As Alexa stepped out of the car in front of Anthony’s company, she looked around nervously. She had never been to his office before, and she wasn’t sure what to expect. As she was about to head towards the entrance, she saw Anthony walking towards her.
“Alexa, my dear, it’s so good to see you,” he said, reaching out his hands to her. “You look stunning in that dress.”
Alexa felt her cheeks flush as she thanked him, feeling a little self-conscious in the tight-fitting dress. Anthony took her hand and led her towards another car parked nearby.
“Where are we going?” Alexa asked, feeling a little nervous.
“It’s a surprise,” Anthony said with a grin. “But I promise you’ll love it.”
Alexa couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious as they got into the car and drove off. She tried to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over her, focusing on the passing scenery outside the car window. After a while, the car turned off onto a long, winding road surrounded by lush greenery.
As they drove deeper into the woods, Alexa couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding. She had no idea where they were going, and the silence in the car was starting to get to her. She turned to Anthony, hoping for some sort of explanation, but he just smiled back at her.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the car pulled up to a sprawling estate nestled in the heart of the woods. Alexa’s eyes widened in surprise as she took in the sheer size and grandeur of the place.
“This is amazing,” she said, feeling a sense of awe wash over her.
Anthony smiled, clearly pleased with her reaction. “I thought you’d like it. This is my private estate, and I thought we could spend the day here, just the two of us.”
Alexa couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed by Anthony’s gesture. She wasn’t used to this kind of extravagance, and it made her feel a little uncomfortable.From NôvelDrama.Org.
But as she looked around the estate, taking in the beauty of the place, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Anthony. He had always been kind to her, even when she didn’t deserve it. And for that, she was grateful.
Alexa and Anthony were enjoying their lunch date when Jade and David walked into the restaurant. Alexa was surprised to see her best friend and her boyfriend in the same place as her and Anthony. She could see the shock on Jade’s face as she realized what was happening. Anthony stood up to greet them and introduced himself as Alexa’s boss.
Jade was speechless and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Alexa quickly excused herself from the table, giving Jade a signal to follow her to the ladies’ restroom. Once inside, Alexa took a deep breath and turned to Jade, who was still in shock.
“I know this must be a lot to take in, but please don’t be mad at me,” Alexa said, her voice shaking a bit.
Jade looked at Alexa, still trying to process everything that had just happened. “How could you keep something like this from me?” Jade asked.
Alexa looked at Jade with sadness in her eyes. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know how to tell you. It’s complicated, and I didn’t want to jeopardize our friendship,” Alexa said.
Jade took a deep breath and sighed. “I understand, but you could have at least told me,” Jade said.
Alexa hugged Jade tightly. “I promise I’ll make it up to you, but for now, please don’t tell anyone about this,” Alexa said.
Jade nodded in agreement. “I won’t tell anyone. But, Alexa, what’s going on between you and Anthony?” Jade asked, looking at her friend with a curious expression.
Alexa hesitated for a moment before answering. “I don’t know, Jade. It’s complicated, and I’m still trying to figure things out,” Alexa said.
Jade looked at her friend with concern. “Just be careful, Alexa. You know how men can be,” Jade said.
Alexa nodded in agreement. “I know, Jade. But I trust Anthony, and I believe he has good intentions,” Alexa said.
