Alex instantly stood up from the chair and gave a slight bow to her. "He's at work." He straightened up and revealed a smile that held no emotion at all.
"Oh..." Leia slightly nodded her head and her eyes darted around. She took a deep breath and glanced at Alex with a half-smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Can you take me somewhere?" She asked with no utterance on her face nor in her tone.
Alex smiled and nodded at her. "Anywhere you want to go." He gestured her towards the entrance and picked up the car key from the table.
Leia half-smiled at him and walked out of the mansion with him following behind. Alex pulled the door open for her and she took her seat at the back. He started the car's engine, and they rode out of the compound before speeding off down the road.
The car rode for thirty minutes before Alex halted it in front of a flower store per Leia's request.
