Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 197

"How did you know?" Tiffany blinked in surprise. "Were you there too?"

"Yeah, just happened to be in the area. What brought you to the gambling ring?" Alex replied.

"It's a long story, but I was there to bail someone out, not to gamble," Tiffany quickly explained.

"You didn't get into any trouble, did you? Need a hand?"

"No, everything's fine now," Tiffany assured him. "Mr. Zander, you weren't there to gamble, either, were you?"

Alex was a solid guy, pulling in a good paycheck at Lewis Group. He was someone many looked up to. She didn't want him to go down the same road as Eric, getting hooked on gambling and wrecking his life. "Nah, just business," he replied.

"Oh, that's good to hear," Tiffany said with relief. "Mr. Zander, why did you suddenly give me a call? Is something wrong?"

"Uh... nothing special. I just happened to see you there and wanted to check on you." Alex replied, sounding a bit awkward.

He didn't speak as smoothly as he usually was in the office. It was almost as if someone was coaching him.

Tiffany thought she heard the sound of a pen scratching on paper and asked, "Is Mr. Lewis with you?"

As soon as she spoke, the scratching stopped abruptly, then started again briefly.

Alex quickly replied, "No."

The scratching continued, and Alex asked, "Have you found a new job yet?"
