My famous boss (gxg)

Chapter 44

The two of us walk into my apartment to be met by a wonderful smell. Alex emerges from the kitchen with an apron.

"Hey, I didn't know we had guests." He says as he hugs me.

"My apologies, Alex remember Scarlett?" I say

"How could I forget. Alex Dentré nice to meet you." He says offering her a hand to shake, she accepts looking at him from top to bottom.

"Scarlett Johansson, the pleasure is all mine Alex." She says giving him her sweet sweet smile.

"I made some cake." he says taking off his apron.

"Oh what did you do?" I ask

"Nothing! Why do you think I did something?"

"Because you hate making cake." I say

"Well I got a recipe from Marcus himself. He told me it is to die for so why not?" He says

"Okay. We'll be in the living room." I say

"Great. The cake is cooling in the fridge it should be ready to serve in half an hour." He says

"Do you want anything to drink Scarlett?" He asks

"No thank you. I'm good." she says looking around as if she's never been to my place.

We walk to the living room and Alex disappears into the kitchen once again.

"Is everything okay?" I ask

"Why do you ask?" She says sitting down.

"I don't know you're looking around like you've never been to my place before." I say and I sit down on the couch as well.

"Sorry It's just that it's been so long since we were here alone." she says

"No it wasn't the last time I was in New York you were here." I say

"I'd rather not talk about that." She says clearing her throat.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up." I apologise

"No need to apologise. It's okay. It turned out alright after all" She says looking away from me.

"I don't know. What do you consider okay?" I ask

"Okay so the cake is served. I brought some for the two of you to try." Alex interrupts carrying two plates.

"Great. It look delicious." She says looking away from me again.

damn it Alex..

"So tell me again how did the two of you end up meeting?" Alex asks pointing to the two of us.

"I was her assistant." I say putting some cake into my mouth.

"No way." He says in disbelief.

"We met over Maria. She suggested her to me and that is how all of this started."Scarlett continues.

"No way! This is some Devil wears Prada type thing. I love it." He says

"Of course you would use that reference. Of course you would." I say

"What? You know how much I love that film." He says and smiles.

"So Dentré, doesn't really sound like an English last name." Scarlett says putting down her plate.

"Long time ago my great grandfather moved from Italy to England with his brother. They made a fortune on the grounds of Liverpool so they decided they shall stay. I just got the last name. I was born and raised in England." He says
