ire frowned in confusion and also wondering why Alexander was standing in front of her office. "Alexander?"


    His expression is serious as he stared directly into ire''s eyes. Alexander stepped inside her office and made his way to her desk. "We need to talk ire. Is important." Alex said firmly.


    ire stared at him for a moment, then nodded and offered him a seat. "Of course, please take a seat."


    Matthew, who was still standing near the couch, looked at Alex suspiciously but didn''t say anything. His eyes followed Alex''s every move. Taking a seat in front of ire, she turned to him, raising her brows. "So, what do you want to talk about? Is it about our project?" Alex shook his head. "No, as much as I want to discuss that, today is not the time. I''ll keep it for another time."


    ire''s curiosity piqued. "Then what do you want to talk about?"


    Alex hesitated, then mentioned a name that made ire freeze. "It''s about Lisa."


    ire tried to keep her expression neutral. "What about her?"


    Alex leaned forward, his tone serious. "Is it true that you want to put her in jail?"


    ire nodded slowly, leaning back in her chair with a challenging look. "Yes, it''s true. Do you have a problem with that?"


    Alex shook his head. "No, I just want to know why you decided to do that."


    ire leaned forward, a smirk curling up the corner of her lips. "Why, Alex? Have you fallen in love with Lisa again?"


    Alex rolled his eyes. "No, ire. I don''t have any feelings for Lisa. She called me, and I just want to understand your reasons."


    ire''s smirk faded, reced by a more serious expression. "She called you? What does she said?"


    Alex began, his voice steady but strained. "Yesterday, I got a call from Lisa. She was crying."


    ire raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "Lisa was crying?"


    Alex nodded, taking a seat across from her. "Yes. She said she needed my help because she made a terrible mistake, and you want to put her in jail." ire''s eyebrows shot up at that. "Well, at least she''s not lying about making terrible mistakes."


    Alex looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"


    ire shook her head. "Nothing."


    Matthew who was listening to their conversation decided to join in as he cut off their conversation.


    "Lisa''s the one behind that post."


    ire red at him, but Matthew ignored her as he made his way and stood next to ire despite her ring towards him.


    Alex frowned deeply. "The post? You mean the post about ire and I?"


    Matthew nodded.


    "Lisa was the one behind that?" his eyes darted back and forth to Matthew and also ire.


    The room fell silent as ire hesitated to exin. She was tired of talking about Lisa. But Matthew decided to fill the gap.


    "Yes, Lisa''s the one who posted about your and ire''s wedding," Matthew said bluntly.


    Alex''s eyes widened in surprise. "Why would she do that?"


    ire leaned back in her chair, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Why, didn''t you think your beloved Lisa could do such a thing?"


    Alex red at ire. "I didn''t expect Lisa to pull something like this. But" he admitted, "it''s not the first time she''s done something like this."


    He looked frustrated, running a hand through his hair. "I asked her why she did it, but she just kept crying and wouldn''t give me a straight answer." ire crossed her arms, her expression unimpressed. "Typical Lisa. She always tries to y the victim."


    "Wait a minute..." Alex seemed to realize something. "It means before the press conference, you already know that Lisa is the one behind this?" "Yes."


    ire nodded. "Yes, I did."


    Alex''s face turned red with anger. "Why didn''t you tell me before? I had a right to know!"


    ire shrugged nonchntly. "I didn''t have time to tell you. We were too busy with the press conference. Besides, I wanted to make sure my investigation was correct before saying anything." Alex felt a surge of annoyance. "You never share any important information with me, ire. This isn''t the first time."


    "I did told you important information."


    "About what?"


    "About my life in case you forgot."


    "That''s two different thin ire."


    ire frowned, looking equally annoyed. "It''s the same to me." She threw him a red. "And if I had told you, what would you have done, Alex? I''m sure you wouldn''t have done anything to Lisa." Alex stared at her, incredulous. "Of course, I would have done something! I would have talked to her, and if she didn''t understand, I would have reported her to the police."


    ire shook her head, her expression stern. "Talking to her wouldn''t have worked, Alex. I''ve already tried that. A woman like Lisa will just make the same mistake again and again."


    Alex paced back and forth, trying to process everything. "So, you''ve already talked to her?"


    ire nodded. "Yes, I have. But it didn''t change anything. In fact, she still trying to y dumb even when I brought the person she hired."


    Alex stopped and faced her, his frustration evident. "You could have at least trusted me with this information. We''re supposed to be working together."


    "I know but when ites to Lisa, I prefer to worked alone. Now that you know, let me handle the rest."


    "No, I want to get involve." Alex said firmly.


    ire scoffed and shook her head.


    "No, I was the one who found the evidence so I will be the one who deal with her. I followed your words to held a press conference and now it''s time for me to do my thing." ire said with determination.


    Alex and ire stared at each other intensely. Alex is determined to be


    involve in this situation but ire on the other hand doesn''t want to


    cause she doesn''t want to be


    working with Alex again for the


    second time.


    "Look Alex, you just focus on your Las Vegas hotel. Remember what''s your goal is. I can handle Lisa."


    "Fine." Alex leaned back to his chair looking pissed. "One more thing, does Lisa deserved jail because of a post only?"


    Alex and Matthew doesn''t know what happened at the apartment and ire doesn''t want them to know either. She wanted to keep it a secret.


    ire ced both hands on the


    table feeling pissed by Alexcks respond. "A post only you said? Because of that Metacortex stock fell and not just me but Harris as well. The shareholders even questioned me when they held a meeting with Jack without me. And did you forget our press conference and that stupid question those journalists gave me?"


    She burst out her frustration and anger. Alex was about to respond but a knock on her door interrupted them.


    "Yes?"


    Sandra poked her head inside. "I apologize for interrupting your talk miss, but Mr. Ronald has arrive." ire nodded. "Thank you, Sandra. Bring him in, please."Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    ""Right away miss."


    Not long after that, Ronald appear as he stepped inside her office and make her way towards ire.


    Alex looked at the middle-aged man wondering. "Who''s he?"


    "That will be mywyer."
