When Alex began questionaring himself, he muttered, "Wait a moment , did she just call me a crook ?Am l a crook?" He stood before the dressing table, scrutinizing himself in the mirror."Aren't l handsome ?"he wondered aloud, running his fingers through his hair. "It's strange; usually , girls are all over me". Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he grabbed his phone to look up the meaning of "crook" on the internet . Upon discovering that it meant "thief", Alex grew furious. "How dare she call me a thief ! in my own house l'll teach her a lesson , he vowed, grabbing a blanket and retreating to sleep on the couch on the balcony .
Meanwhile, when Annika returned and found Alex absent from the bedroom , she headed to the dressing table. As she turned, she noticed something through the sliding door leading to the the balcony : Alex standing in the pool, sipping beer and munching on ice cubes. A smile tugged at her lips as she thought, "Good , Annika . You taught him a lesson he won't forget. Soon, he'll realize that messing with Annika is a bad idea ". She then proceeded to apply body lotion before slipping into bed.
