Desiree's POV
After a week, I finally have a job; I work at one of the gallery museums of Alexander so that he can keep an eye on me and keep me safe, while George returns to his tower and continues to be filthy and horrible CEO that he is. I can't even look at his image on the news and I got mad that he wins his case and returns to his normal life after everything he's been through.
It appears as if nothing has happened.
I am now sighing while I paint this kind of landscape that describe the tranquility of the nature,
I'm wearing short denim shorts and a white plain T-shirt, and I've pulled my hair back into a bun as I work on a serious painting.
Then someone just knocked the door and I jumped on my feet, someone just startled me and ruined my painting, "Oh my god! What did you do?" I glared at Alexander who just came in with a tupperware on his hand and says, "I did'nt do anything bad, are you hungry? You want to eat now?"
"No, I am not going to eat. I need to finish this, the client wants this tomorrow and I can't fail." I said.
"Yeah, I know. So you need to eat to focus…" He said and I sighed, "Okay fine, but you don't have to do this, you are my boss and you are giving me a free lunch and that is not normal."
"It's kinda normal, you know?" He said as he sat on his chair and grab a chair for me, he tapped the chair and says, "Sit."
"I am not a dog."
"Yeah…you arent. Shall we eat now?"
I look at my painting and think what should I do with those errors out there, "I am going to help you today, I am not busy, do you want some help."
"Great, I always want your help." I smile at him widely, "Yeah, baby. You will always do."
"Why are you always calling me your baby?" I ask him out loud. I bit my lower lip, I just say of what I'm thinking. Damn, I am not prepared for his answer now, not now.
Oh I just ruined the moment, I take a bite of the chicken leg while staging at him. He takes the glass of water and drink it, then after that he stare at me with his warm eyes that always been breath taking.
"Because you look like a baby." He laughed at me and I slap his chest, "Oh-okay…" I rolled my eyes, that's not what I expected to him to say.
But it was fine.
I will just wait for the right time.
Then my client just call me that he wants to take the painting now, as in now.
"Oh my god, do you want to take it now?"
"Yeah, I need it now."
My client is a gay and he is a bit comoplicated to talk to, damn, what will happen if he will not like what I paint for him. Damn, I am so done.
"Yeah but-"
"Sorry, Miss McCall but I really need the painting now, I am coming in 2 minutes."
"WHAT?!" I yelled with my eyes widened. "Oh okay…" I said as I end the phone call and Alexander just watch me panicking, he just continue to eat while he is staring and observing of what I am making.
"Damn, you told me that you are going to help me?"
"You are running out of time, Desiree…I am enjoying my food right now."
I sighed and just rub the blue palette, "Yeah, I know, I am a failure…everyone will think that I am such a bad painter and they will not ask for my service anymore, I will lose my job and that't it!" I raised my both hands saying that in frustrations and Alexander cough, he just laugh at me.
"Are you laughing at me? Is theres something funny huh?" I ask him.
"No, your creations is…"
"Is Beautiful…" Mister Bricks said as he sees my painting and his eyes are sparkling in happiness, "Wow! Excellent! I love it! And why are you crying?"
"Because that as not I expected…I expect a criticism from you." I said as I chuckles and my tears rolled down my eyes, Alexander walk toward me and wipe away my tears with his bare hand, "Don't cry…"
Mister Bricks just smile at me sweetly, "I am going to take it now…" he said, "I think you are an excellent artist, I would love to order from you…you deserve a thousands of dollars!" He said happily and wink at me, he smile at Alexander and says, "I like her, is she single? I am going to take her for a party so that my brother can meet her."
Alexander clear his throat and his aura darkened, "No, she is not available." He said and glance at me, I bit my lower lip while thinking maybe he is jealous? I hope so.
"Oh, I am sad about that," the gay said and call his boyd guards to take the big landscape painting, "But if you are available, just call me, I am going to introduce you to my brother, he is a painter too. I think he will be a good boyfriend for you…" Mister Bricks just wink at me again, I can sense that Alexander is not happy with this gay anymore, he sighed and said,
"Okay, that's great, you may leave now, Mister Bricks. See you next time!"
The gay just kissed my cheek before he left us, he waved his hand happily and smile, "Just call me, dear! I will be glad to have you as my sister in law." He said and I just laugh because I think he was just joking and teasing Alexander for to be madder. He clsoe the door and left.
"Sh*t." Alexander uttered.
"What is wrong with you?"
