Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Kind of treatment
He was wearing a black suit, every button fastened with meticulous precision, exuding an air of cool, restrained elegance.
Who would have thought that deep down, this man harbored a sly, mischievous streak?
At that moment, he was looking down, preparing to tie his tie. And the tie he was tying was the very one Alana had bought for him yesterday.
She paused in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to be ready to wear it on the very next day she’d given it to him.
She had assumed he’d merely said he liked it out of politeness, only to set it aside to gather dust in some corner.
But it turned out... he genuinely loved the gift she’d given him.
He truly touched her heart with all those little details.
For a moment, Alana’s heart felt warm.
It felt so heartwarming to be cherished by a man.
Noticing her gaze, the man looked up and beckoned to her, “Come here, help me
tie it.”
Alana walked over instinctively, stood in front of him, took the tie from his hand, and
tied it with great care.
This was the first time she had ever tied a tie for a man.
Although she had never tied one before, she had seen it done.
As if she’d completed a monumental task, her serious expression softened once it was tied, and she couldn’t help but smile.
“All done.”
The next moment, the man’s thin lips pressed against her forehead.
“My girlfriend tied it beautifully. From now on, you’ll be in charge of tying my tie.”
His unhesitating praise made Alana, who was tying a man’s tie for the first time, feel a little giddy.
She nodded instinctively. “Okay.”
Stephan curved his lips and seized the moment to ask, “So, are you thinking of moving in with me?”
If she didn’t move in, how could she take on the job of tying his tie?
Alana gasped.
Oh no, this is a trap!
And a huge one at that!
She bit her lip. “I haven’t made up my mind yet. Let me think it over first.”
Stephan stared at her intently, “I’ve even prepared clothes for you. You still haven’t
made up your mind?”
At the mention of clothes, Alana couldn’t help but pout. “Where did you get clothes for me? You ripped my clothes last night and said you’d compensate me. You still haven’t...”
Before he could finish, the man grabbed her wrist and led her to the walk-in closet.
The moment the walk-in closet opened, she was surprised to discover that it contained not only men’s clothes but also women’s clothes.
Men’s clothes took up half the space, and women’s clothes took up the other half.
And they’re all brand-new, the tags were still on.
Alana was completely taken aback. “W-when did you get these ready?”
“Yesterday. Before you even arrived, I’d already had someone prepare clothes for you.”
It was all premeditated.
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Now she’d spent the whole night sleeping in his shirt.
And she hadn’t been wearing anything underneath, just like that, completely bare,
sleeping next to him all night.
Stephan wouldn’t admit to his little scheme; he curved his lips and said, “If I’d told you earlier, it wouldn’t have been a surprise.”
“So, are you surprised now?”
Facing such a dazzling array of beautiful dresses and clothes, it would be impossible for Alana to say she wasn’t even a little surprised.
After all, she had never seen so many clothes in her entire life.
If she hadn’t been able to earn her own money to buy clothes, most of her wardrobe would have consisted of hand-me-downs.
Abandoned by her parents, she didn’t even dare to ask anyone for new clothes.
When she went to school as a child, she wore hand-me-down clothes, shoes, and bags every day, envying her classmates who could come to school in different new outfits every day.
She, too, wanted to be like the other girls, to have her own, many, many clothes, not just hand-me-downs.
And in this moment, Stephan, this man, had made that dream come true for her.
Alana’s eyes grew slightly moist. She didn’t know what to say; a thousand words swirled in her mind, but in the end, she managed only one sentence.
“Thank you.”
Seeing her reddened eyes, Stephan frowned slightly and couldn’t help but cup her face. “Why are you crying? I didn’t give you these clothes to see you cry.”
It was simply to make her happy.
Alana bit her lip and said, her voice slightly choked, “Stephan, you’re so good to me. I just can’t help it.”
Not even her own parents had ever treated her this well. He was just her boyfriend, why was he being so kind to her?
Wasn’t he afraid she wouldn’t be able to repay him?
Stephan gazed intently at her beautiful eyes and brows, saying earnestly, “I’m your boyfriend. Isn’t it only natural for me to be good to you?”
Besides, he wanted to take her home. If he didn’t treat her well, how could he succeed?
He wasn’t like those freeloaders who take advantage of their girlfriends without treating them well.
If you don’t cherish your own woman, are you just waiting for another man to do it?
In this regard, he was specifically referring to Alana’s ex-boyfriend who was always away on a business trip.
Alana didn’t know what was going through his mind, but his words touched her heart.
Perhaps it had been too long since she’d felt someone’s tenderness toward her; her chest grew warm, and her eyes stung with tears.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him of her own accord. “Thank you. I really like that.”
Stephan’s eyes darkened as he gently wiped the tears welling up at the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
“Then why are you crying?”
Alana blinked, trying hard to hold back the stinging sensation in her eyes.
“It’s tears of joy.”
Stephan curved his lips, affectionately kissing the tear-stained corner of her eye, his voice gentle.
“You little crybaby, don’t cry at the drop of a hat. There will be plenty more moments like this in the future. And from now on, I, your boyfriend, will take care of all your clothes!”
It was a bold yet heartwarming reply.
Alana couldn’t help but smile.
He was so doting, and she loved it.
Who wouldn’t love this kind of domineering, forceful adoration? It turns out that being pampered felt so sweet.
It was impossible to put into words.
**********
Alana got dressed, then had breakfast with Stephan before he drove her to work.
This time, she had gotten the hang of it; before getting out of the car, she gave Stephan a parting kiss.
Stephan’s lips curled into a smile; he was thoroughly enjoying himself. His training had clearly paid off; his girlfriend was getting better and better. In high spirits, he hummed a tune all the way as he drove to the office.
As he walked into the office, he strutted in with confidence.
Many employees could tell Stephan was in a good mood and greeted him warmly. Stephan returned their greetings with a faint smile.
Just as he stepped into the elevator, Vance happened to walk in as well.
With his keen eye, he noticed that the CEO looked a little different today.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that the CEO was wearing a flashy, eye-catching red tie. It was clear that this wasn’t the kind of tie the CEO usually wore.
Even stranger, the tie was slightly askew.
He stepped forward with good intentions,
“CEO, your tie seems to be crooked. Let me fix it for you...”
But before he could get close to Stephan, the CEO gently stepped aside.
“Don’t touch it! My girlfriend tied it for me. Don’t mess it up.”
Vance gasped.
Another crushing blow!
Stephan glanced at Vance and said casually, “She bought this tie for me too. Looks good, doesn’t it?”
“Ahem, ahem, yeah, it’s nice...”
Stephan’s lips curled into a smile. “It’s great to have a girlfriend, she buys you ties
and even ties them for you. Life sure is wonderful.”
And at night, they can snuggle up together under the covers...pure bliss.
“Oh, and she cooked dinner for me last night. It absolutely delicious.”
Vance forced a smile.
“I get it. The CEO’s girlfriend is quite the homemaker.”
Stephan replied nonchalantly, “Wrong. She isn’t just a good wife-to-be, she’s just special to me. Other men don’t get that kind of treatment.”
