Aleksis felt uneasy in the penthouse. She could not believe her love story would experience two anticlimaxes on the same night.
First, she was told that Prince Siegfried or Alaric had died. Then she learned that Alaric was not dead... but he was a man in his 40's who had a disfigured face and he rejected her love confession.
She really didn't understand why.
After her tears ran out she then decided to call Lauriel to complain about her fate. At present, Lauriel was still in his conservation site in Kenya and it was still daytime there. Aleksis was certain that she wouldn't bother her godfather if she called him now.
Aleksis immediately pressed a button on her watch and put on the projector mode so that she could talk to Lauriel face to face.
"Hey, Sweetheart... Why are you calling me at this hour? How are you?" Lauriel asked as he appeared before Aleksis.
Aww... poor Aleksis...
