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

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

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

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

He went out from the car and proceeded to her unit and then punched the security code to her door. He then went inside, securing the door by bolting it properly, he looked around the dimly lit unit before proceeding to the kitchen opened the refrigerator. He reached for a bottle of beer, opened it and downed it immediately. He needed the alcohol to calm his nerves and make him sleep immediately. Instead of staying for three hours as he had told Alex, he extended another two hours when aside from the gas leak that the investigators had found, one in the bomb squad team discovered three IED explosives. Zach then realized that those three were the reason why the entire building was wrecked. He frowned when he saw there was no more beer left inside the ref and then looked at the counter and saw four empty b
