บท 153: A real challenge

After a long meeting, Alex decided to surprise Dani in her office by dropping unannounced. They agreed to meet at his apartment at around eight in the evening. But he managed to finish his work ahead of his schedule today.

The rest of his meetings, canceled that morning, were rescheduled till the next day. The investor, his last scheduled appointment for the day, postponed the meeting for next week. So, he had nothing he could do about that.

"Is she available?" He stood in front of Jacky's table without her noticing, making her grabbed her chest out of fright.

"Oh! How long have you been standing there?" Jacky uttered in a pitchy tone.

"I'm sorry. Didn't mean to scare you? I just wanted to surprise Dani. He slightly backed away from her table as he waited for her answer.

"She's inside alone, but she told me that she should not be disturb." She spoke to him with a bit of authority in her voice, establishing that she meant what she said.
