Rob was holding some files. Next to him, Ean Watson's eyes narrowed at the woman next to Alvin.

He was in his trendy clothes but his hair tousled messily. The glaring dark bags under Ean's eyes said he was sleep-deprived.

Alvin sensed her mood and turned behind to look at who could affect her mood that way. 'Ean?'

Anya was quick to compose herself and turned to Alvin.

Unlike the childish Alvin who was playing around, Anya noticed Alvin's demeanor had completely changed. His playful smirk had the arrogance and his eyes shone coldly when Rob nodded reporting him something.

Alvin suddenly turned back feeling her gaze. Moving a step closer, he pecked on her forehead. His fingers caressed her cheek looking at her dazed, "I will come with you to hunt the house." His unyielding voice had a hint of amusement at her reaction.

Ean: "…"

He pinched his hand in disbelief after witnessing what he never could dream of. He turned to Rob and questioned, "Who is this man?"

"You will get used to it, Mr. Watson." Rob shrugged.

Ean couldn't believe Rob accepted Anya as his lady boss. He stomped upstairs, absorbing that his arrogant, cold friend became a loving family man for a woman. He didn't have a problem with the chauvinistic Alvin but the change was too drastic.

Anya snapped out of the haze. Unreasonable and childish Alvin could be sweet!!? Where is he learning all this from? She wondered.

Recalling his words, she wanted to turn down as he will have a lot of work to complete, but he left and Rob followed him upstairs.

"Mommy…" Zane ran over holding his skates. "Shall we go?"

"Yes Baby. Let's warm up first…" She always gave proper training, instead of just playing around. Warm-up will also avoid excess strains on his little limbs.

Zane grinned as he skipped out in delight, "Yes Momma…"

In the study room,

Ean was sitting in front of Alvin and glared at him. Alvin was always the planner, Ean was the negotiator and dealer. Alvin was enjoying his time with Anya while Ean was running between countries to handle Miles Johnson. Now, he was running around in Narnia for business acquisitions.

Alvin checked the file while Rob reported to him. "Boss, it had been more than sixteen years hence nobody recalls this company belongs to Matthews Industries. They are offering a really good deal to the Dalton Companies."

Alvin knew his father was an incredible businessman who always reaches his goal by hook or by crook.

"If things continue to go smoothly, the chances of Dalton accepting the deal is significantly high." Then Daltons will fall into the mercy of the Matthews without awareness.

Rob wanted to laugh at Casper Matthews for his sneaky plans. Alvin had guessed this kind of move before he even started his attacks.

Rob suggested purely on business interest, "Boss, we can change the game." He meant to say, they could use Casper's plan and have the Dalton Industries in their hands. Casper will lose and Alvin will gain the Dalton companies.

Since Alvin was planning to settle in Narnia, they need a good foundation in the country. The swift method would be having a well-established company under their wing.

Alvin paused in his actions and thoughts at the suggestion. If Dalton's name wasn't mixed with Matthews, he would have considered owning the Dalton companies. Now, his move will bring prosperity to Matthews, instead of him.

"No." He turned down the plan. He wasn't ready to upset Anya if any rumors started as Alvin saved the Dalton Companies for Flora Dalton. It's likely to start by nobody else but delusional Flora.

Rob didn't bother about it as their target wasn't Daltons but Casper. He guessed their next step, "Shall we send a copy of this file to President Dalton?"

President Dalton was a smart man, Rob was sure they could discern the plan and step away from Casper. Casper needs to taste the failure so that he doesn't take them lightly.

Alvin barely nodded as he threw the file aside. He picked the next file and smirked. Ean Watson was good at dealing with people. They got a business license in the country Narnia but he still had no plans to announce it to the world.

He closed the file and looked at Rob, "Get me a list of ready-to-move-in villas from secure regencies."

"Noted." Rob didn't bother asking any questions back.

Alvin didn't forget another important task, "Get the details of the houses and the owners Little Donut rented out in the past five years. Discreetly try to know the reason for vacating her." They shouldn't alert the man/woman behind the scene.

