When a billionaire loves.

Alice's pov

I just sat there sipping my drink trying my best to ignore the piercing gaze on the side of my face. It had been ten minutes since I'm sitting here with the unknown person beside me staring at me like a hawk.
It's good that he's not talking to me but why must he stare. His gaze is making me twitch from inside and I'm sure he can see it too.

Where are you Mr Wilson?

For the first time I'm missing his presence.

"You know you have been sipping the same drink for the last ten minutes"
I jumped slightly at the deep husky voice from beside me.

"oops. I'm sorry I scared you" he chuckled.

"it's ok" I faked a smile.

For the first time I looked him closely. Hazel eyes, brown hair, chiseled cheek bones and a mouth watering body. No doubt he's good looking and his blue suit made him more appealing. Every other girl had their eyes on him.

He should go to them, why wasting time on someone like me.

"Alexander Knights" he extended his hands.

"uh Alice" I took his hand not wanting to be rude. He brought my hand to his lips and slightly pecked on my knuckles and gave me a warming smile.

He seems a good person.

But again, Don't judge a book by its cover.

"Alice, beautiful name" he poured himself a drink that was probably his third or fourth drink in the last ten minutes. It wasn't hard to notice since my mind was occupied by his stares.

I smiled at him and averted my gaze to hide my now probably reddened cheeks.

"you are Adrian's date aren't you? " I noticed how he addressed Mr Wilson by his name, a little bit of jealousy and fury in his voice if I'm not wrong and I regret talking to him. What if he's someone with whom I shouldn't have had an acquaintance according to Mr Wilson?

" umm yeah" I nodded and looked down at my glass which suddenly looked interesting.

"you're not much talkative are you? " he chuckled.

I shook my head in negative.

Maybe now he'll understand that I'm not interested to talk to him.

" so. What are you to him? "

Why do you want to know?

"  just an employee" Words automatically came out of my mouth even when I didn't want to speak to him. I couldn't help but answer to his every question.

I don't like being rude.

"just an employee" a hint of sarcasm in his voice caught my ears.

"since when have you known him? "

" four days"

"what? Four days? " his eyebrows creased together followed by a look of confusion.

" Impressive. You must be someone special then." his crossed him right knee over the other and rested his elbow on the arm rest of the chair. His appearance told that he was definitely judging me while his still creased eyebrows notified his thinking process.

Ok I shouldn't talk to him.

"Umm I need to use the restroom" I got up and felt like running but I steadied myself and walked in a brisk manner towards the end of the hall where I think would be the restroom.
