Chapter 48
With a smile, David asked, “So, do you mind telling me who from the Sinclair group has caught your
eye? I might know them”
“Sure thing” Alaric replied candidly, we just swapped contacts on WhatsApp. This is her; take a look”
He handed his phone to David, showing a selfie of a woman.
David took a quick peek at the photo and blinked in surprise. He then turned to Alaric and said, I’ve got
something to say, but I’m not sure if I should”
“Spit it out, man. When did you start beating around the bush?” Alaric put his phone away, still sporting
a smile.
Clearing his throat, David said, “This woman’s name is Hertha. She was the one who just came to Mr.
Sinclair’s office to apologize and offer compensation.”
Indeed, it was Hertha. She’d made a point of telling him before she left.
“Why would she need to apologize and pay Mr. Sinclair? Alaric asked curiously.
“Because her four kids wrecked Mr. Sinclair’s office couch,” replied David.
The smile faded from Alaric’s face, and a shadow passed over his eyes
“You mean she’s a mom of four kids?” Alaric asked back.
David nodded.
“Holy cow! She’s so young, and she’s a mother. I’m going to delete her Alaric, who had found the
woman interesting and cute just moments ago, instantly blocked her after hearing David’s words.
David lowered his voice and said, “Her husband passed away a long time ago. Maybe you could”
“What could I do? I couldn’t. The last thing I want is to raise someone elses kids, Alaric interrupted. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
He had a rule no dating widows or divorcees, let alone a single mother!
He, Alaric, having a thing for a widow?
After being delighted earlier, Alaric was now fuming and marched into Lysander’s office.
Watching him walk away, Dand scratched his nose and silently took the elevator
“Lysander, I’m heartbroken. You’ve got to have a drink with me tonight. That’s the only way to console
me, Alaric said, leaning on Lysanders desk with a hurt expression,
Lysander glanced at him and said flatly. “Buzz off!”
Alaric clutched his chest dramatically. “Oh, I’m so hurt but you even told me to buzz off.”
“Spit it out already! Lysander said it coldly
Having a friend like Alaric, who was more annoying than any woman, was a real pain in Lysanders
neck.
“Do I need a reason to visit you? It’s been several days since we last had a drink. What do you say
about tonight?” Alaric was here for a drink.
His earlier claim of being heartbroken was just an excuse.
Lysander signed his name on the last page of the contract, put it in the folder, and placed it in the file
cabinet.
In a deep voice, he replied. After I finish my work”
He had been feeling quite agitated over Thalassa’s case and needed to unwind.
“Alright.” Understanding, Alaric lounged on the sofa, sipping his coffee while waiting for him.
