**********Alexander **********

"Get out." I could tell she was close to breaking down, but at this stage I didn't care whether she was crying or not.

How dare they....if I don't get the answer I will fire all of them. I will not work with traitors.

If Vero finds out she'll.... no I have to fix it as soon as possible.

" If none of you is willing to give me an answer in five, you are all fired!" I told them calmly.

I really did mean it, if no one told me who told the media about me and Vero they were all fired.

"Five....." I started my count down while my eyes scanned the room, I could see the fear they all displayed.

A women in a green formal wear was bitting her fingers, another with red hair seemed like she wanted to pace around but stopped herself when she noticed I was watching.

" Four...Three..." I continued, by now they were sweating like pigs.

The fact that they choose to ignore me making me look like the idiot here, was getting to my nerves.

"Tw...." before I could finish my phone rang...frustrated I simple answered it without even looking at the caller.

The whole room sighed and I rolled my eyes, if they think I'm done they have another thing coming.

"Hello?" I asked irritated.

"Well ain't you grumpy." Her sweet voice sang. I swear she could make me do anything. We haven't meet long ago, I was still trying to came to terms with my feelings for her yet she seemed to have so much power over my happiness.

"Princess." I greeted. by the sound of it I knew she was rolling her eyes, it seemed to irritate her when someone addressed her as princess.

I could feel my lips twitching, I held it back since i wanted to maintain my scary face to my staff.

"Well grumpy one..i have been waiting for you, the food is getting cold, the candles are melting, Champaign is getting hot and the roses are dying. By the time you get your grumpy self home this romantic dinner would of turned unromantic you know." She spook.

My heart leaped at the scenario she was forcing my mind to conjure. I smiled how I...

"And I'm sure all your employees have families waiting for them...for goodness sake Alexander Taylor it's 10pm." Then she dropped the call.

I stood there and looked at my phone, one because she just dropped the call, two because she called me by my full name and three.......it's actually 10.

Turning to the crowd who where now chitchating like I wasn't in the room, I cleared my throat and they all went silent.

"Someone up there is clearly looking out for you all. Lucky for you I'm in a good mood now, seeing my fiance feels pitty on you, I will let you all leave. You are all dismissed."

I was so excited to get home, so much so it scared me.

When I pulled in my drive way, I was certain that tomorrow my mail will blowup because of speeding tickets, but to be honest I couldn't careless right now.

The smile on my face never leaving, rushing in I found the light switched off and sure enough, like my princess. ....my princess! I liked the sound of that.... had said, the romantic dinner was now un-romantic.

Her small petite body was culled up on the couch, if a human could be called perfect I was sure that at that moment she was the definition.

I smiled softly while approaching her sleeping form, kneeling, I stroked her short hair of hers.

" I'm sorry my love." I whispered, she stirred a bit as if aware of my presence.

My work suitcase was on the floor, my suit jacket somewhere on the couch and I was kneeling, beaming like a three-year old who just got candy. I wanted to wake her up so bad but the scroll on her face had me thinking otherwise.

I picked her up, one hand under her knees and the other on her back. She laid her head on my chest on contact.

Looking at her, I could not help but to admire her beauty. It wasn't a secret that I fancied her the day she woke up naked on my guest room ....ok well I might not have said it then but still.. to be fair the site of her standing only in undergarments was a sight to see.

When I reached my bedroom, I laid her softly on the bed and proceeded to gently brush her head.

" I will make it up to you, tomorrow we will do anything you want, anything at all." I whispered to her before getting up to take a shower before bed.

"Anything?" She asked, I was shocked that she was awake, but at the same time delighted to hear her voice. "Anything." I repeated her words.

"Well my knight in distress, I do hope you will deliver, because this princess is very demanding." I beamed at her before continuing my walk to the bathroom, but not before shouting. "If you keep this up I might end up putty in your hands."

She laughed softly."that's the plan." She replied. With a smile I opened the shower and the cold water hit my back ... well what do you know, the princess waked the beast without much effort.
