Tiffany paused. “What the f*ck? You’re asking me this question too? Are you asking because you really want to know, or did Jackson put you up to this? Is something wrong with you people? I’ve already explained, there’s nothing going on between me and Alejandro. We’re just friends at the very most! If you keep this up, I’ll tell Ari. Just you wait!”
Mark rubbed the space between his brows, feeling a massive headache. “Alejandro has snatched a piece of land away from me and singled me out during the auction. Do you really think that I’d have the time to concern myself with your relationship with Jackson? Looks like I won’t find out anything from you. Bye.”
Tiffany stared at her phone when the call had ended, completely speechless. The only thing she had managed to process was that Alejandro had snatched a piece of land away from Mark. If Mark Tremont was personally asking her about it, it meant that the situation was serious. Based on her relationship with Alejandro, she wouldn’t be able to ask him anything about this through a simple phone call. She would have to do it during their next meal together.
The thought of a meal reminded her that she had nearly forgotten about her meeting with Alejandro today. At this point, she didn’t want to do anything else except for rolling around in bed. At first, she had promised to only have half the day off, but she might as well have taken the entire day off. She fell fast asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
The sound of her phone ringing woke her up after some time. It was now 5PM and the call was from Alejandro. She got up and answered the call while rubbing her eyes. “Hello?”
“I’m downstairs,” Alejandro replied. “Come down. I’ll take you to dinner.”
His voice didn’t sound gentle, but for some unknown reason, she detected a hint of indulgence in his tone. Tiffany felt uncomfortable but didn’t mention it. “Alright, I’m coming down.”
Half an hour passed before she actually met up with Alejandro. Never trust a woman when she claims to be “on the way”. The phrase “on the way” would include a change of clothes and make up. She had put on simple, light makeup too.
