A Businessman's Death

The following day, Alex came to the cafe even before it opened. She was so excited that as soon as her eyes opened, she went straight to the shower, ate only a bowl of cereal and drank fruit juice since she could not drink coffee, and then left Mason's apartment. 

Yesterday, after spending hours at the mall buying new sets of clothes for Alex, since she can only have a few sets when she comes back, Mason offered to drive her towards her work but Alex refused. It was Saturday and she knew that Mason had to go home to his parents' house. She said that he wouldn't want to let Trixie wait for him. They would be seeing each other on Monday anyway because Mason promised to visit her again. After all, he would be telling his mother the news of her coming back and he was certain that his mother would insist on bringing her back a basket of oranges and lemons.
