Scorn shed through Ginny and Harry''s eyes again.


    However, the more Wade thought about it, the more he felt like something was off.


    John, himself, was also someone rather influential. Why would he act so submissive toward Alex?


    Even if Alex knew his boss, that still did not make any sense.


    Hmm... I must make sure Alex goes to the gathering the day after tomorrow. I have to find out more!


    "Alex, we''ll be having a gathering the day after tomorrow at six in the evening on the fifteenth floor of Perennial Hotel. Remember to be there and don''t bete. Although you''re not one of our high school ssmates, you''re still Heather''s husband. You can''t let here by herself, right?" he stated with a smile.


    "Of course! I''ll never pass up an opportunity to get free food." Alex returned Wade''s smile.


    He did not need to be a mind reader to know what was going through the other man''s mind. He decided to y along for now.


    Wade chuckled, ignoring Alex''sment about getting free food.


    After finding out that Alex only knew the boss of Happy Living, Ginny and Harry became noticeably cooler in their interactions with him.


    However, they still voluntarily invited Alex and Heather to have a toast with them.


    The food tasted nd to Alex and Heather, so they soon decided to call it a day and leave.novelbin


    Before they left, Wade reminded them about the gathering being held the day after tomorrow.


    The moment they got in the car, Heather locked her gaze on Alex.


    "Let me guess. This time, you saved the manager of Happy Living''s life?" Heather snarked.


    "Nope." He grinned and waited for her to rx before he added, "I don''t know who John is, but I''ve saved his boss'' life once."


    It was not a lie.


    If he had not arrived in time back then, Flynn would have been dead.


    "Alex Jefferson!" Feeling like she was being yed for a fool, anger shed through her eyes.


    Alex''s lips curled up slightly in a small smirk as he continued to drive them home.


    That only served to enrage her further.


    Hmph! Don''t you feel so smug just yet! One day, I''ll find out everything about you. Just you wait and see!


    Mentally snorting, she studiously turned her head away, refusing to look at him.


    When they arrived back home, Alex quickly took a shower and sprawled on his bed to y with his phone before Carmen could nag him again.


    Just then, there was a notification from his WhatsApp. Someone in his university ssmates'' group was typing.


    Opening the message, Alex saw that it was Dn.


    Dear ssmates, my restaurant will be having its grand opening tomorrow. It''s located in Neb City. I hope those who are in town will be willing toe over and have a small gathering!


    Perfect! One of our two ss belles, Kate, is also currently working in town. She will be going to the gathering. I heard that she''s still single! All you bachelors in the group, don''t let this chance go to waste! Wow, Kate is here in Neb City?


    Kate,e on, say something!


    The group abruptly burst into life as everyone began to type away.


    Heather, who had seen the messages, told Alex, "I have some business to attend to tomorrow. I can''t go. Buy something for Dn when you go over." "Okay." Alex nodded.


    Dn was one of his best friends from university, so of course, he would be going.
