‘’So, what did she say?’’ Serena asked in excitement as she escorted Alex away from the campus administrative building.‘’Nothing much. Just the usual.’’‘’I don’t buy it.

Thanks for your time.’’‘’See you at this evening’s exhibition at the museum,’’ Alex smiled as he waved her goodbye.He had barely walked for a minute when his mobile phone rang.

‘’Who? Do I know you? Alex questioned, looking bewildered.‘’I have met with your mother Isabella,’’ Luz explained. ‘’She told me where I could find you.’’‘’My mama?’’‘’Yes.
