Alex brought the USB drive and headed to Wild Sides with Lucas at night.

Lucas remarked on how Alex seemed like an old man who had experienced life’s hardships in just a few days. He couldn’t bear to see Alex’s stubble and expressed concern about Paige’s situation.

Lucas sighed. “Tell me about your plan. Paige is a nice person, and I would like to help both of you.”

Alex hesitated. “I still don’t know what to do yet. Let’s play it by ear and check my text messages later.”
