Chapter 36

Alex POV:

The next morning, I woke up feeling restless, eager to escape the suffocating atmosphere of my family's demands. I reached for my phone and dialed my secretary's number, my mind racing with the need to flee.

"Book a flight for me back to Country X," I said, my voice firm. "I can't spend another day here."

After ending the call, I hesitated for a moment before dialing Annie's number. She answered on the first ring, her cheerful voice a stark contrast to my gloomy mood. "I need your help with something," I said, my words tumbling out in a rush.

"What's that, big bro?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

I took a deep breath before blurting out my request. "I need you to look for a suitable woman for me."

Annie's laughter was music to my ears. "That's simple. I have one in mind already."

My interest was piqued. "Tell me."

"Jenny," she said, her voice confident. "She's suitable for you, even perfect."

I was taken aback. "Jenny?" I repeated, my surprise evident.
