ERICA P.O.V

The last thing I made Xavier do since our last encounter at his house a week ago was to make him promise to return to work. I was disappointed because he didn't make an appearance at work the next day. But he came to work 2 days ago, he had kept his promise. I was elated because it meant that I didn't have to do all the work and effectively run the company.

I still wonder what those pictures could have possibly shown for his eyes to widen and for him to hide them from me. I really wanted to see them, but that's his and Alison's personal matter, and I respect their privacy.

Liz is constantly bugging me with her apologies but I'm not going to forgive her so easily. She left me alone! I still want to kill her for that.

On another note, today is Saturday. Finally the weekend! I'm currently packing my things ready to leave. I think I should leave early today, it's getting dark plus the weather is gloomy. It can rain any moment and I didn't bring an umbrella with me. I got up from my seat and walked to Xavier's office to give him the last file he needs to sign. I knocked on the cabin and went inside when he spoke, ''Come in.''

He was writing something down when he looked up at me and smiled, ''Hey, shouldn't you be heading home?''

''Yeah, I just wanted to give you this,'' and I handed him the file. He took it from my hand and kept it on his desk.

''Just sign the papers and give them to Ron, he'll take care of the rest.'' I beamed.

''Okay.'' He went back to his writing. I huffed and turned around, will he ever talk to me properly? I was about to leave the cabin when he called me from behind, ''Erica!'' I turned around with annoyance, ''Yup?''

''Will you, I mean only if you want to, only if you could, hang out with me for a while? I want to take you somewhere.'' He spoke so fast.

''Xavier I-''

''Oh no! It's okay if you can't come! I'm sorry for bothering you anyway.'' He smiled, which I could tell was fake.

''No Xavier I-''

''No I'm really sorry I understand you have your weekend ahead, go enjoy an-''

''God Xavier! Let me speak! I was saying I would love to hang out with you.'' I smiled and he smiled back genuinely. I walked out with a smile on my face, I stood outside the building waiting for him to come. He walked out of the building after 5 minutes.

''Wait here, let me get my car.'' He told me and I nodded. He went to the side of the building and disappeared into the parking area. I looked at my watch, it was 7:30.

''What are you doing here?'' I turned around startled to find Ron standing there with his arms crossed.

''I'm here waiting for Xavier, he is taking me out somewhere.''

''Oh, so it's a date huh?'' He frowned at me which was uncharacteristic of him.

''Date? Oh no! We are just hanging out. Like friends.''

''Sure.'' He scoffed. What is it with him? He's being rude to me without any reason.

''What's wrong Ron?'' I asked him but he just turned around and began walking away without an answer. Did he ignore me? Exactly at that time, Xavier came with his beautiful Ferrari. His choice of cars never ceased to amaze me. He unlocked the door for me to sit in. I smiled, got in and buckled my seatbelt.
