The experience I had accumulated during my, albeit short, but dangerous and insidious life, did not allow to doubt my assumptions.
Alex is not as simple as he wants to seem at first glance. He keeps many secrets within himself, and has far-reaching plans. I was able to understand this during the short ti I spent in his company. It was as if he had seen sothing, or knew sothing that others did not. Whatever it was, he was preparing to et it ... I did not dare ask him what exactly they do in the Babylon laboratory.
Since I am constantly with him, sooner or later I will lift the curtain of secrecy. But not only he himself, the people around him are also very unusual. In the last few days, I t with all three of my boss's girlfriends: journalist Victoria Vale, socialite Silver St. Claus and the daughter of the Gotham police commissioner Barbara Gordon. Of all three, Miss Gordon aroused my greatest interest. I felt the aura of a battle-hardened fighter coming from her. Her skill is quite high, perhaps no less than my own. And such a person works for Alex Reath, moreover, is his girlfriend. Such a skilled fighter is next to him,and he asks to be his apprentice.
He ntioned his teacher, who has been training him ever since. I'm not sure if it's the commissioner's daughter or not, but she could very well be it. According to him, he trained for a little less than four months.
To raise the level of training from an inept fighter so high in such a short period of ti… Whoever his teacher is, he's good at this. I don't know if my boss knows about his girlfriend's secrets… One way or another, Alex surrounds himself with multifaceted personalities. Just look at his decision to appoint a mutant as the director of a music studio.
I don't particularly hate them, but this decision leaves very puzzled.
"Sasha, hi," Alison greeted . Her abrupt appearance confused a little, considering that I was thinking about her literally a mont ago. She was not alone, but with a girl in, to put it mildly, an unusual outfit. As far as I know, she's a new singer who signed a contract with the studio. I heard that there are high hopes for her and that guy dancing with Alex.
"Hello," I smiled back.
"I see everyone is having fun here," she said, looking at the flaring up dance. The two were absorbed in the music and continued to move to the beat, ignoring the newly arrived guests. I couldn't contain my curiosity and decided to ask the girl standing next to how exactly she felt about Alex.
"Hmm, I hate him! He's too talented, so much so that it's downright envious," Dazzling answered irritably. "But of course, I'm not serious," she imdiately waved it off, smiling slightly.
"In fact, I admire him. He changed and my attitude to life. Thanks to him, I'm no longer afraid of my true essence, and I can perform my songs on the big stage with my head held high."
"How would you describe him?"
After thinking for a bit, Alison said, "I would call him a goal-oriented person. He always achieves what he wants. Moreover, he does this not against soone's will, on the contrary, others sincerely follow him and help. Hmm ... Alex is a clever manipulator ... He skillfully steers the conversation in the direction he needs, emphasizing the importance of the conversation. His main weapon is honesty. He never lies, and therefore, he feels as sincere as possible. As a result, at the end of the conversation, the interlocutor himself follows him, because he understands that Alex can give him what he needs most."
"So you do not consider him a cunning villain?"
"No, not at all! He is not a villain, Sasha," the blonde shook her head. "Reath is a very good person. He is always sincere in his intentions ... He does not tolerate lies, always keeps his promises and cares about those who trusted and followed him. At least, this is the kind of person I consider my boss."
"What are you whispering about?" asked a male voice. "I bet you are saying nasty things about ."
The music stopped and Alex, together with his protégé, ca up to us.
"Oh, co on, how could we?" Alison grinned slyly. "We always have only the best things to say about our boss."
"I'll pretend to believe you. What are you doing here?"
"We ca to see the results of your labor. I listened to the songs you wrote this morning. You're on top of your ga, as always. But it looks like you're not thinking about our little Gaga at all." She hugged the girl in the bright dress, who still hadn't said a word.
"What are you talking about? I wrote the song." Alex objected.
"Poker Face?"
[
"Exactly."
"It's only one! We need three more to finish the album. So stop dancing, let's go to the recording studio and you can write them for us quickly.". She grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the hall.
Alex is truly talented… When this morning he was composing new songs on the fly, each of which could rightfully compete for the title of the best, I silently watched him, hiding the growing feeling of sincere admiration inside . It is impossible to remain indifferent when masterpieces are being born next to you.
Perhaps this is my first client who has caused to feel genuine respect. I again recalled the mont of our first eting.
At that ti, Alex had asked if can he trust . I honestly inford him of my dedication to my work, and that he could not worry about his secrets. I will not betray the one who trusted with his life. Usually, a person does not believe simple words, and there can be no talk of any mutual trust. But what is surprising is that Reath behaved with absolutely sincerely. He did not fence himself off from , and did not hide anything.
He believed in , although I could not understand why. But for myself, I decided that I would never let him doubt .
I will protect him, and I will follow him wherever he goes ...
