Alex's POV
I awoke to the sound of chirping birds. I looked over at the clock next to my bed, it was 06:07am. I'm sure I put an alarm on.
I then dragged my tired body out of bed. I went to the bathroom to take a shower, in hopes that it'll wake me up. I was stunned when it did. I walked out feeling refreshed and ready for the day.
"Now, what to wear? " I asked myself. I emptied my duffel bag and found a beautiful floral printed dress. It was so incredibly cute! I paired it with lovely white sandal.
"Now, on to my face! " I exclaimed. I put on a little mascara and a pop of red matte lipstick. I let my curly hair fall anywhere it wanted to and I added a cute flower to match the dress. I checked the time again to make sure I wasn't extremely late.
06:55am. Am I late? I rushed down the stairs and made my way to the kitchen. I found Christopher sitting by the table drinking coffee.
"Morning!" I happily chirped. He just nodded. Well geez, who stole his money today?
He looked up and scanned me with his eyes. "You're going to work dressed like that? " he asked. What's wrong with what I'm wearing?
"Yes. Is there something wrong? " I asked.
He sighed. "No. Leave it. " he replied. I kept quiet. He didn't even say I looked cute.
I didn't eat much. I felt too nervous. I know breakfast is important but I'm too anxious for today. I drank some grape juice and took a few bites from an apple.
"Let's go. " he commanded.
I followed him to his garage. He had three cars and they were gorgeous. He pressed a button on the tiny remote and a beeping noise emanated from the black SUV.
"Get in. " he sternly said.
"You must get plenty of woman with the amount of chivalry you have" I sweetly said, secretly hoping he did not detect the sarcasm in my voice.
He shot me a mean glare. "I will not tolerate sarcasm, Miss Haytham. " damn it. He noticed it.
"Do you understand, Miss Haytham?" What happened to calling me Alex? Did he forget he kissed my pinky? He literally kissed my feet. That makes us buddies.
I decided to answer.
"Yes, Christopher. "I answered
"That's Mr Kenway to you. " Make up your mind! Should I call you by your first or last name?
"But you sai--"
"I know what I said. " he cut me off.
"Okay, Mr Kenway. " I sadly ended off. The car ride was awkward. Christophe-- mind me, Mr Kenway, only glanced at me here and there but never said a word.
After 30 minutes we finally made it to a tall, majestic building. I was beginning to get even more nervous. I don't belong here.
"Miss Haytham! " he whisper-yelled. "Admire the infrastructure on your own time and follow me. "
Wish me luck.
