CH 47 ~ Solving Misunderstandings

"But come in first at least..."

Alex steered Rennie towards the huge, leather easy chair in one corner of the large study, seating her before taking the chair opposite hers.

He leaned towards her, with his hands loosely clasped together and hanging down between his spread thighs.

"Umm... I want to talk about everything from the beginning calmly. Even if i don't understand much about real estate business, i hope you can tell me about it,"

Rennie finally whispered, after a lengthy silence.

"I want to know what made you so willing to give up your precious freedom fat that moment... As i don't want to keep misunderstanding you anymore."

But Alex was quiet for so long that she wondered if he would bother to respond.

"Do you remember the time when i had given you my blood at the hospital?," 

Alex finally said in a low voice, keeping his head down and his eyes fixed on his hands.
