  I suddenly sat down on the bed. "Mr. Tricked? I think you misheard what Jenna called you."   "And how come I misheard it?" He asked.   "Jenna told me about it. She called you Mr. Ric, not Mr. Tricked. You know, Mr. Ric, short for Mr. Ricafort." I tried to justify, hoping that Alex would believe it.   "Oh, Mr. Ric, short for Mr. Ricafort." I heard Alex chuckling on the line. I could imagine his sarcastic face by its sound. Then, he added, "Don't try to deceive me again, sweetie. I asked her to repeat it. And I heard it clearly. Mr. Tricked, huh?”   I sighed. I knew I couldn't deny it any

  "They say every cloud has a silver lining. And I think I saw that silver lining through Ms. Walton." Alex responded in a metaphorical way. Then, he glanced at me and gave me a subtle smile.   I breathed a sigh of relief with his answer. I smiled back at him when our eyes met.   "Why do you sound more in love rather than making reconciliation, Mr. Ricafort?" Another follow-up question from the panel.   I could feel that my face blushed with that unexpected question. I held my breath as I looked at Alex, waiting for his answer.  

  Alex brushed his warm lips on my cheek, going to my ear, and whispered softly.

I didn't speak anymore as I didn't want to give him any more worries.   Alex had been very busy the next few days. He looked so exhausted already with dark circles under his eyes. He's still trying to find ways how they could file claims since he would suffer a huge loss if he's not able to get any cents from the insurance company. He consulted their Legal Team and other lawyers for any possible resolution about the matter.   Sigh. I couldn't afford to see him like this. And I couldn't just stay silent, knowing that there's a way on how to solve the issue about their insurance claims. Thus I de

  I took a deep breath before I anxiously turned the doorknob of Alex's office. However, I was surprised at the sight when I opened the door.   "A-Alex?" I uttered as my eyes roamed around the room. Mr. Scott, John, and Mr. Adams were also there. They were smiling at me as I stepped into the room.   "Surprised!" Mr. Scott exclaimed.   "What's going on here?" I asked as I furrowed my forehead.   "Guess what? We successfully proved that the renewal of the insurance should take effect even in the absence of the Renewal Advice." Mr. Scott explained while Alex walked towards me and held me on the waist.
