Love Journal - As Told By An Emotionally Constipated Half-Genius

Chapter 146 - Job Offers

Alex and Claire had a major argument about work for the first time. Alex was determined to accept the commercial shoot for Tipton's new hotel but Claire was against it. That argument was brought to Orita's attention and the heiress smiled when they told her about it.

"Oh, I don't think there's anything wrong with that job. Alex, you should go for it. Also, there isn't anything to be worried about, Claire. I know the partners working with Tipton and the hotelier herself. Alex will be in good hands, the job is legitimate."

Claire hesitated. She hasn't told Orita about the stalker's gifts. After the first stalking incident that ended up in failure when they tried to nab the mastermind, a new incident occurred. The fact that this stalker was the one who proposed the job without revealing their identity made Claire very suspicious about their nature.

She looked over to Claire who looked triumphant at her mother's support.

"Mrs Wilde, there is something I haven't told you yet. It's related to why I'm very against Alex taking on the job. It wasn't a job recommended through the agency. It was by a private request."

Orita's eyes widened. "The Tiptons visited personally?"

Claire shook her head and Alex scowled when her manager divulged all the details of their new stalker who also recommended the job.

"The most peculiar thing was the gift choices. The letters were never signed off by a person but always under a company name with some email and phone to contact them if we were interested. I tested the contact details to ensure that they were legitimate. The job is legitimate too and that's the reason for my concern."

Orita thought about it. While the choices for the gifts were odd, the lady smiled mysteriously.

"I think it will be alright. Let Alex take this job, I have a feeling this person doesn't mean harm. Besides, it's as you said, this person has to know Alex well enough to choose such deliberate gifts. Maybe they are giving hints to their identity before the meeting? Think of it as a reunion between old friends. That person must be equally awkward if all they could think of is to arrange a meeting in such a roundabout way."

Claire looked sceptical but since Orita had given Alex the green light, the manager could only obey. Alex thanked her mother and the call ended. Claire wasn't too happy but Alex was over the moon. Whoever the mysterious stalker was, Alex couldn't help but feel a little excited over meeting them. If it was someone who knew her well enough from her younger days, Alex could only count a few of such people. Like Orita, she had a rough idea about who it was but until she saw them in person, Alex would wait patiently.
