Chapter 26

Right then, someone knocked on his door. “Come in.”

Britney stepped in with two cups of coffee in her hands. “I’ve brought your favorite americano drink, Alex.”

“What brings you here?” Alexander glanced up at her calmly.

“Didn’t you say that we’ll be telling Grandpa about our wedding tonight? I’m a little nervous.” Britney bit on her lower lip as she gave him a bashful smile.

“Haven’t you always visited Grandpa before we even decided to have this wedding?” Alexander didn’t bother to play along with her; he simply tore down her pretentious front.

 

An awkward look crept across Britney’s face, but she shamelessly continued to speak in a sweet voice. “That was when I was putting up a show with you, Alex. Naturally, I have to be a little more worried now that this is the real thing. Do you think I’m dressed appropriately for tonight? Will Grandpa like this?”

Alexander didn’t even look at her. “Whatever.”

 

“Alex” Britney uttered as she walked toward him. Feeling slightly annoyed, she was about to start a fight when she caught a glimpse of the medical documents that were placed on the table. The words ‘Tina Hunter’ were printed on it.

“Who’s Tina Hunter?” Britney couldn’t stop herself from asking. Alexander glanced at her as he responded calmly and said, “She’s the daughter of an employee.”

“Why are you looking at the medical records of an employee’s daughter? Who is this staff of yours?” She demanded.
