Alexander could be heard laughing at her reply. There was nothing else but the sound of his voice in the other line but if she listened even more carefully, she could also hear other things.
She imagines him out in public, making a call and with people around. His tall and handsome figure stood out in the middle of the hallway or street, catching people's gaze and curiosity. Just like how Alexander was with Eve when they reunited at the grocery store as he caught everyone's attention.
Eve could picture in her head how people would react seeing him out in public at the moment and might even believe it could happen.
"Your man must be lucky to have gotten such a beautiful and smart person as his lover." He replies
"Hmmm... how about you become my woman? I'm equally rich and handsome like your lover? Please accept this proposal and be my lovely wife? " Alexander doesn't shy away from his sweet talk, Eve couldn't hold her laughter hearing how shameless he was. She doesn't usually reply with his flirting but it wouldn't hurt to indulge him a bit.
"I'm sorry Mr. Miller but I don't wanna cheat on this man, my lover, you see, I think he is the only one for me and I cherish him dearly. Even though I haven't seen him in days, I missed him and feel lonely without him, I think of his handsome face every day and couldn't even think of anyone else.
"She smiles and heard silence on the other side of the line. Eve continues to tease him and seeing how he reacted, made it even more fun to do so.
"By the way, he even took a photo of us sweetly snuggle into each other as I sleep in his arms, I love Alexander so much and wouldn't even dare entertain other men Mr. Miller so I hope you won't say such things. Alexander will be the first and only man I will love in this lifetime " she says and her voice slightly turns fond when she talked but Alexander was quiet for a few seconds. He suddenly made a noise, as if he was holding his breath and he spoke as if he lost his voice. Eve tries to contain her laughter.
"Molina....did you just said, you love me? " Alexander, who was pissed after being called for work had finally finished his business and was heading back home, he called for his young lover and wanted to flirt and tease her only to be surprised. He was just about to exit the car and head inside the airport's private gate when Molina confesses her love for him and that caught him off guard that he scared a few people around with his voice. Especially his secretary and pilot.
Even though they've established a relationship and have lived together since then, Alexander hasn't ever heard Molina say those words. No matter how he tries to seduce her and tease her, she never once told him she's in love with him. He didn't mind it and it never became a problem in their relationship but being told by your young and beautiful lover that she loves you, there are no words to describe how Alexander was feeling at the moment.
"Molina did you just--"
"Oh Mr.Miller it seems like my boyfriend would come home later, I don't want him to misunderstood that I'm talking to another man " Alexander was still standing in the middle of the pathway, his tall stature couldn't be missed by the eyes of the people, he was dumbfounded at how Molina easily avoids his words.
"What?! Molina, say it again please, baby, I'm not joking anymore " Alexander's deep voice was so soothing to hear, she could hear his slightly impatient and yearning through the phone.
Too bad, he started this game of teasing, and she's just continuing it for him.
"I'll only tell those words to the man who will arrive back home, well then Mr. Miller, I hope you have a nice day " She ends the line and couldn't help but laugh at how shameless they were, although it's normal since they were a couple, she couldn't even believe she told Alexander how she feels.
Eve was obviously in a good mood after the good news and being able to tease her lover.
Back in B Country.
Trevor Williams had been the Miller's family private pilot ever since he had finished working ten years on commercial airplanes. Being a few years older than Alexander, he had known his employer and knew he was a very strict man who has always priorities work.
Seeing him again after months of Alexander staying in N country, Trevor thought the young president of ML company was going to return to B Country with that person but he guessed that Alexander was just searching for someone and found them seeing how he looked calmer than when he arrived in the foreign country.
Was the person he was looking for persistently for three years was just someone related to his business projects?
Trevor thought, he will never know.
Alexander Miller was still the same though after he returned to B Country, he wouldn't look at you twice when you don't have anything important to say to him, his strict way of speaking didn't change, his short response still leave you on the edge and he still emits a cold aura that makes it harder for anyone to approach him.
After being back again in B Country for in two weeks, Trevor was called to make a proper preparation on a private plane as requested by James Zild, the young president Miller's secretary.
Now Trevor was waiting for Alexander at the entrance of the private gateway as his co-pilot was left on the plane with the few flight attendants. After seeing the young president walking with a few people behind him and a phone near his ear, Trevor was about to greet and lead them to the plane when he heard Alexander's voice filled with surprise and even emotion.
The present people around other than the bodyguards and James had to look at each other looking for answers, a few seconds later, Alexander's call got cut off and there was a defining silence that passed.
Trevor thought he had heard wrong but he had been able to listen from a close distance of a few feet. He tried to conceal his shock by smiling.
"James, Captain Williams " hearing his name, Trevor got a bit surprised and nervous about what the man was about to say. James, on the other hand, looked calmed like the professional secretary that he was.
"Check my schedule next week, cancel anything that's not important. Captain Trevor " he looks at the nervous pilot's face and almost made the older man stop breathing in fear " get me back in N country A.S.A.P"
