Their fear

Melvin stopped his car right at the basement of the apartment building because he was thinking of not traveling again after this. He glanced at Alexa who was silent with a blank stare, then grabbed her right hand.

"Are you still angry because of my dishonesty about Laura?" he asked.

Alexa glanced at Melvin in surprise. "I'm not mad. I'm just wondering since when did you not open up to me? Especially when it's about a beautiful client... Maybe I'm overthinking this but somehow I feel jealous." Alexa pulled her hand away from Melvin. "I'm so uncomfortable with this situation."

"Honey, I have many clients. I don't have to tell you about them, moreover, we always have other more important topics of conversation...So, I don't have to tell you about clients who are beautiful or ugly...." Melvin emphasized patiently, his heart starting to feel uncomfortable because Laura's presence had made Alexa in a bad mood.
