Charles hid the smile on his face with difficulty. He was still a bit reluctant for such a childish plan. Anyone would lie in the situation but Alex did not disappoint him.

He blurted the truth. Everyone respected Gabi a lot. So they all looked disappointed with Alex.

"There, there! You are exaggerating the matter. I am sure Alex did not mean that." said Charles as he stood up and held the shoulders of Cassian to calm him.

Then he looked at Alex.. "Alex, would you please explain to everyone that you did not mean that." he eyed Alex who smiled and leaned on his seat confusing everyone as he was not apologetic at all.

"I will surely explain if you want it. But then I hope everyone will forgive me later." His words confused everyone as they stared at him when he opened the file and passed it to the maid who distributed it to everyone.
