"Hi! Ready to go home." A man spoke by the door. 

This time, it was a sound she wanted to hear all day. After a very tiring workload and the stressful incident with Edward, hearing his voice was a reward in itself.

"Yes, just give me a few minutes to tidy up." She told him as she quickly piled up her papers not yet done on the other side of the desk and grabbed the ones she had finished, putting them on the outgoing files. 

"I heard that you had a visitor earlier," Alex stated as he made himself comfortable on the chair, earlier occupied by Edward.

He knew that Edward would make a stopover at her office once he asked him to consult about a file with David and Evan. Edward would not pass up the chance to create mayhem where he could.

But he knew that Dani could handle him easily. It was one of the things he admired about her. She probably had learned from her mistake, just like him. They had learned to see beyond the surface.

"Well, I did. If you put Edward up to the challenge, I guess he failed." She teased him as she moved towards him and pulled him up from his seat.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I did not. I only asked Edward to do some filing, but he could not help himself from admiring someone as beautiful as you." He countered.

He grabbed her by the waist with one hand and put his other hand on the side of her face, guiding her until their faces were inches apart. But he did not kiss her and just stared into her eyes.

Somehow, in his heart, he knew that he could trust her. That whatever happened, she would not betray him. It was written all over her face how much she trusted him too.

"He could look, but you know that I am all yours." She had no idea where those words came from, but the way he was staring at her eyes mesmerized her. 

It was as if he was reading her soul, analyzing her deepest feelings. She could never lie to him, and it felt the same way with him. An invisible cord bound them together and entwined them to be as one.

"I am also all yours." He lowered his head this time until their lips connected in one passionate kiss.

But he quickly broke away, remembering that they were not alone in this office. Anytime, Jacky would walk in and catch them making out. He would not mind, but he knew that Dani did.

"Let me just get my things." She pulled away from him as soon as she had her footing again. 

She seized her bag at the side of the table and her coat on the rack. Then, she walked back to Alex's side. He took her hand in his as he guided her out of the office.

"Jacky, we will go ahead?" Dani said goodbye to her friend, who was also getting ready to leave.

"Yeah, sure. I'll see you tomorrow." Jacky said, knowing that Dani was staying with Alex tonight.

She did not mind since she was going out herself. She felt excited at the same time apprehensive about her date or not date with Lance.

It felt weird that they were going out, because despite what she said earlier. She could not help but expect that something more would happen to them. She was a woman, not a robot.

"Bye," Alex said to Jacky as they both walked ahead of her into the elevator. 

"I hope you don't mind if I ask this. Why is Lance here again?" Dani could not help but feel sad for her friend.

She knew that Jacky had feelings for Lance. She already felt it before and earlier when she expressed her fear. She wondered if Lance's presence here would only hurt her friend even more or helped her move on.

"He is helping me with Edward, and at the same time, we are working on a project together." He told her, curious with her line of questioning. "Why?"

"Nothing. I am just curious why Lance is here when he is not initially part of the plan." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

Maybe she was also hoping Lance was here solely because of Jacky. That he was hopelessly in love with her friend that he could not stand being away from her. What was she thinking anyway? 

"If he has any other reasons for being here, I am not privy about it." Alex confided with her. 

He could only assume that her question had something to do with Jacky. But he had no answers for that. He had no power over what Lance felt for her or any plans to meddle with his affair.

They fell into silence while they rode the elevator, busy with their thoughts. But once they were inside the car, they started to chat again about their day.

"What about we go to dinner and a movie?" Dani suggested. She suddenly pulled out a bag behind her, at the backseat. "Do you think you are up for a disguise?" She asked him as excitement covered her expression.

"That sounds perfect." He agreed as he drove them to their destination.

Ever since their successful adventure using their disguise, they decided to put another set on the car just in case they decided they wanted to do one again. 

Tonight, it seemed to be the right time to put on their silly hats and enjoy the night away. She could not wait to see what he had bought them. She had not seen it yet, but she knew she would enjoy every minute of it.

"What about Chinese for dinner?" She suddenly remembered the small Chinese restaurant just beneath her office when she was back in her old job. She had loved the food that they served there.

"I don't mind. Do you have something particular you want?" He asked, wanting this night to be all about her. 

He would drive her anywhere if it meant seeing her happy. He could not get enough of seeing her smile. And what made all this great was that she did not ask for the moon. She only wanted to be with him.

What else could he ask for when he had the perfect girl beside him.
