Zach’s eyes narrowed when he saw Alex being approached by one guest and started a conversation with her that night at Congressman Jamison’s office building’s function room. He watched as the man shook her hand a little longer than it’s usual and how Alex was able to pull her hand away.He couldn’t help but blamed her for the attention she is getting.As much as she had tried to remain uninteresting to blend in with the crowd, her height and built had made her stand out from the women attending the private affair the congressman had thrown. Her bright, emerald eyes also made the male-dominated guests looked at her longer, on the verge of becoming ill-mannered.“Why do I have to be there?” Alex asked earlier after Zach had finished his breakfast at the diner.Zach, on Sundays, will usually spend his day in his apartment with Jacinta or would go out for a drive and eat outside. Things changed when he received a call

Zach went through the glass doors of the bureau’s office building late morning of the following day after giving a short press conference the office of the congressman insisted, they do was done. He knew the reason behind that assertion. It’s a political move by his office to make sure that the congressman’s name will always be in the spotlight.“You did good in avoiding direct answers, Montgomery,” Director Worthington said as they entered the elevator together, just the two of them. “Has Walters already submitted her report?”“Not yet, sir,” Zach replied formally. “But I’m expecting it on my desk the minute I go back there.”The director nodded in silence and looked at his watch.“Sir?

“What the hell was that shot, Walters?!”Alex lowered the gun she is holding and turned to Zach, who is shooting daggers at her after the target shooting session she just had completed. She took off her goggles and earmuffs. It was the following and the minute that she had arrived, she was ordered to head straight to the gym, towards the target shooting area where Zach is waiting for her.When she arrived at the venue, she was surprised to see that it was only Zach that is waiting for her.“Not my day, Mr. Montgomery,” Alex replied calmly as she took out the empty magazine and placed it on the ledge. “Or just a slow start for me today.”“Really? Well, I got the whole day, Walters,” Zach answered evenly. “Another round!”She stood rigid, looking at him stonily before turning back to her area and grabbed for another magazine, loading up the gun. She put on her goggles and earmuffs back, unlo

Alex got down from her bike and immediately parked it by the alleyway, besides the backdoor of the diner that late afternoon once she got out from work.

Thankfully, there are no customers inside. She stopped short when she saw Ashley, with her tear-stained face and looking shaken, she had a suspicion of what might have happened. Their aunt is currently comforting her.“What did she do?!” Alex demanded, clutching her fist. She walked towards her sister and looked down at her, concern on her face as well as anger. &ldquo

Alex scanned her ID the following day as she arrived at the office and immediately proceeded to her cubicle. She placed her bag inside the filing cabinet under her table and automatically turned on her computer.She heard her phone sound for a message notification.“Hi, Alex! I’ll be discharge in a few minutes,” Ashley informed in her message. “Malc’s here beside me while we’re waiting for Aunt V from downstairs. Please come home early this afternoon so we can have dinner together. I promise that I will rest today so you don’t need to call from time to time to check on it. I mean it, Alex.”“I can pass by and buy some dessert later,” Alex replied with a smile, typing on her phone. “How about cheesecake? Anyway, you are going to rest.
