Chapter 53

The Elite Restaurant:

Alexia entered the well-furnished restaurant and was led to the private area of the place where she met Alexander sitting looking handsome in his black Italian suit. The suit had his initials and his last name written on the breast side.

Money washed him, he looked so handsome and gentle. As a gentleman, he stood up quickly when he saw Alexia, he helped her with her seat and helped her adjust it once she was seated.

'I googled your favorite food and it brought out hams and burgers, is that true?" Prince Alexander raised his hand as he talked, calling one of the waiters who immediately answered.

Alexia smiled, she nodded her head. Within some seconds, the waiter came in with a tray filled with hams and burgers. Alexia's eyes greedily watched as it was placed before her, her mouth watered and she looked at Alexander hoping he won't mind her being a little messy.

Alexia took one of the buns, licked her lower lips then took a bit off it. She set it down, chewing the ones in her mouth when she suddenly spat it out.
Alexander looked at her with a worried face, he stood up quickly but she was quick to smile and assure him that she was okay.

'Is this pickled Hamburger?" Alexia asked him and he nodded his head.

'Oh, I don't eat pickles."

'I saw you eating it in one of your interviews when you first took over your mom's company." Alexander seemed to have been busy stalking her.

Alexia looked at him with suspicious eyes which made him realize what he had said. Remembering the first interview she had with the youngest C.E.Os back then, she remembered Dylan was with her.

She was challenged to eat a Pickled burger in two minutes. What they didn't know was that Alexia hated Pickled burgers but Dylan knew. He removed the onions quickly so that they would be able to eat them. Ever since then, Alexia bought pickled Burgers because she wanted Dylan to remove the pickled onions for her.

Dylan didn't know why Alexia loves him so much, the little things he does in the relationship like this made her fall madly in love with him. Thinking about Dylan, Alexia suddenly lost the enthusiasm to continue the date with Alexander especially because the man was nothing but nice yet she was thinking about an ex-boyfriend.

'Are you okay?" Alexander asked. She smiled and nodded her head tossing the thought of Dylan away from her mind, she needed to focus on Alexander. Her new hope. Her new love. Her new heart. Her new chance at happiness.

Clarissa's brunette hair scattered all over her shoulder and back, she looked like she was going out as she walked to her car. By the time she opened the door of her car, she saw that Dylan was staring at her from the street as her house didn't have a fence.

'What do you want?" Clarissa rolled her eyes at him.

'Alexia."

Clarissa laughed.
'Really? After everything you did to her, do you still plan to do more? After hurting her several times and kissing Kylie twice?"

Dylan sighed.
'I really love her, Clarissa. I... I can't think or do anything knowing she is not by my side and she can be any man's babe anytime soon, I cannot bear to see that!" he groaned just by the thought of it

Pitying him and sighing, Clarissa rested her back against the car side and looked into space. Seeing Dylan like this was something she never expected, he was that arrogant rich playboy in every cliche novel but now, he looked like a were chicken. Clarissa had once fucked him when she was still using her body for money, Dylan sleeps with girls once and lets them go no matter what.
Seeing him beg for Alexia was kind of shocking.

'Dylan, she wants to move on. Last night, she told me she will give more guys a chance to heal the pain she accumulated over the years with you. She never really healed, she only married Henry because she wanted to hurt you. Leave her alone Dylan, if you really love her then that's the sacrifice you have to make. Space will help her clear her head and mind, it will help her know what she really wants. Dylan, I can't promise that she will love you if you give her the space." Having said this, Clarissa tapped his shoulder and entered her car.

He moved away from the car and watch her drive off leaving him in his dilemma once again. Looking at the time, he drove home drowning himself in work, liquors, and entertainment.

The Next Day:
Morning: 8 am.

'Good morning, ma'am." Executive assistant Liam started walking beside Alexia as she walked to her office typing on her phone. She looked excited that morning because she had woken up to Alexander's text sweet text messages.

'Nice, fix meetings with the DT electronics," she replied Liam and he nodded his head.

'We are done with the supermarket Elevator installing, we did a couple of test running and it was hundred percent effective." Liam smiled.

Alexia nodded her head.
'Is that all?" she asked then paused looking at him.

'Yes, that's all ma'am," Liam replied. Alexia nodded her head and dismissed him, she continued her journey only to collide with someone.

'I'm so sorry." she apologized and began to pack all of the files that scattered all over the floor.
Alexia packed the files quickly oblivious of the second party not helping her.

She was about to pick the last file when a large pair of arms stopped her and lifted her. It was Dylan who lifted her and the person standing in front of her was Kylie.

Alexia sighed painfully while a peal of victory laughter escaped Kylie's lips.
'You only walk for the D and S department and you are already this arrogant, what if you work..."

' I didn't ask you to defend me." Alexia was quick to shut Dylan up.

She looked at Kylie with raw hatred but remembering her purpose for accepting her to work in the company, she masked her feeling with a warm smile before walking away.

Dylan watched her with a million broken hearts.
