Chapter 30

The day unfolded with a series of unexpected twists—a visit to an art exhibition, a spontaneous street performance, and a daring escape from a sudden downpour. Alexander's flair for turning the ordinary into extraordinary once again left Victoria in awe.

As the day progressed, they found themselves in a charming bookstore nestled in a quiet corner of the city. Alexander, a connoisseur of unexpected surprises, led her to a section dedicated to mystery novels.

"Victoria," he grinned, "since we're business partners now, how about a crash course in solving mysteries? Who knows, it might come in handy for our future adventures."

She chuckled, "Solving mysteries? I thought we were in the business of creating them."

He winked, "A well-rounded business, my dear. We'll create mysteries and solve them, a perfect balance."
