I held the book in my hand, raised it up, and called Alex's attention-- hoping that somehow he would soon recognize what I am holding right now.
"Uh, Alex? I think I have found what you are looking for." I declared.
At first, he was not able to even notice what I said. But as soon as he finally spent some time walking towards here and giving notice to the book in my hand, I saw his jaw almost dropped and his eyes went round upon seeing it at this hour.
"What did I say about touching that?!" Alex said angrily before reaching for something in his pocket.
Later on, I found out that he was pulling some red cloth from there, spread it a little, and went towards me with the cloth in hand as he reached for the book from my grasp.
