In a close range, looking him in the eyes, Susan speaks up. "With all do respect sir, I heard that you and Ava have been close before I started working here at your company, right?""We're just friend...Nothing more." Xander replies with a straight look without hesitation."And working here, she befriended me and for the first time in my life, I was happy I have someone to speak with at my work place." She says continuing to explain a fact to him."But of recent she looks at me differently. Sometimes with disdain in her eyes. That, I can't tell what's going on with her. I planned to keep a low profile and cause no trouble in this company, I don't know but I already feel like I'm in trouble already. So here comes my question sir, is something going on between you and miss Ava? Because there is definitely no problem with that."A moment of silence fills Xander as he is stalk contemplating in his mind whether he should trust the fact that Susan has high respect for him and would not mis

Ava's hands tremble at seeing Susan stand there at the door. How did she even come in without the sound from the door? How long has she been standing there? Did she hear all I was saying now? These go through Ava's mind as she stares at Susan, who is standing at her door looking right at her. To be sure, she quickly covers up by saying."Alright ma'am. I understand. I will call you back later. Do have a great day." She speaks so formally to deceive Susan of what she must have heard.Susan observes, she is done with her calling, so she walks fast to her desk. She keeps a frowning face. She wishes to explain to Ava that what she saw in the morning was an accident and it's totally a misunderstanding. Ava stares at her with curiosity filled in her eyes. Both stares at each other for a while. Who will go first? They both wonder."Ava..""Susan…". Both mutters the same time."Okay… You go first." Susan stretches her hands to Ava.Ava scoffs, putting out a plastic smile. "No! You go first."

"Hmmmmm, let me think about it and get back to you on this note." She says as she chuckles into laughter. She feels wow at her acting skill, though she didn't last long and gave out herself by laughing.She then says to him. "Okay, you can come pick me up from work. About that, you are coming from your studio outside town. Will you make it on time? Or you plan to close earlier than scheduled?" She asks John out of concern as to how he will get to her work place before she close as he works far.John smiles and comments, "someone is caring about me." He says in a sweet voice, making a cute face."But not to worry, I had a long day already, so I plan to close early today. I will use this opportunity to come pick you up and we catch-up. Like I said, I have something to discuss with you." He explains to her to relief her of the feeling of security and guilt that he might close early because of her.Susan comments after listening to him. "Alright, you always got things figured out before s

Staring at Ava for some seconds, Xander smiles with his heart filled with joy because Susan thinks highly of him in all things. At least for letting him know she will be okay and won't be following him home. He is not in the dark as Ava speaks. However, he looks at her and smile, leaving the corridor where Ava has been standing to fill in words into his head. Seeing him walk out with such a smile on his face must have made her look like a fool, and whatever she said had made no impact on him or his thoughts.Walking back into his office, he listens to side whispers as everyone is busy looking out and those who aren't looking are obviously talking about it right from when John entered the company's reception to inquire about Susan. She is known facially, but not everyone knows her name. As John sat whilst waiting for her, other workers saw him while passing, "Damm... He's cute." One whisper. "You don't say... I wonder who he could be waiting for? If it's she, then she's definitely luck

John always knew that Mr Xander loves Susan but to his best of knowledge of how he acts towards Susan makes him realize that Mr Xander is yet to understand his feelings towards Susan though, he sees her as a great friend and a good person. But given that circumstance they're in, John is curious to know what occurred after this whole accidental kiss. He breathes down lightly and asks. "So what happened after the incident? What did Xander say to you?" He asks in curiosity in order to extract the whole details.Susan's eyes turn sideways. She is shy regardless that John is her bestie, such hasn't been said between both of them before. She draws near to him, dropping her ice cream. She gives him a rundown of how she ran out of the office, leaving her boss and Ava there and afterwards, her boss came looking for her to apologize that it wasn't intentional, and no one will gossip about it.Just then, before she could conclude, John cuts her off. "You mean to say he just apologised, and that'
