“Go ahead,” Rebecca said.

Alexander said, “Don’t think I won’t do it.”

Rebecca challenged, “If you’re really that brave, what’s stopping you?”

Alexander ground his molars. If Jeffrey hadn’t laid down the law–that nobody is allowed to breathe a word about his thing with Rebecca to anyone at PrimePlay Technologies without his personal green light- Alexander would’ve tattled ages ago.

Alexander seethed inwardly, ‘She still drives me crazy, just like she did back in the day!’

Rebecca continued, “You breathe a word, and Jessica’s fist will land right on your face.” She guessed that Alexander must have been warned not to spill her relationship with Jeffrey.

She thought, ‘Otherwise, with Alexander’s usual attitude, he’d be calling me Mrs. Hanson with that signature sarcasm of his, just to get under my skin.

Alexander snapped, “Don’t take it too far. Jessica isn’t around now. Even if I mess with you, she won’t be there to bail you out.”

“True, can’t argue with that,” Rebecca replied.

Alexander got even more pissed, grinding his teeth in frustration. But he couldn’t do a damn thing to Rebecca. Sure, Jeffrey wasn’t backing her up anymore, but she still had Jessica and Ian in her corner. Those two were no pushovers.

Just then, Derek showed up with a bunch of people, carrying top–shelf booze, coffee, and juice. He said, “Not sure what you’re into, Mr. Kendall, so I brought a bit of everything. Anything else I can do for you?”

Rebecca frowned slightly.

Alexander straightened his clothes, trying to look like he’d cooled off. He decided to change his approach to retaliation. As long as he wasn’t up against Jeffrey, he was willing to go all out against the others.

He asked, “You said she is your team member, right?”

Derek replied, “That’s right.”

Alexander said, “Seriously, what’s her problem? One minute she’s calling me filthy rich and clueless about real life, the next she’s taking shots at my looks and outfit.”

Rebecca raised an eyebrow questioningly..

Alexander continued, “And when I asked for an apology, she just looked totally annoyed.”

Derek said, “She’s new, doesn’t know any better. I’ll apologize on her behalf. I’ll give her a good talking–to later. Don’t let it ruin your day.”
