Business With Lust

Chapter 18

Diana's POV

We spent the next ten minutes making small talk before we park outside a building that had fucking security guards outside it.

While I was busy staring at the building, I didn't notice Alexander had exited the car until my door was opened.

I shoot Alexander a smile and get out, and he closes the car door before linking arms with me.

"Ignore the security," Alexander tells me, and I nod as we walk up to the doors. I was slightly worried they'd stop us, telling me I didn't fit some dress code. But they simply smile at us while one of them opens the doors for us. I smile back at them while Alexander thanks them.

We walk in, then a woman shows us to our table. Alexander pulls out my chair for me, and I laugh while he shoots me a charming smile.

He sits down, and I look around the place. It's a fairly quiet restaurant with only a few people here. But they are seated far away enough so that you can't hear them, which provides a sense of privacy.

"This place is lovely" I smile as I turn back to Alexander and see him already staring at me. He hums in agreement, and I blush slightly when I notice his eyes on my lips.

Deciding to be a little mean, I run my tongue over my bottom lip before biting my lip gently. His eyes meet mine, and I look at him innocently while his jaw clenches slightly. I smirk, just as a waitress comes.

"Good evening. My name is Sharon and I'll be your waitress tonight. Can I get you two anything to drink?" A woman says, and I shoot her a smile. "Glass of red wine, please" I say, and she nods and writes it down on her little notepad.

"Water, thanks," Alexander says, his eyes still on me. She walks off, leaving the two of us alone once again.

"So how many brothers do you have?" I ask him. I've been curious to know for a while now.

"Six". My eyes widen. "Yeah, people tend to be surprised" Alexander laughs, noticing my shocked expression.

"Younger or older?" I ask him. "Both. My oldest brother, Jay, is thirty-five. Me and my two brothers, Leo and Sage are twenty-six as you probably know. And the twins, Ezra and Elijah, and Clayton are twenty. I have a little sister, Charlotte who's fifteen" He explains. Seven siblings?! Holy shit.

"You're a triplet?" I ask surprised, and he hums. "You know Leo. And Sage was the tall guy who came to my office with the others" Alexander tells me.

"The other one was Clayton, right?" I ask, and he nods. "Your house must be hectic" I chuckle and he smiles. "Is Casey your only brother?" He asks.

"Yes. He's seventeen. Eighteen soon" I answer. The waitress then comes back with our drinks and takes our orders.

"Any hobbies?" I ask. I can't picture Alexander doing anything other than work. I can't see him doing a jigsaw. I most definitely can't picture him playing golf. So I'm curious as to what he does when he isn't working.

He shakes his head, and I chuckle. "There has to be something you enjoy," I say, and he shrugs. "I work. Then sleep then do it again" Alexander tells me. "On the weekends,  when you don't have work, how do you spend your time?" I ask, and he takes a second to think.
