“Mom, what are you doing? What’s so secretive that you can’t talk freely in front of Alex?” asked Jessica in puzzlement.. 

“What is going on? Why haven’t I heard you talk about this before?” demanded Kitty. 

“Oh, you mean about Alex? I wanted to surprise you,” replied Jessica with a smile. 

“Giving me a surprise? It feels more like you’re trying to give me a stroke!” complained Kitty. 

“Why would that give you a stroke?” chuckled Jessica calmly. 

“Let me ask you something. What is so bad about Zachariah? He studied overseas and got a job as a high- ranking officer with the government immediately after. His father is the second–in–command of the police department in Airedale, so his family background is great. Moreover, he is handsome and charming, so what is so bad about him?” demanded Kitty angrily. 

“Mom, his family background has nothing to do with me. I simply don’t like the way he works and his style,” replied Jessica in an annoyed tone. 

“He has been in love with you ever since high school, and I heard that he is still single. He is waiting for you this entire time! Jessica, it’s virtually impossible to find someone who truly loves another person like he does to you,” informed Kitty. 

“Oh, c’mon, you bought that lie? You know, I’m going to leave if there’s nothing important you’d like to say. Alex is still waiting for me,” replied Jessica as she opened the door to leave. 

“What is so good about Alex? He is obviously unreliable. Just look at his outfit. I bet it only costs a few hundred, and he probably wouldn’t have worn something so luxurious if it weren’t for an occasion like this. Zachariah, on the other hand, had always looked smart. He also seems sharp and is obviously someone with a bright future. That dumb–struck Alex is nothing compared to Zachariah,” protested Kitty, who hated how overwhelmed and scared Alex looked a moment ago. 

“Mom, you are so discriminating. Alex is a manager in a huge company, and his future is bright too,” refuted Jessica. 

“Given how uneasy he looks, I’m guessing only mediocre companies would hire him. Moreover, how can a random employee compete against a high–ranking officer? Zachariah is a public servant. Stop fighting me. I’ll make it plain and simple. I don’t like that Alex, and I don’t want you seeing him,” scolded Kitty. 

“I am just a secretary in the Four Seas Corporation, and my annual income is already over a million. So how much do you think a manager like him makes?” said Jessica with a grinned. 

“The company you work for? Are you joking? Why do I feel like that kid is unreliable?” asked Kitty. She used to be one of the key players of Saffin’s Group, so she was convinced that she was pretty good at judging a person. 

“Why would I lie to you? How do you think I met him?” said Jessica. 

“My sweet child, your dad has passed away, and you’re all I have left. If your future husband is unreliable, our lives will be impossible,” reminded Kitty. 

For some unknown reasons, Kitty felt like Alex was unreliable and was nothing compared to Zachariah, who was referred by Denise.
