Chapter 43 The proposal
As Alex sat at his desk, trying to focus on work, a wave of guilt washed over him. The memory of his outburst with Lisa earlier in the day lingered in his mind, clouding his thoughts, and making it difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand. He knew he had been harsh and impulsive, and the regret weighed heavily on his shoulders.
The meeting that followed only added to Alex's distraction. His mind kept drifting back to Lisa, imagining her tear-streaked face after their argument. "Abby, do I have another meeting?"

An idea sparked in Alex's mind, a small gesture to show Lisa that he cared.
Without second-guessing himself, Alex changed his route and headed towards Cartier, a luxury jewelry store known for its exquisite pieces.
Inside the store, Alex browsed through the displays, his eyes settling on a set of matching earrings and necklace that he knew would suit Lisa's style.
