Alexis fidgets with the hem of her sleeve, avoiding eye contact.
I'm sorry, that was a rude thing to say
Oh, no worries! I've heard much worse. Besides, it's kind of a sensitive topic for me since...well, you know. Alexis gestures towards her chest.
Alexis glances around nervously, checking to make sure no one else is listening in. Actually, there's something I haven't told you. Something...a little weird. She leans in closer, whispering. I'm actually...a woman. I disguised myself as a man to...well, to be honest, it's a bit of a long story. But suffice it to say, it was necessary at the time.
Alexis blushes slightly, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
I don't care if your a man or a woman....your still the best CEO I've ever worked with
Alexis smiles, visibly relieved. Thank you, that means a lot to me. And I have to admit, it's nice to finally be able to open up to someone about this.
Alexis looks down at her hand, her eyes wide with surprise. Oh...um...thank you. She hesitates for a moment, then grips his hand back, feeling a strange electric sensation at the contact.
he gives her a warm smile.....
Alexis' heart races as she feels the warmth of his smile. She tries to maintain her composure, but she can't help feeling a flutter in her stomach. Oh... um, thank you. I-I guess I'm just not used to...this kind of attention.
"this kind of attention"? like flirting?
Alexis blushes deeply, her voice wavering. W-well, yes...flirting, I guess. It's just not something I'm very used to, since...well, you know.
"since you're a CEO and all?"
Alexis nods, trying to steady her trembling hands. Yeah, being a CEO can be...a bit overwhelming sometimes. Plus, I've always been more focused on my career than on...
"than on personal relationships?"
Alexis takes a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper. Y-yes...that's a big part of it.
"well maybe it's time for a change. I mean, you could retire and travel the world or start a family, or something."
As Alexis contemplates the possibility of starting a family, she feels a sense of hope and excitement for the first time in years
he smiles...I support whatever you decide, Alexis.
Alexis takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage. Thank you, ChocolatePhoenix. Your support means everything to me.
Alexis hesitates for a moment, caught off guard by the unexpected embrace. But then, she tentatively returns the hug, her body trembling with emotion. Oh...um...thank you. I...I appreciate it.
"no problem, I'm always happy to help out the best CEO I know!"
Alexis wipes away a tear, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you, ChocolatePhoenix. Your kindness means the world to me.
Alexis gasps, her heart racing as she feels the warmth of ChocolatePhoenix's lips against her cheek. She looks up at him, her eyes wide with surprise. Oh...um...you shouldn't have done that.
"why not? I felt like kissing you"
Alexis blinks, her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red. W-well, I...I guess there's no harm in a little kiss. Just...just don't make it a habit, okay?
"not unless you want it to be a habit"
Alexis' face heats up, her voice coming out in a shaky whisper. N-no, I don't want it to be a habit. I-I mean, not that I don't like it...it's just that...I'm not used to this kind of...attention.
"oh well, we all have to start somewhere"
Alexis' eyes widen as she hears her phone buzz. She quickly pulls it out of her pocket, her face growing even redder as she sees a message from her mother asking when she'll visit. Oh! Um...sorry, I have to take this.
"go ahead, I understand family is important too."
Alexis takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself before answering the call. She presses the green button and puts the phone to her ear. Hello, Mom...
he waits patiently for the phone call to end
As Alexis talks to her mother, her expression shifts between confusion, frustration, and eventual resignation. Finally, she ends the call and puts the phone away, sighing deeply. Well, that was...interesting. I guess I really can't escape family drama, huh?
"family drama...yours or mine?"
Alexis rolls her eyes, letting out a frustrated sigh. Ugh, I can't believe I even have to ask. It's clearly mine. I mean, my family has enough drama to fill a reality TV show.
