"Who let him in?" Alexander's query hung in the air, his gaze fixed on the room's sole occupant, Ms. Miller. She
squirmed under his scrutiny, her discomfort evident as she struggled to formulate a response. Before she could
utter a word, Walter rose from the plush sofa, a smile playing on his lips. "Didn't you extend an invitation for me
to accompany you on a business trip to Sylvadora, Alexander? | thought it prudent to arrive early. Surely, there's
no issue with that?"
Alexander's gaze slid from Walter's face to Quinn's, his eyes narrowing as he noted the change in her expression.
Quinn was looking at Walter with newfound respect, her eyes reflecting the affection of a sister for her brother.
Undeterred by the cold stare Alexander directed at him, Walter maintained his smile, allowing the scrutiny.
A palpable tension filled the air, the silent exchange between the two men fraught with unspoken
words.Abruptly, Alexander turned to Quinn, his voice icy as he commanded, "Go to your room."
Ordinarily, Quinn would have complied without question, but this time, she hesitated, her eyes darting to Walter.
Alexander's expression darkened further at her defiance.
"Go!" he barked, causing Quinn to tremble.
Walter chuckled, his amusement clear. "Look at you, being so fierce, you're scaring my sister."
"Quinn, go back to your room," Alexander repeated, his tone brooking no argument.
After a moment's hesitation, Quinn complied, retreating silently to her room. Alexander's face remained
impassive, but the twitching veins on his forehead betrayed his agitation.
"Alexander, this isn't working. She can't remember anything. Why not just deceive her?" Walter complained.

sarcasm.
Alexander moved to sit opposite Walter, his gaze frosty. "In terms of acting, | believe no one can surpass you,
Walter." "Oh? How so?" Walter asked, intrigued.
Alexander sneered, "lI hope when we go to Sylvadora the day after tomorrow, we can still witness your superb
acting skills."

Walter's smile faltered slightly.
"Are you planning to take Quinn along as well?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice. "What's wrong with
that?"
"Of course, nothing. It seems you know everything." Walter shot Alexander a meaningful glance. "Then I'm even
more curious, what is your purpose this time?"Alexander chose not to respond.
Walter leaned back, changing the subject. "So, which room am | staying in tonight?"
"Up to you." Alexander rose abruptly, leaving Walter behind as he ascended the staircase.

During dinner, Alexander ignored him completely, prompting Walter to take a seat at the table and eat alone.
Quinn observed the two men from the sidelines, sensing an undercurrent of tension but unable to pinpoint its
source.
