Mr. Executive

Chapter 9

Candice giggles as I relay everything that had happened to me yesterday.

After that whole heated incident, I had stuck to his words and had gone home.

And now here I was the very next day at lunch with Candice.

As soon as I was given my break by Alexander I had rushed over to the finance floor and had grabbed her hand as I dragged her to the small, one of many, cafeterias.

Luckily we both had our breaks at the same time.

Candice fiddles with her fork as she looks up at me with a smirk on her lips.

I can tell she wants to say something so with a roll of my eyes I motion with a wave of my hand for her to go on.

"He totally has the hots for you" she says giggling once more.

I look at her dubiously and snort, totally unladylike.

"I'm sure". You can hear the sarcasm in my voice.

"Oh come on Nora, why else would he be so handsy with you and act all Christian Grey like?".

I laugh at her words and answer back "Because he's a horny man that can't keep it in his pants".

"Well you should be flattered he wants you. He's never looked at me like that" she says almost mournfully.

"Oi, you have a boyfriend" I can't help to say but laugh as well.

"I know I know, but it's nice to feel appreciated once in a while especially when it comes from a guy that looks like that".

I nod along with her, agreeing completely.

We talk a bit more here and there through lunch while she eats her salad, that looks completely unappetising to me, and I eat my sandwich.

Just as I am about to take another bite, a hand on my shoulder stops me.

Just from the look on Candice's face I can guess who it is.

She gawks as if she doesn't have a care in the world.

Looking up and behind my shoulder I see Alexander with one hand still on my shoulder and the other typing away furiously at his phone.

"Come on Nora, we're going to be late" he says still not looking up from his phone.

"But I'm having lunch" I say mournfully looking down at my sandwich.

Finally coming to stand in front of me, he looks down at my sandwich, than at me before rolling his eyes.

"You can have lunch later on when we get to the restaurant, now come on lets go. It's like I work for you not the other way around" he says exasperated.

Huffing I get up and search for my handbag which is already in Alexander's hand.

Thanking him, I swing it over my shoulder before saying a bye to Candice who still sits there in shock as she stares at the man beside me.

It's like she's seeing her favourite actor for the first time in the flesh or something by the way she just stares.

Seeming to snap out of it, she replies back by getting up to hug me, while Alexander stands to the side impatient.

He looks at Candice and just smiles before he grabs my hand and drags me to God knows where.

Looking back I see Candice with a creepy smile on her face as she waves at me.
