Alex eyes trained on Claire. His gaze

e are filled with interest and curiosity.

She was engaged in conversation with a man whom Mr. Saint Laurent had introduced earlier, and Alex's curiosity piqued.

His eyes perked up slightly, but there was also a furrow in his brow as he watched Claire and the man take a seat together. He couldn't quite pinpoint why but seeing them together irked him slightly.

The background music shifted to a slower tempo, setting a more romantic ambiance.

As Alex observed, something mischievous flickered in his mind. He turned to his friend Christian, leaning in to speak quietly over the

music.

"I will be right back," Alex announced, though he didn't elaborate on his sudden departure.

Christian raised an eyebrow, curious but used to Alex's spontaneous nature.

Before Christian could inquire further, Alex had already slipped away from their table, his eyes fixed on Claire and her companion.

His plan was to interrupt their conversation or maybe even pull a prank. However, just as Alex was about to put his plan into action, a voice called out his name, causing him to pause mid-step. It was Mr. Waller, the businessman who owned the furniture shopping brand with which Alex had a long-standing partnership for all the Harris hotels

"Alex, there you are! I've been wanting to catch up with you," Mr. Walker said warmly as he approached, his presence commanding Alex's attention

Torn between his professional etiquette and his desire to pull a prank, Alex found himself in a dilemma. He couldn't simply ignore Mr. Walker, as it would be disrespectful given their business relationship.

"Mr. Walker, good to see you," Alex greeted him with a smile, albeit a slightly distracted one.
