"Sir, I think your mother knows about her already. She and Gina Dawson visited her work place yesterday, " Patrick reported to Alex. He could see the crease that formed on Alex brow and then the look in Alex eyes when he raised his eyes... He was mad. "Gina Dawson," Alex repeated the name, trying to think of where he had heard it before, and it came to him. The person his uncle had mentioned who came to his office yesterday. "She must he close to this, Gina," Alex said, and Patrick nodded. he has gathered information about it already. "Yes, your mother and aunt often frequents her boutique, and she visits your mother at her house quite often... I think your mother is really found of that was why she arranged a blind date between the both of you, " Patrick said, and Alex scoffed. "More like she needs someone to control and keep an eye on me. tell me immediately she tries to approach juliet again, " Alex instructed, and Patrick nodded. he was unsure if he should voice out his opinion and decided to even though it got on Alex nerves... "Don't you think it's better if you let her know about you?" Patrick said, and Alex sighed. he had thought about it too, but he had a feeling she was going to avoid him when she figured out it was his mother that showed up at her place of work unannounced... she seemed to have not found out about it, which he was relieved about. "Not yet, Patrick," Alex said and shook his head. "Not yet." Patrick nodded and left Alex office, he wondered why Alex was trying so hard to hide his identity from Juliet. if she truly liked him, she would not care about that... Alex sighed and picked up his phone from his desk... what his mother scheming at. Was Gina really Mr Dawson's daughter... Mr. dawson was one of the most affluent people in the city, and they had met at a few gatherings and exchanged greeting, nothing more than that. They weren't close on any level... He had to make things clear from the beginning and put this Gina in her place. She had no right to meddle in his life when he didn't know how she looked like.... Alex called Patrick on the phone in his office and asked him to come back... "Yes sir." Patrick was back in his office less than a minute later... "Where is this, Gina boutique? I think we should pay her a visit, don't you think so?" Alex said, and Patrick nodded. "I will find out right away, sir," He said. he knew this wasn't going to be just a harmless visit... _____________ _______________ Alex placed his hand on his pocket as he stepped out of his car... His green eyes looked around till it landed on where Gina's boutique was... He could see a few women coming out of there... Patrick came out of the car also. "Should I come with you, sir?" He asked, curious to know what was going to happen and what Alex was planning on saying to Gina... "No you don't have to I won't be long" Alex said and though Patrick was a little sad that he couldn't go in with his boss, he nodded and watched as Alex walked away... Alex pushed open the glass door of the boutique and walked... His presence alone was able to alert the workers, and they knew he wasn't just an ordinary guy. Everything about him screamed luxury and elegance, from his clothes to his shoes, working in such a place made if easy for them to identify expensive luxury designer clothes... "I will attend to him," Clara, the assistant manager, immediately said and rushed to where than was, a sweet smile appearing on her face... "F*cking b*tch!" Her coworker muttered as she watched her approach Alex. they knew she was trying her best to bag a rich customer, that was why most of them worked in such a luxury place in the city. They had access to meet the wealthy of the wealthiest, and if they were lucky and got on the good side of one of them, they could share in that luxury.... But Clara thought she was smarter than everyone and wanted to act like faster than her shadow... She needed someone to put her right back in her place so she could learn to behave.... "Good day sir, how may I be of help today?" Clara said to Alex in a soft voice, and Alex turned to look at her. looking uninterested... "I'm here to see Gina..." He said, and the smile on Clara's face immediately faltered... Why was he here to see their boss, was he her boyfriend... why would such a handsome guy like such a hot tempered b*tch, she wondered... "Do you have an appointment with her?" She asked, hoping she could make him leave... Alex shook his head and sighed deeply. he really didn't want to be here. "Just tell her it's Alex," He said, and Clara studied him for a few seconds before she gestured for him to take a seat, but Alex declined... Clara left him, a bit mad as she walked to Gina's office, who seemed to always be in a bad mood... Why did she have to get all the good things... the sight of Gina infuriated her... She got there and knocked on Gina's door. "Come in." She heard Gina's voice and pushed the door open... "What do you want?" Gina said to her coldly to her employee, and Clara felt her blood boil but was able to keep a calm appearance... "You have a visitor ma'am" Clara said, and Gina looked up at her and stopped what she was doing... She closed her nail polish and sighed... "I thought I told you i won't be seeing anyone today... didn't I make myself clear already? " She spat out, and Clara fisted her hand... "I know, ma'am, but he said I should let you know that his name is Alex," CLara informed, and Gina's eyes grew wide in shock... "Alex!" She said and got up abruptly.... "Bring him here," She instructed, and Clara left to do as she said... Did he finally agree to marry her... did Michelle talk sense into him like she had promised. A smile appeared on her face when she assumed that must be the reason he was here.... She had to rush things up before he changed his mind... She clapped her hands and sat back on her chair... She had to act like she wasn't excited about this ....
