Ecstacy of the Heart

Alexander frowned slightly when he saw her looking terrified at him. He didn’t expect her to have such a big reaction.

Alexander raised his eyebrow, “This is my house, why can’t I be here?”

As he said, he bent down to pick up the document on the floor and then realized what she was doing after seeing the title on the document.

“I … I don’t mean that.” Allison started to blush, “it’s just that you appeared too suddenly and startled me.”

Alexander placed the document on the table and saw her terrified expression and started to laugh, “Are you so timid?”

Allison paused and said shyly, “I… I’m indeed timid and frighten easily.”

“Then I’ll take note of that in the future.” Alexander grinned, “How is your work? Have you resolved it? Do you need my help?”

Allison was stunned and reacted only after she saw Alexander pointing towards the document with his chin.

“No need.” She shook her head, “I want to do this by myself and to use this opportunity to prove myself.”

She knew full well that with one word from Alexander he could very well resolve what she was struggling with. But she wanted to prove her abilities.

Alexander was pleased with her determination and smiled in admiration. He said softly, “As you wish.”

After several seconds, he became stern again and said softly, “I came to tell you something. I’ll take you to the old residence this Saturday. Grandmother wants to meet you.”

“Grandmother?”

Allison had heard from Jennifer about Alexander’s grandmother. Their marriage was decided between Jennifer and Alexander’s grandmother except that they had never met.
