It was clear that the reporter had been set up deliberately to make things difficult for Quintessa.
Tyrone wondered who was so foolish.
Suddenly, Alexander’s voice rang out overhead, “Hey, Tyrone, what are you looking at so intently?”
Snap—Tyrone slammed his laptop shut and looked up to find Alexander, who had appeared out of nowhere, standing right in front of him.
Tyrone cleared his throat. “Man, you could’ve given me a heads up before dropping by.”
Annoyed at himself, Tyrone had been so engrossed that he hadn’t even noticed Alexander’s arrival.
Alexander chuckled, “Come on, buddy, what's there to fear as long as you're not hiding a woman? What were you so deep into just now?”
Tyrone brushed its off, “Nothing. What brings you here?”
Alexander sat down across from him. “My little sis is coming of age. You’re coming to the celebration, right? After all, she's someone we’ve both watched grow up, and a coming-of-age celebration happens only once in a lifetime.”
Tyrone, somewhat absent-minded today, replied, “Sure, I’ll come if I’m free.”
“Do you have something on your mind?” Alexander probed.
“Not at all, you came all this way just to invite me?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
Tyrone was getting antsy, wanting to hasten Alexander’s departure. However, Alexander continued to find topics to talk about, showing minimal interest in leaving.
It wasn’t until Shirley knocked and reminded them of a senior management meeting in 10 minutes, that Alexander finally took his leave.
After seeing Alexander off, Tyrone immediately flipped his laptop open again.
