CHAPTER 59
"Seriously, Alex. How can you be so dense when you are so smart?" Jade remarked.
"I am so going to take that as a compliment, my dear."
"Thank you too." She let out a burst of hearty laughter before the atmosphere changed and she became serious. "I think it is safe to say, Claire likes you."
"I see. I know she cares about me but she doesn't like me in that way, Jade."
"Oh really? I see the way she looks at you. She gets worried about you every now and then and when she sees us together, it is a whole new thing. She gets jealous easily and sad when you refuse her on some things. I may not have been able to spend much time with you all but I believe I am right."
"Hmm. Then it would explain why she is like that."
"Yes. So perhaps you should pay her a little more attention," Jade advised.
