Quite a reunion it is

Chapter - 153

"Peekaboo," Opening the door, Alex peeked inside, "Anybody home?" Alex whispered, not wanting to disturb anyone.

And fair enough, no one heard him or noticed the peeking head of someone who did not belong there.

With everyone busy with their work, Alex slowly closed the door behind him and tiptoed his way inside without making any noise.

Sneakily, Alex stopped a few feet behind Hazel and hid behind the shredder. He was going to pull a prank on them.

Clearing his throat, Alex was about to yell, 'Fire... Fire...'

"Don't do it," Hazel said, taking Alex by surprise. He thought that Hazel had seen him.

"Huh....? What is it?" Ellaine asked.

"Uhh... Nothing, it's my brother... He just texted me about some chit-fund scheme," Hazel said, "I mean, everyone knows it is a fraud, and he wants me to invest in it."

"Yeah... I invested some a few years back, and before I could withdraw the money, the company vanished into thin air." Ellaine agreed.
