Chapter 336 - Farewell (1) (1/2)
Aleksis woke up late and found that she was alone in the bedroom. Reluctantly, she washed herself in the bathroom and changed her clothes to a casual dress that looked very beautiful on her body.
She found Alaric in his study. He was signing some papers before placing them in a drawer. The man looked very fresh and happy, the opposite of Aleksis, whose body felt very tired and rather painful.
She felt a little ashamed because last night, technically, Alaric was the one who worked hard and she just selfishly enjoyed their lovemaking.
But how could Alaric look so fresh and full of vigor this morning?
”Good morning,” Aleksis said as she entered Alaric's office. The man raised his face and a smile immediately etched on his face. Aleksis immediately felt as if her heart string had been tugged when she saw Alaric's happy face, ”Why didn't you wake me up? It's almost 10am. I feel so ashamed. I feel like I am such a lazy person ...”
Alaric got up and kissed Aleksis, ”It's okay, you don't have any activities today. Didn't you plan to skip class? I got up quickly because I had to get ready for my departure. Tomorrow I will have a meeting with the representatives of the Meier Group in London.”
”Why can't they come here?” Aleksis asked him. Now she realized that her sadness was not because she was tired from their activities the night before, but because she was unconsciously sad to know that Alaric was leaving.
”This has been discussed from a long time ago. There are several things that must be discussed on the spot. I want to see the system they have and the facilities we have to build for the project,” Alaric closed his laptop and then took Aleksis out of his study. ”Breakfast?”
Aleksis nodded. They walked hand in hand to the dining room and enjoyed the breakfast his staff had prepared. The two did not talk much during their meal; they only enjoyed each other's presence before they had to part.
”While I'm gone, you can come and stay here at anytime. All the servants already know who you are.” Alaric said when they finished eating.
It was almost time to leave.
Aleksis just nodded.
Pavel arrived ten minutes later and had a short conversation with Alaric before they got ready to leave.
”Can I come with you to the airport?” Aleksis asked later.
”Of course.” Alaric's answer made Aleksis very happy, so the girl immediately tiptoed and kissed him. Pavel looked away at the scene, while Alaric just laughed. ”You must forgive Pavel, he is just too serious.”
Aleksis realized that from their first meeting, Pavel seemed to dislike her. Maybe he was still holding a grudge because Aleksis had argued with him at the Sky Bar on their first meeting, or he really didn't like her because Aleksis had succeeded in capturing his boss' heart. But at this point, Aleksis didn't care much about him.
She actually liked the fact that Alaric's people seem to have their own mind and not act like robots around him. She also respected them for not pretending to be kind to suck up on him.
