Chapter 9: Baseless Rumors
At Meta Doctors Hospital
"Brother, Alexander, I got great news!" Rock Lancaster's sister Ava burst into the hospital room, holding out invitations along with food. Alexander blinked as his aunt shoved a gilded card into his face.
It was a wedding invite. Apparently, his cousin Lyndon was getting married.
"Congratulations," Alexander said. He didn't even know his cousin was dating someone.
His aunt beamed at him, delighted. "Thank you! Don't forget, you're invited to the stag party tonight at the Gentleman's Club. Lyndon wanted me to remind you, in case you forgot."
"Aunt Ava, you know I hate going to gatherings, especially events like those," Alexander plainly replied while handing his father the plate of peeled and cut apples he was working on. He had forgotten about the outing invitation, the message most likely buried in the mountain of emails he had to answer.
Ava clicked her tongue and directly snorted at him. "No wonder there are rumors about you being impotent. It's been five years already since Carla left you, and you're still not getting involved with another woman."
Her eyes then landed on Tyron who was currently sitting on the sofa casually playing with his mobile phone. "I wouldn't be surprised if the next rumor that pops out would say you prefer men like your assistant, who's always with you like a wife."
Rock almost spit out the piece of apple he had just eaten. "What an absurd rumor! My son is already married," he blurted out with a red face. "Those fools don't know anything!"
