Draco's heart swelled in anticipation. He hurriedly continued, "What I wanted to say was... Little Riley, I lov-"
However, he did not get to say the words because a bellow sounded from behind.
"Boss Draco! Finally, I found you. You were not answering your phone. Your grandfather-" Alex prattled on. He only saw his boss from behind and did not notice the other person he was holding. It was Draco's violent, sharp gaze that eventually stopped him. Then he saw the mop of hair that peeked at Draco's shoulder and the hand that gripped his boss's shirt.
"Oh my god!" Alex exclaimed. He quickly turned around and apologized profusely. "I-I'm sorry, boss."
"Leave," Draco commanded.
The boss did not yell, yet Alex's knees quaked. He was about to take a step when he remembered the phone he was holding. The Sy patriarch was still on hold on the other line.
