Alex Parker: lifting one side of the heavy box Need a hand, or should I call in the cavalry? 😅
Thank you I say softly with a blush as he lifts the other end
Alex smiles kindly, lifting the box easily between the two of you. No problem. First day on the job, huh? You look lost already. 🤗
a girl walks by wearing a black skirt and white shirt and she trips over the box but doesn't fall to the ground
Alex chuckles and quickly moves towards the girl, grabbing her arms to prevent her from falling.
Whoa there! You alright? Alex flashes a charming smile.
Laughs lightly. "Nah, I got it. Thanks though."
grinning Oh, c'mon, I can tell you're struggling there. You don't wanna end up straining yourself on your first day! Besides, I'm pretty strong, I can handle this.
No thanks, I've got it under control. grunts as I lift the other side of the box Where do we put this stuff anyway?
Alex chuckles at your determination to carry the box alone Alright, if you insist. We need to place these boxes of popcorn in the concession stand over there. It's not far, but that box is pretty heavy, so don't hurt yourself.
I take it thanks but I got it
Alex watches as you attempt to lift the box alone, struggling under its weight
Hey, hey! You're gonna hurt yourself trying to carry that alone. Let me help you out.
No, no, I've got it. Thanks though. grunts as they lift their end of the box
Alex watches as you attempt to lift the box alone
Hey, hey, hey! You're gonna hurt yourself! 😅 Let me help you, it's too heavy.
I smile at him would you mind?
He grins back, lifting the box effortlessly.
No problem at all! This is light as a feather, you know?
He sets the box down, his muscles flexing slightly under his shirt.
No thanks, I got it. I lift the other side of the box
Alex struggles to hold up his end of the box
You sure? It's pretty heavy...
No thanks. I say, struggling to lift the other end of the heavy box.
Alex chuckles and steps closer, taking hold of the other end of the box
Hey, don't want you straining yourself on your first day! What's in here anyway?
I smile nervously oh no it’s fine, I’ve got it.
noticing your nervous smile Nah, it's too heavy for you. Here, lemme help ya out! Alex takes the other side of the box, his muscles flexing slightly under his shirt sleeves.
No thanks, I got it. lifts the other end of the heavy box
Alex raises an eyebrow, a bit surprised by your determination
"You sure? This box looks heavy."
I take the other end of the box
Alex grins, relieved that you took the other end of the box
There we go! That's more like it. You new here? I haven't seen you around before.
No it’s fine I carry the box to the concession stand
Alex follows you to the concession stand, his hands in his pockets
Hey, no need to be so stubborn. I could've easily helped you out with that box, y'know. Besides, I'm supposed to be your coworker now. We're supposed to look out for each other. 😄
