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.

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.”
