I'm sure Amber almost called a paramedic to check on me. Somehow I couldn't help the grinning in my face. Just thinking that Allison is my girlfriend already makes me smile happily.

"Um... are you sure you are okay, Zac?" She frowns.

"Yes" I clear my throat to cover my grin.

Someone knocks on the door. "Come in" I say. Roger Bronx my best analyst comes in. He is in his late 40s with 2 kids and a wife. A happy life family. Opposite to my default stoic face, he is the happy easy going man. His hair is grey and there are smiling wrinkles in the corner of his eyes and mouth. His posture is straight, Roger isn't a tall man. His height is around 5'7 but he always stands straight that makes you assume he is taller than that.

"Hey Bronx" I say.

"Hey... hi Amber" he smiles at Amber. Amber smiles back.

"Zac I want to—" he trails off. "Did you.." he looks at his watch. "Did you earn a billion in 5 mins since the market opens?"

I chuckle "not that lucky."

"So what with that grinning face?"

I'm sure if Amber lacks control she already nodded frantically and agreed with Roger.

I chuckle "life is good, just that"

Roger raises his eyebrow at me, while Amber.. I'm not surprised if she secretly called the paramedic right now.

"Anyway.. what do you want from me Roger?" I ask him.

Yesterday at lunch Ocean made a scene, she squealed and hugged Allison and I tightly like we just survived from an accident. We came hand in hand, just by a glance everyone knows that we are back in a relationship.

I invited Lys as well. She told everyone that Allison wasn't at home last night that earned another squeal from my sister and a red apple in my girlfriend's face. And just because I didn't want to separate from my girlfriend yet, after lunch I took her on a date and we ended up panting in the back of my Bentley with partition up of course. Later I went to her apartment and had dinner there with Lys. I reluctantly went home since Allison needs her rest. And the day before we didn't sleep that much.

So here I am today in my office, looking at the market while my eyes keep landing on the clock at the top of my computer. Allison will come here at 11 to arrange some furniture in JB's office. And we will have lunch together afterwards.

Ah.. I can ask her to re-decorate my office. So she can come here often. Perfect!!

"Thank you Mr. Bernard," Allison says. I watch her from my door's office, leaning there. She looks so sweet yet professional.

JB smiles at her "I'm the one who should say thank you to you, Ms. Wheeler"

Allison smiles happily. "I'll see you next week when the rest of the furniture arrived"

JB nods "see you next week Ms. Wheeler"

Allison nods "see you" she turns and sees me. She smiles shyly and walks to me. I meet her halfway. "Are you hungry?" I caress her cheek.

"Famished," she says.

I chuckle and hold her hand "come on"

We walk hand in hand to the elevator, I know my employees eyes almost budge out. Never once I let my ex come to GRM. But Allison is different. I want her everywhere in my life. I want to show everyone that she is mine.

Allison is clueless with my employees' reaction. Or even though she realized it she doesn't know the reason why they are all acting like lunatics.

Alex is already in the lobby with the Bentley. He opens the door for Allison and I round the car. Amber already booked a restaurant for us. "Hey tomorrow I'm going to meet up with my friends. You want to join us?"