Rob, who was looking into Anya's information for a week, was smart enough to deduce somebody must be targeting Anya. "I will get to the bottom of it."

Ean, who knew Alvin left the country due to the threat on Anya, furrowed, "Casper Matthews was troubling her?" His voice filled with detest and disgust towards Casper.

He was angry at her disappearance in the past. Anyhow he felt bad for Anya for getting implicated in the mess of the Matthews family.

Alvin cued Rob to leave before looking at Ean. He wasn't sure of the person behind the scene so he didn't respond to Ean.

Coming to what he witnessed in the passageway, Ean didn't identify Anya when they met in the Oasis mansion. Then what happened between them to put Anya in a foul mood at the sight of Ean?

"How did you offend Little Donut?" He interrogated Ean.

Ean gritted his teeth at his heartless friend, "Who is important? Me or her?" He was with Alvin from their childhood, whereas Anya was a butterfly. She came into Alvin's life and changed it completely. Now she appeared again and Alvin was changing drastically.

Alvin bluntly answered, "Little Donut." He didn't mean Ean wasn't important but the significant one was obviously Anya.

'Hoe before Bro!?'

Ean stood up fiercely glaring at his friend, "Fine, I don't want to work for you anymore." He was disgruntled.

He walked towards the door grumpily. As he got closer to the door, his speed lowered as he hoped Alvin to call him but there was pin-drop silence. He even heard a page flip.

His hand hesitantly reached the door handle when Alvin finally spoke, "I will inform President Watson that you resigned." Alvin threatened him mercilessly.

Ean stormed back inside and pointed his finger at Alvin, "Are you even my friend?" As soon as his father gets to know he stopped working for Alvin, his father will pester him to work for his company.

He just hated the cunning old foxes in their family apparel business. He would rather build a business than handle cunning foxes' schemes.

Alvin ignored the question and signed a file and set it aside. He patiently waited for Ean to answer him.

Whereas Ean wanted his friend to give in to him once. He was waiting when he dozed off due to exhaustion. Soon the butler helped drowsy Ean to the bedroom which was often used by Ean in the mansion.

Ean disliked Anya Owen because Alvin gave up his start-up which was also a goal of Ean. Nevertheless, Ean's anger was just superficial and he wouldn't do anything to hurt Anya. So Alvin didn't bother much about Ean and Anya.

He completed a few urgent files when he heard a knock on the door. Since the door didn't open, he instructed as he continued to work, "Enter."

The wooden big double door made a sound of opening. Hearing no voice, Alvin lifted his head and saw Dennis at the door. Despite seeing the extravagant study room filled with fascinating things, Dennis's calm gaze was on Alvin.

Alvin couldn't bring himself to signal by his hand so he stood up and called, "Mr. Owen." Looking at the seriousness, Alvin was sure it was about Anya.

Dennis pushed the door to close and went to the desk. He sat down when Alvin asked and the latter sat opposite him.

Dennis asked in a polite manner irrespective of their age. He wasn't respecting the man due to money but considered him as their benefactor. "Pardon me, Mr. Matthews. May I know what you do for a living?" Dennis hadn't asked it in the past days considering it as their private matter. After knowing her daughter was wishing to date the man, he couldn't contain himself from knowing about the man.

Alvin took his time and patiently explained to Dennis who heard him with the same patience without interjecting with his questions.

Dennis was stunned hearing Alvin was so established but he didn't show it. "Considering how rich you are, you could have found many talented, beautiful, rich household girls."

Alvin wasn't sure why Dennis was mentioning all that. Will Dennis reject their relationship on his face and act fine in front of Anya?

Alvin got rid of his thoughts. Dennis wasn't like his cunning father to play mind games. So he changed his way of thinking. He made a wild guess that Dennis was setting the stage to ask or speak about a particular topic.

He responded despite it not being the question. "I can find many girls but they aren't Little Donut."

The restlessness behind the calmness was growing stronger.

Even though most of the time Dennis finds Alvin cold, Alvin's calmness and straightforwardness were worth the praise. This was the first time Alvin spoke so much so Dennis thought to skip to the point. He wouldn't take chances with Anya and Zane's life.
