Alex didn't care much and gave out a stare towards Patrick and walked inside towards the corridor while s.h.i.+rley searched for her mobile phone and then he came back with a towel over his shoulder and one in his hand. He walked right past Patrick saying " Hi I am Alex.. and you are Patrick , Mr Marshall's a.s.sistant right." Patrick was stunned and watched in suprise while Andrew sat on the table in front of s.h.i.+rley and started drying her wet hair softly while she sat there with her starring and typing on her phone. Patrick became a bit uncomfortable with what he saw and returned the greetings " h.e.l.lo Sir. Nice to meet you "

s.h.i.+rley was typing a message very keenly to send it to Mr Marshall. She thought carefully and wrote it down and edited a thousand times before she finally send these words "'You have done a huge favor for me. Thanking you with words are not enough ... But still 'Thank you for all your help'" and she hit send. And then looked towards Alex and she gestured him to sit down in front of her on the floor. And he did as said then she took the towel from his shoulder and started drying his hair with it and spoke to Patrick " If you are here then who is managing Mr Marshall's work for him then?"

Patrick was in awe of things happening in front of him it took him some time for him to take it in, so he replied a bit later saying " Betty Joseph.. the girl you spoke on phone on the plane." And she was reminded of the embarra.s.sing moment so she just smiled and made a poker face. Mrs Shaw got some tea and snacks for us to have, she gave tea to everyone and sat besides s.h.i.+rley and pased the snacks. s.h.i.+rley asked Patrick to give the driver some tea and ask him to come in as it's raining. So he went out and got him.

s.h.i.+rley got up after finis.h.i.+ng her tea saying " I'll go change and come I am all wet." Alex got up and followed her saying " I have left a pair of clothes at your place last time .. let me get those I am also soaking wet." Patrick's eyes widened on which Mrs Shaw repiled "They are best friends since college, he stays here whenever he comes by. There family home is just opposite to ours but he likes staying with me. He is like a son I never had." Patrick's expression soothened. She offered him more snacks. Patrick got a call and he excused himself. He went out and answered the call after finis.h.i.+ng he turned to find Alex standing behind him . Patrick got tensed and said "Mr. Alex is there something?" Alex cut him off and sternly looked at him and asked " What's in this for your Mr Marshall ? It's out of character for him to help... he never helps without any reason or perks in anything"
