🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - TWO🌹

Before Alexander has the time to talk, a soft knock on the door is heard. Are you kidding me? I just want to know the answers and now I never get the chance if everyone keeps interrupting him. It's like the world doesn't even want me to know.

"Enter" He yells out, and the grumpy guy is back, but the question is, was he ever gone to begin with? He does change when he's around me, but is it because he's around me or is it because he wants to be cruel to others and not me, wait that is the same thing.

A man comes inside the office, he's holding a stack of papers. "Sir, these need your signature before they will be shipped in the mail" He says, he's hesitant but that could be because he's afraid of the man sitting by the desk in front if me. The man doesn't even notice me, since he hasn't looked my way the whole time he's been here.

"Set them on my desk, you can pick them up by the end of the day" Alexander says, he's cruel and his voice is powerful, not once does he show emotion in his voice or in himself. I don't understand how he can do that, just change his personality too quickly.

The man nods his head and hesitantly comes deeper into the office, it's clear that he's afraid of Mr. Knight. I would be too if he would continue to talk to me like that, but he doesn't and I'm not afraid of him, not that I was ever afraid of him to begin with.

He sets the papers on his desk and then he hurries to get himself out of the office and closes the door. "I suppose I will need to sign all of them, raincheck on that talk?" He asks, though I can tell that he doesn't want to sign those papers and would rather want to talk with me, or at least I think that.

I stand up. "What will I be doing? I've never worked on the weekends" I tell him, this is new to me and I guess this will be my future one day since I will be the boss of my own company someday. My mom doesn't work on the weekends, though.

She never has, when I was little, she used to make so much time for me. The two of us were always together, and we were pretty close. And, we are pretty close still. "Just your usual work. The weekend is like all the other days, just you get paid a lot more" He says.

That does help me a lot, since I have no idea what I could do. On the weekends, he doesn't have a secretary, I have no idea how he does things then, but he does manage somehow. "It will be fine, you'll do great" He says and smile at me, it does give me confidence.

He probably noticed how afraid I was while walking over to the door connecting the offices. "Thank you" I tell him, and give him a smile in return. I open the door and walk into my office, it's exactly the same as it was yesterday when I left, only the flowers are dying a bit more than they were.

It makes me sad that flowers don't last very long. The beauty in flowers is extraordinary, like out of this world. Well, according to me and my mom, and my dad. Especially roses, they're the prettiest of all flowers in the world, that is what at least I think.

Work goes by like on a normal day in the week, but the only difference is that it's the weekend, but it doesn't feel like it. I didn't see Mr. Knight the whole work day, he was busy the whole day in his office, going over those papers and signing them. Apparently that takes forever, he hasn't even taken any breaks, lunch or bathroom breaks.

He must be starving by now, it's five in the afternoon, and he hasn't eaten anything since he ate with me this morning. Does he skip every meal? That is super unhealthy for the human body, and he needs to eat. I walk over to the door and knock on it.

He doesn't yell out as harshly to me like he has done from the beginning and he does to everyone else. I open the door and walk inside. "Alexander, the day has finished and I need a ride home. Lena's somewhere and you're my only ride home" I say and smile to him.

He looks up from his desk and at me, though I can see that he really wants to finish those papers, he isn't even finished with them. He stands up and walks over to me. "Of course" He says and we walk out of his office. "You can finish that if you want to, I can wait" I tell him.

I don't want to take him away from work, I know that work is very important, especially for people. "I was about to stop anyway, I've let them know that they will be able to get those papers tomorrow" He says. Nod my head as we walk into the elevator.

"You know, you can sleep in my house again if you want, in fact you can stay there whenever you like for however long you'd like" He says with a warm smile and this side of him is a side that I really do like. "I would like to spend the night at your house" I tell him, I really do like his house and there is so much that I haven't seen.

There has to be something behind those doors that I saw all over his house and I really would like to explore it'll. "Perhaps we can explore your house together and figure out we're everything is, since neither one of us does know" I tell him with a giggle.

