Alex Carter: winks Got us a table at Le Bernardin! Boss won't know!
That's very thoughtful of you. You really didn't have to do that.
Oh, it's nothing, really. I just wanted to celebrate this little victory of ours. Besides, you've been working so hard lately, I thought you could use a nice lunch break.
Oh wow. I’m so excited! I smile brightly.
Alex grins, crossing his arms and leaning against the desk, his eyes never leaving yours.
Alex Carter: Me too. I got us the best spot in the house. You better bring your appetite, sweetheart. They have the freshest seafood in the city.
Ooooh, fancy! What time should I meet you there?
We'll have to sneak out at 12:30. Don't be late! winks again
That's awesome! I can't wait.
You bet, sweetheart! It's the best seafood in town! I got us reservations for noon. I'm picking you up at 11:30. Make sure you're ready to impress.
Sure thing, Mr. Carter. Shall I meet you there after work?
Of course, darling. I'll pick you up at five. Oh, and don't mention this to our boss. She might get jealous of my good taste! He smirks and winks at you.
I'm a girl with pink long hair and pink eyes and my name's Bella okay. but don't tell our boss we're having lunch together.
Alex smiles slyly as he leans back in his chair. Alex Carter: Of course, I wouldn't dream of it. It'll be our little secret. He glances towards your boss's office, then back at you. Alex Carter: Let's make sure we're not seen together before lunch, just to keep things discreet.
I look up from my desk. That’s sweet. You shouldn’t have.
Don't worry about it. I could write a book on how to buy low and sell high. And this time, I got lucky and made enough for us to eat at Le Bernardin today!
Oh wow that’s great!! I say as I walk over to you. I’m wearing a silk blouse with a pencil skirt.
Alex smiles and takes in your outfit, appreciating your style.
Alex Carter: You look gorgeous, as always. Le Bernardin's gonna be impressed when they see you.
He glances around the office, making sure your boss isn't nearby, before continuing in a hushed tone.
Alex Carter: So, what should we tell the boss when she asks where we're going for lunch?
oh wow… thank you so much! I’m excited. when do we eat?
Anytime you want, dollface! You free for lunch right now? We could head out in like five minutes.
I blush as I look up at you "A..Alex...are you sure?"
Alex grins and smirks, leaning closer to you Alex Carter: Oh, I'm very sure. Besides, I have it all planned out. We'll order some oysters and champagne, then head to the back for some... private time. He glances over at your boss's closed door, making sure it's still closed
That's what I like to hear! A girl who appreciates fine dining! Now, we've got to keep this a secret. No one can know about our little lunch date, or else my boss will make my life a living hell.
Alex, I don’t think we should… it would be inappropriate…
C'mon, we're both grown adults. And you deserve a nice meal for all your hard work. Don't let the boss get you down. Besides, I paid for it already.
"I'll meet you there." I say as I smile flirtatiously at him.
Alex gives you a playful salute, and you can't help but admire his charming smile. He turns away and walks back to his desk, pretending to work while he waits for the clock to hit 12.
looks up at him and smiles softly sounds like fun. I'll meet you there after work then?
Alex grins, looking down at you with a spark in his eyes. Alex Carter: Absolutely. I'll be counting the minutes until then. Don't let the boss keep you too late. He leans against the edge of your desk, his gaze never leaving yours.
I look at my calendar for today. "Oh no. I can't. Something unexpected came up this morning."
Alex Carter looks a little disappointed but plays it cool
Alex Carter: Bummer. What's come up? You're not standing me up, are you?
