As Rian walked out of the conference room, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had just scratched the surface of Alex's true nature. She was tough and guarded, but he had seen a glimmer of uncertainty in her eyes.
He made a mental note to try and get under her guard again, to see if he could uncover more of her secrets.
Meanwhile, Alex sat in the conference room, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions. She had been taken aback by Rian's sarcasm and frustration, but she had refused to back down.
As she gathered her things and stood up to leave, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She had a feeling that Rian was not going to make this marriage easy for her.
And as she walked out of the conference room, she was confronted by her assistant, Rachel.
"Miss Alex, I have some news," Rachel said, her voice hesitant.
"What is it?" Alex asked, her heart sinking.
"It's about Mr.Rian Musk," Rachel said. "I did some digging, and I found out that he's not as perfect as he seems."
Miss Alex's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
Rachel hesitated. "I mean, he's got a reputation for being ruthless in business. And there are rumors about his personal life..."
Alex's eyes widened. "What kind of rumors?"
Rachel leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "There are rumors that he's got a dark past, Miss Alex. That he's been involved in some shady dealings."
Miss Alex's mind was racing. What had she gotten herself into?
And as she stood there, trying to process this new information, she couldn't help but wonder what other secrets Rian Musk was hiding.