He chuckles. "You are correct on that. I take you on your offer on that tour" Alexander says to me, as the elevator door opens. We walk out of the elevator and I can't help but smile. Being with him makes me so happy and I know I shouldn't be this happy with him.

He hurt me so much and I had a plan to get back at him, but now that plan has turned to dust. He's been so kind towards me and I don't want to hurt him, even if he has hurt me a lot more. But, that just proves that I'm the bigger person here.

When we go into his car, and put on our seat belt, I get an idea. "Can we get dinner before we go?" I ask him, the clock might only be about five in the afternoon, but he hasn't eaten in a long time and that worries me, it isn't healthy and he needs to eat, I want to make sure that he does eat.

"Why?" He asks, not really expecting this question from me. "Because I'm hungry" I lie, I don't want to tell him that I worry so much about his health, I don't know why I don't, I just don't want to tell him. Besides if I tell him that we're only going to eat because he really needs to eat, he would most likely shut down that idea right away and drive straight for his house, I don't want that to happen.

"Of course, I know a place" He says, he did hesitate for a small while, clearly not expecting this. Then he starts the car. "No" I'm quick to say before he could go on a lane directly to the place he wants to go to. "I would like to pick the restaurant this time" I tell him, a bit nervous of his answer.

I know from the research I made of him, he does take a lot of women to restaurants. Five star restaurants, the best of the best and my heart aches when I think about all the women he has had. "All right, which one will it?" He asks me, not happy that I'm the one picking out the restaurant.

But, he has to know that he won't be the only that can pick out everything. I tell him the restaurant I want to go to and I hope he has never been to it or one of his lady friends that I don't really like. It's also a restaurant that is about two or three stars, I don't exactly know which on it is, but that doesn't matter to me.

If the food is good, I'm in for it. Besides, the food is the whole part of it, and if the food is good, then it doesn't matter which restaurant. Beside the restaurants that he knows and has been to because of the women he has taken there and it hurts me.

"So, any reason why you want to eat so early, and don't say you're hungry. I know you had three small nut bars only half an hour ago, you can't be starving after that" He says. And just like that, I've been busted. How did he know that I had those nut bars, I got hungry so I had a little snack.

How did he know that I was lying? I guess I will never know that. I nervously laugh. "Would you believe me if I say that I just want to eat early?" I nervously ask, I might not know how he knew I was lying but I don't want to tell him the truth, I know for a fact that he wouldn't like it.

"Nope" He says and pops the p, with a chuckle. Driving the roads to the restaurant, we're in front of the it and he parks the car. "Seriously, this place has children in it" He says with a disgusted voice. I only get offended by that. "You don't like children?" I ask.

In my opinion, children are the best. They're so cute and innocent and so much fun to hang around and play with. Their brutal honesty is also amazing, they say everything that comes into their brain and it's so adorable, children in general are just adorable.

I wish I could have had a younger sibling, but I never had one. But, I do remember that I used to ask my mom for a sibling, but she always said that she didn't need another child because she has me and I'm the only child she will ever need in her life.

"No I don't" He tells me rather harshly and then he goes out of the car, I don't even get to say anything about it. The only thing I could do was process the words. Those three little words, that hold of lot of meaning. Somehow his words do hurt me so much.

Even if the two of us have a future together, I would want to have a child, children in fact. I want at least two children. But, I do want them because I love children. If we have a future together, at least one of us isn't going to get what they want.

Either I don't get children and he will be happy, or I will have children, and he will be unhappy. Either way, it wouldn't work out. Because of this discovery, I don't think we can even have a future together. This does change our relationship. Then again, why am I even thinking about our future when we aren't even together in a relationship, as in dating.

I shake my head to get rid of those thoughts, I shouldn't be thinking about that now. And I get out of the car and follow him inside the restaurant, knowing that it will either be rather good or it will be a disaster and I hope it's not the latter, but I know it will be. Here's to hoping.
