Alex POV

i have been staying here in Saipan for 2 weeks but i still have not cornered Liz. She has never attended any afterwork dinner activities i had scheduled for the whole staff. She is always in a rush to go home.

Among the Mid level.management staff she is the only one with an earlier time shift. I did not declare to the management and staff that i know her, that she is my ex-fiance.

I was expecting her to get mad at me and will declare to everyone that we nearly got married. Instead she took my cue, she pretended as if she does not know me.either. She was always civil to me, although she never disrespected me in any way she has already set up an invisible between us. I will be going back to LA after 8 more weeks i have to talk to her soon. My businesses back home also needs my attention. although my assistant is very sufficient and trustworthy there are still i lot of things i need to do personally. I have studied Liz schedule and planned my moves to eventually be able to talked to her alone.

Lunch time she normally eat with Jenny at the cafeteria. I stayed behind the kitchen door just to ensure i can join them. Within 15 minutes Liz and Jenny arrive, I allowed them to order their food and choose a table, luckily there is a sprare free chair in their table.

Jenny immediately said yes, while i hurriedly answered No.

Jenny coaxed me to go and join them, but when i mentioned Andy age gave up.
