The British Billionaire

8: Looks Can Be So Deceiving

There it is, the holy picture of Alexander Shaw. He looks sooo... *sighs*

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"How is it that you have hot guys swooning all over you?" Rose asks me in a seemingly calm tone but I could hear the envy behind her sweet voice.

"What do you mean?" I couldn't point out if this was about Ian flirting with me or the fact that Alexander was staring at me yesterday at work. Maybe both.

"I mean that you got a hot guy picking you up later this evening during your first day at work."

"Oh, what's your point?" I glare at her suddenly feeling annoyed that she was just talking to me now while she was being a bitch yesterday.

"The point is you're so unfair." She half whined. I internally shook my head, bitches.

I continued making my cup of latte to help me up this morning. There weren't so many customers around and some of them were just busy eyeing down their laptops or phones, a good enough reason for me to freely grab a cup of my favorite latte and take a sip while leaning my hip against the counter.

I went home last night to see Cass silently sleeping on her bed while Emily was still doing something in her phone. I asked her where they went that day and just my luck that they went sightseeing nearby the London bridge. I didn't tell her that me and my boss already went there, maybe when Cass was wide awake already that we could all discuss it together with a cup of coffee.

The familiar sound of the small bell hanging on top of the door made me look up and grin widely as the familiar from of two girls walked up to me and looked up at the wide menu plastered on the wall above me.

"I'll get the hot chocolate please and a cup of coffee." Cass mocked.

I laughed and shook my head as Cass placed money on top of the counter. "It's on the house."

"Really?" Cass asks brightly. "Then your job does have an advantage after all."

"Hey!" I scolded. This job did not have a single advantage. Well maybe the free latte does.

"So how was you first day of work yesterday?" Emily asks.

"It's been okay but there was this hot guy..." I trailed off and glanced at Cass who looked intrigued when I said the word hot.

"Who?" Cass leans forward looking eager.

"Ian."

"Hook me up with him!" Cass demands as I pass her cup of hot chocolate.

"No can do." I shook my head and smirk at him. "He asked me yesterday if I could grab a snack with him after work.

"And here I am thinking that we would be having the night off together." Cass mocks hurt and I laugh.

"My boss was giving me the creeps yesterday though. He was staring at me the whole time I was ringing up customers in the morning. He just went away after Ian went off." I saw Emily open her mouth but shut it as if she decided not to say anything.

"You were going to say something." I directed at Emily who looks flushed like I caught her do something bad.

"No I wasn't."

"No. Come on, spill." I put a hand on my waist and glanced at Cass who looked amused.

"It was just that I thought your boss got jealous that Ian invited you out and he didn't" She smiles at me.
