Alice looked at him for a minute before finally bursting into laughter.
She looked at him and laughed, then stopped, then looked at him again and started laughing. It made him feel very awkward and uncomfortable.
"What's so funny?" He asked haughtily.
"This delusion you're in that everyone is in love with you. Th fact you're not even joking makes it even more funnier. What are you going to say next? That I do voodoo and I've probably enchanted you as you bumped into me?" She asked, laugh bubbling out of her.
"That's not far from impossible." He grumbled.
She burst into even more laughter.
"Stop laughing." He said angrily.
"Please,I am not the least interested in you. I have a whole man and he's better than you in every manner and way but maybe, just maybe you'd him in your dreams."
Lee couldn't believe she said that. The only man that was better than him in his opinion was his uncle and he was going to surpass him soon enough.
"There's only one man on this earth better than me and I'm going to surpass him soon enough so your words are invalid." He said arrogantly.
Alice rolled her eyes at the size of his humongous ego.
"You're very delusional." She said whilst walking away.
"Come back here! I'm not done talking!" Alice ignored as she walked back to Travis barely glancing back.
She reached him finally, her hands full and her face beaming with smiles.
"I bought so many snacks for us." She said showing him the packs of desert.
"I bought some nut free ones because I know you're allergic and then I bought some other treats for me."
Travis looked at her shining eyes, his lips turning in a small smile.
"Let's go home."
"Yes. Let's go home. I'll drop you off at class then we can go after work. " He said.

"Good day everyone. I would like to clarify I don't have a broken arm and I wasn't pushed by my sister. I am perfectly fine and it was a mistake on my part. I hope I can be forgiven be my her and you all for pushing out a fake narrative." Octavia's video played out, her eyes reddening in the video.
Octavia's post ran round the school in a few minutes getting more reposts than she thought it would and many comments.
"So you falsely accused your sister and brought bad words upon her meanwhile you were perfectly fine?" A netizen wrote.
"All these "pure good girlies" tahta re actually vicious scorpions in disguise. May they never see me." Another wrote.
"Of course, she's crying. A true manipulator and gas lighter." Another said.
"Don't cry,my queen I'm very sure this was all part of her stupid plan to frame you. You rock!" One of her fans wrote and that particular comment had a lot of reproach.
"You're f**ing dumb if you actually think like that. She's not the victim. She framed her own sister and all for what?" One person said.
"Look above guys. That's what a dimbass sounds like." Another person replied.
Octavia read these comments with anger.
"Stupid bitch Alice." She screamed.
The persona she had buly up for years had been almost destroyed because of degraded fake face bitch.
"I'm going to kill her." She said flinging her pillow.
A text buzzed on her phone. It was one of her many fan boys who spoilt her.
"Did you really do that to your sister. You're one conniving bitch. BLOCKED!" The text read.
That threw Octavia over the top. She threw her phone flinging it on the big mirror by her bedside. The mirror shattered into small pieces.
"Alice." Octavia said anger blazing in her eyes.
"I will make you pay for all you have done. You will suffer."
A knock sounded at the door.
"Octavia?"
"Come in."
"Octavia I saw your-" Grant entered the room looking around.
"What happened?"
Alice ran into his arms crying.
"What happened to you? Why are you crying?"
"It's Alice." She said sniffling.
Grant frowned at the mention of his ex's name. "What did she do?"
"She went to the board and threatened me visibly and she forced my mother to bow to her and Travis in front of everyone. It was so embarrassing and then she forced us to make a post now everyone hates me." She said, wailing.
"She threatened you and your mother and what was Travis doing there?"
"She's married to Travis now."
"What?"
"He must have threatened her with something. You know how powerful he is. I'm scared for her."
"Yes you're right. You're absolutely right."
"You have to do something. I'm sure she's still in love with you. You have to get her. I'm sure he's manipulated her. He never liked me." She said, rubbing her face in his neck.
"I'll do it for you. I'll make her pay. She chooses to embarrass you in this way and I will do worse to her."
"Thank you.I knew that only you will be for me. " She said, kissing his cheek.
Grant left the room going straight to Alice's.
He met her coming out of her class.
"Alice please, I need to talk to you."
"I don't want to talk to you." She said walking away.
He cornered her into a wall.
"Leave me alone, Grant."
"I need to talk to you." He said covering her exits with his arms.
A flash by the corner of Alice's eye went off.
This was a plot. She thought silently to herself.
"Let me go right this instant."
"No. I know you don't want to be with Travis. I know you want to be with me. You don't have to act. What is he threatening you with?"
"Leave me alone. He's not threatening me. Get away."
"Come on don't lie to me."
"Get away."She said sternly.
Meanwhile in Osborne corp, Travis's phone pinged showing a message from an anonymous sender. It was a picture of his wife.
"What the hell?"
