INSTA MILLIONAIRE

Chapter 43: (Who Are You?)

[Chapter 43]

Karen didn't expect Zara to find the restaurant where she and Alex were eating. She had secretly changed the location, hoping that would trick her cousin into leaving them alone.

She focused her attention completely on Alex, who was sitting across the table from her. She had hoped to make the most of this opportunity, but he seemed quiet and withdrawn.

Alex couldn't stop thinking about what had happened the day before and couldn't forget the look on Debbie's face when she had left. His heartfelt like it was being stabbed with a knife.

"Alex, you've obviously got something on your mind. What's wrong?" Karen asked. "You can tell me. It might make you feel better."

He slowly raised his eyes, and when he saw Karen's gentle smile, he felt a little better.

"If you had a misunderstanding with the person you love the most, and they turned against you or refused to forgive you, what would you do?" he asked.

His heartfelt heavy, and he was afraid that Debbie would never speak to him again.

Karen was surprised by his words, and she felt uneasy. No matter who this unknown woman was, she definitely couldn't be allowed to steal Alex away.

Alex has had his heartbroken, she thought. The person he loves the most should trust him completely, and then there would be no misunderstanding.

Karen was used to dealing with people, and she knew she couldn't be too direct. But if she pointed him in the right direction, she was sure he would figure it out.

"Alex, do you love her?" Karen asked, watching him carefully.

He nodded, causing Karen's heart to sink. She forced a small smile.

"If you're honest with her, and she still doesn't trust you, then perhaps she doesn't take your relationship as seriously as you do. Maybe you should walk away," Karen said as she thought about how to handle this problem.

Could she be right? Alex wondered. He didn't know what to think. It was all so complicated.

Karen felt relieved when she saw that he was considering her advice. Now that she knew she had a potential love rival, she had to move quickly. If she was too slow, then she would miss her chance.

"Cheer up, Alex," she said. "There are plenty of fish in the sea." She edged closer to him and slowly slid her hand across the table. Although she knew she was being far too forward, the situation was urgent, and she had to take the risk. Besides, from what she knew of Alex, he wouldn't be angry.

She was so close to Alex's hand. Just a few inches more, and she would be touching him. She moved her hand to within half an inch, then closer.

Just as she was about to make contact, a loud voice came from beside her.

"Karen, what are you doing here? And who is this?" James demanded. She had been so focused on Alex that she hadn't even seen him arrive.

"James!" Karen gaped at him in surprise. This was a problem. Zara, her annoying cousin, had managed to track her down.

"Karen, what's going on? I want an explanation now." James stared at her.

This was the exact situation she had once wanted. With anyone else, it would have worked brilliantly. She would have shed a few tears, and James would have blamed himself and then confessed his love for her.

But everything had changed. She was sitting here with Alex, who had a Supreme Card proving he had over thirty million dollars. Compared to Alex, James was nothing.
