Chapter 44: Damn Man, Peeking!
“Ms. Sterling, please make yourself at home here. If you need anything, just let me know.”
With that, Aunt Audrey respectfully withdrew, carefully closing the door
behind her.
Isabella cracked the door open and
peeked out, only to meet a pair of
brown eyes.
That leopard!
Heaven knows if the Windsors had
fed it today.
Isabella quickly shut the door and
dejectedly returned to the room,
cursing Alexander dozens of times in
her heart.
She had thought that after cutting

ties with the Sterlings, she could be herself again. Now it seemed she had escaped the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair.
She feared that even after curing Master Windsor’s illness, Alexander still wouldn’t let her go. By then, she wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
The more Isabella thought about it, the angrier she got, to the point that she was still mulling over it while taking a shower. As a result, her foot slipped and she tumbled backwards. onto the floor with a thud.
Alexander, in the study, heard an ear–splitting scream from next door. His brow furrowed fiercely as he
strode to Isabella’s room.
Damn it, the door was locked from
the inside.
“Isabella, what the hell are you up

to?!”
He knocked several times, but there
was no response. Only then did Alexander realize something was
wrong.
Sebastian quickly fetched the spare key and unlocked the door.
The faucet in the bathroom was still
running, steam filling the entire room like a fairyland.
And there on the bathroom floor,
amidst the mist, lay a pale white figure…
“Close your eyes.”
Alexander said coldly. Sebastian, standing behind him, was utterly baffled, not knowing what had happened, but could only comply.
The next second, a large foot kicked
him.

“Get out and close the door.”
Just like that, Sebastian was booted out by his boss. He stood at the door, looking rather aggrieved.
Alexander looked at Isabella lying on the bathroom floor with derision. This woman was truly foolish,
managing to knock herself out while taking a shower.
He turned off the water, casually grabbed a towel to cover Isabella,
then scooped her up in his arms.
Scowling, he tossed her onto the bed. Glancing at the still unconscious
Isabella, his brow furrowed again.
She was still out cold. Could she have
seriously injured herself?
“Sebastian, call the doctor.”
Sebastian, waiting at the door,
immediately summoned the private

physician.
As soon as the doctor entered the
room and saw Alexander by the bed and Isabella lying on it, he was startled.
What had the young master done to this poor girl?
“Come and examine her properly. If anything happens to her, you won’t
live to see another day.”
Alexander’s icy tone sent a shiver
down the doctor’s spine. He quickly
set his medical kit on the bedside
table, looking rather miserable.
It was indeed like accompanying a tiger, having to watch his every
move.
Taking the stethoscope from the kit, he was about to place it on Isabella’s chest when he suddenly felt
someone’s fiery gaze, as if scorching

the back of his hand. Frightened, he
hastily withdrew his hand.
“Don’t let me catch you making any inappropriate moves.”
Alexander’s voice was like sharp glass shards, making the doctor tremble.
Since the stethoscope was off–limits, he could only try taking her pulse.
Her pulse was normal.
Alexander pulled up a chair and sat
by the bed, his gaze occasionally falling on the doctor, whose heart kept leaping into his throat.
It seemed Isabella was fine, but if he
just left it at that, the young master definitely wouldn’t be satisfied.
Finally, the doctor found a small bump on Isabella’s head. She must
have hit it on the floor when she fell.
He breathed a sigh of relief.

“Young master, she’s just knocked out. She’ll be fine in a bit.”
Alexander gave a faint nod and
waved for them to leave.
In a flash, only he and Isabella
remained in the room. He stood up
and leaned in closer.
Since she was fine, why wasn’t this wretched woman waking up? Could she be faking it?
Just as he was thinking this, Isabella’s eyes suddenly flew open, and the first thing she saw was that
devastatingly handsome face nearly pressed against her own.
After a moment of shock, a blush rapidly crept up from her neck to
her entire face.
“What… what are you doing?!”
Although Isabella was awake,

Alexander showed no intention of
leaving, his deep eyes eyeing the
woman before him with
amusement.
She could knock herself out just taking a shower. Was this woman’s
head only there to make up her
height?
Of course, Isabella had no idea what Alexander was thinking. Feeling a chill on her body and in this situation, she couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.
“Alexander, get out!”
Saying this, she pointed at the door, looking fierce, as if forgetting that
Alexander was the master here.
“Nothing much to see anyway.”
Alexander said this in a nonchalant
tone, but there was a hint of
mockery in his words.

Isabella instantly exploded. At this age, she was fully developed in all the right places. Although on the
slender side, she had curves where it
mattered!
She was tempted to rip off the towel
and let him get a good look with his dog eyes.
Wait, towel?!
Hadn’t she passed out while taking a
shower?
Damn it, Alexander!!!
Realizing that this bastard had seen
her body in all its glory, Isabella
wished she could find a wall to bash
her brains out.
But when she looked up, Alexander was already sauntering to the door.
“Damn man, peeking!”
Isabella cursed fiercely, but her only

response was the heavy slam of the door.
The back of her head still ached.
Isabella gingerly rubbed it, finally feeling a bit better.
This Alexander was a walking
disaster. Nothing good ever came from encountering him. But she couldn’t even avoid him, as this plague always managed to find her.
The worst part was that even in her dreams, it was Alexander. But in the dream, Isabella had given Alexander a good thrashing, which had taken the edge off her anger.
Early the next morning, by the time Isabella got up, Aunt Audrey had
already prepared breakfast.
Alexander sat at the dining table, a cup of coffee in his right hand and a newspaper in his left.

face calm. But the Windsor staff
knew that this demeanor was just the calm before the storm.
Aunt Audrey quickly stepped
forward. “Ms. Sterling, do you know how many people would kill to go to the young master’s company? If you go, wouldn’t that make you the lady of the house?”
Alexander looked up, his brow slightly furrowed. After a long moment, he uttered two words.
“Shut up.”
