40 HAPPY MOOD... (1/2)

The female employees blushed, and the men, they sat gawking at the handsome man standing next to their boss. He had on a dark blue suit and his cold eyes matched his image. Alex nodded and smiled when Zunnie introduced him. Yet, he was disappointed she had not called him her husband, even if they were not married. He had been happy when she invited him to lunch and pushed his meetings back an hour.

Alex found a seat next to Zunnie and helped himself to the delicious foods on the table.

”You really are Alexander Zi from Arch.deZIgns?” The female receptionist asked her cheeks flushed.

”I am,” Alex replied and glanced at the cute psychologist sitting next to him.

”Mr. Zi, I heard that you're single. They say you're one of the hottest eligible bachelors in the city.” Another employee said in a sweet seductive voice.

”I'm not single and you shouldn't repeat everything you hear, not all of it may be true.” He answered and squeezed Zunnie's thigh under the table. She flinched when she felt his hand and glared at him. She furrowed her brow, took his hand and placed it on his thigh. Alex smirked at her annoyance. She was rather cute when being teased.

Hearing Alex's reply the girl became embarrassed. Everyone at the table noticing the tension refrained from asking questions and chatted about something else.

Alex was in a good mood. Seeing Zunnie had on a skirt, he snaked his hand beneath it. His hand was swatted away immediately. From the corner of his eye, he saw a rose-pink shade on her cheeks. He grinned then continued eating as if he had done nothing.

When lunch ended, the staff thanked their boss and went back to work. Alex was not ready to return to work and followed Zunnie to her office. He wanted to spend a few more minutes alone with her.

”May I ask why you are following me; do you not have to go back to work?”

He only smiled and stepped into her office after her. The room had a familiar lavender scent like her apartment.

”So, did you speak with your brother?” Alex was curious when Zunnie said she made plans to inform her brother about them.

”Not really, he had an important meeting. But he was shocked when I told him I liked you.”
