A young man strutted in wearing a pricey suit, surrounded by an entourage. With one hand in his pocket and his gaze moving lazily around the room, he oozed confidence and entitlement.

The people trailing behind him grinned at him like eager lackeys.

One of them said, “Mr. Kendall, this way, please. We’re really honored to have you at our anniversary. Mr. Smith will be here shortly.”

“I was worried I’d be intruding by showing up unannounced,” Alexander said, but his tone was anything but apologetic.

The group around him showered him with compliments and flattery.

Derek kept glancing their way. Once he got a clear look at Alexander, he tilted his head toward Rebecca and Jane, asking, “Doesn’t he look really familiar? He looks like Alexander, the heir of the Kendall Group.”

Rebecca’s hand subconsciously tightened. She thought, ‘It is him, Alexander.‘

Alexander was the classic privileged playboy: all about living it up, always with his nose in the air. To him, a company like PrimePlay Technologies wasn’t worth a second glance–hell, even if PrimePlay was twice as big, he probably wouldn’t bat an eye.

Rebecca felt a shiver of unease—she couldn’t shake the feeling that Alexander had come here with her in mind.

Rebecca said, “Jane, I’m heading upstairs to prep for tonight’s show.” She wanted zero interaction with Alexander—if he exposed her connection to Jeffrey, it would totally blow her cover and spell trouble.

Jane nodded.

Rebecca had barely stepped out before Derek instantly swooped in, grabbing Alexander’s attention.

Face beaming, Derek greeted, “Mr. Kendall, what a surprise running into you here.”

Alexander glanced over–a total stranger. He was about to ignore Derek completely, but just then, he caught sight of someone hurrying off behind Derek.

He thought, “That silhouette looks familiar! He tilted his chin with a touch of arrogance toward Derek and asked, “Who is that?”

Derek followed his gaze and replied with a smile, “That’s Rebecca Jensen in our department.”

Alexander let out a low chuckle.
