"Were you reading that?" Alexander asked pointing at the book lying on the table. Elle turned to face the other side and noticed what Alexander was pointing at. A surprised look settled on her face. Oh Lord no! Why would that be lying on the table just at this time? She knew how protective Alexander was. Would he take it when she told him she was interested in politics?

"Actually… I, I'm currently reading that book," she said, her gaze darting everywhere else but at Alex. She could already sense the tense atmosphere in the air coupled with the silence that followed. Why had she even done that in the first place? She should have lied or something.

She slowly lifted her face to look at Alexander, her heart beating in anticipation with every passing second. Her blue pair of eyes settled on Alexander's making her swallow the lump in her throat. But this was not what she had expected. A frown now settled on her face when Alexander smiled sweetly at her.
