"Relax," Alex said to Aiden as he carried Joanna to his bed. However, before dropping her on it, he reconsidered since he had shared the bed with Aiden earlier.
Therefore, he gently placed her on the couch, mesmerized by her beauty.
He had never had the opportunity to observe her so closely before.
"Call Betty," Alex instructed Aiden, as he began to formulate a plan.
Alex's bullet wounds were bleeding due to the strain of carrying Joanna, a fact that Aiden noticed.
"Betty, your boss wants to see you," Aiden announced over the intercom before turning to Alex and inquiring, "What's next?"
Alex's gaze remained fixed on Joanna as if he were cherishing something precious. Something he knew he would regret losing.
"Alex, she knows now. What are you going to do?" Aiden asked with concern, to which Alex responded by pursing his lips.
"She was bound to find out sooner or later, but the timing isn't right," Alex replied.
