Solicitude

Chapter Twelve

One Week Later...

When Xander told me that his father was rushed to the hospital, I knew that he had to be there for him.

I saw how much he loves his family, he cares for them the most. He took the week off, promising me that we would catch up soon.

The week passed and I had time to think to myself. Every day, Alexander would check up on me like I'm his precious kid. He would even tell his assistant to deliver some letters, flowers, and coffee.

Even though he's not with me, his sweetness never went away and I'm starting to love that side of him. I also like the other side of him, that's why I have made up my mind and I'm meeting up with him later.

Thankfully, his father wasn't diagnosed with any diseases, he just had to be monitored for the week. In our calls, Xander seemed so worried about him and I talked to him just to comfort him.

Right now, I'm finishing up work because Xander had promised me a date tonight. It's been a week since we actually went out together so I'm getting excited about what he's planning.

I didn't bother to come home because he insisted that he would pick me up straight after work. I finally finished signing all the documents and told Austin, my driver, to pick up my outfit for tonight.

Austin arrived earlier and handed my dress to Amanda. They both shot each other a long stare before he left Amanda, my p.a. with a wink.

It's none of my business to interfere with their personal life but if they do have a relationship, I'm both happy for them. Amanda was still blushing when she laid the dress in my office lounge.

"Amanda, you can leave now, there's not much to do. Besides, I'm dismissing Austin as well," I smiled. Her blush grew more in her cheeks. She quickly said 'thank you' before leaving the office.

The dress that Julie, my housekeeper, picked for me is my favorite one. It's the black pleated dress that I love so much. It hugs my curves perfectly but not too revealing. Just like my style.

It goes well with my heeled boots too. I checked the time and I rushed over to the bathroom and dressed up. Luckily, I had a spare purse for my date night today.

A few minutes later, Alexander knocked on my door. I expected him to tell me to come out but he didn't. Nonetheless, I instantly felt my cheeks blushing red.

I missed him so much. He was his usual handsome self, wearing a black tux. I walked towards him and he gave me a stem of white rose. He's been always thoughtful.

"I missed you," he whispered before kissing my lips gently and pulling out. God, that itself turned me on and I craved for more. His scent alone is worth craving for.

"Since we're both here, I want to give you something." He looked curious before I turned around, walking to my desk.

I hope all goes well...

I pulled out a folder, I'm guessing that it looks familiar to him. He took a seat in front of my desk and opened the folder.

He didn't bother looking to the first pages, instead, he went to the last one immediately. I could see the change in his eyes. A second ago, we were both romantic, now, lustful.

"You agreed and signed," he stated. Alexander looked so happy and excited.

I smiled at him and said, "I'm all yours," I winked. He got up and pulled me into a tight hug.

After leaving me literally breathless, Alexander kissed me again. This time, it was intense and pleasurable, making me whisper a moan. How can a man do this to me?
