“Well, aren’t you too? A girl can dream! Even if I can’t become Mrs. Road, I don’t mind just being his side chick!” Alex and Jewel had no idea what the others were saying behind their backs. They walked hand-in-hand all the way to the elevator and down to the first floor.
Ding! The elevator door opened, and the woman outside the elevator stared at them in shock.. The middle-aged woman looked elegant and well-dressed with a white fur cape around her shoulders and a pair of black pants.
She was a little plump, and her hair was styled to perfection. The emerald jewelry she wore on her neck, wrist, and ears all screamed luxury as well.
Alex was startled, too. He didn’t expect to run into his mother here. “Mom, what are you doing here?” Stefanie Mayer finally withdrew her gaze from. Jewel’s face. “Who’s she?”
Alex’s heart jolted, and he quickly replied, “Her name is Jewel Fenton. She’s my friend.” Stefanie’s gaze fell onto their tightly clasped hands. Alex swiftly let go of Jewel’s hand and took Stefanie by the arm. “You haven’t explained why you are here so late.”
“I heard that you came back, so I wanted to come and see you. They said you didn’t come to the office for two weeks. Where did you go?” the middle-aged woman asked.
“I have a last-minute business trip. You could’ve just called me if you wanted to see me. I would’ve gone back to see you.” “You say that, but how long has it been since you last came home?” Stefanie huffed. “I wouldn’t have seen you if I didn’t come to the office today.”
“Yes, you’re absolutely right.” Alex went along with her. “You made the wisest decision. Still, I’m supposed to have dinner with Eugene tonight, so I can’t go home with you. Why don’t I accompany you for dinner tomorrow instead?”
