Alex turned the engine of her bike off the moment she had turned and parked it by the alley outside at the back of the diner’s building late in the afternoon. She took off her helmet and shook her hair and then run a hand over it.She pulled her phone out from her jacket and read a message that came from Damon, who a few hours ago had called her and informed her that he’ll be heading out the diner for a while. She sent him a message before dismounting on her bike. After making sure that it is secured, she walked towards the back entrance and pushed the metal door gently, immediately smelling freshly baked muffins from the kitchen.“Hi, sweetheart!” Her aunt called out as she transferred the tray, she pulled out from the oven towards the cooling shelf. “Got some orders to be picked up tonight and made extra for you. It’s right over that counter.”Alex smiled at her gratefully as she placed her helmet on the shelf near the door.“Where’s Ash?” She asked after reaching for one muffin and

Alex stared out at the window from her room the following day after waking up and taking a shower on her usual time. However, instead of heading down to help open the diner, she stayed inside her room until it was already ten in the morning.Montgomery made several calls to her phone but she ignored it, ultimately blocking his number out of anger. She fully blamed him for putting his nose into her affairs and trying to be the better person.A message notification came from her phone and she checked to see who sent the message.“I’ll be there in less than ten minutes,” Damon said in his message.Finally going out of her room, Alex went down the stairs and swallowing a heavy sigh, she pushed the doors towards the dining area. To her surprise, she saw to her anger, Zach together with Mark and Gavin, Malcolm and two of his personnel, their Aunt Vicky, Ashley, their real father and someone she doesn’t know.There was a crowd, looking curiously and intently through the glass outside and fla

Zach pushed the door to his office angrily, removing his coat and throwing it towards his chair and not minding that it fell to the floor. His eyes burned with rage as he got a call from Worthington and was informed that Alex has been removed from the bureau, effective immediately. He wasn’t given a chance to know the reason and that infuriated him. He remembered watching with anger, jealousy and confusion as Alex walked out of the diner with that arrogant Buchanan after her stepfather had told her to. “Are you telling me that Alex knows you’re alive all this time?!” Ashley asked accusingly. She looked at Edward Bishop in confusion. “What are you trying to say, dad?! Why does Alex have to staged mom’s death? I want to understand! Don’t keep secrets like Alex is doing!” Edward Bishop walked towards Ashley and squatted in front of her. “Enemies from overseas came here with a mark on my head, Ashley,” he explained patiently and he placed an assuring hand on Ashley’s when she turned pa

Alex, pulling her jacket over her front went through the revolving doors of Gallagher Enterprise and proceeded towards the reception counter the following day. She took off her cap and smiled calmly at the available receptionist, who only looked at her up and down. “Pick up or delivery should be towards your left,” she told Alex calmly. She placed a clipboard on top of the counter with a pen attached on it. “You just need to sign here so I can give you an ID pass.” “Um, no,” Alex responded patiently. She pulled out her ID. “I’m here to see Cameron Gallagher please.” “Do you have an appointment with Mr. Gallagher?” The receptionist asked, glancing at her computer while reaching for Alex’s ID. She typed her name and waited for the database to respond. “I’m sorry. But your name is not on Mr. Gallagher’s calendar for today. Would you like me to book an appointment for you? He has an available slot on Friday afternoon. Though I have to inform you that this will be for approval. Mr. Galla

Alex stared into the night the following evening, with her arms crossed over her chest as she listened from the sound inside as a news reporter recounted the details of another assassination attempt at Cameron Gallagher from the TV.“You already set out to warn him,” Damon snapped at her hardly when he caught her about to leave the house a few hours ago, where they are staying in. “If he does not take your warning seriously, then it’s no longer your concern. Marshall doesn’t want to risk exposing you further.”“I’m going there to give him a piece of my mind!” She retaliated.“Don’t tell me that you’re starting to care for him, Alex,” he mocked bluntly.Alex only cursed at him angrily.Damon gave her a hard look and turned his back on her when his phone rang. He answered the call and listened to the caller before hearing him curse and ending the call.“Colton’s in the company’s server and tracking the mole,” he relayed to her seriously. He walked towards the ref and pulled out two bott

Zach went out of his car after parking across the street from the address that Worthington had given him last night. He looked around the vicinity and crossed the street, walking along the block and staring down at the brochure he is holding.The brochure is about a certain property that is owned by Buchanan Holdings and Zach had to hold himself well in order not to crumple the paper angrily. Just the thought of the man instantly rose his anger. The man that Alex puts her trust the most and Zach found himself getting riled up with jealousy.He hadn’t slept well.Not since those three wild nights he had spent with Alex. His desire only furthered especially when she just casually walked out on him as if nothing had happened. He couldn’t stop thinking about her since.Jacinta had called him up a couple of times and Zach found himself being less responsive. Thinking about it, he felt guilty for the cold treatment that he has been giving her and told himself to make it up with her when she

Alex looked at herself in the mirror, studying the black, fitted sequin gown that she is wearing that night. The dress is long sleeve but it didn’t distract the physical attributes that she possesses. She put on some brown contact lenses to conceal her eye color and had her very short, black hair brushed up.Tonight, their team as well as Zach’s will be entering Gallagher Enterprise to hack through the system. After finding out that Cameron will be hosting a party tonight with some VIPs, investors and his board of trustees in the building, Alex immediately informed her father and Damon. A plan was then laid out and after she met with Director Worthington and Zach, she set out on a quick shopping spree for her role tonight.She applied light make-up on her face but put on a dark, red lipstick.She looked simple but alluring.“Montgomery might be in a mood tonight, if I may say.”Turning around, she saw Damon leaning on the doorway, with his hands in his pockets and looking at her inte

Zach watched with cold eyes as another man in his fifties approached Alex and introduced himself to her, ignoring the fact that he is beside her. He casually turned towards a waiter and took two champagne flutes and handed one to her after she shook the man’s hand.“This is Zachary Montgomery, Mr. Brooks,” Alex introduced patiently. She smiled at Zach charmingly. “Babe, Mr. Brooks is into real estate and development. He’s currently developing a commercial complex due north.”“It’s a pleasure, Mr. Brooks,” Zach said tightly, shaking his hand firmly.“Montgomery?” The older man repeated, cocking his head. “Are you by chance related to Mont-Beacon Hospital?”“Oh, he is!” Alex answered for him. She patted the man’s shoulders briefly. “You’ve got a great memory on you, sir considering the load of work you have.”“Oh, it’s nothing, my dear,” Mr. Brooks boasted at her.“Do you know my mother, Mr. Brooks?” Zach interrupted dryly. “I’ll definitely let her know that we had met tonight.”The two
