on a date with me, and you have the nerve to look at another woman! I thought today was supposed to be about me!?!"

Alex sighed, it was clear that nothing he would say would get through to the woman, and while he shook his head, she continued to ramble on.

"I mean honestly Alex, if I didn\'t love you so-"

But before she could finish her rant, Alex leaned in and kissed the girl. An act that caused all attention to fall on them. Naturally in such a scandalous state, one that could end her career if people figured out who she was. Mimi flushed in embarrassment, her mind temporarily shutting down as she stammered in incoherence.

"Muh… Uh… I…."

Alex then leaned in with a wicked smile on his face and whispered to the girl in a voice resembling the devil when he tempted a pure young maiden into committing wicked acts.

"Relax… Nobody knows who you are. To them, we\'re just two random people of no importance. Now that I have your attention, do you believe me now?"

Alex then returned to his side of the table without saying a single word, and instead just smugly staring at the girl across from him, whose face had become as red as a strawberry. In a voice so low, Alex almost didn\'t hear it, she admitted that she now believed the man\'s attention was fully on her.

"I… I believe…."
