Chapter 26

****THE F5 MANSION****

The doorbell rang and Finley was quick to get it even before Fernando could use the remote, but it turned out to be Alexia.

"Hey, Finley" she greeted with a smile and he smiled back.

"Hi pretty, I was wondering why you haven't been coming for the project but Fernando won't tell me. Was something wrong?" Finley asked and she started searching for answers in her brain.

"Nothing was wrong. I just... had a few things to do at the institute" She lied but it wasn't entirely a lie.

He nodded immediately and allowed her in.

Fernando couldn't deny how surprised he was when he saw her through the CCTV footage.

She went in completely and caught a glimpse of Fernando heading to what seems like the kitchen.

He came back with a cup of water and Alexia muttered a 'Hi'.

"Hey" he replied and she smiled nervously.

"We'll go to my study for the project," Fernando said and she nodded before heading upstairs with him.
