Give me back what rightfully mine!

Alan was at a loss for words when he heard Alex's questions. Of course, he could not tell her that it was her mother who had made the engagement promise with the Jensens and that she was already the chosen one. He thought if she found out she might become unreasonable and that would do him no good. So he decided to hide that truth, not knowing that Alex already knew it.

"What are you talking about?" He laughed nervously as he tried to hide his discomfort. "Both of our families got engaged when you were not even born yet, so how can they say they only want you? I just think that you are the best option. Since you are already working in their company, you can also bring them more profit. So the two families felt that you are the best option."
