Alexander got to his feet. “I don’t think I’ll be able to join today, Mr. Smith. I have some personal matters to handle. We can make plans to drink some other day.” Alexander had made himself clear, and Theodore quickly understood the message—Alexander wasn’t interested in Tiffany at all! Theodore wasn’t a petty man, and he didn’t attempt to coerce Alexander into anything since he had gotten a clear answer.

“No worries, Mr. Griffith. I’m sure we’ll have tons of opportunities to meet again in the future.” Tiffany stomped her foot, feeling annoyed. “Why don’t you spend a little more time with me, Alexander?” But Alexander merely pulled himself away from her. “I have other matters to handle, Miss Smith. I’ll excuse myself now.”

Alexander strode out of the room, leaving the two siblings behind. They exchanged glances with each other before Theodore spoke up. “Did you realize how Alexander’s gaze shifted the moment Miss Sinclair entered the room? He didn’t look away from her at all.” Tiffany didn’t agree with her brother.

You’re offending Alexander by saying that.” Upon hearing his sister, Theodore didn’t make any further comments. From a male’s perspective, I think it’s extremely obvious that there’s something special about the way Alexander looks at Elise.

Perhaps you can find a new target?” Theodore asked meekly. “No. I think Alexander’s the perfect fit for me,” Tiffany replied in a firm tone. “I have to be with him.

I don’t care how you do it, Theodore, but you need to make sure that we date each other in the end.” She’s truly fallen head over heels for a man this time, Theodore thought. The most I can do as her brother is to try to bring the two of them together. … After Samantha successfully brought Elise back into their karaoke room, Elise had lost all interest in singing.

All Elise could think of then was how Alexander and Tiffany looked as they stood together earlier—the same scene kept replaying in Elise’s mind and refused to leave her alone. It was nearly midnight when the four of them finished singing their songs. “How are you and Elise going home, Mikayla?”
