"Oh my God, they look so good together"
"Noooo, my Adoniiiis....."
"So it seems like the gossips circulating are true."
"What a social climber, she must have thought this through."
"My goddess is already taken, this is too soon. I didn't even had the opportunity to say hi to her yet."
"What do you expect, do you think she'll notice a fly like us?"
"Why do you have to be brutally honest."
"I'm not even surprised, If I were as perfect as our boss I'd snatch the hottest girl too."
"Your goddess is a gold digging b*tch."
"Shut up Karen you're just jealous, you're not as pretty."
Leona would have rolled her eyes with all the loud whispering going on as she and Xavier walked out of the office while holding hands, but her cover does not permit her to be sassy so she instead appeared bashful and gave out a fake awkward smile to her colleagues. The cat is out the bag now, they are about to transition to phase two of their mission so they could move in together in the suspected subdivision so she decided to just go with his flow.
'You're not allowed shoot civilians Leona, let them be.'
Looking at the guy infront of her, it's really a mystery how his relationship is such a big deal to everyone, he's not a part of the presidential or the royal family after all. She deduced that maybe it's because he is handsome and rich that is why whoever he dates is such a big deal to his herd of crazy fans. Not believing at all that the real reason is because Xavier never had a love interest before and that is why it is a wonder to see him being affectionate with her.
'Pfft, who would believe that there is still a pure chaste man in this era?'
'Unless he's gay? or a psychopath maybe? or maybe he just find himself too important that he thinks no woman could match his awesomeness?' Leona has this thoughts with a subtle funny change on her expression.
Due to her training, it's not noticeable to other people but to Xavier who has tried so hard to study this stoic woman beside him knew that she has let her imagination run wild again. He learned these past few weeks, that even though she appeared bored and uninterested with almost everything. She has this tendency to over analyze on some things that she's curious about and he's trying to not let his lips raise to not spook her, he's feeling flattered knowing by the way she was staring at his back that it has something to do with him. Finally he felt that there is some progress in their relationship although he has an inkling that whatever she's thinking about him right now is not something he wanted to know, patience is a virtue and eventually he will be able to change her view about him someday. So for now he'll be contented with her 'Analyzing' him.
Leona was too caught up with her thoughts that she didn't realized that they are already in front of his car, he closed their distance and lightly swept some of the strands of her hair away from her face. They look too intimate that the people witnessing it can't help but to pause and stare at them in awe.
"Honey I love it when you lost track of your surroundings while thinking of me but that's dangerous." with that statement Leona gave him an exasperated expression.
"Excuse me? What made you think that I'm thinking about you?" She would rather die than admit that he crossed her mind while cursing herself internally for being reckless just like what he mentioned, she even spaced out while 'judging' him that it defies all her training. 'This guy is dangerous, how can I lower my defenses when he's around.'
"See, you're doing it again." This time, Xavier is too happy with his fiesty lioness that he can't help the grin on his face and teased her.
"Doing what?" Leona crossed her arms on her chest and feigned ignorance, not backing down and looking straight into his eyes.
Xavier took advantage of her stubbornness to get closer to her, he leaned forward until his lips are already brushing on her ear and whispered. "Thinking about me."
Leona gulped and was speechless for a good few seconds. 'What the hell is wrong with this guy, how dare he try to get touchy with me? Why am I even flustered???'
Minding the eyes that are currently gaping at the 'romantic' scene in front of them, leona stealthily stepped on his foot and slightly leaned back.
She gave him a fake smile, and whispered angrily. "What are you? a mind reader?"
When Xaiver grimaced from having his foot stepped on, stood straight. She took it as a chance to escape him and opened the car door. She swiftly sat inside, leaving the poor guy by himself outside.
"Something like that" Xaiver whispered to himself while chuckling. With all the effort he invested in studying her body language, she's almost an open book to him now.
He followed his Lioness inside the car with a teasing look on his face, leaving all his employees paralyzed due to shock.
Even when they work in his company they seldom see the big boss, he always use his private elevator that comes directly from his private underground parking to get to his office. So seeing him amidst the bustling crowd, flirting with a girl had their mind crashing.
He is an extremely private person that it's even stated in every employee's contract that they are not allowed to take his photo and share it in any means to the public and The King's name is too powerful, that not even one soul has dared to try test it. Each one of them are filtered thoroughly before employment that no potential spies can get to his territory and his meticulousness on security and privacy had all his employees scared for their lives, a few of them who were offered a substantial amount of money for his information or even just his photo declined any tempting reward without second thoughts. Not to mention working under The devil King is an honor for each one of them, his name is too mighty that they always receive praises from their family and peers for getting a job at XWT. It's a shame they can't document and share this juicy gossip to anyone outside.
The poor frozen workers, who were fed with dog food in broad daylight snapped out of their shock after seeing the car sped away and huddled together to confirm with each other if they've witness the same thing because heck, it's too surreal that it's more plausible to say that they were having mass hallucinations*** than for it to be real.
