"Sister, you want to be my girlfriend tonight?"
Irene's question made Alan's face flushed. He almost misbehaved so happy.
"Em, I don't know what that means. But, if you really need me, fine ... I think I can do it."
Alan replied by pretending to be relaxed to cover up his nervousness.
Irene breathed a sigh of relief, finally she did not have to bother anymore to find another man. "Thank you, yes, Brother!" irene.
"You wait a minute here. I'm going upstairs to finish my job. Just one second!" Alan Pinta.
"Ah, okay." Irene was confused as to why Alan should go upstairs again. He just complied and sat there again.
Alan pulled Miko to follow him upstairs. He seemed in a hurry. Arriving at his study, he immediately gulped down a glass of water.
"Miko, try pinching me!" Alan's orders.
"Huh, why, sir?" ask Miko confused.
"Just pinch!" alan's orders again.
"Good, Sir!" Miko complies with Alan's wishes. He pinched his own boss's cheek.
"Harsh pinch, Miko ...," Alan protests because he feels Miko's pinch is not powered up.
Miko adds to the power of her pinch.
"Ouch! What a grudge you have against me!" Alan was angry because Miko pinched him so hard.
"And you yourself are asking me to pinch hard." Miko looked confused herself.
"It's hard, but not this hard either. It seems you have a veiled grudge against me." Alan held onto his sore cheek.
"I'm sorry, sir," said Miko.
Despite the pain, Alan seemed happy. She smiled to herself while holding her cheek. Makes Miko feel surprised by her own boss.
Alan was happy because it was not a dream. Irene who comes alone to him and asks him to be his girlfriend though to pretend.
"Miko, you handle the rest of the unfinished work. I want to go with Irene first" Alan said.
The man went back down to meet Irene. He took Irene in his car and took her to one of the shopping centers.
"Sir Alan will seriously help me, right?" Irene asked to make sure. He enjoys the cream oak Alan gives while walking in the mall.
"Yes, I'm serious. I want to because I feel I can help you" Alan replied.
"But, you can't talk in front of my foster father, can you? I'm afraid Alan's brother is like Ares. He likes to find opportunities to humiliate me."
Alan frowned. "How can you equate me with Ares?" he does not want to be compared.
"You are brothers. It could have the same nature. But, if it's Alan's brother I think I can be more mature, right?" Irene asked with a sweet smile.
Alan felt like it melted to see that smile. "You take it easy, pretending to be your girlfriend is easy. I'll follow your game."
"My adoptive father is a sensitive man. If we look stiff, we can be caught pretending. I'm just being lazy to be fooled along. I can't find my own soul mate" Irene grumbled.
Alan grabbed Irene by the waist and hugged her affectionately. That surprised Irene.
"Sir Alan ...," Irene murmured. He looked in wonder at Alan with a questioning look.
Irene was stunned by Alan's words. He was not uncomfortable, but afraid of not being able to control himself and finally hugged Alan back.
"The company bought me something. Going to your adoptive father's house would be polite to bring a gift" Alan said.
Irene just complied. Alan knew better what to do. Her very mature attitude made Irene feel she was in love. Alan was very serious about preparing for something even though it was just pretend.

Alberto aimed at the target with his rifle. He focused the target before steadily releasing his bullets.
Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!
The shot that Alberto was aiming right at the training board. Perfect shot.
Bryan raised his gun and did the same. Bryan's shot was also on target.
They were practicing shooting in the afternoon to eliminate burnout. Also to fill the time waiting for the arrival of Irene there.
"Bryan," call Alberto.
"Yes, Sir."
"I think Irene was just bragging. He must be pretending to have a girlfriend. I know exactly the kid hasn't been interested in the opposite sex. He's more interested in making trouble than in love" Alberto says.
"You don't have to worry, Bryan, I will still support you with Irene. I think you're the right person for Irene."
Bryan seemed to not care. He was even happy that Irene was not interested in him. He hoped Irene would bring a man there.
"Irene is young. Maybe she's not ready to get married. Even if he already had a loved one, I would give in and congratulate him" Bryan said as if he were a sincere man.
Alberto frowned. "You don't know how special that girl is. If I had a son, I would have married my own son."
Bryan could not understand why a woman he thought was ordinary could get the privilege in Alberto's eyes. Beyond the double title she earned, according to Bryan Irene like ordinary women in general.
Alberto invited Bryan into his room. There are still some objects related to Irene.
"Irene really likes to do the unexpected. Like when I came here, I barely recognized her because she was wearing really ugly makeup. But, my dogs can still recognize it."
Alberto gives Bryan a worn-out photo album.
Bryan accepted it and began to open it sheet by sheet. His eyes were fixed on the portrait inside.
"That's an old picture of Irene" Alberto said.
Bryan's surprised. He did not expect that Irene's real figure was very beautiful, much different from the one he had met in person.
"So, is he undercover?" bryan asked in astonishment.
"Eitherway. That's just possible. He said it was nice looking like that. I could never guess his way of thinking.
The more you look at the photos, the more admiration appears in Bryan's heart. It is impossible if Irene is just an ordinary woman who can attract the attention of an Alberto. Irene was truly a very charming woman.
"I hope he gets a life partner who can take good care of him" Alberto said, sipping his drink.
"I ... Will try to be with Irene" Bryan said. It seems that no one will refuse if betrothed to such a beautiful woman. She is also a smart woman.
Alberto just smiled at Bryan's response. He was very impatient to see who the man Irene would bring before him. He wished for a man more than Bryan.
"Sir, Miss Irene has come" said a servant who came to them.
