The conversations went on. But occasionally Kalina would break away from the conversation to cast a glance at Alex.
Alex was happily barbecuing the meat while being surrounded by kids. He was busy in his own world. And unknown to him, he was smiling heartily. Unlike his usual self, this smile was different. It was genuine. And Kalina realised it.
She was seeing a different side of Alex that she never knew existed.
Most of the time, Alex was a man with a purpose. Every one of his actions was calm and composed delivering the best result possible. He often faked his expressions like a businessman or at times, hide behind a horrible personality.
His action often fooled her to think he was a middle-aged man with many life experiences. In simpler terms, he was unapproachable as a person.
