Alexander’s POV

The week had been quite hectic. Fred still hadn’t managed to schedule an appointment with his uncle, the doctor, since he was at a conference in Geneva and wouldn’t return until the following week.

It was already Saturday, and we had a scheduled meeting about the audit. Alan had news. Almost everyone had already arrived at my apartment, including Catherine, with only Alan and Mari running a bit late. Besides Catherine and me, Patrick and Rick were also present, along with the hacker Marcus Paul, and two more people from Alan’s team.

“Catherine, thank you for coming. I know you’ve been following the audit reports, but now in the final stretch, we thought it was important for you to be here.” I said, approaching her as she sat on the couch. She looked beautiful in a flowing floral maxi dress, but she didn’t seem to be feeling well.

“Don’t mention it, Alexander. I’m eager to finally uncover everything and put an end to these thieves‘ charade.” She gave me a weak smile.

“Cat, are you okay? You look a bit pale.” I said, concerned. The discomfort she seemed to be feeling wasn’t from being in my house; it appeared to be physical.

“Actually, my stomach’s a bit upset. I think something I ate didn’t agree with me.” She replied with an uncomfortable expression that worried me.

“I’ll ask Jorge to bring you some tea.” I called Jorge, who quickly went to the kitchen and soon returned with a tray carrying a cup and a small teapot.

“Miss, this tea is excellent for the stomach,” Jorge said, serving her a cup. “You young people eat too much prepared food, always rushing around, that’s why you always have these stomach issues.”

“Ah, Jorge, I think you’re right.” Catherine agreed with a smile. “Thank you so much.”

“No need to thank me, miss.” Jorge withdrew and went to open the door.

Mari and Alan arrived holding hands, which made everyone in the room stop talking and focus on their joined hands. They had huge smiles on their faces.

“What’s wrong, am I that handsome?” Alan joked.

“Alan, when you’re with Mari, you do attract a lot of attention,” Patrick said and speculated. “Maybe you should always be accompanied by her.”

“That’s the idea, my young friend. That’s the idea.” Alan agreed.

After everyone exchanged greetings, I couldn’t hold back anymore and had to ask:

“Aren’t you going to tell us that you’re together?”

“Alexander, don’t be nosy!” Catherine nudged my arm, and I found it cute and funny.

Now you two can start telling us. What does she know that we don’t?” I persisted, looking at Mariana and Alan.

“They know because they helped me get ready yesterday and gave me advice,” Mariana explained.

“They? The whole squad knows?” Patrick asked. “And here you say you think of us as your children, Alex!”
