Fake Smile

##5 — Proof

##5 — Proof

A few days later.

Alexa leaves early in the morning and spends part of her time at her desk. She made a report and then went to morning class as scheduled.

On the way to class, Alexa gets a message from someone. Private detective Bruce sends a message.

[ I've found some evidence. We can meet? ]

Alexa sighed softly. She replied to the message for a moment and then continued her footsteps. Several college students and female students of the academy who met her greeted respectfully. She went to class and started her day by giving the necessary materials.

Some female students were very enthusiastic about her teaching, while some other students were not very interested. Before ending the class, Alexa heard the students' music playing, then smiled slightly even though she still found some strains that sounded inappropriate.

Leaving things imperfect, Alexa finally decides to take an exam next week. Almost many students complained, but Alexa just let it go and passed away.

Just coming out of the classroom, Alexa, who walked down the corridor, began to step steadily. She had to go to the café where she had an appointment with a private detective.

"Where are you going?"

Sean Linford's familiar voice made Alexa slow down her footsteps in the corridor of the office. She ignored Sean and walked past the man unceremoniously.

"Hey, Alexa!" Sean laughed resentfully. He followed Alexa and smiled at her. "I miss you so I came here."

Alexa, who had been still ignoring Sean, stopped stepping. Sean was happy that his presence began to get attention from the woman. "Who are you?"

"Alexa, don't be kidding!"

Alexa stared at Sean fiercely. "I mean who are you to miss me?"

"That...." Sean suddenly racked his brains. "I am your ex-boyfriend. I am also the head of the new foundation that houses the music campus where you work."

Alexa smiled crookedly. "It shouldn't be someone like you to miss me. It's so ridiculous!"

Sean smiled exasperatedly. "I miss you for so long."

"Stop talking about you missing me, Sean!" After creating the alert, Alexa walked again. She left the man in the cream suit and stepped towards her car park.

When she realized Sean had stopped following her, Alexa's steps were slower and she was relieved. To be honest, Alexa didn't understand Sean, that guy was really careless.

'Is he trying to disrupt my life again after ten years?' Alexa smiled mockingly. She got into her car and started driving out of the music campus area.

The campus area of Scott University is quite large. In addition to being a music school, the campus is also well known as an art campus. Many graduates of Scott University later became famous musicians, artists in the fields of acting, theater, musicals, and others.

The car Alexa was driving finally stopped. She parked her car in the basement and then left the building to walk to the café nearby.

She saw the condition of the café and sat down in an empty seat after ordering a drink. Waiting for a while, Alexa found a fat man walking up to her.

"Excuse me, you're Alexa Reinhard, right?" the foreign man asked, making Alexa flinch for a moment to pay attention. She didn't expect at all that this big-bodied person was what she wanted to meet.

"Yes, I am Alexa Reinhard. you...."

"I'm Bruce," His friendly smile made Alexa lose the idea of a sleek private detective dressed all in black while doing reconnaissance.

Alexa smiled back and then invited to sit down. After ordering the coffee he wanted, Bruce took out two brown folders from the paperbags he brought.

"You can open it yourself, Alexa."

Bruce handed over the first envelope and Alexa found many photos of Devin and Emma's closeness. "Some of the photos are old photos while this one and this. I picked it up a few days ago."

"That mean they are still seeing each other behind my back?" Alexa felt anger in her chest. But she still tried to smile even though it was difficult.

"They still meet," Bruce nodded his head. "Ehm yeah, I don't know if this is necessary? I also saw them fighting on the street while doing reconnaissance on your husband." Bruce took out a flash drive from the pocket of the suit he was wearing. "I think you should know about this too."

Alexa received the flash drive and put it away. "I'll check it later."

A café waiter suddenly came over. She put down Bruce's drink and went back.

While Bruce enjoys his caffeinated drink, Alexa goes back through photos of Devin and Emma's closeness. 'This woman is really disgusting!'

"So she went to see a private detective?" asked Sean to Raymond. He has returned to his office while Diego—his other secretary—continues to follow Alexa after his unceremonious departure from college.

"Yes, Mr. Linford." Raymond nodded steadily.

"Find out about that private detective! When you get to know him, I'd love to see him!"

"Okay, Mr. Linford." Raymond also left his boss's study again.

After being alone in his spacious room, Sean sighed heavily. "She did that herself," Sean muttered. Surprisingly, Sean is even more worried about Alexa. The woman who still made him unable to move on completely disturbed his quiet life. "Damn it! I would love to beat Reinhard Damn **** in the face again."

Sean hit his desk with emotion and then leaned his back on the back of his chair.

After a moment of calming down, Sean moved away. He went outside wearing his work coat. Just coming out of the room, Raymond also moved away.

"I'm hungry. Let's have lunch outside first!" Sean did skip his lunch. So he feels hungry now.

"Yes, Mr. Linford."

Raymond also accompanied Sean. In the silence of that special elevator, Raymond began to make reservations for a place in a luxurious restaurant that his boss liked.

"Have you told someone to keep an eye on my ex-wife?" asked Sean to his secretary.

"We've done it, Mr. Linford. According to your orders," Raymond retorted.

"I want the report on my desk after returning from lunch then."

Raymond nodded. He could not ignore the pleas of his dictatorial boss.

Exiting the elevator through the ground floor, Raymond stayed in the elevator to go to the basement of the office building. He has to take care of Sean's car and also has to contact Diego immediately.

"Hello, Diego! Go back to the office! The boss wants Mrs. Franklin's report for the past few days on his desk now."

"Huh? Well, I understand!"

After Diego hung up his call, Raymond got into the boss's luxury car and took him out of the basement. He should not slow down because his boss has a high work effort. But according to the work done, Sean paid his secretary a fantastic grade. So the two things are certainly balanced!

***

Just after lunch, Sean had already found Diego in the office.

"Mr. Linford, I have prepared the report you requested on your desk!" Diego talks to Sean when he arrives at the boss.

Sean glanced for a while, then cleared his throat. He also ignored Diego to enter his study. He will check the report he wants.

Sitting in his work chair, Sean opened the rope from the envelope of the fairly secret folder. As usual, he lifted the bottom end of the envelope and took out the photos from the container.

Just looking at those intimate photos, Sean felt very disgusted. "The game you used to do to me, now you do to other men! It's amazing!"

Sean smiled mockingly. He sighed heavily and then stared at one of the photos while leaning back on a chair humming.

"Just as you destroyed me, I will destroy you too!" Sean laughed alone in his room.
