Chapter: 97
When she noticed the stern look on Caden's face, she suppressed a silent laugh.
This was perfect.
She realized she had chosen the ideal gift.
Maintaining a gentle demeanor, she said, “Knowing you're particular, Mr. Ward, I made sure to pick the most expensive ones."
Gerry couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You're the only one daring enough to give Caden something Like this," he said.
Alicia blinked and turned her gaze to Caden.
She offered a bright smile. “Perhaps it's a bit presumptuous, but we're all quite familiar now. Practical gifts are best, don't you agree? Do you like it, Mr. Ward?"
Caden's face remained unreadable.
He stared at her for several seconds. Then he reached out and took the bag. “I like it. It's exactly what I need," he replied.
Alicia's smile faltered for a moment.
Instead of fearing that Caden might lose his temper, she worried more about his hidden intentions behind a friendly facade.
Who could predict the underhanded tricks he might use in retaliation?
Without hesitation, Caden opened one of the boxes, snapped off two pills, and washed them down with a sip of wine.
Alicia felt a sudden jolt of surprise.
Gerry stared in disbelief. “Seriously, Caden? You're actually taking those?"
Caden maintained a stoic expression. Wine lingered on his Lips, enhancing his dangerous allure.
He swallowed and fixed a sharp gaze on Alicia. "Miss Bennett, you have excellent taste. These go down smoothly."
A tingling sensation crept over Alicia as he looked at her.
Her confidence evaporated, leaving her speechless.
Well, it appeared she had gotten herself into serious trouble.
Gerry was incredulous. He grabbed the box and inspected it carefully.
There was no doubt what it was. It was definitely Viagra.
He couldn't help but be amazed at Caden's daring nature. "You're unbelievable, Caden. The instructions recommend one pill per day, and you just took two at once. Aren't you afraid you'll be up all night?"
Caden casually lifted his hand and undid two buttons on his collar.
Alicia's eyes caught the glimpse of skin revealed beneath his unbuttoned shirt, and she found herself drawn to his well-defined pecs.
She quickly averted her gaze.
She tried to ignore him, but his voice broke through. "Staying up all night might be overstating it, but five or six times isn't a problem."
Gerry leaned in with curiosity. "You sound like you know from experience. When was your last time?"
Caden let out a soft chuckle, making sure Alicia heard it.
Her heart raced inside her chest. She grabbed a bottle without checking its contents and began to pour.
