Seeing Nancy storm into the office, Chris immediately stepped back and hid behind Alex. “Mom, what are you doing here?” Alex caught the purse and turned to hide behind the couch.
Nancy was fuming, patting her chest as she pointed at Alex. “No wonder you won’t go on blind dates when I tell you to. So it’s true–you’ve got your eye on a widow.
“Tell me, who are you hooking up with? Take me there right now. I want to see which bitch is stealing your heart!”
Nancy was so angry that her head was buzzing, and she demanded that Alex take her to find that widow.
Alex kept a safe distance from Nancy, and before he knew it, he had circled to the back of the couch. With a couch set between them, Nancy was fuming and cursing, “You little brat! You can run, but you can’t hide forever!
“If you don’t take me to find that bitch now, I’ll follow you everywhere you go.”
Seeing Nancy going all out, Alex, in a panic, pointed to Chris in the distance. “Mom, you misunderstood. It’s Chris! He has a thing for a widow and asked me to help him. I was just trying to talk some sense into him.”
Chris opened his mouth, looking bewildered at Alex. However, catching the warning look from Alex, he dared not say a word.
Nancy looked at Chris doubtfully. “Is that true?”
Chris nodded reluctantly, and Nancy sighed. “I know you’ve had it tough at the Warren Group while Alex was away, Chris.”
Nancy walked over, grabbing Chris‘ hand. “You graduated from a top foreign university, and your parents used to be high- level executives. You should be able to find someone better than a single mom with kids.
“How about this, I’m setting up blind dates for Alex, and I’ll also help you find a few good matches. After work tonight, you and he can both go on a blind date together.”
Chris was horrified at the thought of Nancy setting him up on blind dates. He quickly shook his head. “No need, Mrs.
Warren.”
Nancy wasn’t having it. “It’s settled then!”
Alex, sensing Nancy was getting serious about the blind date thing, stepped in. “Mom, we still have work to do. You should go home, and we’ll talk about it later.”
Nancy turned to Alex, pointing a finger. “What? You really want to bring a widow home as your wife, right?”
“No! I told you, it was Chris,” Alex quickly corrected, pointing to Chris, who lowered his head in embarrassment.
“I don’t care who it is. Starting tonight, you two will both go on blind dates after work. I’ll set everything up. Do you have any problem with that” Nancy glared fiercely at Alex, not backing down.
Alex, feeling completely cornered by Nancy, had no choice but to agree. “Fine, I’ll go.”
Nancy turned to Chris. “What about you?”
“Mrs. Warren, I… I’ll go,” Chris reluctantly agreed.
Once both of them had agreed, Nancy finally left, satisfied. As soon as she was gone, Barry walked in.
Alex raised an eyebrow. “Where have you been?”

“Sorry, Mr. Warren, I… I just went to the bathroom,” Barry said, his head lowered in case Alex figured out his true thoughts. He knew if he had walked in earlier, he would have got involved. There was no way he was risking that.
Before they got off work, Alex got a text from Nancy with the address. It was at the Earl Hotel. Taking a deep breath, Alex turned to Chris. “Do you want some time to go home and get dressed up?”
Chris’s normally cool face twisted into a grimace. “Mr. Warren, if my girlfriend finds out, I’ll be in deep trouble!”
“Only once. How often does something like this happen?” Alex said nonchalantly, “We’ll meet at the hotel entrance. I have to go ‘get ready‘, and I’ll bring my cat along.”
