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.

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.
