He was quite chummy with Alaric.

With a smile, David asked, "So, do you mind telling me who from the Sinclair group has caught your eye? I might know them."

"Sure thing," Alaric replied candidly, "we just swapped contacts on WhatsApp. This is her; take a look."

He handed his phone to David, showing a selfie of a woman.

David took a quick peek at the photo and blinked in surprise. He then turned to Alaric and said, "I've got something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

"Spit it out, man. When did you start beating around the bush?" Alaric put his phone away, still sporting a smile.

Clearing his throat, David said, "This woman’s name is Hertha. She was the one who just came to Mr. Sinclair's office to apologize and offer compensation."

Indeed, it was Hertha. She'd made a point of telling him before she left.

"Why would she need to apologize and pay Mr. Sinclair?" Alaric asked curiously.

"Because her four kids wrecked Mr. Sinclair's office couch," replied David.

The smile faded from Alaric's face, and a shadow passed over his eyes.

"You mean she's a mom of four kids?" Alaric asked back.

David nodded.

"Holy cow! She's so young, and she's a mother. I'm going to delete her!" Alaric, who had found the woman interesting and cute just moments ago, instantly blocked her after hearing David’s words.

David lowered his voice and said, "Her husband passed away a long time ago. Maybe you could."
