Such a well-behaved, good-hearted young man.
Alexis grinned, extracting a slim cigarette and nestling it between her lips.
She lit it and trotted toward the door.
She reached the door, only to discover Leonel standing outside. Upon spotting her smoking, his countenance darkened, and he promptly relieved her of the cigarette.

“Look at you, all grown up. I recall you never had these bad habits as a child! Smoking, drinking, cavorting with younger fellows, huh? Alexis, what other revelations do you have that I’m unaware of?”
Still reeling from the effects of alcohol, Alexis reacted sluggishly.
She observed him discard the cigarette, a trace of remorse flickering within her.
Staggering backward, she collapsed onto the sofa.
“I thought you were Calvin!”
Approaching her, Leonel cast a disdainful gaze downward at her.
Alexis donned a white blouse with a tied collar paired with a dark blue knitted fishtail skirt. As she lay sprawled across the sofa, her slender legs were on full display.
Leonel seldom encountered legs as exquisite as hers.
Nonetheless, he harbored no inclination to admire them. Instead, he couldn’t restrain a scoff.
“So, do you thoroughly enjoy his doting service?”
With that remark, he knelt down, brushing aside her hair in an attempt to discern her expression.
Alexis grappled with a pounding headache.
She truly had no desire to contend with Leonel. Rolling over, she lightly patted his handsome visage.
“His service is quite impeccable!
Would you like a detailed account? Ten thousand words, a hundred thousand, I can oblige!”
Leonel clenched his teeth.
“Utterly shameless, aren’t you?”
Alexis chuckled, her delicate fingers tenderly tracing the contours of his handsome face, her voice taking on a softer tone.
“You used to bring home quite a few women. Why haven’t I witnessed any wedding bells for you? If you had to marry them all, how many divorces would you have under your belt by now?”
Her legal acumen rendered her quick-witted and sharp-tongued.
