Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 5 First Crush

It was such a thorough investigation. She was treated as the sole suspect, with every effort directed at finding evidence to prove she was guilty.

Hannah had always believed that even if the fact that she entered the office was disclosed, Alexander's investigation out of vigilance wouldn't be that thorough. Hence, she saw no need to tamper with the surveillance records, deeming it an unnecessary precaution. She hadn't expected Alexander to be so merciless when dealing with matters related to her.

Defeated, Hannah went limp and collapsed on the ground.

Joseph was even more devastated than her.

"You really did this? You... Why would you?" Joseph's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Hannah's arm, questioning her in agitation.

Embarrassed by his son's behavior, Hector quickly pulled Joseph aside. "What else could be the reason? She's jealous and wants to take Mrs. Quirk's place."

As if struck by a bolt from the blue, Joseph exclaimed, "You're in love with Alexander? No, that's impossible!"

Hector felt an impending headache. Just how foolish can my son be? He's completely blind to the truth, which everyone else can see.

Isabella shared Hector's sentiment.

Yeah, he really is blind. He's so into Ms. Gates, yet he has no idea Ms. Gates is in love with Alexander.

After Isabella finished saying that internally, she looked up only to see a flicker of surprise flash across Alexander's otherwise composed face.

Wait, what? Don't tell me Alexander never realized Ms. Gates had feelings for him. He's such a dense man!

Alexander, already feeling awkward from Isabella's inner thoughts, felt his cheeks burn as his expression faltered.
