Alexander had left for work leaving Scarlett alone in the house with her thoughts.
While she prepared lunch for both her and Alex a thought continuously ran through her mind.

What does Carina even mean?

She gave out a huff and then thought of googling the meaning. She looked around for the phone and when she couldn't find it on the counter she started to look for it in the most unthinkable places. 

She looked under the pan, under the stove ad in the cabinets. 

Huffing she gave up and decided to use Alexander's 'rich people technology'.

"Alexa call my phone", she said.

"Calling your phone", said a robotic female voice. 

Alexander was working, going through contracts that needed renewal.

He wanted to put his plan into action and begin working on his fathers' dream. 

His phone rang disturbing his line of thought.  

'Home' it read. 

'Who's calling right now?' he thought. 

"Hello.", he said to the phone.

"Alex, hey ssup?", she replied nonchalantly

" Why did you call me Carina? Do you need some help?", he said.

"Huh?  Help? Pfft no. I was calling my phone but your stupid Alexa called you.", she replied with a nervous chuckle.

" Obviously she'd call me. It's my house after all Carina.", he replied.

She was about to answer but somebody barged into the kitchen startling her.

"Xander, my love where are you??", a male voice shouted.

"What the fuck!", Scarlett let out a scared shriek.

" Who are you?", the strange man shouted upon seeing Scarlett in the kitchen.

"I-uh who are you?", she countered.

" You know what never mind. I'm sure you are just one of Xander's slut. Didn't know his taste changed to brunettes though.", the man replied with a smirk.

Scarlett visibly shuddered with disgust.

The word brought back old, painful memories of the past.

But she stood up for herself like she ought to.

"Firstly, I'm not a slut. How dare you address women with such a name? Secondly who the fuck do you think you are to talk to me like that when I have never once heard Alex mention your name?  And thirdly who gave you the right to shame me when you are no less? Huh?", she said.

Unknown to the two of them, Alex was listening to everything and couldn't stay quiet when his best friend was saying things like that.

"Ethan is that you," he asked to no one in particular.

"Xander, where are you and who is this girl? How dare she talk to me like this?", he said.

" Both of will come to my office right now. I'll give you fifteen minutes. Carina, Jacob will bring you no arguments.", Alex said with finality in his tone.

With a shocked expression, Ethan went to say something but the call got disconnected.

'Why would Alexander ask his most trusted driver to bring a strange girl to his office?

Who is this girl thought Ethan.

'Who is this man and how dare he talk to me like that?' Scarlett thought fuming in anger.

Both were unknown to the fact that they had something in common.

They were both very important for Alexander and he would do anything to protect them.
It didn't matter that Alex hadn't realised this fact about someone but he would do anything to protect his Carina.
