Chapter - 62Alex now desperately wished for Karen to come back as soon as possible. He was beginning to feel suffocated. But today looks like God wanted to have fun watching him tread on glasses around Jessica. As the clock ticked, every minute looked like an hour, and Alex had to endure the overbearing atmosphere around Jessica.Finally, Karen showed up in half an hour or so, and when Alex saw her, he almost ran up to her like a puppy to his master. He complained to her, which she obviously paid no head to and closely followed behind her back to Jessica. When Karen reached Jessica, the latter put her phone away and averted her attention towards Karen."Do you have everything you wanted?" Jessica asked when Karen was close enough to her.Karen nodded, "Just a few things to sort out.""Alright. Let's go then," Jessica said and didn't ask much about the details.Soon all of them were on their way back to the company. The car was not that silent this time. Amanda was busy driving while

Chapter - 64 "Come in," Karen gave her permission to Amber. Amber walked in and raised her brows, looking at Alex, signalling him, 'Why am I being called?' Alex shook his head in return. Karen looked at them, signalling each other before she intervened, "Alex, Amber, I have a job for you guys," Karen said to the two of them. She then looked at Alex, "From Monday, Next week, I want you both to go around the area of the publishing company and do a survey for me. I want you to prepare a questionnaire or somet

Chapter - 66 The weekend was over, and it was Monday, time to get back to work. Alex spent his Saturday with Rachel while his Sunday was packed with his commitment to playing FIFA on his PlayStation. Enjoying his weekend, Alex finally understood why his father hated Mondays. Leaving his home, instead of heading to Theation, Alex straightaway reached the site of the project. Amber and Alex had decided to meet there instead of 'Theation'. By the time Alex arrived there, Amber was already there waiting for him. Alex picked her up, and they arrived at the nearby marketplace. Parking his bike near a convenience store, Alex and Amber finally got to do some work. They hurriedly pulled out a bundle of sheets given to them by Karen. Both of them looked at the bundle in their hand with helplessness. This was so old fashioned, time-consuming and distressing. Karen was clearly trying to make it difficult for the

Chapter - 68 Soon the trio saw the lady come back with a box in her hand. When Annie saw her mother walk towards them, she stood up and gave her seat to her mother. Everyone smiled when they saw Annie act so considerate. The lady sat beside Alex and opened the first-aid box in her hand. She took out cotton, dressing, gauzes and disinfectants from the box to attend to the wound. The lady grabbed a cotton swab and tried to disinfect Alex's wound. When Annie saw the cotton swab inching towards him with a worried face, she took a step forward. When Alex saw this, he also played along. Alex closed his eyes and made faces, letting out weird voices, acting as if afraid of the stinging pain. Annie, when saw Alex make painful faces, walked up to him and took his big palms in her small hands, trying to make him feel relaxed. Alex smiled and pulled Annie in a big hug and showed her his biceps. Seeing this, the

Chapter - 70 When they reached the hospital, Alex was brought to Claire's chamber in a wheelchair while Amber pushed behind. Annie also pushed Alex's wheelchair to the best of her capabilities. Reaching her chamber's the first thing Claire did was to call her nurse on the intercom. "Let's get your X-ray done first. We need to make sure that there is no fracture anywhere," Amber said, putting the receiver down. Soon there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Claire called out. "Doc, you called?" Opening the door, a giant with hair split into two long braids, wearing a pink nurse uniform, walked in. No way she was a woman. Alex could see a significant amount of greys around her lips, indicating a recent trimming session. And the mole right below the nostrils didn't make her any pleasant to the eyes. Only the enormous bulge on her chest and the skirt she was wearing showed any indica
