Chapter 102 Heather Is Mad
Scorn flashed through Ginny and Harry’s eyes again.
However, the more Wade thought about it, the more he felt like something was off.
John, himself, was also someone rather influential. Why would he act so submissive toward Alex?
Even if Alex knew his boss, that still did not make any sense.
Hmm… I must make sure Alex goes to the gathering the day after tomorrow. I have to find out more!
“Alex, we’ll be having a gathering the day after tomorrow at six in the evening on the fifteenth floor of Perennial Hotel. Remember to be there and don’t be late. Although you’re not one of our high school classmates, you’re still Heather’s husband. You can’t let her come by herself, right?” he stated with a smile.
“Of course! I’ll never pass up an opportunity to get free food.” Alex returned Wade’s smile.
He did not need to be a mind reader to know what was going through the other man’s mind. He decided to play along for now.
Wade chuckled, ignoring Alex’s comment about getting free food.
After finding out that Alex only knew the boss of Happy Living, Ginny and Harry became noticeably
cooler in their interactions with him.
However, they still voluntarily invited Alex and Heather to have a toast with them.
The food tasted bland to Alex and Heather, so they soon decided to call it a day and leave.
Before they left, Wade reminded them about the gathering being held the day after tomorrow.
The moment they got in the car, Heather locked her gaze on Alex.
“Let me guess. This time, you saved the manager of Happy Living’s life?” Heather snarked.
“Nope.” He grinned and waited for her to relax before he added, “I don’t know who John is, but I’ve saved his boss” life once.”
It was not a lie.
If he had not arrived in time back then, Flynn would have been dead.
“Alex Jefferson!” Feeling like she was being played for a fool, anger flashed through her eyes.
Alex’s lips curled up slightly in a small smirk as he continued to drive them home.
That only served to enrage her further.
Hmph! Don’t you feel so smug just yet! One day, I’ll find out everything about you. Just you wait and see!
Mentally snorting, she studiously turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
When they arrived back home, Alex quickly took a shower and sprawled on his bed to play with his phone before Carmen could nag him again.
Just then, there was a notification from his WhatsApp. Someone in his university classmates‘ group was typing.
Opening the message, Alex saw that it was Dylan.
