~ At Sy Corp Building ~

Alveena couldn\'t concentrate on her work since she was anxious for today. Andrew, his parents, and his grandfather would visit the Sy Residence tonight to meet her parents and formally introduce Andrew as her boyfriend or rather her fiancé.

Her parents still had no idea about it. She just told them that they would have family dinner tonight, asking her parents to go home early.

Alveena wanted to make this family dinner a special one. She wanted to prepare everything. Although she already instructed their Family Chef to cook something nice and prepare lots of delicious food, Alveena still felt uneasy for tonight\'s dinner.

She wanted to be hands-on and oversee the preparations to make it perfect for everyone. She hoped that her parents and the Davis family would get along really well.

With that thought in mind, Alveena went to see her brother in his office to ask for some favors from him.

Clifford was talking to his assistant, Dexter when Alveena arrived. She immediately approached her brother, tugging his sleeve.

"Hey, brother, are you busy? Can you lend me a hand, please?"

Alveena put on her puppy-eyed look while pleading. She looked like a kid asking her big brother to buy her candy.

"Huh? I\'m not busy. But what is it?" Clifford softly asked Alveena.

Dexter was amazed to see the interactions between the brother and sister. He even blinked his eyes several times, rubbing them to make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him.

This was the first time he saw Alveena and Clifford acting like a real brother and sister. He was used to seeing them argue with one another, not helping each other.

"Brother, come with me. Let\'s go to the mall. I need to buy something for tonight\'s dinner."

Alveena didn\'t know why but she ended up bugging her brother since she was feeling so anxious. She wanted to rely on him just like old times.

Meanwhile, Dexter was expecting Clifford to turn down Alveena\'s request. He bet his Boss would just tell her to bring her assistant and their chauffeur to accompany her but Clifford gave her a different answer.

"Alright. Do you want to leave now? We can go to the Mall at this hour. It\'s not rush hour yet," Clifford said, checking his wristwatch before he stood up to grab his coat and car keys.

Alveena almost jumped in joy because Clifford agreed with her request right away. She hooked her hands around his arm as she pulled him towards the door.

Alveena felt like her old brother was back so she didn\'t restrain herself in front of him.

"Dexter, stay here in the company. Contact me if there is something important," Clifford ordered Dexter before getting out of his office.

Dexter just nodded his head absentmindedly, still fascinated by Clifford\'s and Alveena\'s strange behavior.

Clifford and Alveena headed straight into the parking area. Clifford was the one who drove the car while Alveena sat in the front passenger seat.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the mall. Clifford accompanied Alveena as she started to buy the things she needed. She bought new table decorations and gifts for her parents, Grandpa Lu and Andrew\'s parents.

Giving her parents a surprise gift would make them in a good mood. Once they were in a bright mood, they might entertain and welcome Andrew and the Davis Family warmly.

Of course, she also wanted to buy something for the Davis Family. Though she already gave them gifts the other day, she thought it wasn\'t enough.

The brother and sister duo continued roaming around the mall when Clifford noticed something. He felt like they were being followed and someone was watching them.

He saw some suspicious guy lurking around. He already saw them a while ago wherever they went. He didn\'t know if he was just paranoid or not. But he had a bad feeling about this.

Clifford walked closer to Alveena and asked her.

"Alveena, do you see that guy? Do you know him? I feel like he has been following us since we arrived here," Clifford expressed his thoughts with her.

Alveena turned around to check the guy her brother was referring to. But she didn\'t recognize him.

"Ahem, brother, do you think he is my stalker? Your sister is a beauty so it\'s natural if someone will be smitten by me!" Alveena cracked some jokes, winking at her brother.

Clifford furrowed his eyebrows in a deep frown when he heard that.

"Alveena, I\'m serious. This is about your safety." Clifford scowled at her

Alveena giggled seeing Clifford\'s annoyed expression. She really appreciated Clifford\'s protective gesture towards her.

"Brother, don\'t be mad. I\'m just trying to lighten the mood. You look so tense. Maybe you are just overthinking."

The man who was following them had sensed that Clifford had noticed him so to avoid suspicion, the man told his comrades to retreat for now.

He just left Clifford and Alveena for a moment. But Clifford remained alert and cautious. He had this hunch and he couldn\'t explain why.

The two continued strolling around the mall. Clifford was helping Alveena in carrying the items she bought.

When they passed by the Department Store, Clifford and Alveena stumbled with someone they knew. Clifford\'s mood changed the moment he saw that face.

"Bianca!!!" Alveena called her out excitedly.

The two ladies became closer ever since Bianca became Zhen-Zhen\'s bodyguard. They hang out several times together.

"Alveena!!"

The two ladies ran towards each other. They hugged each other as if they were friends who hadn\'t seen each other for ages.

"Hey, how are you? What are you doing here? Is Lillie with you?" Alveena asked Bianca as she peered at her surroundings searching for Zhen-Zhen.

"No, I\'m not on duty right now since Lillie will be staying at home."

After breaking a hug, Alveena assessed Bianca from top to bottom. She realized that Bianca\'s get-up was a little bit different from her usual clothing.

She looked feminine right now while wearing a casual dress.

"Hey, you look different today. What\'s the occasion?" Alveena asked her with intrigue.

Clifford who was silently standing at the back couldn\'t help but check Bianca out. Indeed, Alveena was right. Bianca was giving off a feminine vibe right now.

Bianca smiled at Alveena sheepishly and answered her, "I\'m meeting someone today. You know… a blind date."

"What a blind date?"

Clifford arched his eyebrow upon hearing that.
