Chapter 26

Alexa was sitting on Austin’s bed, waiting for him to remove his shirt, so she could remove the gauze from his back. Their eyes darted to the door when it opened. Austin sighed in relief when it was Maxime who entered his room.

‘Good thing it wasn’t Ethan. Or else he would think we were doing something behind his back.’ Austin thought.

“What is it?” His face became stoic. He was still annoyed at Maxime. ‘She should take care of me. Not roaming around.’ He thought.

“Boss,” Maxime looked at Austin, then at Alexa, then back to Austin. She tried to gauge if she should announce her news in the presence of Alexa. They don’t know her well enough to trust her with this valuable information ‘Should I tell him,? Alexa is here. Is it okay for her to know?’ she thought. But Maxime was cunning, so she talked in code. “Someone is looking for you. He’s in the garden,” Maxime informed him.

“Who?” Austin asked.
