Chapter 180: Disguise

Fortunately, she only had a few files left to review for the day. She could afford a slight distraction in the form of the attractive man waiting outside her office. She suddenly wondered what he was doing here when it was still office hours.

She concluded that he must have a meeting either with David or Evan about a case. That was the only explanation she could think of at the moment.

"Why are you here? We are not supposed to see each other until later." Dani could still remember their last conversation this morning about meeting at his apartment. But she could not stop the fluttering of her heart from his mere presence in her room.

"Why? Do I need a reason to see my girlfriend?" Alex said, walking straight to her location, which was behind the desk.

Seeing her light up upon seeing him was more than a reward for him. The slight tinge of color on her cheeks was the indication that she was checking him out, which only heightened his hunger for her. He could not wait to have her alone again.

"Usually, but I am not complaining if you keep insisting on seeing me." She stood up from her chair and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him for a quick kiss.

"I miss you, but there is another reason why I am here." He told her as he pulled slightly away. He raised the paper bag that he was holding and gave it to her.

"What is this?" She peeked at the inside of the bag. "Did you buy me some clothes?" She looked at him curiously, then pulled out the content of the paper bag.

It was skinny jeans, a black shirt top, sneakers, and a baseball cap. It was not the usual clothes she would wear, so she was curious about its purpose.

"Let's go change, and then we are going out." He said, holding out another bag in his hand with his change of clothes.

"Wait! As in right now?" She looked at him as if he had gone mad. It was still early for her to leave. Besides, she still had a few more files that needed her attention.

She could not drop everything and run away with him with a few minutes' notice. She was only an employee, unlike him, and he was not even her boss. 

The idea of spending time with him was very alluring compared to the stack of papers waiting for her on her desk. She looked at him again and debated if she could leave behind her work for him. But she already knew the answer to that.

"Yes, as in right now. Don't worry about your boss. I already told them that I would need your services for the rest of the day." He told her.

He already considered that she would not just go out with him during office hours. She was too dedicated to her job to slack off like what he was doing right now. 

Not that he was not the same, but he could not wait to spend time with her. He felt that he wanted to experience new things with her and show her how special she was to him.

"You can't keep using your privilege as an important client and their friend to get me out of doing my job. What I do is very important to me, and I don't want them to feel that I ignored my responsibilities to go out with you." She pointed out calmly at him, not wanting to make it awkward for them. 

She appreciated what he was trying to do. But she was afraid that it might affect her chances to be taken seriously by her colleagues if they knew that their bosses gave her special treatment because she was dating a client.

She had avoided this situation by detaching herself from the shadow of her father. She did not want to go through that again with Alex, using his influence for her.

"I'm sorry. I did not see it that way." He was not offended at all. "But I understand. If you don't mind, I would rather stay and wait until you finished, and we could continue with my plan."

On the other hand, he never felt prouder of her action. Other girls would be thrilled to be whisked away from their responsibility to have fun. But like he had always known, she was different from most girls he knew.

He knew that he made the right decision to drop everything else and see her. He just discovered something else about her that only added to her charm. 

The more he learned new things about her, the more he was falling for her. Was it love? He had no idea, but whatever it was, he was falling fast and deep.

"Why don't you go to David or Evan's office and talk to them?" She suggested so he would have something to do except sit down on the corner of her office and wait for her.

Because the thought of him staring at her while she worked was not quite appealing. She knew that she would hardly be able to concentrate on anything with his eyes on her.

"They are both out with a client. I don't mind sitting there quietly." He indicated on the corner side of her office. He pulled one of the chairs away from her table to sit on it. He took his phone out of his pocket and waited. 

"Fine, but I don't want any distractions from you. You can't move or speak." She warned him as she returned to the documents on her desk. 

Luckily, she only had three small cases she had to review and give her evaluations. After that, she was free to leave. 

But every time that she would look at him and their eyes would meet, she found herself thinking of him for a few seconds before she would snap back to her work. 

She felt it took longer to finish the three files compared to her regular speed. She could not focus as her mind floated in the clouds, as excitement flowed through her veins with what he had planned for them.

"Finished." She finally announced, but she knew she had to review it again in the morning. She was not that confident that she did a thorough job with it.

"Now, let us go change." He said as he stood up, carrying the paper bag.

"Aren't you going to tell me your plans?" She asked him. But from the way he was smiling at her, she already knew the answer.

"Nope. It is a surprise." He handed her the bag at the same time that Jacky popped up her head in her office without knocking.

"I am going ahead. I know that you two already had plans. Sebastian also called, asking if we could grab a quick dinner." Jacky told Dani, saying goodbye to the both of them before leaving them alone.

"Stay safe, Jacky. We are also on our way out." She replied to her before she was out of her sight.

Well, they also started getting dress in the clothes he had bought for them. Dani was surprised once again that he knew her exact size. But his only explanation was that he read the label of her clothes.

Now, they were off to whatever surprise he had concocted for tonight.

"What is this for again?" She asked the reason behind the change of clothes.

"Disguise." The only word he said before he guided her to the back exit of the building and to a parked car she did not recognize.
