Alex arrived upstairs and took his hoodie off.
He dropped it at one corner and strolled towards the door to Valerio's room.
He placed two light knocks on the door, and Valerio gave his permission.
He stepped inside and shut the door behind him, then slightly bowed to Valerio, who was seated with his head resting back. "You called for me." He said.
Valerio lifted his head and glanced at him. "Yes, I did. Where did you go?" He asked.
"I just went out to stroll in the park," Alex answered with no expression on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He pried.
"It was just a park, master. I didn't think it was worth the disturbance," Alex explained, causing a slight frown to appear and disappear on Valerio's face.
"I see." He nodded and exhaled. "I have a task for you." He spoke.
"May I ask what it is, master?" Alex inquired.
