When Luisa stepped out of Thalassa’s office, she went to stand by Juana, the secretary’s desk.

Suddenly, she felt a stare on her. It was so focused that the hair on the back of her neck stood up. She quickly whipped her head to the side to find the guy who had been walking beside Kris.

He blanched, embarrassed at being caught staring, and Luisa glared at him, feeling uncomfortable.

Seeing that he’d been caught, Alden decided to move forward, flashing Luisa a smile she didn’t return.

“Hey, I’m Alden. Alden Richards,” he said, outstretching his hand.

Luisa merely stared at his hand before looking away. “Okay!”

Alden was caught off guard by the bit of unfriendliness he sensed. He chuckled lightly to cover the embarrassment of his hand being left hanging in the air.

“I’m a friend of Kris’s,” he said.

Luisa’s expression soured even more. “Believe me, you shouldn’t be saying that as a flex.”

“No… What… I’m not saying…” Alden frowned in confusion before everything clicked in his head. “Oh.”

So her unfriendliness was because he was Kris’s friend?

His body warmed as he gazed at her while she was looking away. He’d met a lot of beautiful women, but none of them had struck him so immediately, especially with such simplicity.

“Should I take a picture with you?” Luisa suddenly snapped, looking back at him. “Then you can stare at me every night before you go to bed.”

Alden flushed some more. Damn Kris! If he hadn’t come here yesterday and said all those horrible things to Thalassa, then perhaps Thalassa’s friend wouldn’t be treating him so rudely.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable,” he said. “It’s just-
